Szolnok high rise

Szolnok high rise is a residential tower in the city center rising 81 meters with apartments distributed across many floors. Its concrete structure and vertical form create a distinctive presence in the downtown area.

The tower was built in 1975 during Hungary's rapid urban expansion when high rises were constructed to solve housing shortages. This building method became the standard response to population growth in cities like Szolnok.

The tower defines Szolnok's skyline as a prominent residential landmark and shows how the city transformed during the post-war period. It reflects the era's approach to housing urban populations more densely in central areas.

The centrally located tower gives residents direct access to public transport, shops, and services throughout the downtown area. The position allows visitors to get a good view of the city center from different angles.

The tower offers inhabitants and visitors panoramic views of the Tisza River and surrounding landscape, serving as a rare vantage point in the city. Its height provides an uncommon wide perspective over the otherwise flat terrain.
