Central Tower, Modern office tower near Warsaw Central Station, Poland.
Central Tower is a 26-story office building on Aleje Jerozolimskie in Warsaw, rising to 115 meters (377 feet). Its glass-and-steel facade features two lower side sections that frame a taller central portion, giving the building a stepped profile when viewed from the street.
Construction began in 1992 during Warsaw's economic recovery after 1989 and was completed in 1996. The project was among the first to bring modern high-rise building methods back to Poland after decades in which that kind of construction had largely stopped.
The tower stands at one of Warsaw's busiest junctions and is surrounded daily by commuters, travelers, and pedestrians. It is one of the first modern high-rises built in the city after the political changes of 1989, and many Warsaw residents use it as a landmark to orient themselves.
The building sits directly on Aleje Jerozolimskie, close to Warsaw Central Station, and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport. The interior is mainly used by office tenants, so the best way to appreciate it is from the surrounding sidewalks and open areas nearby.
The elevators were supplied by a Finnish manufacturer, a choice that reflects how much Warsaw investors relied on Western European expertise during the construction. This kind of international sourcing was still relatively new in Poland in the early 1990s.
