Mennica Legacy Tower

CATEGORY
New Office Building of the Year, Poland
Mennica Legacy Tower stands for exceptional architecture, state-of-the-art technology, functionality, and top-quality finishing materials. It is a complex that sets a completely new benchmark for top-class office buildings across Europe. Mennica Legacy Tower is carried out by Golub GetHouse and Mennica Polska SA in Warsaw’s Wola district. The complex of 65,630 m2 consists of the 140-metre-high Tower and the 43-metre-high Western Building. The project was designed by the renowned Chicago-based architecture firm Goettsch Partners, which decided to work with the design consultants Epstein. Mennica Legacy Tower has much more to offer than office space. The aim that guided the investors from the very beginning when designing Mennica Legacy Tower was to integrate the complex into the urban space and accentuate its city-forming character. This is perfectly evidenced by the development of the urban passage in front of and between the buildings of the complex, including the planted trees.
