Warsaws 3rd tallest building, and in my opinion one of the best looking towers in Europe. :cheers: :cheers:

Yeah, that's a good looking tower! Good news for Warsaw, which already has a nice skyline! :cheers:

Any more renderings?

cool tower!

A great addition to Warsaw's skyline!! The city definitely deserves it!!

Congrats! :D

Looks Nice :cheers:

Bloody hell, Warsaw's going to have an amazing skyline.

I can't really figure out where the tower is going to be built... it clearly is near the central station and the palace of culture and science, but in which direction (north? west?)?

Rondo 1 is going to be build right behind the building that says Bosch. The short green one. The first building on your right is the main train station. Palace of Culture and Science would also be to your right. Its a perfect location :)

Well, to tell the truth those 194m include antenna mast :cool:. Nevertheless it's gonna be great :)

Tower will be situated to the North-West from the Palace (and very close to Warsaw Financial Center) and to the North from the central station.
Look at first rendering - Palace of Culture is visible there, on the left, and Marriot, which is really close to the central station, is on the right :)

You Warsaw guys are so lucky. Getting more dense by the moment. This tower is really nice.

Really nice tower.:)

This tower is one of my favourite buildings from Europe.

This is cool project :) .

Wow, great Il'd realy liked the entrance area, great design.

Great tower.

Warsaw's skyline will look really American after this gets built.

Yes, very nice looking design indeed...but I hope to God that Warsaw isn't going or planning to look like an American city with it's planning and architecture. Lucky this building doesn't look very American...it's original and very European (if there is such a thing) in my opinion. Wish it was taller though >(

I think this could become the best looking scraper of Warsaw!! I like the design. And its good to see something tall getting under construction!!! :okay: :cool:

love the tower!

wow, I'm very happy for Warsaw! This city could become the skyscraper capital of Europe some day(maybe very soon?)! ;)

i can't wait to see it!!!

Hey, this is my avatar :)
OK, I'm joking, you can keep it, if you want :D

hehe, sorry i just picked one from the list. thanks for letting me keep it, but i'll change it anyways, cause i want it to be original.

The construction site looks busy. Hope the building
will rise so quickly as nearby IC hotel (almost completed).

Awesome building! Decent height as well for a European building.

Any chances to see fresh construction pics? :) hasn't the framework started yet?

I don't know, our photographers are lazy :D But at this moment even foundations aren't ready and there's nothing interesting to look at :)

Very nice!

what an amazing building! I love it!

This is how Warsaw City Center will look like with "Rondo1" and "Zlote Tarasy":

interesting pics of the construction site. the neighbouring intercontinental is a disappointment though.

Ups... :hammer:

http://www.sky.s64.pl/home/Plany/rondo01.jpg

haha how dare you compare this place to Bangkok :D hihihi snap out of it , and compare this city with helsinki or some other small city ;) goodluck

heh yeah its real nice... only i have 1 question... how low can u make a 40 storey building? since they might start building one soon... they have given a hight of only 120 meters.. which is! SMALL!!!!!! howcome

@ch1le
a residential of 40 storeys and 120-130m is quite a normal thing because floor-to floor height can be as low as 3 m. Different thing for A class offices, it's usually about 3.5-3.7m

i'd say it looks great. Looks nicer than Rotterdam. LOL

Rondo1 by me :D
http://100tka.net/~dziki/wawa/r1.jpg

What is Euroflag doing there? :|

Because Cap Gemini / Ernst and Young is a french company maybe. French firms enjoy a lot the EU flag and to say that they are the first investors in Poland :D (But E&Y surely took a british architect because the company has british roots)

Nowa siedziba = New headquarters / Ernst and Young 2006

http://www.rondo1.pl/img/photos/b09.jpg

The general contractor/investor is a polish branch of german Hochtief. Ernst&Young has signed simply a lease contract with HOCHTIEF for 11,000 square meters (the whole space is 95 000) of office premises and it will be the main headquater for their 1000 polish employees.

Germany and France do a good job so :D

I have seen that there is this Rondo 1 building (the tower) which is actually called Rondo 1 Budynek A, where is B? And will there be any other buildings called Rondo 2 ... etc?
