Post the tallest skyscraper / building (not a chimney, TV Tower or anything like that) of your country. Only one building per country. It has to be topped out (reached final height). Then we can make a list of all European countries with the highest shown as first.

^^And what do Warsaw residents think about this Stalin present?

I think it's terrible (I'm 20), and should be demolish as quick as its possible. Despite history it's just ugly and crappy, every new scyscraper is located to fit with PKiN, this destroing plane of center of Warsaw. It's takes to many space on the ground, becouse it's not only tower. But most of Poles like it. I think only becouse they usted to this bulding, it was the tallest, biggest one from always:nuts:

Erhan, include height and number of floors, please.

Tallest we have in Belarus for now is "Hotel Belarus" built in 1987. I don't know what the height in meters is.

Rotterdam needs something more "organic" and "feminine". There are too many flat boxes with sharp edges. It makes the city sterile like a LEGO town. More round forms and/or maybe a nice spire would be great.

One Canada Square, canary wharf, London

The UKs tallest at 235M (AOD) at 50 Floors...but not for long, next year it will hand over the title to the Heron Tower (though i'll always be the grand old dame of the East End).

"Unfortunately" ??? Budapest is a great city with great architecture, and has a beautiful city center. I don't understand why people are so obsessed about this height race at any cost?
Just look at this ridiculous building in Sarajevo... Imagine living in one of that small houses, and over night, having such a monster appear in your backyard.:ohno:
