Genex Tower, or Western City Gate (Serbian: Западне Капије Београда, Zapadne Kapije Beograda), is a 35-storey skyscraper in Belgrade, Serbia, which was designed in 1980 by Mihajlo Mitrovic in the brutalist style. It is formed by two towers connected with a revolving restaurant at the top. It is 115 meters tall and is the second-tallest highrise in Belgrade after Ušće Tower.
One of the towers is occupied by the Genex Group. The tower got its popular name "Genex" after this group, while its official title remains Western City Gate. The tower is designed to serve as a highrise gate to greet people arriving via Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport from where Genex is easily visible.
The second, taller tower, is used for residential purposes.
The building is located in the Novi Beograd municipality.
