From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Finished Aupark Tower in 2008

Aupark Tower is a controversial high-rise building in Bratislava located in the district Petržalka which is a part of the shopping center Aupark. It is being built by HB Reavis Group company. The construction began in 2006, the framework was completed in the beginning of 2007 and completely finished at the end of 2007. The building offers office space for rent.

It has staged shape and height of 96 meters, 22 floors and there were proposals to reduce it to 15 floors in order to allegedly save the panorama of Bratislava. The HB Reavis Group company was offered to buy some lucrative ground on the Petržalka Danube-riverbank between the Old Bridge and the Apollo Bridge for favorable cost. This solution was not realized, however, as it was decided that it would have been unprofitable for the city. The opponents of this building argued by the immediate vicinity of the New bridge and optically devaluing the locality.
