This is great news for a nice hard-working nation who have had an awful shackled recent history, now that these shackles have truly gone the skies the limit, literally! I hope Poland thrives & gets the investments it so dearly deserves.
Thank you.
You don't understand. The dream of "thriving" is far gone with the bullshit things our government put us through. It's back to PRL depression, meaning: soviet times depression.
Kind words - thanks !
We don’t we our government destroy us from inside 🥲
Way to Go Poland!
Patrząc na dzisiejszą Warszawę,to aż nie chce się wierzyć,że podczas wojny to miasto było obrucone w gruz.Dziś Warszawa,to dynamicznie i prężnie rozwijające się miasto.I oby było tak dalej.
Bo to było tak : " co, my nie odbudujemy? ... potrzymaj mi piwo " . W końcu nie tylko Warszawa podniosła się z gruzów
I lived one year in Warsaw, and I was faced with how fast this city growth in the last decade... I hope to visit this building soon
Lovely city one day I visit the Warsaw,Poland love from India 🇮🇳🙏🏻

I have been to Warsaw last week and was really fascinated by the city and its people. They seem to be very forward looking and optimistic. And apart from all those fancy high rise buildings they are actively constructing brand new, modern and affordable housing in the outskirts, which are connected to the city centre by a modern public transport system.
I'm from Germany and tbh, given how little our leaders embrace the opportunities of the near future and care for current challenges like housing AND lack of strategic outlook (don't get me started on the fu*king Nordstream project, for instance), I would gladly see Poland catch up with and maybe even surpass Germany in the next decades. From what I've seen, they earned it.
Dziekuje i do widzenia, neighbours!
Hehe, nice to read it :D Greetings from Poland.
Greetings from Poland
Warsaw is an amazing city, I will go back soon… Lengyel, magyar Két jó barát 🇭🇺🇵🇱
Fuck Hungary and nazi orban
Same about Budapest. My dream is to visit it and walk around a bit. Looks absolutely gorgeous on pictures. My mum used to travel there in the 1970s to buy stuff that wasn't available here in Poland.

Poland is a truly beautiful country, which has risen like a phoenix from the ashes after the devastation of the Second World War and decades of communism.
awesome city! great city Poland, indeed, well done !
The entire country of Poland is wonderful!
Beautiful modern Warsaw 😍🏙
I was born in Warsaw 70 years ago and I don't think so.!

Nice video, this is not only a new skyscraper, is a new urban climbing location.
Some climbers goes to the top.
Bucket list indeed to visit this city & best hopes from Missouri USA in your future!!!
Very beautiful high buildings 💯👍❤️
I love Warsawa my favorite european city, i hope someday Czech Republic (country where i live) will take also inspiration from you brothers.
I would like to see it in Brno. Because it was probably one of the most destroyed czech city in ww2, and now IT specialist call this city as European silicon valley.
And how people think here in late 2000s that this city will become Czech Manhattan.
I hope someday we will join same way as you brothers ^w^ 🇨🇿❤🇵🇱
Wow, cheers.
Skyscrapers are ruining Warsaw, not making it nicer.
@@Wondwind skyscrapers make warsaw nicer.
@@dragonlukasmapping805 How.
@@Wondwind its different.
Skyscrapers are like low rise and medium rise building in europe everywhere you can see glass medium buildings in city center and nobody cares actually people like them.
Also what change is it? Paris building skyscrapers too (la defense) and people like that part.
Same goes to London, Frankfurt, Vienna etc.
Because they building these new squares outside of historic one.
In case of frankfurt and Warsawa its hard to make it how it was.
Btw i would be glad if skyscrapers replace those commie blocks.
There will be bigger skyscrapers, I believe it! of course in Warsaw :D
Beautiful.
I was born in Warsaw 70 years ago and I don't think so.! I don't like my city, will look like Hong Kong, Singapore or Manhattan.
@@miroslawsita7062 you can’t compare these Cities to Poland💀

Greetings from Warsaw 😎👍❤
L suppose you are Polish, like myself. I was born in Warsaw 70 years ago....i nie podoba mi sie, ze amerykanskie dupolizy, chca z niej zrobic jakis Manhattan albo Hong Kong. Cale szczescie, ze Grecja, Holondia i Wlochy nie dostaja podobnego pierdolca.. Od 34 lat mieszkam w USA i znam prawie caly kraj. Srodmiescia ( downtawns ) w kazdym stanie i prawie kazdym miescie, wygladaja prawie tak samo...Czy Was, Polakow, bedzie cieszylo kiedy W-wa tez bedzie wygladac we wspolczesnym, anglosaskom, kolonialnym styli.???
Tak cieszy nas to.
@@miroslawsita7062 Hej Mirosław🙂 Warszawa jako miasto przyciąga bodajże najwięcej inwestorów w Polsce i potrzebuje naprawdę dużo m2 przestrzeni biurowej, a że działki są bardzo drogie w centrum i atrakcyjnych terenach położonych blisko centrum to jedyna szansa by zarobić na inwestycjach to wysoka zabudowa i tak właśnie się dzieje nie tylko jeśli chodzi biura dla firm ale także hotele czy pod deweloperkę mieszkaniową. Przykładem mogą być wieże Platinium Towers czy Towarowa Towers. Także Warszawa jest raczej chyba skazana na wysoką zabudowę w centrum i okolicach zwłaszcza części Woli i warunki zabudowy dopuszczają wysoką zabudowę. Kompleks Varso Place został zrealizowany przez słowacką firmę HB Reavis. Czy nam się podoba taki wygląd centrum, miasta? Pewnie zdania są podzielone. Mnie osobiście tak, bo lubię wysoką architekturę, taki skyline miasta i z pewnej perspektywy robi to wrażenie. Chyba większości zresztą też co widać po filmikach na kanale POLAND ON AIR. Każde większe miasto w Polsce ma swoją unikalną architekturę i zabudowę jak Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań czy Gdańsk a Warszawa może mieć jedyną taką unikalną w skali kraju wysoką architekturę z wysokimi budynkami nawet na skalę europejską bo w Europie poza nielicznymi wyjątkami jak Paryż, Londyn, Frankfurt, Milan, Madryt nie ma wysokiej zabudowy. Pozdrawiam 🙂
@@miroslawsita7062 Tak, chcemy żeby warszawa tak wyglądała. Nie powinieneś mieć dużo do powiedzienia skoro sam mieszkasz tysiące kilometrów od polski. Poza tym, o czym ty mowisz? Wiesz że amsterdam, haga, rotterdam (holandia) i milan, rzym i neapol mają łącznie dziesiątki wieżowców?
@@inuester6971 Nazwy krajow i miast, piszemy z duzej litery. Czy centrum Rzymu, Amsterdamu Neapolu a nawet Wiednia, i Pragi czeskiej, tez sa tak obstawione drapaczami chmur. Czy byles w ciagu ostatnich 20 lat w Honolulu.? Jezeli nie, to nie wiesz jak tam spieprzono krajobraz. Chcesz wiedziec jak wyspa wygladala uroczo w latach 60-tych.? Musisz obejrzec fillm z Elvisem Presley pt. "Blue Hawaii " Pamietaj, procz mamony sa jeszcze inne wartosci. Czy wiesz, ze milionerzy zostawili sobie jedna z wysp, w stanie orginalnym. Aby tam sie dostac potrzebne jest specjalne zaproszenie. Dla motlochu, z ktorego robia niezla kase, pobudowali wysokie ,szkaradne hotele a sami delektuja sie prawdziwym wygladem tej jedynej wyspy, ktora jest skansenem, nietknietym przez Big Business,!
Nice ❤️
I think ceiling height to be the true height of a skyscraper. Everything else is landlording and garnish.
Warsaw is definitely the number 1 metropolis in Eastern Europe now. Looking like a real global city.
Poland is in CENTRAL Europe, not Eastern Europe.
@@kenb3552 Give it up with the CENTRAL thing. You don't need a central, you can just split east and west. Which many people still do, that places Poland in the eastern half.
@@maxisussex which makes us, Poles, angry. East means Rrrrrrussia.
@@fox570808 In English "eastern" refers to all the countries formerly to the east of the iron curtain, which includes Poland. "Central Europe" has never caught on in English speaking countries, which is why most English speakers don't use the term.

The day I met this robot, I'll break his neck 'cause he's taking over our jobs! I heard in Japan some hotels use robots as waiters/waitresses instead of human beings.
Idiot talking
Never understood why antenna is considered the part of a building, a spire is understandable
The building in 4:08 is not the National Library building. It is the Krasiński Palace near the Old Town.
Krasiński Palace holds a part of the National Library collection. But you are of course right, it's not the main National Library building in Mokotów, about which they were talking.
ahhh yes 230m building with 80m spire to beat record by 40cm.
😂 lmfaoo
In my fictional world, This project already finished and successful
Slavs are the top builders of skyscrapers in Europe ngl. Lakhta Center, Varso Tower... That's incredible!
Cool story bro. Maybe they should stop funding huge buildings and start getting more significant export industries and end their corruption so they actually become a rich country one day and not some parasite in the EU.
I dont think a Polish or any slav company built it
@@ss-gu9gi So the tallest building in Europe was built by Russian "Gazprom", but i don't know about Varso Tower
@@ss-gu9gi it was build in a slavic country, with slavic money, and workforce. It doesn't matter where the building company has it's HQ, because its usually for taxpayer money
The investor is HB Reavis from Slovakia. Architects of the Tower: Foster&Partners from the UK.
Architects of the rest of the Varso Place: HRA Architekci from Poland.
That’s a fine tower
Okay while technically true I think having a giant mast on the top of the building is cheating. If the Varso Tower and the Shard were side by side I think most people would agree the Shard would seem much taller and grander. I know the top floor of the Shard isn't much higher than Varso Tower but the way they've added height above that on the Shard is much better as most people looking at the building would think the floors go all the way to the top.
I predict that in a few years they'll hang a wire to a drone and measure the altitude of the drone as the height of the building. They should measure the top floor instead of the antennas.
I live in Warsaw and agree with you. Varso is 230 meters to the top floor, however nobody is cheating, according to International rules of calculating buildings height every solid structure counts.
Museum is still the most beautiful
I don't want to sound negative but adding a massive spire to the building just to make it taller is cheating
Good to know that on bruj khalifa is 300 maters spire 🤨
It's not even really a spire, but an antenna. Even worse.
Poland try to be again great
A very beautiful view of Warsaw! The Varso Tower may be the tallest in the EU, but it is a long way from the Federation Tower in Moscow (373.7m) and the Lakhta Centre in St Petersburg (462m), which is the tallest in Europe.
@@montekore374 Przegrany. Trzeba było lepiej uczyć się geografii w szkole.
Ruzzia is not Europe, it is Mordor
Without the mast, the tower is only 230 meters high. There are buildings in Frankfurt, Madrid or Paris that exceed that height.
The buildings in Frankfurt, Madrid or Paris exceed that height with their masts, so what are you trying to say?
@@comdo831 without their masts
Commerzbank tower in Frankfurt 🇩🇪 is taller 256m>230m without antenna
Even the "Messeturm" in Frankfurt 🇩🇪 is with 256m taller than the Varso Tower. And there is no Spire or Antenna ❤
Even though the uk is not a part of the eu anymore the first super tall tower in the eu was the shard.
The varso tower is cheating tho. Antenna is extremely long (which isn't only unaesthetic but also not really part of the tower itself). For example The Commerzbank Tower also has an antenna but it isn't counted as structural height. Commerzbank Tower official height is 259m, with antenna it's 300m tall.
London's Shard is also 230 meters with 80 meters antenna inside, but it is just covered to immitate one structure.
To be precise, the last usable storey of Commerzbank Tower is located as far as I remember 217m above ground level, so it is even bigger cheat than in case of Varso Tower.
@@arturciosek2987 imo it should be all about structural height. Antennas shouldn't count.
@@arturciosek2987In this case, Burj Khalifa has also only a total height of about 500m and about 108. Floors, all storeys above are not for walking, only to have the Biggest One for Dubai 😅
The Shard comes by its height honestly, instead of by virtue of an antenna that is almost a third the height of the building it's tacked onto and isn't actually a integral part of the structure of the building. This is called vanity height and is not really legitimate.
The Shard has a height gain vanity hat too, only on the Shard the hat is better hidden from view. And frankly, the Shard is an ugly monstrosity, just like the other high-rises in London. Creating style isn't something the English are good at.
@@comdo831 Agreed. Plus, attenae are still part of the structure, so it count. Doesn’t matter if there are floors.
@@comdo831 a bit harh and unfair... Shard is not that bad looking... Nevertheless who really cares about centimetres? Its all PR and thats it. Hopefully the skyscrapers will serve the cities well.
@@joannab7403 You need to be high on testosterone to understand the mine is higher than yours feud :)
@@comdo831 Shard looks better in the night. Not that I could much about the Varso Tower
It is a nice building, but the actual height is 80 meters lower then...the antennas doesn't count.
The height given is with the spire. Comparing it to other skyscrapers (i.e. Shard) without a mention of it is like comparing your salary to those of others forgetting to deduct tax ;)
Currently London has the most proposed skyscrapers, 138 will be built by 2030
You forgot about Transition Technologies MS headquarter
warsaws skyline is very beautiful but i think this building is no supertall, as well as all the other ones cracking the 300m mark only because of their spire..
Warsaw needs at least one megatall skyscraper to take the title away from ruZZia.
And USrael :)

I visited Warsaw many times, and I actually really don't like the city at all. The new skyscrapers comprise only a very small part of the city center, the rest is dull, grey and depressive. I have been to many other cities in Poland, all of which I fancy much more! Gdańsk, Kraków, Szczecin, Poznań, Sopot! Really nice cities:) Greetings from 🇧🇻
No. You have not been to Warsaw.

@@Yasin_2312 yes, is a joke 😊
You can thanks to slovak company HBReavis who brought and builded this skyscraper in Poland.
Varso Tower height 230 meters! The mast is superfluous😊
And some climbers scales the mast
Exactly. Cheater height.
agreed (im polish)
I TOOK THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK …….. TO POLAND !!!!!!! 🇵🇱 😊
As a person who knows a thing or 2 about skyscrapers.
I say London is 1st on the list of # of highrises/skyscrapers build/UC.
Frankfurt is 2nd and than followed by Warsaw.
Also neither is Warso tower (230m tall) or London Shard (244m tall) are the tallest but 22 Bishopsgate is (278m tall)
Honorable mention: Commerzbank 259m tall, Messe Turm 257m tall.
Soo the building is only 230 meters tall and has an 80 meter antena? That's underwhelming. There are taller buildings in "third world countries".
Nice try, but antennas doesn't count, the building then is not the highest building in the EU
I am always Frist views
Poland very rich.
Including the antenna is cheating in my view.
🇵🇱❤️
Kinda looks like something build in the 70s US.
Respect for the memory of World War II

Of course "forgot". Europe is cancelling russians.

Warsaw is the best city in Europe.
completely agree😊😊😊
I saw this "best city" with my own eyes twice within last two weeks while transferring between flights. I saw trash, beggars and literal SH*T on the pavement 2,5km in a straight line from this tower, at the west rail station.
I think I've seen better cities than this.
Gdańsk and Kraków are still beyond of this
Thank's God. Would you like to watch the Wawel castle behind skyscrapes scenery..?
300 METERS OR 1000 FEET !
Is this an advert? Sounds like it.
My mother hates it that skyscraper is in the place where my moms old job was and that why she's mad
20-30 storey should be the max for future construction since they have high cost maintenance?
If it is not Manhattan with astronomical property price every building with more than 20 storeys makes no sense with additional cost for fire security, plumbing, elevators, distance needed to other buildings etc etc. Those super high rise building are purely build for prestige reasons.
POLAND MOUNTAIN 🏔🇵🇱
The antenna doesn't count.
Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat says it does, as it is a spire not an antenna like on the Commerzbank tower.
True .... like One WTC in NYC ..... 541 meters (1776 feet) ..... wtf ??
Antenna is not skyscrsper .....Freedom Tower is 417 m.tall !!!
That antenna is a cu...nt.
No ugly Skyscraper for Europe
Is it a computer artificial voice? Sounds terribly….
Not that impressive because of that 80 metre antenna
There is the Skyscraper FourFrankfurt higher with a total height of 233m without a 80m Antenna, which doesn't count to a total height !!!
The amount of jealous germans here is just insane.
Why would Germans be jealous of this skyscraper 😂
Varso Tower is a scam, ugly and will be soon topped by a new skyscraper in Frankfurt - real height 288 metres (no antenna).
Big antenne

It is biggest vertical dic...k.

Omg , Poland so powerfull and modern OMG
it was never thought to be a place for skyscrapers? Warsaw had the tallest building in europe for like 40 years i think when the finished the palace of culture, one of the same size in Moscow
rekord należy w tym roku do węgla .
Tbh I think warsaws skyline is a bit eh
So why are the half a million polaks in Ireland then, and more in England, if Poland is such a great place...
YOU CANT BE SERIOUS
It is a total lie and sick begging for appreciation. The height of the building is 230 metres up to the roof plus 80 metre antenna (or something). If next year they put a 500 metre aerial on the roof, will you write that Varso Tower is the highest building in the world?
I still believe that getting cities wider is better than making them taller. All the connections still happen on the single level. Underground travel would be great, but it will never be financially viable. Without it the city will suffer never ending traffic jams.
No, no, no for hundred times. Thanks to that Warsaw only will become big conglomeration of villages instead of becoming dense and true European citry.
Making cities wider rather than taller sucks.
Tall buildings mean everything is closer and you have more space for everything else
Instead of building two malls, hotel and few like 4 stories high offices all next to each other - fit all that into single skyscraper and use space you saved for small park. Spreading buildings like that all only wastes space
And after packing them together city becomes more compact and looks better
Only 230 meters tall, with 80 meters antenna.
