Warsaw Spire
Warsaw's third-tallest tower wears a rooftop neon reading "Kocham Warszawę" — I love Warsaw — placed there permanently when the building opened in 2016.

A 220-metre hyperboloid glass tower in the Wola district, built by Belgian developer Ghelamco and designed by Jaspers-Eyers Architects. The complex surrounds a public plaza with green areas and water elements at street level — rare breathing room in a commercial district. Warsaw Spire B also serves as the European headquarters of FRONTEX, the EU's border and coast guard agency, giving this sleek corporate address an unexpectedly geopolitical edge.
What to look for
- The curved hyperboloid glass façade of the main tower — no flat panes, the whole surface bows outward
- The "Kocham Warszawę" neon sign near the crown, created by Belgian lighting studio Painting with Light
- The open plaza between the three buildings, with water elements at the base of the towers
The plaza surrounding the complex is publicly accessible; the two 55-metre auxiliary towers (B and C) frame the main spire on either side.
