Design and construction

edit

The building was designed by Arkhitekturna Spilka and the studio of Serhiy Babushkin, who also conceived the Kyiv skyscrapers Parus Business Centre and Gulliver.

The tower has been criticized for its adverse effect on the panorama of Kyiv Pechersk Lavra which is a protected UNESCO heritage site.[2]
