The Spektrum Tower (formerly TP S.A. Tower) is a

Telekomunikacja Polska S.A.
(TP S.A.), with some space being leased to other companies.

The building of the tower was initially contracted to PIA Piasecki S.A. on 1 August 1997, originally due to be completed 30 June 2002. In 2002, however, the contractor was found unable to complete the structure due to strained financial standing, and the investor turned to PORR Polska S.A. (who has completed a number of other office buildings and towers in Warsaw) to finish the construction. The Tower was finally completed in December 2003. The Tower was built using the "top-down" technology, with both the over- and underground parts of the structure being constructed simultaneously. During the excavation for the

artillery shell
from World War II was discovered 8 metres below ground level.

The Tower was designed by architects from Apar-Projekt and Arca A&C bureaus, and consists of a composition of

cylinders and cuboids
. The structural design was the responsibility of TMJ Tomasz Ziętała. The Tower has 30 overground and 5 underground floors, extending 16.5 metres below ground level and rising to 128 metres above ground. The building comprises almost 50,000 m2 of space, over 41,000 of which is usable.

Unique features of the building include the

systems.

In July 2008 it was sold to Danish investment fund Baltic Property Trust Optima which sold it in 2012 to a London-based Europa Capital LLP fund[2]
