Stalexport Skyscrapers

The Stalexport skyscrapers are twin skyscrapers (Tower A and Tower B) located in Katowice, Silesia, Poland. The buildings share a three-story base. They were designed by Yugoslavian architect Georg Gruićić in the late 1970s and finished in 1981 and 1982, respectively.[1]

When built, they were the tallest buildings in Poland, outside the capital, Warsaw.[2] They were designed to accommodate 1800 people.[2] The towers were originally used by the Centre for Foreign Trade.[1]

The total floor area is 27,183 m². They now contain over 700 offices.
