Description
The Nivy Tower is part of a large modern business center in the heart of Bratislava. The design for the Nivy Tower comes from the British architectural firm BENOY and the Slovakian studio Siebert + Talaŝ, who have also collaborated on the concept for the new Stanica Nivy quarter. With a five-storey shopping center, a modern market hall with a fresh market and office space in the Nivy Tower, the quarter offers almost 75,000 m² of retail space and more than 30,000 m² of office space. The international bus station is an important transport hub for up to 20,000 people a day.
With a height of 125 meters and 29 floors, the Nivy Tower is currently the tallest building in the city. From its roof restaurant you have a breathtaking view over the city center and the Danube. The
office and commercial areas complement each other with further high-quality service and leisure facilities, also in the neighborhood. Urban development and architecture set completely new standards here.
As the first building in Slovakia, the Nivy Tower was certified with BREEAM and WELL. The glass facade covers an area of 19,000 m² and has two different views, using premium glass from Saint-Gobain Building Glass: CLIMATOP COOL-LITE XTREME 70/33 II, CLIMATOP COOL-LITE SKN 176 II and ECLAZ ONE. These insulating glasses offer highly efficient solar protection. A new low-E coating technology enables very high daylight input with thermal resistance - in summer and winter.
