- Cracovia Business Center - const started in 70's, modernized in 90's. Hight: 105 meters
- 'Skeletor'
The official name of this building was NOT, but people in Krakow call it "Szkieletor" (Skeletor). The construction started in 1975 but was abandoned in 1979 because of the economic crisis.
A change however is in the making. Verity Development won the tender for the building and since then Verity have begun planning Skeletor?s resurrection. The concept being to renovate the existing tower, whose structure is architecturally sound, and to add two new wings on either side of the skyscraper.
It is hoped that it will be completed by 2012, in time for the European Championships.
