The Gothenburg City Gate is an office skyscraper in the Gårda District of Gothenburg, Sweden. Built between 2019 and 2022, the tower stands at 144 m (472 ft) tall with 36 floors and is the third tallest building in Sweden as well as the tallest office building in Scandinavia.[2]
It was completed in 2022 and became the tallest office building in the Nordic region with 36 floors standing at 144 meters tall.[3][4] In addition to office space, there is a restaurant, café, co-working spaces, gym, bicycle hotel and garage.[5] The architectural offices are the Danish firm Henning Larsen Architects and Kanozi Arkitekter.[6]
The tower was built on the plot of a former gas station. Its position within Gothenburg gave it the namesake of a city gate, guiding circulation of the E6 and E20 highways entering the town. It is also certified according to WELL and environmentally certified according to LEED.[7]
The building is located in the Gårda business district and was designed as a hub for activity and visual anchor for a fast-developing neighbourhood embedded part of the city. The plaza from the building's ground level was designed as a shield against the harsh wind conditions in the cold months.[8]
