Plac Unii (Polish pronunciation: [ˈplat͡s ˈuɲ.ji]; lit. 'Union Square') is a skyscraper in Warsaw, Poland, located at 2 Puławska Street, next to the Union of Lublin Square. It operates as an office building and a shopping centre. It was opened in 2013 and is 22 storeys tall, with a total height of 90 m.
Plac Unii was constructed in place of the Supersam store, which was deconstructed in 2006. The building, opened in 1962, was the first supermarket in Poland and was considered a notable example of modern architecture in Poland.[1] The Supersam store chain remained present in the new building until 2022.[2]
The building was developed by Liebrecht & wooD and BBI Development NFI, and designed by a team from the APA Kuryłowicz & Associates architecture firm, led by Stefan Kuryłowicz.[3][4] Its construction lasted from 2010 to 2013, with Warbud as the main contractor. It was officially opened on 12 October 2013.[5][6] In 2014, it was sold to Invesco Real Estate for 226 million euros.[7]
