History
Architecture
The construction of the building was mostly completed in 1984 after two years of work. In time, the landmark has gradually undergone various modernizations. Between the years 2004 and 2006, extensive reconstruction and modernization of the building took place. Its external appearance was also changed alongside the building's proper name to the present form of Tower 115.[5][6]
The roof height of the building is 104 metres (341 ft). In 2006, a transmitter antenna was placed on the roof, aspect which raised the total height of the building to 115 metres (377 ft), hence the name of the tower.[7]
Renovation
The building was reinaugurated in 2008 when it was included in the Eurovea City project.[8] The building was renovated by J&T REAL ESTATE under an investment loan of € 44 million arranged by the General Loan Bank. In the present days, the building is owned by CEETA Company.[9] Since 2006, JTRE continuously modernized the internal equipment in the building in order to keep up with the norms of CO2 emissions. The tower's annual electricity consumption is 4.7 gigawatt-hours (GWh).[10]
