The Avaz Twist Tower to hold record as tallest tower
in the Balkans
The new Avaz Twist Tower is going up in Marijin Dvor, Sarajevo’s (Bosnia and Herzegovina) business district, which has recently seen extensive renovation, including plans for the Unitic 3 and Grand Media Center. Construction on the new tower, designed by architect Faruk Kapidžić, began in 2006 and is expected to be completed some time this year. The Avaz Twist Tower will hold the honour of being the tallest tower in the Balkans, as well as representing one of the more interesting in Europe. This contemporary curiosity is composed of a twisting glass facade rising 142 meters with a 30-meter antenna reaching a total height of 172 meters over 41 stories.
