Atlas Tower
Atlas Tower

Atlas Tower (formerly Millennium Plaza and Reform Plaza) is a skyscraper in Warsaw located at Artur Zawisza Square on the western part of Aleje Jerozolimskie. The building was designed and built by the controversial Turkish architect and businessman Vahap Toy. The building was completed in 1999, after the expulsion of Vahap Toy from Poland and the termination of his business interests in the country. First called Reform Plaza after the Turkish firm, Reform Company Ltd., that financed the US$45 million project, the building changed owners and was renamed. The facility is 116 meters high, has 31 floors, of which three are below ground. The two lowest levels house a car park for 436 vehicles and utility facilities, the next four floors are retail, while the fifth is occupied by restaurants. The sixth floor contains conference facilities and can be combined into one large conference room. Language exams organized by the British Council are held in this area. The remainder of the floors are Class A offices which also include the Embassy of Mexico to Poland. Two panoramic elevators serve the commercial area, and six serve the office tower. The entire building is equipped with a BMS system. Until March 2008, the Millennium Plaza served as the headquarters of Bank Millennium, from which it derived its previous name. Other well-known tenants included the Publishing and Advertising Agency On (publisher of the weekly Wprost), Dell, and ABG S.A., a publicly listed IT company. Residents of Warsaw sometimes nickname the building "Toi-Toi", after a brand of portable toilets. Most likely, this term is a combination of the names of the first owner, the peculiar design of the skyscraper, and its similar coloration.

Artur Zawisza Square, Warsaw

Artur Zawisza Square (Polish: plac Artura Zawiszy, commonly abbreviated as "plac Zawiszy") is a public square in Warsaw's borough of Ochota. It is named after Artur Zawisza, a 19th-century Polish revolutionary who was executed on the spot by Russians in 1833. Currently a major roundabout at the intersection of Jerusalem Avenue, Raszyńska, Grójecka and Towarowa Streets, for centuries its spot was occupied by the so-called Jerusalem Toll-house or Jerusalem Gate (Polish: Rogatki Jerozolimskie). The Jerusalem Toll-house was created in 1770, as a toll-house on the road leading from down-town Warsaw towards the jurydyka of Nowa Jerozolima ("New Jerusalem") and the Kraków Road (modern Grójecka Street). The spot was chosen for a gate in the newly erected Lubomirski's Ramparts. Between 1816 and 1818 two Classicist buildings of the toll-house were built by Jakub Kubicki. In 1823 a square was created surrounding the new toll-houses. The area, in the 19th century still far-removed from the city centre, was a spot of particularly heavy fighting during the battle of Warsaw of 1831. When the fortifications surrounding Warsaw were dismantled, in the 1870s the area started to be built-up and settled, initially with wooden suburban houses around the square, but even before World War I the area was being encroached upon by the dense city infrastructure. In 1909 a tramway line was connected to the square. During World War II, in 1942 the 19th century toll-houses were dismantled by the Germans, while the buildings surrounding the square were demolished in the aftermath of the Warsaw Uprising. They were not rebuilt after the war, and the square was surrounded by new office buildings and shopping malls only recently. Among notable buildings located at Zawisza Square are the Millennium Plaza and Warszawa Ochota railway station.
