History
Construction of the building (previously known as Navimor and Prorem) started in 1975 and concluded in 1980. It was renovated from 1998 to 2000. With a height of 80 metres (260 ft), it was the tallest building in Gdańsk before it was surpassed by Centrum Biurowe Neptun in 2014. In March 1981, a man named Radek Cieśluk successfully jumped from the building with a hang glider. A proposal was put forward in 2013 to construct a building on Organika Trade's site at a height of 200 metres (660 ft), but was ultimately rejected in 2015. The skyscraper stands to this day, and a nearby apartment building development was put up there instead.
