West Athens Towers is a future multifunctional complex of skyscrapers in Athens, not far from Acropolis. The official opening ceremony of this project is scheduled in 2020. As of 2006, Tower 1 was designated as the tallest building ever envisaged for Athens and Greece. Towers 1 and 2 will have a modern shopping center, provided with 3 lifts and multicolored fountains. Tower 1 includes also an observation deck, situated at a height of 165 m. The proposal for the WAT came as an entry to an architectural competition, finally gained by Manolis Anastasakis. The complex includes three towers interconnected with skybridges whose height data are as follows:

  • Tower 1: structural height: 200 m, highest accessible point: 165 m;
  • Tower 2: structural height: 160 m, highest accessible point: 125 m;
  • Tower 3: structural height: 130 m, highest accessible point: 100 m.
