Overview

Situated in a prime location at the bank of the Sava River, Kula Belgrade will offer a waterfront lifestyle. Intended as a "new symbol of the Serbian capital," the developers aimed to integrate Belgrade's traditional architecture in a modern development. The tower will have a direct approach to a waterfront promenade, located in close proximity to Belgrade Fortress. It will be connected with the old city through a public plaza.[4]

The architects were inspired by the nearby river when planning the exterior appearance. Aside from the Avala telecommunications tower, this will be the tallest structure in Belgrade, including a 190-room hotel in the first nine floors, and 220 luxury apartments in floors 14 through 39.[5] St. Regis hotel guests and residents of the apartments will have access to a swimming pool, gym, a relaxation lounge and an observation deck at the top of the tower.[6]
