Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) won the competition to design what will be the tallest building in Scandinavia: Polstjärnan (the Polestar Tower) in Gothenburg, Sweden, will top out at just under 755 feet tall.
SOM is working with Copenhagen, Denmark-based firm Entasis and consulting group COWI. An observation deck will top the residential tower, which will also include a public restaurant. The project also involves a master plan for a 1.5 million square foot mixed-use surrounding neighborhood. The tower is expected to be completed by 2019.
