Mostly, historic, beautiful buildings are replaced by modern, ugly concrete constructions. There are glorious exceptions as in the case of the building being the seat of the Ministry of Finance. His victim was a beautiful, over a hundred-year old tenement house that had to give way to the skyscraper that is today, together with the Guillemans station, a great example of modern architecture.ofiarą

95 million Euro construction cost
118 height meters
27 floors
These two buildings are an example that contemporary architecture, thanks to its beauty, can add glamor to the city. The Guillemans station is already considered the most beautiful, next to the station in Antwerp, in Belgium, maybe this skyscraper will also be awe-inspiring. May it be possible to build such great structures in the future, but without destructionofiarhistorical buildings.
Interestingly, the building is not owned by the Ministry of Finance. It only rents offices from a private investor (Fedimmo Company) for a period of 25 years. After this time, the Ministry will have the right of first refusal. The whole project is the work of the Jasper & Eyers Architecture architectural office in cooperation with Greisch. Paradis Tower is the tallest building in all of Wallonia.
