Berlin - The plan dates from 1993. Twenty-eight years ago, architect Hans Kollhoff won the urban planning competition for Alexanderplatz with the idea of building around a dozen high-rises at the square in Mitte. Each one was to be 150m high and they were to form a city crown . For a long time, nothing happened because no one saw a need for new towers on Alex. It wasn t until 2019 that the Russian investment group Monarch began construction work on the first tower.
