The skyscraper seen from the west in 2008

The Łucka City is a 112 meter high-rise apartment building in Warsaw city district Wola . It is located at Ulica Łucka 13/15 , with its 30 floors above ground it is one of the tallest residential buildings in Poland and was built between 2000 and 2004 by the developer JWConstruction Holding SA . The architects were Maria Berko-Sas and Marek Sedzierski.

The property includes 342 apartments with a size between 37 and 243 square meters. Three underground floors offer parking spaces, and another five floors contain office space and service facilities. Six high-speed lifts, a swimming pool with a gym and several viewing terraces are available to residents. A logo of the developer is on the roof, another was visible on the south side until 2008 - until the lower Prosta Tower (an office building based on a project by Stefan Kuryłowicz ) was added to this.

The building's block-like architecture is highly controversial, it is seen as one of the ugliest skyscrapers in Warsaw. Above all, the massiveness, the lack of lightness and filigree and the white color scheme are criticized.
