Construction of a skyscraper
Slovakia has a new tallest residential building: the 168-metre skyscraper Eurovea Tower. Construction of the tower on the Danube embankment, which was built by the developer J&T Real Estate, was interesting from both a real estate and legal point of view.
The Relevans law firm has begun collaboration with the developer on its construction in 2019. This co-operation did not only include the high-rise building itself, but also other parts - another apartment building, extension of the shopping mall, and office spaces - of what is known as Eurovea 2.
