DRFG has reached an agreement with the owner of the land, The Galata Group, which has been preparing this project for several years.

The Ister Tower is to be built at the busy intersection of Košická – Prístavná – Landererova streets in the new Bratislava downtown. The developer is considering building five hundred housing units and will not target only the rich.
