In the
Edward Gierek decade in
Communist Poland, the
Naczelna Organizacja Techniczna NOT began the construction of the 92-metre high-rise building known as the NOT Tower in
Kraków. It was intended to provide a large amount of office space. The concrete shell was erected in 1975, but the building was never finished, because of economic constraints and political unrest leading to the imposition of
martial law in Poland in 1981. In time, due to the unfinished (and blackening) building's resemblance to a skeleton, it was nicknamed "
Szkieletor" by the people of Kraków after
Skeletor, the arch-villain in
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, a cartoon popular in Poland at that time. The "NOT Tower" has since 2005 been owned by TreiMorfa Project, who have expressed interest in renovating it. has been rejected by the Magistrate after further inspections, due to its structural stability. The construction finally resumed in 2016 and the construction work of the
Unity Tower was completed on 30 September 2020. ==References==
