The skyscraper was designed by architects Tadeusz Spychała, Wojciech Popławski, and Willibald Furst, from the architecture firm Spychała & Partnerzy. It was originally envisioned as a hotel and referred to during the design process as the Les Tours Business Research Center. During its construction, it was bought by the insurance company
Powszechny Zakład Ubezpieczeń (PZU), to become its office headquarters, under the name PZU Tower. The building was constructed in place of the Main Building of the Jewish Religious Community, originally opened around 1892, and demolished in the 1950s. It housed the headquarters of the
Judaist community in the city. The building was fitted with a glass elevation installed on top of its proper
façade with windows, to aid in heat isolation. In 2006, some of the glass panels became loose, posing a risk of falling out. To protect the pedestrians, the building was surrounded with a temporary wooden protective structure. The glass elevation was ultimately removed in 2010. During its construction, it was also planed to install a large
jumbotron screen on its side, however, it was cancel as its mounting gathered large quantities of snow during winter. In 2023, the company submitted an application to the municipal government, to determent the conditions for the reconstruction and extension of the skyscraper, consisting of the demolition of the existing building and replacing it with a new, higher building. == Characteristics ==
