Złota 44 is a residential skyscraper (192 meters high, 52 stories) in central Warsaw, Poland. It was designed by Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind, in association with Polish architects Artchitecture. It was developed by US real estate investment manager Amstar and Warsaw developer BBI Development, which bought the topped-out but unfinished building from its initial developer, ORCO. The building is sometimes referred to as Żagiel (meaning "sail" in Polish) although the skyscraper's architect drew inspiration for Złota 44 from the shape of an eagle's wing symbolizing changing Warsaw, Poland and freedom.
