The Warsaw Spire is a complex of Neomodern office buildings in Warsaw, Poland constructed by the Belgian real estate developer Ghelamco. It consists of a 220-metre main tower with a hyperboloid glass facade, Warsaw Spire A, and two 55-metre auxiliary buildings, Warsaw Spire B and C.^[1]

In December 2014, a large neon sign with the words "Kocham Warszawę" ("I love Warsaw") was placed on the upper floors of the partially constructed main tower.^[2] The building was topped out in April 2015.^[3] The neon sign was removed in early July 2015 due to progress in façade assembly.^[4]

The main tower is the second tallest building in Warsaw and Poland.
