In the initial stages of planning V Tower (even before ECM Real Estate Investments went bankrupt) there were concerns over whether or not the building would be approved.
Prague locals objected to the further construction of high-rises and started a campaign in an attempt to prevent the towers from being built.
This campaign was picked up by experts from UNESCO World Heritage Committee, who were also worried that the "skyscrapers" would destroy Prague’s historical and unique skyline.
UNESCO objected to the heights of the buildings which were proposed to be erected in such close proximity to Prague’s historical centre.
They required one of the proposed buildings be reduced to a maximum height of 70 metres as they feared any higher could be detrimental to Prague’s tourist industry.
The result of this decision was that the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic reviewed their decision to construct the buildings.
The plans for the buildings had to be revised due to this in order to try and resolve the issue.
When development was taken over by Aceur Investments, there were no new concerns raised over the new construction plans, and V Tower has been allowed to go ahead as planned.
