Excerpt from Wikipedia
Roche Tower (German:Roche-Turm) is a skyscraper in the Swiss city of Basel. At 178 metres, it is the tallest building in the country.
The building, also known as "Building 1" (German:Bau 1), was financed by pharmaceutical company Hoffmann-La Roche and designed by Herzog & de Meuron. It cost 550 million Swiss francs to build. The entire construction ensemble, including a planned 205-metre "Building 2" research facility, is expected to cost three billion francs in total.
When finished on 18 September 2015, Roche Tower overtook Prime Tower in Zürich as Switzerland's tallest building, the latter having held the record for four years. Strict planning laws mean there are few skyscrapers in the country.
