The buildings height is not actually 115 meters, as the name suggests, it is only 104 meters tall if measured from base-to-roof. However, the height added by the rooftop antenna brings the building to 115 meters. This is the reason that sometimes Tower 115 is incorrectly regarded as the tallest building in Bratislava. The title of the tallest building truly goes to the headquarters of the National Bank of Slovakia (111.6 m).
