Some towers are not just built; they grow. They fuse with the city and the people who live, work, and flock there. And the cleanest towers don’t age; they mature. They withstand wind and reign, but they do not stand still. They are at the service of the people with their changing fashions. The tower accommodates itself, affably and tirelessly as ever; as our trusted companion. As the days thunder by, the tower remains a special landmark, transcending our unstoppable desire for eternity. Our dreams find a home there, and a future, every time.
Steadfast and storm-proof, this KBC tower became a bank forward for the city and its people. Yes, a unique energy flows through its truss: this tower, grown into a signboard, also allows others to grow. That is the invisible beauty of this Grande Dame that we now want to share with everyone. The tower as a focal point and starting point. A new playing field, a flourishing roof garden, an unexplored source of wonder. Our tower is back, showing the way again and displaying what the Radiant City stands for: Farmer’s Tower, daring to dream.
