Metropolis Towers

Malta

The 1019th tallest building in the world

m

The M-towers, also known as the Metropolis Towers, are three towers that are proposed between triq d'Argens and triq Testaferrata within the limits of Msida, Malta, though often mentioned at Gżira and commonly known as the "Testaferrata site". The tallest of the three towers, at 33 stories, would become the second tallest building on the island, only behind the Mercury Tower. The towers would form part of a larger project, Metropolis Plaza, to include a plaza, shops and restaurants. The building is set to affect the skyline of Valletta and the Grand Harbour. The Gzira Local Council did not object to the project. Until early 2023, the project was on hold and no development had taken place on site for years. However, works on the site resumed in February 2023.
