Cosmopolitan Twarda 2/4, formerly known as Twarda Tower or Hines Tower, is a mainly residential skyscraper (160 meters high, 44 storeys)[1] currently under construction in central Warsaw, Poland. The project is being developed by Tacit Development Polska.

The tower will include 252 apartments[2] ranging from 52 to 350 square metres, with a net total area of above-ground floors of as much as 32,000 square metres. Four penthouses are planned to be situated on the top floor[3]. Its ground floor along Twarda Street is to provide commercial space for shops and services and its underground part has been designed to accommodate a 300-vehicle car park.

The first plans of building developed on this plot were revealed in 2006 when Foundation Shalom appointed leading Polish architect Stefan Kuryłowicz to design a tower. Soon after the Foundation was forced through lack of funds to sell the plot to Tacit Development. A new design was prepared by German architect Helmut Jahn. Up to 2011 Hines was the developer of the scheme, but Tacit, the investor behind the scheme, has now taken it over.

Wnen completed, Cosmopolitan Twarda 2/4 will be the second tallest residential building in Warsaw (after Złota 44), and third in Poland (after Sky Tower in Wrocław and Złota 44).
