History
=Architecture=
The building is located in the Polus City Center complex and its total height is 85m above ground level. It has 21 above-ground floors with administration and one underground floor serving parking for up to 300 vehicles. The administrative building is constructed as a functionally independent object. It is intended for rent of 22,600 m2 of modern and high-quality office space. The main supporting system of the building is formed by a reinforced concrete core located approximately in the center of the building. Five high-speed elevators with a load capacity of 1,800 kg, stairs and sanitary facilities of the building are located inside the core.{{cite web|url=https://index.sme.sk/c/541377/millenium-tower-ii-ma-byt-najkrajsia-budova-v-bratislave.html|title=Millenium Tower II má byť najkrajšia budova v Bratislave|work=index.sme.sk|publisher=SME Index|language=sk|date=May 13, 2002|access-date=September 22, 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://www.universaloffices.sk/kancelarsky-priestor/polus-tower-ii|title=Polus Tower II (myhive Polus II) Business Center|work=universaloffices.sk|publisher=Universal Offices|access-date=September 22, 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://www.officefinder.sk/news/travel-agency-kartago-tour-moved-to-polus-tower-ii/|title=Travel agency Kartago Tour moved to Polus Tower II|work=officefinder.sk|publisher=Office Finder|access-date=September 22, 2024}}
Flexible interiors were introduced in both buildings to meet the ever-changing demands of clients MillTower 1-2 Bratislava.
Since the subsoil of the building consists of sandy clays, and clay gravels and the groundwater level is approximately -6.0 m below ground level, the structure is assembled on a symmetrically loaded base plate of 2.1 m thickness lying directly on the subsoil and a base plate of 0.6 m thickness lying on a compressible base that behaves like a bracket. The increase in the bearing capacity of the subsoil was ensured by the implementation of gravel piles.{{cite web|url=https://www.bratislavskenoviny.sk/vystavba/7432-hruba-stavba-millennium-tower-ii-uz-stoji|title=Hrubá stavba Millennium Tower II už stojí|work=bratislavskenoviny.sk|publisher=Brasitlavske Noviny|language=sk|date=December 13, 2006|access-date=September 22, 2024}}
