Talk:Boerentoren

First skyscraper in Continental Europe

Sorry but the first Skycraper of in Europe is the Telefonica Building in Madrid, Spain, finished in the 1929 year —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdepazos (talk • contribs) 15:52, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

It depends on the criteria. The Boerentoren is based on the American examples and therefore considered to be the first skyscraper in Europe whereas the Spanish example is more a high building (like the Liver Building in Liverpool).

The current sentence seems OK to me. ' It is often considered to be the first skyscraper in Europe' which is no lie. --Wester (talk) 14:29, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

The Kungstornen in Stockholm was built before both this building and the Telefonica Building.

Boerentoren taller than Telefónica

According to this article and the Telefónica Building, it says that the Boerentoren was the second tallest until 1940 but if I'm not mistaken, the Boerentoren height is 95.8 m to the roof while the Telefónica is 89 m. Wouldn't this make the Boerentoren the highest between 1929 and 1940? Amebrahtu1997 (talk) 16:21, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
