Facts and practical information

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 tallest building on the island, surpassing the 98m Portomaso Business 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. The project is currently on hold and no development has taken place on site for years. ()
