The roundabout at the junction of Prosta, Towarowa, Kasprzaka and Okopowa streets in Wola was for decades surrounded by industrial plots, low office blocks and the RSW press complex. Since the opening of the Rondo Daszyńskiego metro station in 2015 the area has become Warsaw's second high-rise business district, with Warsaw Spire (2016), Generation Park, The Warsaw HUB and Skyliner rising around the junction.
