The Libeskind Tower in Milan's CityLife district was designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind. It houses the Milan offices of PricewaterhouseCoopers. The article names no client. Construction began in 2016, and the text says completed in 2020, though the infobox lists opening in 2021. The article calls the style modern.

The tower is 175 meters (574 feet) tall with 28 floors and about 76,000 square meters (818,000 square feet) of floor area. A sustainable glass facade reflects the surrounding public space. The design reinterprets the Renaissance cupola through a concave elevation that ends in a 40-meter crown. The curve slopes toward the nearby Isozaki and Hadid towers and Piazza Tre Torri.

The crown holds maintenance, air conditioning and rainwater recycling systems. It also serves as a public viewing platform and art gallery.
