Source-derived summary

MRT Center is a modern-era high rise building in Skopje, North Macedonia. At 70 m (230 ft) high, it was the tallest building in the country from its completion until the taller 130 m (427 ft) Sky City Sky Scrapers project was built in 2015. Constructed in 1984, the MRT Center is completely owned by Macedonian Radio Television, as its headquarters.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “MRT Center” as building in Krnjevo neighborhood, Skopje, Macedonia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA valuable geographic starting point for tracing changing names, boundaries, uses and administrative responsibility. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2015, 1984—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1984. The account is most persuasive where Center, building and Krnjevo can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as building in Krnjevo neighborhood, Skopje, Macedonia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q2045516. Authority coordinates are 41.997, 21.445. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2015 and 1984.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
