The tower is 82 meters high (excluding antennae), has 27 floors, and its façade is covered with blue tiles. The building's architects were Thorsten Roos and Kurt Hultin. It is a residential building with a large shopping mall on the ground floor. This building has a view over Malmö and the Öresund strait towards Copenhagen. Kronprinsen is located at the crossing of two major streets in Malmö; Mariedalsvägen and Regementsgatan. On the other side of Regementsgatan is the park, Slottsparken. The complex is called Kronprinsen because there were barracks of the royal regiment at its location.
Kronprinsen was the first high-rise in Sweden upon completion in 1964. It was also the tallest building in Malmö for just over four decades before the Turning Torso was completed in August 2005.
