(for the entire metro area)
Time for this isn't it?
:D

Let's start it of with the on-hold plans for Kista Residence Tower:
128.4m tall
125.2m top floor
42 floors "above ground"
4 floors "below ground"
300 1&2 room apartments
indoor connection to Kista Galleria (one of the largest indoor malls in Sweden) which has a subway station on top.

white tower = latest plans (from last year)

some good .pdf:s from the City of Stockholm website (renderings/maps/plans, no boring text documents these:)): pdf 1 (http://www.stockholm.se/files/37600-37699/file_37680.pdf), pdf 2 (http://www.stockholm.se/files/37600-37699/file_37667.pdf), pdf 3 (http://www.stockholm.se/files/37600-37699/file_37668.pdf), pdf 4 (http://www.stockholm.se/files/37600-37699/file_37669.pdf)

Very nice projects going on in Sthlm !!!!!! Gustav when are u coming over the pond to meet us ?

so is this finally approved for Stockholm? Coz we've lost all our éspoirs about it quite a time ago...

That's a great tower... please build it!

What about the other projects in Sthlm?

Kista Residential Tower looks great, i hope they decide to built it then ;). Wasn't it supose to start construction this year?

Is it okay if I continue this thread Gustav? ;)

I've made a thread about this before, the threefloor-addition to Skatteskrapan a.k.a. Studentskrapan. The three floors will consist hotel-rooms. The plan also includes new apartmentbuildings (low-rises :(), a hotel and addings to the already existing Åsö-school located next to Skatteskrapan. Renderings:

yeee haaaaaa! finaly a sthlm thread :) that is good, goodie very goodie, there is like sjit loads of low / medium rise projects in stockholm atm, i like the new houses in lilla esingen very modern gree and futuristic

My aunt works in Kista :D

^An I live there! It's a small world :)

@dw - ooh, I'm saving up for my november NYC trip right now (just got a 11% raise btw :) so I'll spend some time today figureing out how much I'm earning now:)) so probably not any time soon :(

@Porn* - It's got everything but the final construstion permits (e.g. afaik all the people who have to weigh in have, like the fire department and such).
@Christian - Originally it was supposed to start right afte KST was done, so it's well over a year late by now.
Both these issues have to do with a financier backing out. But the plans aren't scrapped. At least they weren't last time I was in contact with the architects (they do respond to e-mail sometimes, ya know:)), only on hold an' lookin' for money. It's still featured pretty prominently on their website (http://www.lindbergstenberg.se)

@AC5 - please do! the more the merrier!
btw - re: Skatte/Studentskrapan. I like the project from an architectural and urban point of view (been there many times, the area sucks) but from a money point of view it is horrible. The City will be loosing money on it forever or the so-called student housing will cost a fair bit more per month than maxed out student loans. IMO half should be turned into luxury appartments to pay for the rest.

tower looks great, remind me of ET a little...
mwuah couldnt miss noticeing how Swede answered to pornstar...@porn :D heh...

^but which was first? plans take a loong time to berealized in Sweden :)
hmm.. yah, "@porn*" could be improved upon. more net-speak sgould be in there :) "@pr0n*" better, no? :D
----------------------

Time for another project :)

Kistaport
http://www.fabege.se/sitetemplates/sitePage.aspx?id=6765
2x20 floors
1000 m^2 per floor (high-rise sections)
First parts (low-rise) done by (at earliest) 2007
http://www.fabege.se/files/1830/Kistaport_7s2.jpghttp://www.bas.stockholm.se/upload/kistaportdrott_2.jpeg
They'll be pretty far from KST/KRT (5-10 min walk) at the end of Torshamnsgatan (where it connects to the new E18 stretch comming soon).

Always a pleasure to see you active here, Swede. Sad to hear that you're not coming here, but seeing new pictures of KRT and those twin towers was very nice. Those .pdf files are really good, people, download them.

I will keep an eye on this thread. :)

^always good to be here, Ober. :)
------------------
One more Kistapdf (http://www.stockholm.se/files/61100-61199/file_61119.pdf), only thing that's really interesting is the rendering on page 1 (KRT at bottom left) but the whole thing has more plans for new low-rise areas in Kista.

the apartments in kista residence tower seems very small

Swede
It looks like, some kind a "remake" of Europa Complex, I think I'll call it "Europa Complex, version 2"

AFAIK plans for Kista have existed long before NCC. ;)

Enlighten us, oh Viking mod! When was the first time when someone uttered the words "Let's make Kista into a skyscraper cluster"?

plans for Kista have existed long before NCC
heh now this sounds somewhat ironic doesn't it :)

actually ET design was first time presented back in 2002 so it's really possible Kista is older than that.

I think that when I heard about KST and KRT for the first time was in 2000 when I came across to Swede's high-rise website, which made me look for more info about Finnish high-rises. :D

Projects in Nordic countries proceed slowly, you all should know that. :)

@Christian - Originally it was supposed to start right afte KST was done, so it's well over a year late by now.

Thanx, so i guess its still a year or two intill we'll see any construction of the tower if they finally decide to built the tower. :)

the apartments in kista residence tower seems very small

The problem in most larger cities, as i suspect is the problem i stockholm, is not a lack of big apartments. You can always find that, if you have the money. The need is for small, afordable, well planed aprtments, mostly for singles...Thats whats most cities dont have enough off. Therefore the size of these apartments are just perfect i imagine...

Now time for
Liljeholmskajen
4x20 floors
Two are part of stage 1 of Liljeholmskajen, which is now u/c.

Kajen 4, by Wingårdhs (http://www.wingardhs.se) (also designed Scandinavian Tower). 80 appartments in tower, 210ish in the entire block.
21s & 62.5m tall
http://www.wingardhs.se/images/projects/sjovikskajen_punkthus/sjovik_fasad_3d.jpg

Kajen 5, by ÅWL Arkitekter (http://www.awlark.se/). 200 sppartments in the whole block, completed by 2007.
20s & 62.6m tall

Again, a few pdfs of interest (all in Swedish, but plenty of pics and Swedish ain't all that hard, at least for the Scandinavians:))

yellow = the then plans (I think I see 1 bulding that actually got built)

Cool, where did you get the heights from? Btw - seen that you've updated Sthlm on Emporis, nice :okay:

I got the heights from crosschecking pdfs (5 min penalty!:D) showing the height of the tops of the buildings (69m) and subtracting where the entrance level will be.

yah, I've updated it a bit (plus it's a handy way to save all those stats:))

The problem in most larger cities, as i suspect is the problem i stockholm, is not a lack of big apartments. You can always find that, if you have the money. The need is for small, afordable, well planed aprtments, mostly for singles...Thats whats most cities dont have enough off. Therefore the size of these apartments are just perfect i imagine...


well i ment more like the apartments could have had 2 rooms and a kitchen hallway toilet instead of one room as most have i did not mean a 5 roomer or something :P

^2rooms+kitchen ain't small by Sthlm standards. A flat like that in the Inner City'll set you back 100-450k €. The ones in KRT are a pretty good size in my opinion, for a single guy/gal that's all you need.
--------------------------

Hammarby Entré
This is "just" a proposal, but I don't think I've seen any opposition to it when it's been in the press. It's located at the west end of Hammarby Sjöstad across the water from where Folksam is on Södermalm, so it's just outside the Inner City in an industrial area and next to the road/subway bridges into the City from the south. Thus the lack of opposition :)
94.5m
26 floors (2 u/g parking levels)
Start: 2004(!)
End: 2006
~20 000 m^2 of office space
Berg Arkitektkontor AB (http://www.bergark.se/aktuell/index2.html) are the architects and PEAB (http://www.peab.se/Bostader_lokaler/Lokaler_mark/Hammarby_Entre) are the devlopers.
http://www.bergark.se/aktuell/images/projekt/bilder/storbilder/hame4.jpg
http://www.bergark.se/aktuell/images/projekt/bilder/storbilder/hame3.jpg
As you can see it's really two towers (26 & 13) with a connecting 6 storey base.

Start 2004! Is it true? Sounds veeeery good :D

That's what it says on the devlopers website, can't find anything to confirm it but on the other hand can't find anything to contradict it either. Maybe an opportunity to go scope out what's happening :)

Okidoki, and btw, I've mailed Solna about some heights, and both Dallasskrapan and Solna Cityhall are 62,5 m tall (She gave me the wrong height before, 52 m, so the Cityhall has "grown" 10,5 m :D). Dallasskrapan has 16 floors and was built 1987, to Råsunda Stadium's 50 anniversary.

Hammarby Entré looks interesting. I suppose they want to make it a bit similar in shape to Folksamhuset.

Hmm, nice way to add some colors to it.. maybe :)

Good thread Swede! :)
Hammarby Entré projects looks cool, specially the facade. Also that Liljeholmskajen projects looks very interesting, it looks different than other modern residential areas.

Good weather today, nice n' clear. Should I head out with the digicam and check out Liljeholmskajen & Hammarby Entré? ;):D

Hej! Hi everybody.
First post for me about Sweden.
Just found this one, not really very high though
Pelaren (http://www.fabege.se/sitetemplates/sitePage.aspx?id=6586)

Just 14 floors, still it will ad some hight too the globen area, especially together with "Hammarby entré".

@Swede: It's best for you that you'll take some pics, we really wanna know what's going on there! :D

@Pelle: Välkommen hit! :wave: Hope you'll have a good time here :)

@Pelle: Välkommen hit! :wave: Hope you'll have a good time here :)

Thanks :)

Hej Pelle, e du 08a?

Pelaren is currently under construction (at least that's what it looked like), but acording to the latest pdfs about the project at the City's webiste they've lowered it slightly. so it's either 11 or 12 storeys tall "now". Sadly the pics in the pdfs are too grainy to make out the heights (you can see they're written on the original pivs, but too compressed...:()
Anyway here's the situation yesterday :)
http://w1.875.telia.com/~u87519939/20040820/20040820kvPelaren.JPG
tower will be from yellow/green skips to the asphalt I'm standing on

This is the Hammarby Entré site
http://w1.875.telia.com/~u87519939/20040820/20040820hammarbyentr%e9.JPG
as you can see no activity at all, and the road thru the site was actually in use. So I'm not sure what's up with that.

Liljeholmskajen
http://w1.875.telia.com/~u87519939/20040820/20040820kajen2.JPG
only Kajen 2 (low rise) is actually u/c. But the rest of phase 1 had been cleared of old buildings, so it should happen soon.

bonus pic:
http://w1.875.telia.com/~u87519939/20040820/20040820noparking.JPG
"No parking on the parkway"

Kajen project looks great, reminds me of the Jåttåvågen project in Stavanger.

hammar by entré seems like an interesting plan, i saw plants on this in the news paper like 2 yearso ago

Hi!
Right now I'm living in Gothenburg but my hometown is Stockholm - so I'll soon bee a 08:a again :)
Nice that Pelaren is UC, pitty they lowered the hight though. Anyway since its on a pretty tall point it will be seen anyway. How tall are the other houses in Globen City??

you be the judge... :)
http://w1.875.telia.com/~u87519939/20040820/20040820globencity3.JPG

but, yeah, it'll still be very visible. It's right by a sunken highway after all.

Not much but 10 floors at least! :D

53 apartments first phase, completed.

73 apartments second phase, constrution just begun, completion fall 2005.

Nice projects, Årstastråket looks most interesting, there it looks like they can develope wuite a low skyline with all those high-rise buildings. I guess they don't become as boxy as they are in the image anyway ;)

Yah, Årstastråket is a good area for densification (inner old suburbs, LRT), but sadly only lowrises planned :( Only the white ones are new, see. Those taller grey blocks are old commieblocks that are, in fact, grey! ;)

Yeah!!! Stockholm gets commieblocks ;)
Our current commieblock builders are much criticised about their too simple architecture and they respond: "Now Latvia is poor and we build simple architecture - so people can afford to buy it! Later, when we would be rich and purchasing power higher, the architecture would be more interesting!"

Yeah!!! Stockholm gets commieblocks ;)
Stockholm, as most cities, got loads of commieblock, but the scale of them and the quality is is usualy better, than for example ex-soviet :)
Man, I thought Lasnamä (Tallinn) was big and ugly - until I went to Russia for the first time, made it seems like a small well kept neighborhood!! :)

lasnamäe, yes.. it is big n ugly... im just glad they are renovating those commies.. :) adding some other facades, painting so on, makes it look a lot better! Gatis, i cant say its a commie there.. it is a nice residential house

Please update me if there are more projects in Redelvelopment project!... :)

i'm so FRIGGIN glad they are buildling out västra hungsholemn, but i wish they would make highrise instead, skyscrapers in the east close to down town, from the down town ou see scrapers from the scrapers you see down town,it would be extremely sexy views, if ig et rich i will tore these houses down and buikld scrapers lol

^yeah, the most dissapointing part of the current plan is that the towers on either side of where Essingeleden (E4 & E20) enter the island from the north aren't in it any more. Those would have been great, but nooooo that would be drawing too much attention to the interstate :( hopefully the ones where Essingeleden crosses over Lindhagensgatan (main street in the redelopment) will heppen.

If only those were 3-4 times as tall... :D
Not only would it be real cool, it'd be enough people to make sure more shops/resturants would actually be a possibility.

ok i diss that is is modern, in that area there shud be built in old style but it looks better then hötorget does in the skyline :), hammarby sjöstad looks nice, but as swede said iwish it was taller, more ppl would be fittet nearer to down town and because it went moredense more shots and resturants would thrive

http://www.ncc.se/UPLOAD/swe/property_development/framtida_projekt/kungsbron/kungsbron2_500.jpg
So they will change the roads west of N Bantorget also? Well, I gotta admit it's not perfect as it is, and it looks a little 'dead'.

As I undestand it, yes, they will hide the railtracks behind a row of buildings which will most likelly look somewhat like Kungsbron (i.e. kinda retro). I, for one, like that idea alot. It would add ,uch to the urban feel of the area, and the current situation there is way too run-down.

btw - I can see where my mom works in that pic :)

This office building is a part of Northern Hammarby Sjöstad, it has 10 floors tops. I pass this buliding everyday when going to school ( I am gonna take U/C pics soon) It also contains 113 apartments for senior rescidents. Completion fall 2005.

On sunday Skanska will start selling the first apartements in one of their new 18 floors :) houses on Lindhagengatan (there will be two of them, 162 apartements). Construction will propably start this winter.
No good renderings are avalible yet.
This is the only one I found:
http://www.nyahem.skanska.se/snh_ProjectImages/Events/mellan0/Parkväst_277x121.jpg

At last it seems that the hotel at Älvsjömässan will be realised!
Skanska got the order for the 18 (again! :) ) floor hotel.
Construction will begin in november and will be finished in in the end of 2006.

Wow, two 18 story-buildings to start construction this year, that's cool :)

Pretty traditional architecture, but still...

http://webfair2.stofair.se/uploaded/image/2004/10/1/hotell.jpg

i hope the construction trend in stockholm will keep on and maybe even get stronger, stockholm needs dome densifiacation

That redesign of the Älvsjö hotel isn't all that new (been thru the approval process already:)) but IMO it's extremely conventional. Not that the original one was all the incentive, but at least it had height.

@Pelle - where'd you get that info? all I can find at Skanska is how many flats and other info geared entirelly towards marketing (which in Sweden means no mention of heights:(). Also can't find any info on the city's website.

I only found the same info, the number of floors mention in a slightly different version and in their marketing in the press. I also searched at statsbyggnadskontorets web page but came up with nothing, however, since they started selling the apartements I quess it must be approved!(?)

Does anyone know if there is a detailed plan for "Västra City", for the new city blocks that are to be build over the train tracks by Stockholm Central Station. A quite big area, any high-rises perhaps? :)

And does anyone know anything about this? Is it yet to be approved?

Never heard of any of the big companies trying to sell the appartments before the projects've been approved. I guess I could fire of a couple of mails to SBK and Skanska... :)

@Sims - No real news about Västra City other than the canceled hotel and that Kungsbron project earlier in the thread. Other than that can't remember any actual "konreta" plans.
All I can remember about plans like the one for Stadsgården is that a high-rise suggested for about that place was the target of some serious hating by the people in the area (real nimbys, the lot of 'em!>()

Well, I myself must say that that Statsgården project didn't look very nice.
No wonder people didn't like it.
Off course we all are pro-skyscrapers but that doesn't mean that they should be built everywhere just. The location of that building was realy bad.
I would love to see that horrible road to Slussen go underground and that the area developed but it should be done really carefull.

No it's approved allright. The name is Gångaren 12. You can find it on Stadsbyggnadskontorets map.

Yeah I agree with you. I think that mountainside and it's buildings is something special and this proposal is too large and different in style.

I'll draw the Älvsjömässan Hotel. I read that the Rica Hotel chain will operate it!

Btw, does anyone have pictures of Hammarbytornet?

Hammarbytornet??
Is it this one?
http://www.peab.se/FS_PeabWeb/PublicImages/Lokaler/Hammarby_Entre.jpg
Hammarby entre (http://www.peab.se/Bostader_lokaler/Lokaler_mark/Hammarby_Entre)

Nope, Hammarbytornet is the tiny structure you see in the far left background, (atleast I'm pretty sure of it)
It's a telecom tower, and a quite ugly one I might add. It needs some sort renovation or renewal, wouldn't be too bad if it was to be done a bit like Londons BT tower (also telecom). :)

The reason I am asking is because Hammarbytornet needs to be drawn to the diagram, no matter if it is ugly or beautiful.
But the pic of Hammarby Entré was interesting, never seen it!

Sims is right, that's Hammarbytornet. iirc the same architect as Kaknästornet.

As for the Stadsgårds idea, I gotta say it ain't pretty. But most of the people in the area seem to be against it because it'll change things in their backyard, not due to actual esthetic, sociological or economic merits. In a word; nimbys. ;)
I'd love to see a more realistic proposal with more of an effort to blend in (usually I'm not really into that, but for this location it should be either just a glass curtain wall or well done similies of Old Town/Södermalm). Best of all would be if the whole thing wasn't one project; better to split it of into seperate parcels of differing widths. And why build a highrise there? It's faaar from any real mass transit and would need to super good architecture to not denegrate the whole area.
Why build anything at all in that cliff? The cliff isn't all that stable as you'd think.

Accually it is near mass transit it's like 400 m from slussen that's a 2-3 min walk maybe.

Slussen provides the Stockholm subway red and green line, buses to södermalm, gamla stan and inner stan, there is also two blue bus lines one that goes to sofia from norrtull and another from Södersjukhuset to Karolinska sjukhuset, you can also go to saltsjöbaden by taking the Saltsjöbanan from slussen. Saltsjöbanan and tvärbanan will soon connect and then you can go to Hammarbysjöstad, Gullmarsplan, Globen, Årsta, liljeholmen, Stora essingen and many more places. When the city tunneln will be completed you can also take the Commuter train, there are also buses that goes to Nacka and Värmdö. I guess Slussen is the largest commuting terminal after T-centralen. Or it will atleast be in a few years especially when the reconstrution of slussen is done.

Indeed.. though the commuter train, will not be passing by Slussen, the station will remain at "Södra Station" and on the other side of the tunnel, you will find the new station City (by sergelstorg instead of centralstationen). Atleast that is all I have heard since early summer. Anyway, I must agree with Swede, the idea about statsgårdskajen is not a favortite of mine, even though I'm usually pro-skyscrapers and that black rocky can really give you soar eyes. I dont think the heights of Söder should be cover behind a huge scrape. Though something needs to be done about that area. It's way to industrial too be in the heart of sthlm..

All I can remember about plans like the one for Stadsgården is that a high-rise suggested for about that place was the target of some serious hating by the people in the area (real nimbys, the lot of 'em!>()

I had *never* seen the proposal for Stadsgården before? What's its history? The monolith looks... well, just weird, like a megaversion of the kind of nondescript bulk of a building that are dominating the slumburbs and that makes made it so hard to get anything over seven floors built at all in Stockholm nowadays.

On a brighter note:
http://www.dn.se/content/1/c6/33/35/41/huset463.jpg

This 28-floor tower is pending approval, part of Southern Värtahamnen, in the North-East part of Stockholm and next to the Silja Line Terminal (as guidance for you Finns out there. ;) ) The somewhat lower twin towers (17f iirc) are already built - I've actually worked in one of them.

An article on this development is here (in Swedish):
http://www.dn.se/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1298&a=333541&previousRenderType=2

yeah, saw that in the paper today :) looking quite good..

JM has just updated their page on Liljeholmskajen.
Seems they will start selling the apartments in the first skyscraper (seems to be kajen 6) in autum 2005, construction typically starting 6 month after that.
You can also read that they will start selling apartments in kajen 7 spring 2012!!!!!! How can those guys look in to the future so exatly??? :)

I found on some website that the hotel at Älvsjömässan will be managed by Rica Hotels. This is my drawing of the new, lower design:

http://img92.exs.cx/img92/3872/Rica_Alvsjo_Hotel_Stockholm.gif

That 28-storey tower in Värtahamnen looks cool, and to guess of the rendering, it looks like 80-90 m tall (Scandic Ariadne next to it is 62 m tall) I say: Build! :)

Yeah, IMO that's pretty much an ideal spot for more high-rises. Fairly close to transit (Ropsten subway, busses into town, possible future LRT/tram) and the nimbys are easily dismissed (unlike in the Inner City).
And that design shouldn't have any problems getting approved as far as I can see.
----------------------
Don't think I've seen that entire plan before, but I recall that there was a plan for a high-rise at roughly that location a few years back and all the people got in an uproar about how it'd change (read: make worse) the neighbourhood. This particular design in te renderings isn't exactlly someting to write home about, but they were rejecting the very idea of a tall building there.
And I wouldn't call it close to Slussen, more like 5-10 min walk. This far from Slussen to the west and to the south there you're closer to the second subway station from Slussen than the first.
----------------------
@Nightsky - wow!

[QUOTE=Swede] I wouldn't call it close to Slussen, more like 5-10 min walk. This far from Slussen to the west and to the south there you're closer to the second subway station from Slussen than the first. [QUTOTE=Swede]

No, its not that far ( i pass there everyday, i live in Nacka, it's really not that far. But if they would build this project they probably whould build another busstop there.

Or another Tvärbanan stop, between Danvikstull and Slussen.

iirc there is already a busstop there ("Viking Terminalen"?), but all those buses go to the lower level of Slussen; don't think any of the Inner City buses stop there. It ain't far at all by bus, but if you walk it it does take a while.
iirc2 they've pretty much ruled out a LRT stop there for some reason, don't even think they're commited to upgrading that part of the line to two tracks.

You guys have used to ignorance from neighbours and now are talking among yourselves about very specific things ;)
Project in Southern Värtahamnen looks very promising - good location and fine contrast with all the square buildings around.

Yeah, good to hear what our neighbours have to say about the projects.

I feel like an outsider too reagarding public transport in the area :)

Found this on a german homepage, anyone who knows if there's any renewal plans for kaknästornet, is this a rendering or are those green thingies just helping structures for some old renovation project/"byggnadsställningar"

http://www.brandstetter.de/anderswo/schweden/images/08_kaknaestornet.jpg

Anybody? :)

That was a few years ago when they renovated the thing. Alas, not a very fine job esthetically. Sure, from an engeneering POW everything is great, but all the detail work the architecht spent on the facade was undone.
(yes, there was facade detail - diffrent surface structuring invoking radio waves and such).

I can't find any good imformation, can someone help me find some?
Anyway here are som pics.

@Alex - that main aerial has been up for over a year now, but those close up renderings are new to me. Probably they're doing something but not saying much. As usual :(

@michau - yeah, from industrial wasteland to urban 'hood with high quality highrises :D IMO a perfect place for more high-rises than just that one. But I wouldn't bet any money on more than that one being built :(

Excellent place to develop highrise. No heritage there, but there is waterfront.

Update of the new Årstabron (rail bridge)

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4ce07b3127ccea92a46ece3a30000001610
The new commuter station will be situated below on this pic at Årstaberg, right were the bridge ends.

The old railbridge, where reigonal train traffic goes and where Stockholms commuter trains goes. When the new bridge will be completed all commuter traffic will run on the new bridge.

Comments are all welcome! :D

Nope, well according to emporis.com, the 95m high building "Hammarby Entré" is still awaitng approval. I really hope they approve it, let's pray together :)
The only real highrise (above 70 m) in sthlm which is approved and soon u/c is the hotel in my native Älvsjö :D The construction is to start on November 15th.. Other than that all the projects seem to pending, if they're not already under construction ofcourse...

Well, these are going to start construction sometime in the next year and they are 20+ floors. They will have about 700 apartments in total.

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4ce07b3127ccea92a122362760000001610

True true, Well I consider the Liljeholms-project as one big project, which is already under construction. That's why I didnt mention L-kajen, but I'm really looking forward to seeing them as well...
I hope this new trend of building highrises stays strong and is escalating.

Yeah! :)

That would be me who edits Sthlm on emporis.com...:cool:

@Alex - afaik that block is the one to the right of the tall buildings in that pic you posted.
And the bridges will take time til they're done - once the new bridge is complete the old one will be renovated, so the increased capacity is still several years away. Anyway, the real boost will be with Citytunneln (2013?)

I hope that they'll decide to build even more highrises by the water (maybe a new Stockholm trend?). It's a perfect place for a mini-skyline that would "welcome" our guests from the other side of the Baltic Sea :)

Below, you can see an aerial of from Stockholm's website and some photos taken by me from a ferry (M/S Victoria):



HeY! What were u doing on M/S Victoria?! u went to Tallinn?!

Stockholm is coming up with new highrises :)
It is so weird to see that the rich Sweden builds commieblocks. Here (in Latvia) it is said that commieblocks would be built only while the country is comparatively poor... But may new commieblocks would be built forever?

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4ce07b3127ccea92a2e06e37d0000001610

hmm, I dont really think they look like commieblocks :D, anyone else??

What do you mean by ''afaik that block is the one to the right of the tall buildings in that pic you posted.''?

...

HeY! What were u doing on M/S Victoria?! u went to Tallinn?!Yup, I was in Tallinn :banana: Wonderful city!!! I will make a thread about my trip soon... I left Sweden for a looong holiday just after coming home from Tallinn and didn't have time to choose and prepare the photos for the web. And it's so hard to go back to old photos after 3 months...



http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4ce07b3127ccea92a5ee162920000001610
I can't wait for the new Årsta Bridge to be opened. It'll be a perfect place for strolling. Water, green hills, impressive commie-blocks (Nybohov and Tanto), Globen and a perfect place for observation of the Liljeholmskajen development... What more could you wish? :)

:whisper: I must admit that I already took an illegal stroll on the bridge...

What do you mean by ''afaik that block is the one to the right of the tall buildings in that pic you posted.''?
In Swedish:
Så vitt jag vet så är det kvarteret [som byggs nu] det till höger om höghusen på bilden [vyskissen] du hade i ditt inlägg.

woah, translating webspeak to Swedish ain't all that easy, even when both come naturally to one.

i find it kinda sad that hammas by sjöstad aint "inner city" blocks that are conjoined to a square with a park in the middle.... but i gues thi s is btter then nothing.... and i hope that Liljeholms kajen have gotten some height by X-mas so i can photos some rising ;) and that värtahamn project looks great too bad there sj ust one highrise.... but tht is better then nothing.... how many stores will it have? and how tall will it be if it bets built?......

Yup, I was in Tallinn :banana: Wonderful city!!!

Fabulous! :eek2:
That bridge looks interesting, doesnt look very modern for some reason. Cant wait to see it open anyways :)

Well the bridges' design is adapted to the old bridge, they didnt want to mess up the beauty of the old bridge by covering and hiding it behind the new one. That's probably why it doesnt look all that modern.

Cos the old bridge is quite a beauty no? :)

http://www.historiskt.nu/diverse/dagens_bild_04/03_arstabron_snj_tag_lok6_1940t.jpg

yes, the old bridge aint that bad! :)

@Swede, ok tack. Jag var lite trög där, gjorde läxor sammtidigt. :P :)

@Michau that was couarging! :P isn't there a fence that blocks the entrence of the bridge? How was it? :D

"big" news!

The politicians want to rethink Slussen AGAIN!
Now they want to look into what it'd cost to re-do it as it is now instead of building the latest competition-winning proposal.
Not the first time this happens... (been going on on-and-off since the early 90s now)

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4ce07b3127ccea92b8a2cc3490000001610

The grey tower must be Hammarbytornet, isn't it?

@ Nightsky yes that's hammarby tornet.

@Michau that was couarging! :P isn't there a fence that blocks the entrence of the bridge? How was it? :DIt was cool. I've got a delightful adrenaline kick ;) I didn't see any fence cause I walked up by the wooden stairs from Liljeholmskajen. Up there on the bridge I didn't see anything that would prevent me from entering it (let's say I forgot my glasses at home :D)

http://www.michau.se/pics/my_pics/stockholm/2004/040613_liljeholmen/liljeholmen_040613_1412.jpg

So I took some pics: commuter train and Folksam highrise

http://www.michau.se/pics/my_pics/stockholm/2004/040613_liljeholmen/liljeholmen_040613_1414.jpg

My favorite commie-blocks at Nybohov :) and the new houses of Liljehilmskajen (below)

http://www.michau.se/pics/my_pics/stockholm/2004/040613_liljeholmen/liljeholmen_040613_1416.jpg

Liljeholmskajen. Can you see the 4 highrises that will be erected here? ;)

DN-skrapan :)

http://www.michau.se/pics/my_pics/stockholm/2004/040613_liljeholmen/liljeholmen_040613_1426.jpg

I turned back after 50-60 meters and decided not go down by the stairs but to walk around the hill instead. Only then I saw the fence but managed to leave the area through a hole in it. There was a nice sign on the fence btw:

Cool! :D

Stockholm is coming up with new highrises :)
It is so weird to see that the rich Sweden builds commieblocks. Here (in Latvia) it is said that commieblocks would be built only while the country is comparatively poor... But may new commieblocks would be built forever?


what are then commieblocks in your opinion, Gatis?

Commieblock is mass-production, possibly cheap, totally squarish flattop multistorey apartment building made of concrete blocks... one of the characteristics for me is easily visible fittings of these blocks, like this:
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4ce07b3127ccea92a2e06e37d0000001610

Oiiii schysta foton michau!!!!!

i like the nybohov commie blcoks allto too i would not mind to lvie in them... i guess the view is good... atleast from a higher floorzone

According to Skanskas homepage, Today is the day!
Work has begun on the Rica Hotel in Älvsjö, soon to be the highest building in South Stockholm (Söderort), It wont be holding on to that spot for a long time though.
Cos of projects like Liljeholmskajen and Hammarby Entré etc..
However, work on the hotel will be finished in the third quarter of 2006..
But atleast the digging begun.. :D

^ Wohoooo! :banana:

Hihihihihihi!!!!! :D :) :D :) :D :)

YEY another highrise is growing in sthlm this is great

Great! :)

Was at the building site today, and Yupp, they've started all right.
So I guess we'll just have to sit back and watch, and wait for it to be finished. :)

Another rendering:
http://members.chello.se/kuini/alvsjo-hotellet2.jpg

that rendering looks a bit like folksamhuset

- not that I'll ever see it from the angle tho. The trains pass by on the other side ('round the corner on the left) so that's where I'll pass by / enter the conventioncenter from.

@michau - cool pix. hard to get a good idea of how wide those old buildings at Liljeholmskajen are from the ground, the 3rd pic really shows how it's possible to get in 2 blocks there.

Oh, and the new bridge is now linked all the way. Should be done next year afaik, making it possible to really renovate the old bridge for the first time since it opened.

i think i did read in dn or something that they need to renovate the subwaybridge to lidingö... because it is all rusty and in witner they will jsut let one train at a time run over it and that they might build a new bridge next to the motorwaybridge and that the line then will go trough the centre of lidingö and not after the side where few ppl live, you know anything about it?

First of all, it ain't no subway-bridge ;) it's a LRT bridge, for Lidingöbanan (strange, innit? that the word meaning "the track" is spellt the same way as the word meaning "banana". The joys of Swedish:D).
The thing of it is that the municipality of Lidingö with it's right-wing politics isn't gonna pay for renovating the bridge and SL (the county transit authority) is real low on money. So there's no-one to pick up the bill of the desperatly needed reconstruction of the LRT bridge.
As for re-aligning it, I've never heard anything of the sort. Not very realistic IMO, as it'd cost alot of money and the few commieblock areas on the island were built to be near the current stations.

One more now seems to have been approved - a 24-storey residential building on North-West Kungsholmen, in the Kojan project. IIRC the Stockholm City board gave the green light the plans for the whole area recently.

In this Swedish-speaking PDF is a good image of the planned waterfront (right at the top of page one), is it possible for someone to find the proper URL for the pic and include it in the thread?
http://www.stockholm.se/files/79200-79299/file_79259.pdf

The new area, which will be situated in the north-west corner of Kungsholmen, the westernmost island of Stockholm's inner city, will replace an old asphalt factory which has to be moved and torn down before development starts. A tentative time plan has construction begun in late 2005 and finished in 2009. 1100 apartments are included in the plan.

Wow, nice find kall man! That tower looks good, quite simple but nice. Build!! :D

Here's the image fron the front page. I like it a lot! :)
http://www.sci.fi/~olvari/kojan.jpg

Thanks, Grendy!
Yep, it does look like a welcome addition to Stockholm. Only thing the building lacks is some friends of the same height in the area... ;)

Nice!!!!!! A new tower!!!! :D Nice to see a new tower close to Downtown! :D Hope there will be more towers! :D

^I wouldn't call it close to Downtown (that being the T-centralen/Hötorget area). It'll be on the far shore of Kungsholmen, so that's maybe 3 km away as the crow flies.

Sadly, there aren't many other high-rises in the plans for Nordvästra Kungsholmen. Tho the ones I remember from the renderings of the over-all plan does insclude a taller one where Essingeleden (E4 and E20 interstates) cross over Lindhagensgatan (main street of the re-development). That one, iirc, looks 30ish storeys tall :D
That rendering is bound to be posted somewhere near the start of this thread.

There is also going to be a 18 story building by skanska!! :D

Looks like a little Dubai! Do you have anymore info about the highrise?

Yes it does look like a little Dubai :), the only info about the highrise is that it has 12 floors.

I don't quite the location of that one. Is it gonna be just north of the current end of Tvärbanan?

cool building alex, they could have kept all them houses in that height or some taller some shorter

@Swede it will be by the Highway besides henriksdalsberget if you know what i mean. :)

I think I do. :)

@wk - yeah, if they're building a whole new district why not raise the standard height a bit? Not even in NodvästraKungsholmen are they doing that :( And from the renderings I've seen it ain't part of the plan for the area between Vasastan and Karolinska.

But it was freezing and the wind was really strong
so i didn't go up the Hammarbybacken,
but i will when it's warmer like in April.

See those black panels on the facade? They are solar panels!
They give electricity to the residents in the building.

WOW! Hammarby Sjöstad is a state of the art! :D

That's i folks, i will go back in a month or so to take pics. :)

Great Pics!! :D

Hammarby Sjöstad is looking good, nice pics Alex! Just one thing, it's Sofia Kyrka on one of the pics, not Katarina ;)

Hammarby Sjöstad is looking good, nice pics Alex! Just one thing, it's Sofia Kyrka on one of the pics, not Katarina ;)

Thanks for the feedback! Oh, yeah it is sofia!! I can't keep track of all the churches in Stockholm there are like hundreds of 'em! :P

i actually find that are extremely sterile and booring :( i wish they had built nice olfacades like in the inner city and inner city blocks

I get what you mean.. Not really heart warming.. I think the area is in desperate need of some diversity. Ever block looks more or less the same.. Sad..
But maybe we'll see different upon it when more people move in and there is a bit more life in the area as well..

Hammarby sjöstad has really some potential, beeing an inner city district, so lets hope that they do it more available to the public. Not only to the residents.
The way its now i think it is just stealing valuable space.

And that åkersberga scraper look exciting, but its sooooo not gonna be build.
But one can wish..

It is available for the public aswell. There are walking stokes round hammarby Sjöstad, shops, resturants, schools and also offices, bike trails, Hammarbybacken (to ski in winter time), tvärbanan being a rightrail line, buses, ferries and plenty of other stuff aswell. :) The concept for Hammarby Sjöstad is to be a nice, peasefull, fun place to live at, not only for residents also for the public to enjoy. (Bealive me i have been there about 100 times and i love the district! It makes my mind grow if you know what i am meaning.
The concept is also to provide good communications and be close to the innercity but not too close, Hammarbysjöstad also provides nature like Nacka reservatet. Hammarby Sjöstad is a ideal of new urban living!

You are right Insane Alex, i am sure it will be a nice area when it is completely finished.
But i am still doubtful, maybe because it is easy to be critical.

But I innerly hope it wont be a totally segregated area only for the residents and their friends and their friends running restaurants for their friends with equally sized wallets :D

I guess i will be completely satisfied when touristbusses stops there to load of tourists interessed in architecture.. HAHAHA

You are new here sideshow, right!? Welcome anyways! :)

Yes i am new.
Thanks :)

Just looked thru the entire thread and couldn't find anything on the Norra Stations-, KI- och KS-area. So here we go:

http://www.solna.se/upload/ChJ/Projekt/Norra%20station/perspektiv_500.jpg
from the north; the mauve ones are in this plan, the yellowish are City of Stockholm, the red at the bottom is Karolinska Sjukhuset/Institutet in the City of Solna

http://www.solna.se/upload/ChJ/Projekt/Norra%20station/Sammanfattning_1.jpghttp://www.solna.se/upload/ChJ/Projekt/Norra%20station/Sammanfattning_2.jpg
current situation from the east

http://www.solna.se/upload/ChJ/Projekt/Norra%20station/NSKSKI_Sida_08_500.jpg
from above
http://www.solna.se/upload/ChJ/Projekt/Norra%20station/NSKSKI_Sida_12_500.jpg
the area, as you can see on this map, crosses City borders and has an interstate and rail thru it, so plenty of people are involved in the planning

http://www.solna.se/upload/ChJ/Projekt/Norra%20station/tunnelbanespar_500.jpg
the plan includes a new branch for the green subway line, a branch that would be where it was planned from the start 50 years ago

http://www.solna.se/upload/ChJ/Projekt/Norra%20station/NSKSKI_Sida_26_500.jpg
the new area will cross the gap from the Inner City to the hospital and integrate it into the urbanity

It'll take a looong time for it to be completed.

Ilifted all of the pics from http://www.solna.se/templates/Page_solna_submenu.asp?id=17393



Another big Solna project on the way: "Solna City"
The idea here is to crreate a more old-school urbanity around the central area of the City of Solna.
http://www.solna.se/upload/bilder/STARK/Omrade_flygbild.jpg
the road going out the lower right corner is the same as goes out the north-west of the Norra Station area just a km away.

by building along the roads it's hoped it'll turn it from essentially a suburban feel to an urban one. I'm willing to agree with that, it's worked for the one new block built just next to this plans area.
http://www.solna.se/upload/bilder/STARK/Plan_SolnaCity_k.jpghttp://www.solna.se/upload/bilder/STARK/Bildsöderifrån.jpg

the option to build a 60s tower instead of two 30s ones.
http://www.solna.se/upload/bilder/STARK/60_van_.jpg

the plan includes a re-built (i.e. expanded) Råsunda Fotbollsstadion.
http://www.solna.se/upload/bilder/STARK/Fotbollstadion1_.jpg
with the possibility to raise the Dallas-scraper so it'll keep the proportional height with the western stands.
http://www.solna.se/upload/bilder/STARK/Fotbollstadion3_.jpg

Stadshusplatsen (City Hall Place) is a good example of the increased urbanity:

the plan

there are a few tall buildings in the plan
http://www.solna.se/upload/bilder/STARK/Bussterminalen_persp_.jpg

but mostly "normal" hight for urban hoods in the Sthlm area
http://www.solna.se/upload/bilder/STARK/Huvudstagatan_norr_persp_.jpg

again, this is from the Solna website (www.solna.se)

There's a third plan that hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet!
Danvikslösen (http://www.danvikslosen.se)
time-frame: construction starts next year, done 2012
http://www.danvikslosen.se/sidor/flygfoto.jpg
today

http://www.danvikslosen.se/bilder/vagtrafiksys.jpg
moving the inner end of a highway into a tunnel to make way for new development

http://www.danvikslosen.se/bilder/lokalgatunat.jpg
a new street-grid

http://www.danvikslosen.se/bilder/kollektivtrafik.jpg
connecting two LRT lines going thru/to the area today

http://www.danvikslosen.se/bilder/bebyggelse.jpg
7000 new residences

btw - the highrise on the last page is actually part of this area.

Danvikslösen- is it just next to the Hammarby Sjöstad?

Ja!
It is indeed, the blocks on the lower right in that last pic are all part of Hammarby Sjöstad. Danvikslösen is essentially an extension of HS IMO.
btw - there's also a smaller plan the is already u/c in the middle of the penninsula on the right (in the last pic). Even out there it's ment to get more urban.

I think the new Solna city think is very interesting. I read about it in svd about 2 years ago. Is it going to happen and when.
By the way how high would a 60s house be in meters?

What did you think of the new project around wtc and centralen. It looks kindy weird, maybe a bit to futuristic.It reminds me of a picasso
http://tinypic.com/19p1ec

Solna City does look like it's gonna happen, just not all that soon (final completion I'd estimate at 2015) and certaily not all at once. The first project that was kind of a pre-cursor of it (the white block on the right edge of the two last Solna City pix) was completed last year, it is IMO a good example of new urban building. Dense, solid walls to the sidewalk, reatail spaces by the main-street side (in this case towards the subway exit and the bus hub).

The 60s is also given at 200m, so it'd top TT by 10m and by a wide margin be tallest in the Sthlm area. check it out in the SSP diagram (Sweden + proposals/built/under construction).

I like that Kungsbron project. Could be a bit more variation than just the colors, but it does look like it'll increase the density about as much as is possible and at the same time it'll be of high enough quality and fit into the existing urban fabric in such a way that I can't see the inevitable NIMBY appeals getting much credit from the ppl who decide.
Also, like that pic shows, it'll look real good from the trains pulling into/out of Sthlm Central (unless the train's on one of the tracks that're too close to 'em).

Cool project, Swede! :) When will construction norra station start and end ? And that new subway line where would the end station be and is it approved?

Well, according to the time-plan in one of the pics it won't be done completely til 2018(!)
As for the new subway branch, I haven't heard anything defenitive about further stations, but the one I can remember having been mentioned is Solna centrum. Not where I'd put it. I'd favour an alignment further east (Karolinska-Blåkulla-Frösunda-Järva Krog-Ulriksdal-?nytt område planerat väster om Ulriksdal?).
And No it ain't approved yet, stil in planning stages. Tho the idea of a branch heading north from Odenplan is actually so old that the tunnels are prepared for it a bit.

Ok. are you sure that construction will start next year? Where did you see that, because as i can recall, the project was sent on a ''remiss'' due to the lack of funds.

No, I'm very very unsure when it comes to when it'll start. Like you said the funding is still unclear, it's out on "remiss" and will probably get appealed anyway.

Well i just read their homepage (www.danvikslosen.se) it is said that they will plan the project in 2005 and start construction in 2006 of the highway through a tunnel, tvärbanan to Slussen and start construction of apartments.

http://www.danvikslosen.se/bilder/danvikstull.jpg
A preview of how it could be.

Citybanan to start construction this summer

I read in the newpaper today, there was an article about citybanan. It was said that construction will start this summer. Completion is scheduled for 2011.

http://www.banverket.se/upload/3713/City_karta_ss_stor.gif

http://www.banverket.se/upload/bilder/jarnvagsnatet/profilsodermalmstor.jpg

So the final plan is for the commuter-train station "City" to br under the blue line subway at T-Centralen?
That'd make it, lemme see, 6 levels below ground! :)

Amazing it's getting under way so fast. Only been 130 years since we got the last new railtracks thru the city (not counting the subway). The increased capacity when this is done will be pretty good - the current 2 tracks are at at/over capacity for hours every day. It'll be possible to increase the number of rush-hour commuter trains (impossible now).

I dont know why but i really admire ur country. Ive wanted to say that my family name is Al Suwaidi in Arabic which is equavelant to sweden in english.

Its gonna be so cool when the Kista Residence Tower is finished.

Yupp, true, I'm waiting for that one as well.. hope it gets under way pretty soon.. The City council needs to HuRrY Up!

Stockholm citybanan is rather nice. I remember first time when I use it because of the Fellowship of the Ring posters (December 2001).

I dont know why but i really admire ur country. Ive wanted to say that my family name is Al Suwaidi in Arabic which is equavelant to sweden in english.

Hehe, good to here that. :)

http://www.banverket.se/upload/bilder/jarnvagsnatet/Profil-Norrmalmstor_03.jpg
I see Swedish capital has some real nice transport projects underway. I guess this is going to be something more of a commuter train type link, isn't it?
And even though I've never used these trains in Stockholm, but, if I'm not mistaken, commuter trains are already running through the Central Station. Anyways, I guess they just want to put it underground... which is great. :yes:

the plan includes a new branch for the green subway line, a branch that would be where it was planned from the start 50 years ago

@Swede, Is this approved yet? :) Where will this Subway branch end? Will it continue into Solna?

What is the STATUS of the Solna Projects?

@smussuw - what's the story behind that name? a connection with Sweden or just coming from a similar-sounding word?

@perzival/sims - it ain't the City's aproval that's dragging. It's that an incestor pulled out right near the end. Should a new investor be found tho, it's all lined up for approval within 6 months best I can figure. /Should send of a new mejl to the architects.

@pr0n* - indeed it is a commuter rail link. And yes, the trains already go thru the central staion, but there's a bottleneck just south of it (by Gamla Stan) that's just got 2 tracks for a few hundred meters. This plan is to create two dedicated tracks in a tunnel, opening up for much denser traffic for both commuter and inter-city trains. Old plans called for new tracks thru basements next to the current stretch (opened in 1873 iirc), and was righlty blasted for being a real threat to several historic buildings there IMO.

@sims - a) nope, but apart from the funding I've got a real good feeling 'bout it.
b) nothig's that far along yet, but I've heard Solna Centrum as a possible connection. Not favouring that myself, but it would make SolnaC a real hub - Blue & Green subway + Tvärbanan LRT + a major bus station (with airport coaches to Arlanda).
c) uh, yeah. KS is in Solna, so at least one exit will be in Solna. This could very well be our second stop that's got exits in two cities :D

@perzival - afaik the Solna City ones are all in early stages, but the response has been favourable. It is a big plan, so it'll take time to happen. but first stuff could be going up within 1½-2 years IMO

@Swede
Nice, sounds great, (except for the KRT info..) Solna would become a real stepstone for the northen part of Sthlm, just as I think Älvsjö will become to the Southern (if all plans concerning LRT and subway lines are carried out)!
Btw.. Al Suwaidi means "of Sweden" in Arabic hehe Don't ask me how I know :D

Yeah if all the Solna plans come together it'll be a real dense urban area in there (I live on the other side of it :)). As it is now the Råsunda-Sundbyberg area is already pretty darn urban, If you've been there you'd know (gone to school there and taken the night-bus thru there plenty of times).

But will they build two twin towers 30+ and the singel tower 60+ or just one of them?

@Swede
Haven't really been there a lot, though I know the spot modestly well, heh..
Definitely, Sundbyberg has really an urban feeling, though It feels a bit like a little town (As it is), more than a part of the city itself, especially when thinking of the picturesque promanades and relatively narrow main streets.

@Parizval
Nope, it will be one or the other :sleepy:
Either 2x30 OR 1x60.. Sad enough...

I've been following the thread with great interest, now I have a small question about Solna. My impression of it is that it's basically sort of a large suburb of Stockholm, but actually a proper independent city, similar to Helsinki's Espoo?

^That's right. It became a City in the 20th century and lies just north/north-west of Inner City Stockholm. Parts of Stockholm City do stick out north of it (that part being Kista!) with another City inbetween (Sundbyberg). The political borders are a bit weird, as a result of politics during the 19th and 20th centuries - had things gone slightly diffrent both Solna and Sundbyberg would be districts of the City of Stockholm now.
Not sure how that compares to Esbo tho. :)

Hi guys! Speaking of major transportation hubs, don't forget about slussen!!!

A major busterminal ( the buses go to Nacka and Värmdö the two fastest growing countys of Sweden, two subway lines (red and green), Saltsjöbanan being a sort of commuter rail but more of a fast LRT (it goes to Saltsjöbaden in Nacka), tvärbanan will connect with Saltsjöbanan at Hammarby Sjöstad soon and now there are plans of a renovation project for slussen!

Does anybody know what's happening with the project?

it will be two towers with 26 fl and 14 fl. it seams that it got approved. Dont know if it is close to any other high bulidnings in stockholm.

http://www.dn.se/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1298&a=365992

^^^ Great news indeed :okay:

Well, it dosen't actully said so in the article, only that construction is planned for next year and there has not been as many protests that there usally is when there is a plan for new highrise. It's likely that it will be approved soon though.

Btw, in the article it says that hammarby entre will be across the water from Folksamhuset, skatteskrapan and Globen.

Welcome to the forums! :)

@Johannes - hi again. Been a while :)
Good find,b ut like Alex said, it ain't approved yet. Little to no opposition tho, so I'd give it a 90+% cance of going up :D I've been by the site a couple of times and last time it was still buissness as usual for the current users, and it is basically across the water from Folksomhuset. A block or so in-land, but still on the line the SöderTorn, Skattesrapan and Folksam create.
However it won't be counted as two towers on Skyscrapers.com/Emporis, since the connecting base is 7s and th eshorter highrise is just 7 (on its own). Has to be at least 2/3 on its own for it to be considerd two towers.

@Alex - last I heard about SLussen was that is was going to go in for another round of seeing if the current one couldn't be salvaged (i.e. repaird) after all. No big surprise, but it'll stall everythin at least a year more afaik. By the time that's over they might even decide to do nothing. Again. That's what happened the last time.
Saltsjöbanan is ment to be changed into true LRT in the future, no more runing re-done old subway cars on it. However, I don't think they've made firm plans to make it 2 tracks all the way in to Slussen, even with Tvärbanan going in there too!

btw - those aren't counties, those are municipalities. (county = län ju, municipality = kommun)

i was wondering, which is the biggest project in Stockholm now?

Depends how you mean. If you mean largest building I don't know, largest ditrict is probably Hammarby Sjöstad (which is nearing its end) and most expensive single "structure" could well be the commuter-train tunnel.

Good news. Congratulations Stockholm! :)
How tall will the 26 floor tower be?

^ 94,5 m tall :D

i was wondering, which is the biggest project in Stockholm now?
Should be Solna Torn 60+ floors or Kista resident Tower 42 floors

Depends how you mean. If you mean largest building I don't know, largest ditrict is probably Hammarby Sjöstad (which is nearing its end) and most expensive single "structure" could well be the commuter-train tunnel.

Acually Hammarby Sjöstad is not really nearing it's end, completion date 2009 though alot has been completed.

^ 94,5 m tall :D
Not bad :okay:

Not bad :okay:
seconded :D
:cheers:

@perzival - yeah, but neither of those are near construction. KRT is on hold waiting for an investor (original ones backed out - sissies;)). Solna is afaik just part of an re-development plan for the whole 'hood, not a specific design yet.

@Alex - :) but considering it was started in the early 90s (planning) I'd say 4 years left ain't much :D

And here's a Stockholm project with a difference :D It ain't being built in Stockholm and it is in fact 55 units.

http://www.sl.se/cs-media/nyheter/jpg/000012840.jpg
First ones should be in regular service Q2-Q3 this year, with one unit delivered every 14 days. They're 107m long and two make up a full-length commuter-train. more info at http://www.sl.se/ (you have to be able to read Swedish - no info on 'em at the English site)

The new commuter trains look very nice! :) I guess four years isn't that long if you compare to the dates u have said! :)

great sthlm..but this will be build in the suburb kista a long way from the city.not so good

^which one do you mean? KRT & Kista Port?
I do agree that it's kinda sad that there's no big cluster going on, but that's just how things are. The Inner City is pretty "safe" from high-rises, so they're spread out around it.
btw - Technically we're IN the City ;)

Oh yeah, forgot about Kista port, is there anything more concrete on that..
Any dates? Please don't tell me it's the investors again :(

Haven't heard ANYthing new about Kista Port since last time (eh, like over a year ago). The low-rise portions should be up for approval soon tho. The 20s twins are ment to be built when there's a market for 'em.

Sthlm needs more architects with tall thinking....I remember a few years a go when they said they should build a skyscraper on Sergels torg. Istead of the "mutter" but nothing happends..Same with Kista Port..and 1 year ago they should build 6-7more floors on the "skatteskrapan". But nothing happends,,,I dont know whats wrong maby we just have to changes the goverment ?

Oh, there's architects with visions allright.
The trouble is getting funding/approval. The towers out in Kista would get built pretty fast if only there was someone willing to front the millions needed for projects like that. This is why the KRT site is just surface parking (un-paved, even) and not toppped out by now.
In the Inner City it's approval that's a problem. The majority (of 08or) seem to be hell-bent on preserving the low-rise character of it. So never mind if it's a socialist or a bourgouisie(sp?) majority in City Hall - the anti-highrise lobby is strong (for the IC).
Oh, and you'd be amazed how much of the Inner City is protected (K-märkt). Even Skatteskrapan is!

Now to my view on a specific case :D
The Sergelstorn competition (held by the City) did yield some good ideas (all are presented on the city's site - look under "stadsbyggnadskontoret"). My fav is a 15s-ish building looking 100%urban.
On one hand it's sad that one isn't rising right now, on the other there are plenty of other proposals that I'm nothing but glad they didn't make it.

@Swede

No doubt, I'm with you on that one!
This would be slightly H O R R I B L E:
http://www.sbk.stockholm.se/SergelT/Ser000517/Serg3.jpg

have they stoped building this or? I dont think I've heard about it before so i dont know much
http://www.stockholm.se/files/4200-4299/file_4262.jpg
Gatu - och fastighetskontoret har genomfört en markanvisningstävling för ytterligare en skyskrapa i Kista. NCC som vunnit tävlingen bygger redan Kista Science Tower. Kista Residence Tower ska bli ungefär lika högt, 37 våningar. I skyskrapan planeras bland annat 250 små företagslägenheter till de anställda i Kista samt serviceinrättningar för de boende. Bakgrunden till den nya skyskrapan är att många företag har svårt att hitta bostäder till sina anställda. Kista Residence Tower beräknas vara färdigt 2005 eller 2006.

Kista Residence Tower = KRT (One of the investors pulled out, just before the construction start)

Swede wrote some about it quite recently, just browse through the thread. I'm sure you'll find useful info.

This place in Stokcholm has no luck to good architecture.

Because u are drunk? I think the politicans are drunk, aren't they?

great to see this thread gonig again,

i am glad they did not build that orange pink building on sergels torg even tough it aint ugly, it would looks weird, that square is supposed to be open, that building would kill that feeling http://www.sbk.stockholm.se/SergelT/Ser000517/Serg3.jpg atleast if you comefrom T-centralen or any direction on drottninggatan

True, It would feel messed up.. "instängt"
IMO That place needs to stay open with free sight across "Sergels Torg"

I agree: that building is no beauty! :D Stockholm deserves much better. :)

And Sims is right: grand cities need grand vistas, and mucking up a fine visual axis with this monster would have been a VERY bad idea. :down:

Well Doris, let me then tell you of a visual axis that was intentionally disrupted.
One of the main streets on the Northside is Sveavägen. Goes from the Hagapark (with the Wennergren Center skyscraper on the extension of the axis) in the north right for the Royal Palace. But in the 50s-60s when the new plan was made for the Klara area it was decided that that axis shuldn't be completed (major plans can take a while to actually happen here - iirc the original plan was from the 1800s) but rather the street was bent to be ended at Sergelstorg with Kulturhuset (BIG cultral center) instead.
IMO this was a silly way to build a more socialist city - instead of the major avenue ending grandlly at the Royal Palace it peters out at a building "celebrating" the people and our culture. the real result was that the whole ending of the street lost all meaning (since there's a bend in it that makes the grand feelings impossible)

The big block of "Kojan", on North West Kungsholmen (Kings Isle) is now fully approved, a 24 floor residential building is part of the plan.
Construction start: Q4, 2005 or early 2006

YaY, but i am not sure if i will belive it will get built til it's UC i mean we all know how crappy sweden is on constructioning taller stuff :'(

That's great news! It would be cool if it started rising at the same time as Hammarby Entré.

Also some non-high rise news; if you guys remember that a potential hotel high-rise at Norra Bantorget was cancelled there's now an approved plan for that site. Still a hotel but only "normal" height. Still, it'll make the square go from just being a name to actaully having a feeling of an urban square (together with all the other projects along the railraod tracks north of Centralstationen).

I guess the activity in this thread, more or less reflects the activity for new building plans in sthlm :(

ok i just wanna know what they are doing at Plattan, that round café at the corner is gone, and htye are building, so i wanna know if thye ar rebuilding it or building that big miscoloured building? and i finaly saw what they are boing between Riksdagen and Gamlastan i figured they where building something before but thye are geiving the Riksdag a new base since the present one is made in WOOD!! i had never belived that lol,

Muttern is being (has been? haven't been there in a while) removed and will be replaced with just a new netrance to the subway. That entire entrence to the subway is being rebuilt, to look and work better while improving security (no, not about terrorism just regular street crime).

A few renderings (from www.stockholm.se - project is "Kv Skansen" on Norrmalm)

Found another plan on Stockholm.se, also for the Inner City. This time it is Sabbatsberg that's going to be densified, currently it is a hospital and various administrations (that are part of the County Council's healthcare division). My mom works here :)
It is located to the north-west of Downtown (Hötorgscity), on the first pic you can see the railtracks heading into the central station from the north on the far right and the edge of Odenplan (where a new commutertrain station will be built) at the upper left edge.

And finally a rendering of the densified Sabbatsberg, darker building and white roof = new:

GREAT! :D Heard a bit about it, but these details really shed some light on the whole thing. Is there a prepared time plan for it?

Couldn't find any :( But one of those pics^^ sez "april 2001" so I would goess it is more of a new over-all plan than any specific proposals. So no clue whatsoever.

i think they could leave sabbatsberg as it is as a big green park or sen,mthing with houses in it and htye built over the tracks instead, i hope the new houses here will look Waay better then the sterile one at Luxparken on lilla essing

Leave it as a park? it isn't a park now! But the park to the north of Sabban is going nowhere :)
I hope so too, hopefully they won't give it all to one developer. IMO everything that looks like a diffrent building in that rendering should be planned seperatly with diffrent architects and developers. That way it won't look like a buch of clones.
