The renovation and building of the additional floors will start soon.

''will start soon'' doesn't mean ''u/c''. Also, take a look at announcements and stickies before you create a thread first. The thread title needs to be the same as all other projects listed here.

The status may be changed to approved, then. The information i read in the article was not detailed and i missunderstood that the construction work may be started this month. Sorry and thank you for chaning the title. :)

Very nice towers! :applause:

Yes, very nice Scandinavian towers. :)

A reconstruction of the towers 'Gothia West' ir 'Gothia East' has been started:

Peab har börgat bygga ny entre till svenska mässan/ gothia trippel towers, vid byggplattsen står det att de börgar bygga på tredje tornet 22-25 sep. Men jag antar att de i praktiken inebär att det börgar med påbyggnaden av crowntower, för tredje tornet som jag förstog det blir ettap 2?
