New high-rise boomtown in EE?

[John]

High-rise projects which are currently under preparation for construction in Klaipeda (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=145099), Lithuania. Most are scheduled for 2004-2006, some will last until 2010. This is all what is known to us so far, there also might be high-rise projects which we just don't have a clue of ;)

My favorite is the "K tower"

[blimey]

Same here, K tower rules.

[Wicky]

Great news for Klaipeda and the whole Lithuania. :okay:

In Slovakia are the highrises announced in Banska Bystrica (Europa shopping centre), plans are for Žilina, Trnava and Lučenec (widening of the Business zone).

In Bratislava the new highrise is going to be finished in Ružinov district /will bring the photos/. Furthermore there are recently the discussions in Stare Mesto district about the construction of another highrise (34 floors), but there are still the petitions of district inhabittants against it, so it is up to mayor of this district to decide.

At least Jacek will be happy :laugh:

[edolen1]

And the Czech Republic and Slovakia have reunited! :0

[John]

Author of that map must've been very politically biased :laugh:

[MIMICA]

Very nice city, and even better highrises! Nice pictures! :)

[Mantas]

So many projects fro such a small town, although good to see it happening :)

[peterthegreat]

Shame, we planned to take over Kaliningrad in few years, but Poland was first :( Still i think we should fight for this territory.. ;)

:jk:

[Kubster]

What are the chances for all those towers to be built? Are they proposed or already U/C? The projects are great! :okay:

[John]

This 20 storey tower is U/C, not sure about others

That map is more then Stupid, Tallinn is with one N on the map. I want the authors head! I can forgive far away countries but i expect Lithuanians to know it by now :P

[Sergei]

No offense, but some of those projects are kinda ugly. I don't like the Gandraliskes Quarter project, especially the bases.

The rest of them are really nice. Good luck with that, it's great that there is a constuction boom in EE. :)

[John]

I'm bringing this old thing up.

Two new 30 storey residential highrises were just announced in central part of Klaipeda. I think it's not the end yet :|

I heard that there's gonna exist Prussia again so Klaipeda won't be Lithuanian anymore and Klainingrad will be Prussia's capital ;) also Poland will loose their soils ;)

[3tmk]

[Elbrus]

Really nice. Not too big, not too small. These projects suit Klaipeda very much.

^^Cool project!

[3tmk]

Great Update!
I really enjoyed the representation of the city, especially since I really like small scale models. And it shows how the skyline will impact the city, a little far away from each other but still visible IMO.
And the K&D is growing well

[lindenthaler]

^^ Agree, it is simple very good to see baltic cities developing fast. And that not in some 3d models but in real updates we can always see here :cheers:

[ShuMi]

Here you can find some more pics of the model:

Great Update!
Already the first building is completed, we've got the K&D towers well on their way, and the tallest Grandslikes in its early stages...
I think the city is doing great, and it will be even better when the rest of the towers finally break ground.

[ShuMi]

Long time since the last update.

So, some news about some highrises:

The "30fl." tower in Minijos st. will have only 20fl., don`t know why the height was decreased. The site is now already being prepared and constrution should start in March.

The 18 floorer of "Audros rumai" was rejected because of the height. The new project now includes 3 <10fl. building complex, constrution should start in summer.

New 16-21fl. building proposed in Taikos st., near to a renovated soviet highrise. Although is not clear will they be alowed to build it, because the height on that land plot shouldn`t be higher than 8fl.

And an another 12fl. highrise proposed in Taikos st., it should be a residential. And there`s no height limits in that land plot.

[3tmk]

lol, but you have to admit that this city is getting a lot of developments for its size.
Not to say that Kyiv isn't booming either, but just like Warsaw or Moscow, Kyiv is a metropolis

[ShuMi]

Yeah, it`s interesting when people compare cities that aren`t really comparable :|

[Timoth12]

Wow, will Klaipeda be then "highrise capital" of the Lithuania? ;) Compared to its size the highrise development is probably bigger than in Vilnius.

[ShuMi]

Probably. There are a lot of restrictions for highrises in Vilnius, that may be the problem in the future, trying to match Klaipeda.

[ShuMi]

Two more new highrises were proposed.
A 16 fl residential and a 16-20fl office building.

Here`s a few week old update on the U/C towers:

Population of city proper is somewhere ~190.000 and up to 250.000 with towns in 20km radius around the city. Show me another city of this size in Eastern-Central Europe having atleast 1/2 of development Klaipeda has. Not talking only about highrises, but also industry, infrastructure, logistics, port facilities and so on... More than twice larger neighbouring Kaliningrad looks absolutely ridiculous compared to Klaipeda in this case, so stop beeing an ignorant fool :ohno:
