I think this project needs separate thread :)

So today was announced that development of the 28fl and 105m "Registrų centras" has been started. The landplot is already fenced and the the main construction works will begin in February :okay: The building is going to be partially occupied by a state owned company Center of Registers, the other space will be used for commercial purposes.

Render (thx to Geex)

Quick skyline rendering

Great news :okay:

Vilnius skyline will look even better soon. When are they gonna finish it?

That seems to be the main accent of high-rise constructions in Vilnius this year :)
I'll be waiting for new photos of the site! :D

I'll be waiting for new photos of the site! :D
Please donate the photographer :D

Thank you for the news, Mantai! :)

But oh please ... don't let it be a flat-top! :master:

Looks good! Once it's done it may very well be the nicest hi-rise in NCC. :) Vilnius gonna look awesome then. :okay:

Do you have more renders of that building? I hope it's not going to be orange, because I got sick of that color already :puke:

:wave: Yesterday i have made few photos from the landplot of the Center of the Register. As you see, site prepatation works is under way. :rock: Few trees were lumbered out, because of the free space needs.

There you see the big picture of the landplot. In the right you could see already built municipal building. Now you could better imagine where exactly the new scyscraper of the Vilnius NCC (New city center) will be built.;)

That's all this time. :D :wave: :rock:

Ahha! you dont have a crane yet :tongue3::tongue:!

oh, and thanks for the update! :wave:

tnaks ch1le ;)
Yes you right, there aren't any cranes currenty, but i hope to see them soon :bleh: :D (the crane mania shoud begin relly soon ;))
And about Municipality, it's because of his biger and major neighbour ;)
The picture was made from the same place as previous Municipality. I could imagine, how that place would look when the center of the register will be finished. :booze: ;)

Great news! Vilnius has already got an impressive skyline (for being S&B ;)) and this will make it even better. Oh, and is it just me or is the neighbourhood a bit...hm...depressing? :P
http://img.miestai.net/IMGP0220.JPG

^^^
The neighbourhood is not depressing, it's a messed up shithole filled with old huts some of which were as old as from 1920's! It was chosen as the primary zone of development because it could not continue like this :yes:

Here's a picture of the whole area (the new tower will be in the middle just meters away :))
http://img198.exs.cx/img198/4249/ghj8dd.jpg

Wow, so close to Europa Tower? That's sweet! :)

^^^ Oh yes, that's very sweet :yes:

Some fantastic photos! Out of interest what does state company Registrų centras do? and is the building built with public money?

Center of Registers is a state owned company. As the name suggests it provides services of registers (all kinds of registering services - real estate registration, registration of various other properties).
As for the money, it's unclear with what money the building is going to be built, the Register company will occupy only 6 floors and the rest most likely will be for rent. Not much information we could find now.

any construction updates yet? Im sure you are at 5 floors now, hehe

No, but they are doing something ;)
http://img.miestai.net/2005/IMGP1085.JPG

huge plot...as big as Tornimäe imo

You really think that Tornimäe site is the same area as centers of registers? :D

Let's compare
http://img89.exs.cx/img89/8030/tornim2pg.jpg

http://img.miestai.net/2005/IMGP1085.JPG

as i understood from the render, the higher part of the center of the register should be built in that place where still some trees are growing, or forhaps a little bit in front of these trees. And a lower part should be built in the left, but what are they doing behind mentioned place? :hm: In the render there aren't anything.
And about the site area, when we compare Mantaz pictures, i think everything is clear. :D

Mantaz :) Yes they are about the same size, the pic of mine doesnt show the full size coz half of the site is blocked by houses... plus the site is incased with different buildings leaving a smaller feel... Were talking about 43 000 squre meters beeing put up on that patch of land.
better compare this to the one i pointed:
http://img198.exs.cx/img198/4249/ghj8dd.jpg

Its called perspective :), things look smaller further away :D :weirdo:

Indeed you have cut probably more than a half of area in the last pic. Try to look more careful, the areas aren't the same size and differs in a range of few times :|

hmm, i really dont know anymore, if that commie is the edge of the plot its bigger indeed.
edit: Tornimäe plot is something like 5000

Some visual stuff showing the location of the new tower and its impact to the skyline (it was posted before)

Thanks, John. Just ad a Hansabank HQ next to the RHL and we'll see a pretty impressive skyline :)

Great post, John ! Vilnius rock :nocrook:

thanks John ;) cool views :okay: If the colour of the render of the center of the register coul be as it is shown in these pictures then it would be really cool, but now we dont know how it would look finaly . But any way - Vilnius really rocks :nocrook: :cheers:
Btw, the land plot of the register every day becoming more and more similar to the serious work - today the land is ploughed up and looks like after a serious bombing :D

it will look pretty nice, but its not "That" tall :tongue3:

@chile: It is (probably even taller) - just compare with other buildings. ;)

"Placeholder" :)

Thanks for the update, you nicely showed it from different sides :okay: Be also sure to post them to the lithuanian forum :yes:

Btw, I still remember ch1le saying that the site is as large as of Tallinn twins :D

oh yes, indeed Mantaz´, glad to see site is as big as tallinn CBD´...

^^^ You like that abbreviation (CBD), don't you :D

Yeah, Vilnius is developing, no doubt... Skyscrapers in background of John`s rendering look very tall.

with all this projects complete Vilnius should look very nice, probably best in Baltic's, at least if skyline is concerned...

Seems like 27 fl. office tower became a 32 floorer residential and a lowrise center of registers beside. According to the latest news, center of registers should go U/C on september. No news about tower though, althaugh there are some fresh renderings ;)

Now we are talking! That is going to be a fine skyline!

^^^ Tell me about it :D

acording to the news the name of the thread should be shanged from 28fl to 32 ;)

^^^I think we need to wait when everything just sets up :yes:

well, we will see, hope soon. I still don't believe if such KVAD will accept it :) With 28fl they had big problems and with 32 ?? Ofcourse, they could have some hole for the project, who knows, but 32 souds much better than 28 (not for heritage protectors) :)

Wow! May be they will not change total height, because apartments have a bit less floor height

Oh no, yet another residential... :|

What's wrong with it beeing a residential?

No problems if this is another residential ;) this means that the deficite of office space one day will require another highrise

What's wrong with it beeing a residential?
We don't want to be similar to Tallinn :D (j/k)

Actually I don't like it to be residential, because it should be a business district, not a residential :|

Well, I believe mixing retail, buisness and residential is good. A pure buisness district is dead after 5pm, while a mix isn't. A mix also reduces the need for transportation.

^^^ I agree on this point though :yes:

I like what I see, looks like a great building for the Vilnius skyline. :)

As NorthStar, I'm also very much for mixing residential and commercial which makes the area much more lively.

Yes, may it be so! :banana:

The orange virus continues..

The orange virus continues..
Yes I recognized it too:) Seems like this highrise also is gonna to have some orange accents..I see they like this color very much:)

I feel good about the fact that they're going to build a residential instead of an office building. As Northstar suggested pure business districts are dead empty after work hours and that's a fact.

I was there today, but nothing is happening there at the moment...the construction site is empty.

It's hard to pass this building without taking any pic's :)

Thanks ;) , yeah there still aren't anything, but hope not for a long. We still dont know the date of the residential construction to begin, if everything will be ok. I hope that they will start till the end of the summer or at the begining of autum, as the Registers building should start.
