In the back of the second photo you can see a building which will be demolished and the 30 floorer will be built, so these two scrapers will be very close ;)

Sweeeet :drool:

definitely, that's my most favourtie vision in Klaipeda!

just words "will" should be replaced by "should";)

Vision? :D
Word vision should be changed to project ;)

They're gonna build it in Bayfront Park in dowtown Miami too:eek2:

definitely, that's my most favourtie vision in Klaipeda!

just words "will" should be replaced by "should";)
Edgaex, is that you? :|

:)

edgaex is alive, fear mortals... the down is coming

_alonso_ is alonso. Homer is edgeax. ;)

^^^ LOL, I know that. Just alonso reply was very similar to ones of Edgaex (not toward same cities, though) ;)

^^^LOL, don't think it could be compared with Edgaex's posts;)

I just read one John's post in Lithuanian forum and realized that this is partly vision. nothing to argue about:)

alonso, this is not a "vison", it's an actual project which's got an investor and design as well as a landplot.

I saw this discussions here http://www.**********************/tinkle/showthread.php?t=532&page=4&pp=20 and drew the conclusion.

sorry, perhaps I mixed up words "projetct" and "vision", which mean pretty the same;) just one is more "unreal".

more "unreal"

:weirdo: :D

ah, com' on;)

There are news that they are negotiating with the investors, but they cant say much more, just new renderings:

Seems like Dutch architects made this :D

the finest project in Klaipeda atm for sure! Looks as if it has the most quality too! Really wouldnt mind this peace of Architecture in Tallinn ;)

I'll be waiting for new photos and developments of this project. Hope soon :)

Closing of construction is already in 2006. Cool, in Lithuania seems that building skyscrapers doesn`t delay much.

Don`t know about finishing the construction in 2006, because they have problems with investors and infrastructure...

Looks good to me. Lets hope it'll be built. :)

It seemed that this project died with no investor, but it seems that the authors are changeing they`r plans. The tower should look the same, it should be a hotel, but the other part should be changed strongly. They`r planing a sport and entertainment complex. Although i`m not pretty sure that this project will start someday :|

Interesting - wish success. Project is not bad - 6/10 for me. Car parking is a bit weird - not so successful tribute to present trends in architecture.
