PR fight against Vilnius Mayor. The company is not satisfied for municipality's move to reconstruct "their" parking lot to sidewalks. The ad tells: "Mr. Zuokas square. For Vilnius, where it's good to live for everybody" (iirc once it was Zuokas' campaign slogan)

The basement for next part of Vyrokas apartments is under preparation. The dormitory heightening is as well a part of the project.

:) very very nice... I am longing to have a time to do the same for Riga.
Thanks Mantaz, for this work.
Helios is very fine! And congrats with the start of aquapark. Should be big success (and pain in the ass for Jurmala aquapark)

I completely agree. Thanx for the updates Mantai. Two weeks and counting until I see some of these beauties in person.

I really like the Grand Duke Palace building restoration, and the statue of St. George is the perfect addition. Gedimino Prospektas is turing out to be a grand location in Vilnius. :)

For sure Vilnius is developing rapidly. :okay: Good to see that abandoned and old districts will look more beautiful.
