well,i think this tower has total 28 floors.
5 f basement parkings + Lower ground + uper ground + 21 floors over ground

terrible renders. I hate how every building has to have multi-level shopping centers in them

I like how they are growing straight up instead of accross. Maybe not the best way to build a mall but definetly cool and ground work for a skyline.

terrible renders. I hate how every building has to have multi-level shopping centers in them


I hate them too..but i guess its an economic necessity..

They are the first ones to be occupied and among the highest in terms of rent(at least in pakistan)..so its like a cover for the builders

terrible renders. I hate how every building has to have multi-level shopping centers in them

It a social requirement basically! The investor look forward to get more of the return! They would prefer that each square foot of their space will return them lum sum amount of money. Plus its a multi purpose multi storey building......commercial area is requiremnet of such buildings.....so there hasto be exposed shopping levels at the intial 3-5 floors.....

comapare a commercial building with a bank building......diff of design cauz of purpose n function!!

I understand the economics of it, i dislike the aesthetics of it.

I hate it too...but yeah its a necessity...I guess...

Why must the mall be exposed?

Kool design ;)

has constuction work started?

nope

i dont it will hapen

i dont it will hapen :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono:

They allready Advertising on ARY World all over the world giving numbers out ppls allready buying shops there it's allready happening ... everything is going to plane ... nice design hmmmme beside te shops ,,,, oh well its nice ...

I hope it will complete soon. We have been learning about many many skyscrapers during last three years, but still there isnt any 18 story building in Lahore even underconstruction. Nopt to speak of 60,55,40 and 35 stories hige advertisements and EOIs.

From Jang newspaper.

according to urban developer the top 10 floors have been already leased out to the leading brands and call center offices

according to urban developer the top 10 floors have been already leased out to the leading brands and call center offices


ya i also read on newspaper.huge kind of adevertisement of IT tower is going on different newspapers and tv channels like GEO,ARY etC
They also mentioned that front one shops and showrooms on ground floor has also booked by country leading mobile companies.

^^^^
well that got to happen when u got such a big mobile market right next door. These companies need larger and new office spaces for expansion of their business.

^ Its much more expensive than Hafeez centre too.

http://urbandevelopers.info/IT-PS-Ground-Front.html

But I guess companies will be willing to open an outlet in such a prestigious building.

i just wished it would have benn around 25 stories above ground

it will have total 28 floors
5 Basemets parking+Lower ground floor+upper ground floor+21 floors over ground

duhh sania what did i say ...25 stories above ground... :nuts:

hello hi , i saw this model , like good but i don't no the price , bye janoo

^ janoo? :-S

:weirdo:

ya i also read on newspaper.huge kind of adevertisement of IT tower is going on different newspapers and tv channels like GEO,ARY etC
They also mentioned that front one shops and showrooms on ground floor has also booked by country leading mobile companies.Yaar I have also seen many huge advertisements as other companies in Lahore do.But, in adds they show the tower on the junction of two main dual-carriage ways. On the contrary, its located on the junction of two branch roads that are mere streets. This creates doubts about the organisation and their dealing with public.

hey asfar and sania.....i dont no how the hell u ppl count the floors, but groundfloor and floors above in count together so if there are 20 storey above the GF, that means the building is 21storeys.....n IT Tower is 21storeys with 4parking levels, lower ground in some case is considered in basements......itz not 25 or 28 storeys! cant u c it --> '21 STOREYS OF SUCCESS'......count the floor 'above ground' what we normally call the 'super structure' not with the basements which is the 'substructure'!

Lets all say thank you to our chief architect of Mehfil Pakistan Mr. Techno Architect!

Yaar, any counstruction updates to this project?

@Sania
Abt the animation they show on the channel, basically that is never 100% true, its made to attract the client with the beautiful animation effect lighting and rendering effects. So animations are mostly exaguration!! :)

hahahaha
not yet sir!! they will try to sell abt 40% of the commercial area before starting its excavation and foundation work. we hafto wait a little more fer this! but im sure once the construction gets started it will be swift cauz Urban Developers are well known companies and financially sound and IT tower is one of their mega projects, so i expect their pace of work is gonna b fast once it gets started!!

techno do u know by any chance how much of the commerical area has been sold already?

well construction will start on 15th may.its already mentioned by urban developers on newspapers

^ I saw the Advertisment on TV a few days back, looks pretty good.

It may be good looking, but its surrounding roads are very narrow, I doubt it will succeed. I hate the thought of going there!!!

well asfar u can get the info of the sold out areas from their office that is in the basment of hafeez centre!

the tower was launched while i was in lahore and there was alot of hype surronding it, brouchures could be found at every shop in the market and in peoples hands. it looks like a big hit.

techno im sitting in chicago right now...how can i go to the basement of hafeez center lolzzz... :)

cough cough!
:)

It may be good looking, but its surrounding roads are very narrow, I doubt it will succeed. I hate the thought of going there!!!

That's true! The site seems quite small aswell for such a project... it'll get crowd-ier after it's construction!

i went to the sales office today, they told me they have sold about 70% of the commercial area, and about 30-40% of the office area! The excavation is going to start in some 15days!

thanks for the info brother :)

Mubarik hoo!!
LOL ;)

i like the idea of that huge tv screen on the facade but would it be visable in such a narrow road.

what abt 38 story- plaza? construction started?

which plaza is that n whr is it>>>

which plaza is that n whr is it>>>

Its a tower on main boulevard which was approved in March 2005 at 412ft and then there was some news in Nawa-e-waqt later that year that TAMEER GROUP will construct a 38 storey tower on Main Boulevard but no official word has come in yet.

I have just checked the exact location on IT tower on their advertised map posted here on this thread.I agree with you guys that the location is really weird.Its a gali (street) behind PACE. and this area is JAM-Packed most of the times.especially in the evenings.dont know if their basement parking will change the situation.Because PACE and Hafeez centre's parking is not even a quarter of what is required in that area.

well hafeez center parking is not for there customers its only for shop owners . no one can park there car in there basment utnil your are shop owner or worker

pace always has plenty of space in its car park.

Hafiz center is total shit!

They should tear it down and build this instead in its place.

well i dont agree with pakboy pace has only one parking floor which is always full you hardly get parking in these two plazas. authority must do something about hafeez and pace.

I disagree as well.PACE has one of the most smallish and pathetic parking spaces.I ,for one, never got to park there in evening.maybe if you go early in the morning you'll get parking space.
infact we shouldnt be discussing this, ANYONE who has beento PACE area in evening knows what a mess of traffic is that zone.

well i always find parking in pace, maybe the ground parking is always full but there is many spaces underground.

I disagree aswell... Pace has one of the shittiest parking place (the one that is underground). Hafeez Centre is a mess aswell - and since past couple of years, they don't allow non-shop owners to park their cars inside. I'm waiting for Jeff Heights to be completed - will park my car there if it's parking is any good.

I have'nt been to PACE in the last 6 months just because I can't find a place to park, the situation there is always chaotic.

its strange how pakboy can find parking iam living in lahore for 15 years and from last 2-3 years i cant find parking in pace easily.

well when i was in lahore i use to go to pace 3-4 times weekly and put my car in there basement all the time, but i agree the car park is f'ed up, the ceiling nearly touches a jeeps top.
but the overground parking is cool but always booked,

you could always park in chenone is well.

Everyone just drop it!

stop it guys! we all know what parkin in pace is like! so whats the ROLA about?
let pakboy enjoy the FREE and EMPTY car parks all around and under PACE.

Anyone, who flames after this post will be suspended for 2 days.

Dont try me!

What abt 38-story tower in Gulberg? U/C or just a vision. Surprising that a huge building has not been yet advertised even name id not confirmed. Whats the matter?

^^

May be they don't have to advertise, it might be a hotel tower or could be a corporate tower (highly unlikely but who knows). BTW its 33 Storey + 5 Basements.

is it under-construction? whre? near Pace?

21-storey IT Tower’s groundbreaking held



The Post Report


LAHORE: Ground-breaking for the 21-storey IT Tower in Gulberg was held Saturday, which was attended by government officials, MPAs and local and foreign investors.

Urban Developers Chairman Mian Tahir Javed and Chief Executive Riaz Ahmed Chauhan had specially invited members of British parliament Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar and Shahid Malik to attend the ceremony. Chaudhry Sarwar was the chief guest on the occasion. Speaking on the occasion, Punjab Information Technology Minister Abdul Aleem Khan said such projects were necessary to boost the construction industry. “These projects not only create new jobs but also attract foreign investment in the country,” he added. Industrialist Ishtiaq Baig said high-rise buildings like IT Tower would bring about prosperity in the country.

^^ It'll be only 200 ft tall, expect extremely low ceilings.

any updates on this project

they are working on the foundations of the building, quite a big hole has already been dug up.. work is in progress....

is this project is approved by the SC

is this project is approved by the SC

Ifti will let nothing be built, if he can help it.

By the way, those of us who said bad things about Ifti should go back and edit our posts as Ifti is baaack, and he ain't in a good mood.

Wow! Nice pics! :yes:

From the third picture it seems like there will be atleast 3 cores! Nice pics Ranaaaaaa!:cheers:

Good work :okay:

So now there are two IT parks in the making in lahore :banana:

Wow! Great news. Thanks Rana! :happy:

Will this have underground parking? Looks deep enough to make me think those are the 5 parking floors underground.

it is thought to be complete in 2008.............but they are still digging for basment.....mean 2 more years
:bash:

Yes i also think that they are digging it for basement parking floors coz if there is no parking floor in IT TOWER then it will be a mess there as there is at HAFEEZ CENTER .



:bowtie: thanx all

it is thought to be complete in 2008.............but they are still digging for basment.....mean 2 more years
:bash:

Do you have any confirmed source that it was to be completed in 2008?

Btw, part of the delay is because our judges/courts halted all ongoing projects in lahore for quite sometime.

The project will be completed in 3 years from now! Thats is the deadline im giving!

yes when the project was launched 2 years ago they had garenteed delivery in 2 years, but 2 years have passed and they only have a big hole in the ground.

the same drama baazi they did with air aveneu, central park, silicon valley, midland houses and now there new project apartments in AA.

they even had a grand lauch and super aggressive marketing capaign at the lauch of the tower and fooled people and were sold out in less then 3 weeks, they just took the money and started new projects.

I remember there advertisement campaign in which they said that they had sold all shops and 17 floors out of 21 are already taken by multinational companies.Now we are seeing this a huge hole.Hope to see some good development there in the future.

nice updates rana jee...!!

Sixty four feet deep excavation support system for five basements of the 24-storey IT Tower, owned by the Urban Developers, has been completed. This is one of the deepest excavation support systems ever constructed in Lahore. It comprises 96 ft long and 2 ft diameter soldier piles spaced at 3.5 ft c/c and 6 inches diameter grouted anchors at 3.5 ft c/c in five rows. Presently, the placement of lean concrete for mat foundation is in progress. The construction of excavation support system has been designed and supervised by NESPAK and all the standards of quality construction as per Federal Highway Administration, USA, have been ensured.

Its a bit old news ( older than rana's pics) but still interesting. :cheers:

Why is it soooo deep? Even SZC and Centaurus aren't anywhere near this deep. Is it got to do with the soil? Maybe the hard rock was found much deeper.

any paticular reason they decided to make so many basements?

The place is very crowded, you never get parking around that area.... I guess thats why.

The place is very crowded, you never get parking around that area.... I guess thats why.

thats not what i meant. isnt it cheaper to build above ground as opposed to too many basements?? ive gotton the impression from the people here who know about construction that the costs increase considerably as you dig down more and more.

amongst other things, is the aesthetics... you want to have a reception at the ground floor rather than a parking lot (same goes for lower floors) and lower floors, particularly in pakistan, are reserved for commercial use as is the case here. Although they look hideous (to me atleast), its a sort of a financial guarantee to the builders since shops are more readily sold than office spaces.

Also, you need to dig for your foundations to a bed rock anyway so why not utilize it as basements.

ive seen buildings in chicago that have reception on the first floor and then parking from 2nd to whatever floor. obviously you will take the elevator from the lobby to your floor so asthetically the building looks normal.

do they always need to dig down so deep to lay a foundation? the Mabarak building's foundations looks less deep and considering it is taller, it would be exerting a lot more weight onto the ground.

as i said in my post, its got commercial area in the first few floors (check the render on page 1).

i dnt even think they will be allowed 5 basements unless they make fire exists on them cause alamgir tower got penilised for haveing 3 basements

NESPAK has it as 24Fl while Urban developers have it at 21Fl.... different methods of counting floor or has it been revised? :dunno:

you saw this for the first time? :nuts:

Actually those red/yellow/etc ribbon-type things is making it look cheap.

I like the ribbons, but this is the gaudiest building ever!

Also, what's with the plasma screen? Who the hell came up with that?!

the tower looks so smooth i feel like eating it.

Since when did Pace move to opposite the Hafeez Center? I always thought it was opposite to the location of where this IT tower will be built. I know Pace was burnt down, so maybe they moved it's location to opposite the Hafeez center because of this? Someone care to explain?

I found an old post by Brighty and it seems as if he was spot on about the depth of the building being 5 floors underground.

Will this have underground parking? Looks deep enough to make me think those are the 5 parking floors underground.

Yeah, I also saw them. There's one under each ribbon.

@trappy, these ribbons (forgetting their real name) so look classy. Only that everywhere else they are INSIDE, not outside where there's wind. Go anywhere, and you'll see them.

This design sucks... I felt like vomiting after seeing it. The crown-type thing at the top and awkward additional designs are making it ugly. If they had kept it simple It would have been better. It is still good if they remove extra ugly things like that crown and metal designs.

Its look like a big play land for a childrens :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:

I guess (other factors not disturbing), work should speed up after Ramadan.

Nice pics rania!


kbboy,
why would work slow down in Ramadan?

why u ask like stupid question. it is work slow during the ramadan. duration of the work is less then as compare to normal routine.

:sly:

Thanks GOD that they are working on good pace

"Photobucket" is not an option on this site like "quote" or "post reply". Its a site in itself which allows you to upload photos. Just click on the link provided by FK and follow the easy steps to uploading photos, you'll get the hang of it, in no time.

Pervaiz govt stopped IT Tower construction: spokesman
Saturday, November 29, 2008
By Our Correspondent

LAHORE

A SPOKESMAN of the Punjab government has reminded Ch. Pervaiz Elahi that the Chinese company engaged in the construction of IT Tower had stopped the project before the present governmentís coming into power due to the impractical nature of the agreement signed by the ex-CM.

Moreover, the construction of a huge building in the middle of the city would have been of no use to the IT sector. He said it seemed that the project was aimed at the real estate business rather than the promotion of IT sector. He said that IT parks were set up world over on large areas so that they could be expanded for future needs.

The spokesman said Ch. Pervaiz Elahi’s statement that the efforts of the Punjab government to attract foreign investment had failed, was perhaps motivated by his own experience. He said the planning and focus with which Punjab Chief Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif undertook the visit had resulted in far greater success than Ch. Pervaiz Elahi could imagine.

He said that the Singaporean experts had left the project after Ch. Pervaiz Elahi’s government had failed to control the law and order and the former CM was trying to hide his own failures. He said that the Chinese experts had made all the payments for the contracts signed during the tenure of the last government. However, due to non-feasibility of the project, the cost of expenditure of Chinese company had increased tremendously. Consequently, the Chinese companies had to make request for more funds from the government, he added.

The spokesman said that the Punjab Chief Minister in view of Sino-Pak friendship, had assured the chairman of the Chinese company that the Punjab government would extend all-out help to him upon which he had reposed full confidence in the Chief Minister, left the issue to the discretion of the chief minister, assuring him that any decision of the Punjab government would be acceptable to the Chinese government.

The spokesman said that by using such terms as rage and wrath, Ch. Pervaiz Elahi had shown a highly irresponsible attitude which did not suit a senior politician like him. He said that the Punjab government was still trying to cope with the administrative and financial mess created during the previous government.

He said the assertion that the Chinese company had registered a claim for Rs one billion and fifteen crore was totally baseless and concocted as no such case was being heard in any court. He said as far as setting up of IT Park was concerned, it was totally against the statement of Ch. Pervaiz Elahi.

He said that the Punjab government and Shenzen government had not only agreed to the setting up of IT Park but the mayor of Shenzen X.UZU Zong Hong during the luncheon gave the task of drafting of an MOU by Chinese experts and the Punjab government, which was signed by the representatives of both the governments. He said that it showed the seriousness of Shenzen government in the project.

The spokesman expressed the hope that Ch. Pervaiz Elahi would look into facts before issuing such statements and, instead of negative criticism, show a positive attitude.
