[Prishtina] Skyscraper District || Projects & Updates

There is a new approved regulation plan for the outdated large ex-industrial zone in the center of Prishtina, called Lakrishte - which now has become regulated for multistory mixed-use highrises/skyscrapers. Implementation of this regulation plan started in 2008.


The area in Lakrishte has a surface of 58,64 hectare (586.400 m2). The land planned for construction of mixed-use multistory buildings is 435.294 m2. 151.078 m2 will be roads/infrastructure.... In addition to the hotels, office space, retail units and entertainment facilities planned for this mixed-use area, 5342 appartments units will be built as well.

This first post will be updated eventually as more projects appear

"Prishtina's Little Manhattan"

In the article further down: officials confirm that 5 companies has received planning permitions ("ENK", "Investitors Group", "Dajti", "Olti Trasing" and "Melihate Jusufi"), and will receive building permits as soon as their projects are harmonised with the regulation plan - and after they have paid the building permit fees. Officials say that some of these are expected to start construction this spring..

Officials confirm that the zone of Lakrishte according to the Regulation Plan - is planned for "mix-use" highrises, and skyscrapers over 40 floors are also allowed in this zone.

The second one looks great

:applause::okay:

I believe there will be many more highrise projects for Prishtina:cheers:

i hope so.... but the most important thing is - that skyscrapers are allowed, and thats a relief... And it is especially encouraging when an entire zone like Lakrishte is regulated and planned to consist of highrises...:cheers:

Yeah, it seems that there is plenty of space to build there.

Nice, a skyscraper district sounds great. Can't wait to see more proposals in the future. :cheers:

I made a map, to clearly illustrate which area we are talking about:

Red: Lakrishte
Blue: WTC site


http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x229/mamani_ks/Lakrishte.jpg

lol
what is this mania around European journalists, whenever a highrise or two is planned, they immediately compare it to Manhattan, of all places!
From Paris to Sofia, and apparently now even Pristina, can't these journalists find a better analogy?
Some Bulgarian journalists tried to be more creative, but they used Dubai. Which might be even dumber! :bash:

I laughed my ass off over this too.:lol: Hey, don't forget Manhattan-ul Bucureştean or Bucharester Manhattan.:nuts:

I laughed my ass off over this too.:lol: Hey, don't forget Manhattan-ul Bucureştean or Bucharester Manhattan.:nuts:

yeah lol you cant compare a few midrise buildings with manhattan lol....but i think our media is following north american media footsteps. They tend to dramatize things now days.

In anycase i think these projects are humangous for Prishtina.

I laughed my ass off over this too.:lol: Hey, don't forget Manhattan-ul Bucureştean or Bucharester Manhattan.:nuts:

Its obviously just a tool for exaggeration.... and if you want people to think about skyscrapers, manhattan is the best illustrative example - because everyone knows how it looks like.....

However, what would be really stupid, is if a part of the city/or a project actually was named something with "manhattan" :lol: :lol:

OK here are some photos (theyre a little blurry though because I took them while driving)

Obviously something big is being constructed here, but we still dont know what. It would be cool if some of you guys located in Prishtina, could find out what is being constructed there...

In a recent article in New York Times about the challenges the Kosovar economy is facing, Ekrem Lluka owner of the "Dukagjini Group" spoke about the WTC complex he is going to build in Prishtina:


Even with the challenges, there are a few brave investors here. Ekrem Luka, the head of a sprawling conglomerate called Dukagjini that owns everything from breweries to a television station, said he planned to build a 23-story complex in downtown Pristina, complete with a 100-room hotel, three stories of shopping and private apartments.

“The business attraction of Kosovo is that we are starting at zero and need everything,” he said. “Exporters, importers, retailers, you name it.”

/New York Times


So, now we know the WTC complex will "only" have 23 floors..

It's not the floor capacity that matters but the actual height in inches and centimeters. You can build a 23 level building well above 100 meters.

It's not the floor capacity that matters but the actual height in inches and centimeters. You can build a 23 level building well above 100 meters.

its true what you say, which depends on the design and structure solutions... but usually, you can multiply an average of 4m with X-floors - and get a rough estimate on how tall the building might be... with this calculation the WTC complex will be around 92m tall.... So it would be reasonable to expect something between 90 - 100m...

But lets hope the rich bastard changes his mind, and adds a couple of extra floors :D

Raiffeisen to support a mega project in Kosovo

21.03.2008, 13:56
Raiffeisen to support a mega project in Kosovo

According to the Austrian newspaper "Wirtschaftsblatt", Raiffeisen Bank will support with loans a 250 Million EUR construction mega project in Prishtina, the capital city of Kosovo (photo).

The ENK Invest Group, owned by five local companies, has already started with the construction of the complex which includes offices, apartments, hotels and shopping malls. The complex, planned to be finished in 5 to 6 years, will offer over 285.000 square meters of floor space.

It is generally expected that the recent final solution of its political status, making Kosovo the youngest independent country in Europe, will increase the interest of foreign investors and will enable an economic boom in some sectors, such as construction.

^^:master: Thats really nice!

Raiffesen bank?

This is very good news if there's a big backer behind it

^^
Frankly if i were on raiffesein banks place i would never finance such a project,in an political unstable region,with high unemploymant and almost no economy,they have to be crazy,that investment is just too risky

I doubt Raiffesein bank doesn't read the news.
I'm sure they've weighed in their options, and found out that the region obviously must be lucrative for business.
Or they might have some escape clauses in the contracts, who knows

It' s not risky. There is no political instability. Yet. Kosovo has only one problem - there are still few serbs left. But who cares about them. The Big Guns created the state, now they are going to develop it's infrastructure and cities. After all, Kosovo is nothing without them.

^^Who are the big guns ?can i ask
and something else
why just after 89 bulgaria didnt exprience an investment and construction boom ,if the factors unemployment ,unstable econamy and so on arent of such matter

^^Who are the big guns ?can i ask
and something else
why just after 89 bulgaria didnt exprience an investment and construction boom ,if the factors unemployment ,unstable econamy and so on arent of such matter

Because nobody gave a flying f** about Bulgaria. Kosova is considered as the west's "baby" and they'll do anything they can to make it work.

Frankly if i were on raiffesein banks place i would never finance such a project,in an political unstable region,with high unemploymant and almost no economy,they have to be crazy,that investment is just too risky

and thats the reason you are not their financial advisor. There are 17000 NATO troops in Kosova. There is a huge military base called Boondsteel and nobody can do anything to Kosova. The Serbs aren't that stupid to try that.

Hm, why not?

But unfortunately, I don't think that Kosovo has a bright economic future. At least in the few years to come. It's still very much connected to Serbia in terms of foreign trade, infrastructure, etc. Yes, the west will help that country, but IMO there will be some kind of a shock. This is normal for any country that experiences a drastic change BTW.

As for the skyscraper city, I find it very interesting, but unfortunately it's very much endangered by the real estate crisis going on throughout USA and Europe. Even Bulgaria is already experiencing it and for new risk investments, especially in politically unstable regions this could be fatal.

Anyway, I hope this gets build. Pristina deserves that, being a capital of a new country.

Frankly if i were on raiffesein banks place i would never finance such a project,in an political unstable region,with high unemploymant and almost no economy,they have to be crazy,that investment is just too risky

obviously they thought it's not too much of a risky investment or was your bigotry talking for you? thanks for the comments either way mr. donald trump.

Because nobody gave a flying f** about Bulgaria. Kosova is considered as the west's "baby" and they'll do anything they can to make it work.



and thats the reason you are not their financial advisor. There are 17000 NATO troops in Kosova. There is a huge military base called Boondsteel and nobody can do anything to Kosova. The Serbs aren't that stupid to try that.

Sorry man, but what are you talking about? The reason Bulgaria didn't experience an investement boom after the fall of communism had to do with the fact that there were many other Eastern European countries "introduced" to the world. It had nothing to do with the West not giving a fuck about Bulgaria or giving a fuck about Kosovo. Raiffasen is a private company. It will continue investing in Kosovo if it thinks will make money, not if Kosovo is the darling of the West or not. Going back to Bulgaria in 89, there were other Eastern European countries which were in a better position and which provided the same level of rerturn. Places like Hungary and Czech Republic come to mind. I visited both Bulgaria and Hungary in 1990 and the differences between the two were visible even to a 7 yr old child. That's the reason why Bulgaria didn't experience a investment boom right away and Kosovo might today.

INSANE!!!:master::master::master::master:

What am I taking about? I'm talking about the fact that the US and EU are working to help Kosova and it's economy get on its feet, due to the fact that they were the main "sponsors" of Kosova's independence. The fact that there is a huge NATO presence in the areas also helps alot assuring foreign investors that their investment will be safe. If you think that this is not one of the main reasons that foreign investors are investing in Kosova then you're delusional. It is true that nobody cared about Bulgaria and the rest of Eastern Europe. The economic systems changed and everyone knew the transition would not be easy. However in Kosova things are different. They've laid a foundation in the last 9 years which will help things move faster, much faster than the ex-communist countries of EE in 1990s.

So you think of the EU and the USA as some kind of babysitters? Oh God, I think this delusion will soon come to a bitter end. It's very simple, if you don't help yourself, noone will do it for you. There was this common misbelief that somehow, mysteriously, the West would solve all our problems itself just because we moved out of the socialist block and this happened in all EE countries, unfortunately we as well as the Romanians were some years late to understand it.

Anyway, that's a long story. I'm just stunned by the fact that someone may fall into thinking the same stupid shit nowadays. As if there were not enough bad examples to take into consideration.

There's nothing to be delusional about. I never said they were going to solve our problems. Learn to read before opening your mouth.

I don't get why Kosovo should be underestimated. I've read that the land there is rich of valuable raw materials. Greece are now trying to bribe EU to use the 30 years concession over some coal mines signed with Milosevic years ago in exchange of Kosovo's recognition .... I think if kosovars use wisely the treasures their land keeps they have bright future. :cheers:

In fact I opened my mouth just to gulp some beer while writing the post :)

But you wrote that:
I'm talking about the fact that the US and EU are working to help Kosova and it's economy get on its feet
...and that sounds weird :)

Hey, I'm not gonna spoil that idilic mindset anymore though :) Enough said (ops...written) :)

What's soo wierd about that? Aren't a couple billions of euros considered "help"?

Of course it is considered "help". It just depends by whom - the political/business 'elite', by some foreign consultants working on some project, by the banks that make opportunist contracts or finally the people of Kosovo. Don't get me wrong - I'm not at all one of those anti-Kosovo pro-Serbian haters. In fact I support independant Kosovo and I hope it will eventually become a prospering country. However I don't like the opportunity of having Kosovo the economic blackhole of the world. And that "they_are_obliged_to_help" attitude is really frightening to me.

Instead of this "they_are_going_to_give_us_blalbla_money_to_help" I'd prefer some news about future economic plans, concrete measures to battle corruption and unemployment, some ideas to gain foreign investments (like tax policies, etc).

Most countries in Africa rely on foreign help since decades BTW. Don't you think they deserve it more than Kosovo? You don't have 30% HIV-positive population, starving to death.

^^ bgrs, did you had the chance to watch "Corridor #8" movie last week on SFF ? It was quite educatuonal about those parts of the Balkans.

has already started with the construction of the complex which :banana:includes offices, apartments, hotels and shopping malls. The complex, planned to be finished in 5 to 6 years:ohno:

5 -6 years is an awful lot of time... but if you look at the only render we have currently, you will see that it is not just a tall skyscraper... the project has another separate tower too (although lower than the main one), plus some other lowrise buildings, probably from 5 to over 10 floors.. My guess would be it will be built in different phases to ensure profits and reduce the risks..

^^

Even though I believe that this project will not be realized (not saying that in later years Prishtina will not have other such great projects, but for this project I simply think it is speculation)...I would love to see Kosovo/a go forward...whether as an independent state or Serbian province...we finally have to have strong states in the Balkans that fight each other on the basis of economical growth and popular wellness, and not over churches and mosques

Congratulations for the boost of good news about large projects that Prishtina has seen in the last month, hopefully all of them will be realized...if not, the future is in front of us :cheers:

Here is the article from the austrian "Wirtschafts Blatt" in german, a newspaper about business & investments:


Raiffeisen bei 250-Mio.-€-Projekt in Pristina dabei


Pristina. Nur 50 Kilometer südlich der Krisenregion rund um Mitro vica im Norden Kosovos, nämlich in der Hauptstadt Pristina, wird bereits heftig investiert: Die kosovarische Firma ENK Invest Group, im Eigentum von fünf lokalen Unternehmern, plant einen Büro-, EKZ- und Wohnkomplex im Zentrum von Pristina um stolze 250 Millionen€ zu bauen. Auf einem 26.000 Quadratmeter großen Grundstück soll insgesamt 285.000 Bruttonutzfläche entstehen - geplant sind Bürotürme, Einkaufscenter, Wohnungen, ein Hotel und Garagen.

Nach Angaben von ENK-Miteigentümer Edmond Krliu wird bei dem Projekt die Raiffeisenbank die Hauptkreditgeberin sein. Auf WirtschaftsBlatt-Anfrage wollte Krliu die Kredithöhe aber nicht näher beziffern, für das Projekt werden aber noch Co-Investoren gesucht, so Krliu. Auch Raiffeisen Kosovo-Chef Oliver J. Whittle wollte "über Kundenbeziehungen" nicht mit Medien sprechen.

Umtriebiger Investor

Gerüchteweise soll Raiffeisen selbst eines der zu bauenden Gebäude beziehen, nämlich ein 5400 Quadratmeter grosses Bürohaus. Krliu: "Wir haben darüber mit Raiffeisen gesprochen, aber noch ist nichts fix." Die Bauarbeiten haben begonnen, der gesamte Komplex soll in fünf bis sechs Jahren fertig sein, sagt Krliu. Das Gebäudekomplex soll das neue Wahrzeichen der Kosovo-Hauptstadt Pristina werden, die ja mit modernen Büros, Wohnungen und Hotels nicht gerade gesegnet ist.

Der in Mazedonien geborene Unternehmer ist in Österreich durchaus kein Unbekannter: Als sich die Telekom Austria Anfang 2007 um eine Mobilfunklizenz in der ehemaligen südserbischen Provinz bemühte, wurde sie vor Ort von Krliu vertreten. Krliu hat weiters Beteiligungen an einer Handvoll Firmen vor Ort, darunter im Bereich Medikamente-Einkauf und Polyethylen-Verarbeitung. Die ENK Invest Group hat fünf Aktionäre, außer Krliu sind das vier aus Albanien stammende Unternehmer.

Raiffeisen war im Kosovo ein "Early Mover": Die Bank wurde im November 2001 zunächst als American Bank of Kosovo gegründet, seit 2003 gehört sie zur Gänze dem Raiffeisen-Konzern. Heute ist die Bank die zweitgrößte Kommerzbank in dem seit Kurzem von Serbien abgespaltenen Land, das rund zwei Millionen Einwohner zählt.

I was just there two weeks ago. Aside from the unrest in Mitrovica, you wouldnt even know you are in Kosovo if you are a westerner. It was completely safe in the rest of Kosovo.

you wouldnt even know you are in Kosovo

and how would you know that you are in Kosovo? :D

and how would you know that you are in Kosovo? :D

lol

well what i meant is that, for example i live in Canada, and the media here is just like in the US. They dramatize things. For example during the first week of independence, there would be headlines such as "Kosovo Chaos" and what not. People get the wrong idea when they see such headlines. But if you were to read that news and then actually go to Kosovo, you are in disbelief, because everything is quiet normal. Aside from that, there are coutnless indicators that yes, you indeed ARE in Kosovo. :)

and how would you know that you are in Kosovo? :D

Both articles say the construction have started yet you state doubt this would be realized, do you even read the article itself or just the headline and rely on your instinct since its location is Kosova it can't happen? Plz enlighten me why it is a "speculation".

"Republika KosovA" :cheers:

and in english - republic of kosovO
it is clear...even in the territory you speak of the signs say what i am telling you is correct..

The grammatical form of the word Kosova is wrong in the first place. It's the definite form of the country's name.
The correct saying is Kosovë. When you say Kosova you're basically saying The Kosovo.

You could have a point there. I'm not too famliar with albanian grammar myself, but i know for Republic of Macedonia some people say "Republike në Maqedonise" , which some people debate is grammatically incorrect

It would be Republika e Maqedonisë.
Letter "ë" is placed after each indefinite noun. Letter "a" is placed after the female definite noun and letter "i" or "u" are placed after the male one.
Country names are always written in their indefinite form.

ProMKD and TIAL, how about some courtesy around this place?
Or putting each other on ignore list

The correct saying is Kosovë. When you say Kosova you're basically saying The Kosovo.

Oh really? You're saying that we can't use Kosova? So how do you ask this question in Albanian then?

"Where is Kosovo?"

"Ku është Kosovë?" or "Ku është Kosova?" Yeah, that's what I thought.

"Ku është Kosovë?" or "Ku është Kosova?" Yeah, that's what I thought.


That's not what i'm saying.
What i'm saying is that you cant use the word Kosova as a country in an english sentence. It's grammatically incorrect.

Either way Kosova does not mean "the Kosovo."

It's whatever english word you wanna use with "The" added in front of it

Either way Kosova does not mean "the Kosovo."
7t is right. Kosova means "The Kosovo" and sounds wrong when used in an English sentence.

In Albanian, Kosova (English: The Kosovo) is the definitive of Kosovë (English: Kosovo).

7t is right. Kosova means "The Kosovo" and sounds wrong when used in an English sentence.

In Albanian, Kosova (English: The Kosovo) is the definitive of Kosovë (English: Kosovo).

No it doesn't. Where the hell did you guys learn your grammar? As I said before you can't say in Albanian "Ku eshte Kosove?" but you say "Ku eshte Kosova?" and that doesnt mean "Where is the Kosovo?" it means "Where is Kosovo?" as simple as that. Those rules do no apply to countries or cities.

the correct sayin is Kosova since in Albanian all the countries of the world have names that end with A like Gjermania, Anglia, Suedia, Australia, Amerika, Kanada etc...

What are you guys arguing for? In Albanian Kosovo cannot be said, cause you can't say "une jam nga kosovoja"...edhe njerzit e kosoves jan kosovar edhe jo kosovor.

Kosova is like saying Shqiperia. Megjithese emri i vertet i kosoves eshte dardani

No it doesn't. Where the hell did you guys learn your grammar? As I said before you can't say in Albanian "Ku eshte Kosove?" but you say "Ku eshte Kosova?" and that doesnt mean "Where is the Kosovo?" it means "Where is Kosovo?" as simple as that. Those rules do no apply to countries or cities.
lol I know that. My point was that it is wrong when one uses Kosova in an English sentence, while Kosovo is right. Using the former is akin to using the word "Shqiperia" in English sentences.

please, cut the crap...:nuts:

It would be Republika e Maqedonisë.
Letter "ë" is placed after each indefinite noun. Letter "a" is placed after the female definite noun and letter "i" or "u" are placed after the male one.

-Question, doesn't Republika e Maqedonisë mean Macedonian Republic? I think there may be a better wording for it. Wouldn't it be Republika e Maqedon?
PS i dont speak albanian very much.. so don't hate me :lol:

@ Lokiqi, no, not all countries of the world end in "A" in albanian..

republika e maqedon makes no sense. republika e maqedonise means republic of macedonia, if you want to say macedonian republik, you sa republika maqedonase.

and yes in English it is kosovo.

-Question:

@ Lokiqi, no, not all countries of the world end in "A" in albanian..


Of course you are right on this one, the majority but not all end in "A", for example: Mali, Burundi, Ekuador, Brazil, Mali i Zi (Montenegro) etc etc

Excellent stuff

Some facts about the project - how I understood them from the bosnian article through the online translator (please correct if I'm wrong):



1. Height: The biggest tower will be 165 metres tall
2. Presentation: 17. April in 10 days from now (?), we will have an official presentation of the project, where also Government & Municipality officials, investors, banks, contractors etc. - will be present.
3. Finance: The project will cost 250 million Euro, "IFC" will finance the project with a 75 million euro credit, Raiffeisen Bank will finance it with 15 million euro - the rest will be financed by "ENK Invest Group".


:cheers:

I like this project! It's very cool!

its truly amazing... A massive project like this will certainly put Prishtina on the map :D

looks great

strange how theres no news about this one in croatian media yet.

konstruktor is a big company especially in infrastructure (bridges, roads) - some references here (under "services")

http://www.konstruktor-split.hr/Default.aspx?alias=www.konstruktor-split.hr/en

cant get why those punks dont build something similar here in croatia, 100+ meters around here... no way

EDIT:
I found the news in Split based daily Slobodna Dalmacija (in Croatian)

http://www.slobodnadalmacija.hr/Biznis/tabid/69/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/3043/Default.aspx


Briefly: It says the contract is not signed yet (Edmond Krliu should come to Split tomorrow, April 8), it will be financed by ENK Invest Group in coop with 4 co-investors from Albania. It should take 6 yrs to complete it. The presentation of the project should be in Pristina April 17

^^ This project has been posted here some weeks ago.. First there was an article from albanian Gazeta Express, then german "Wirtschafts Blatt", then ECIKS and now recently this bosnian news agency..Today is the first time i hear of Croatian "Konstruktor" to be involved... :cheers:

Could you please do me a favour and translate this below (from the bosnian article)? The online translator I used, doesnt translate everything :D

Desetak dana kasnije (17. travnja) u Prištini je planirana glavna prezentacija projekta, izjavio je za “Slobodnu Dalmaciju” Krliu. Prezentaciji će, među ostalima, biti nazočni članovi kosovske Vlade i predstavnici grada Prištine, te gosti iz Hrvatske.

The text is about that presentation that should take place in Pristina April 17 - it says that members of Kosovo government and guests from Croatia will attend it too.

great project indeed....hopefully it gets realized, we will see what happens on April 17th. :)

Cool... the first big-scale private investment cooperation between Albania and Kosovo :cheers:

so if each floor is 3 meters high, this building would be 55 stories tall. Thats quiet big actually?

How tall is the twist tower in Sarajevo, anyone knows?

as far as i know, in most cases you can multiply 4m with each floor, and get an approximate height of a building ... The tallest structure of the complex, should be somewhere between 40 - 45 floors.. And this correlates with a rough counting of the floors from the renderings.. 165 m is amazing :cheers:




EDIT: The article from the croatian newspaper Zanovijetalo posted above, says that the tallest tower will have 42 floors..

By the way, Twist Tower in Sarajevo is 40 floors and 162 m tall... That means; 3m shorter than this one :D


EDIT: Actually the Twist Tower is 40 floors and 140m tall. It is 163m tall with the antenna...

I wonder... Who is the architect?

It is really great project....I heard that are some more to come. One is mention here about WTC...so we hope in 10 years time to have a picture of Pristina as great city. I have no doub about that.

About the comments that Kosovo has no future and for wrong investement.I will add some ditails.
The privatisation process in Kosovo went better than most of contries in Eastern Europe. Around 1000 companies has been sold, 70% bought by local investitors.

Kosovo is very rich with minerals, it is considered one of the richies countires with minerals.

The render for Kosovo C power plant will be put soon and Kosovo will be become exploator for energetic.

Kosovo in agricultule can do great since the have two big field. Produce all goods, Dukagjini region is well known for vinery.

500 000 Albanians lives abroad that only as chash every year send in Kosovo around 1 billion dollars.

Presence of International community is estimated around 30 000.

Conference for donation to Kosovo will be organized in June by USA and EU.

The administrative and legal sistem was putted on place by international community, with international standards.

Kosovo without beeing indipendent had made own budget of 1.3 billion euros. Now is state the new doors will be open.

And Kosovo has only 2 million inhabitants.

These are facts for Kosovo better future. It is good that investors they know the reality in the ground, becouse they are there.....

Slow down Kosova...you're making us look bad :)

Says the guy who can't even spell his nick properly;)
Take mine and Genci's advice on this one:)

It's Kosova and i'm not going to take advice from an albanian calling another albanian a gypsy. Thats like calling another albanian terrorist because most of the country is muslim even if you happen to be a christian albanian. I don't know you might even be a serb

We are making progress... great news guys!

Rumours are, the architect is Astrit Nixha, founder of a Prishtina based architectural & engineering studio : www.anarch.biz


If this is true, it would be amazing news... To have local architects design such a magnificent complex :cheers:

That would be completely insane. And if it is Astrit Nixha, then to be honest i didn't even know that we have such a good architects.

This would be by far the most impressive building I have ever seen planned in both Kosovo and Albania.

But they shouldn't put Alitalia's logo there since it's on the brink of bankruptcy.

Totally agree :cheers2: ...and most importantly, from the information I have so far the complex seems to be designed by an albanian architect...

Since Alitalias logo is there, they are probably going to be one of the tenants... If they go bankrupt, then too bad for them :D

Very cool!

Eshte i njohur ne Kosove arkitekti i lartpermendur Astrit Nixha?

Siti i tyre eshte i lezetshem!

You know what would ne cool, if they placed the diffferent buildings across the street from each other. The two towers in the middle and the others across the street. It would then become a whole new downtown area.

Duket studio shume e mire. A keni pasur ndonjehere kontakt me ta?

^^ Read the first post ;)

I always read newest posts. :D

This project is AMAZING. I can't wait to see it come to life.

Like all those other projects that were realized. :lol:

This is what, the 1000th drawing of some great new Kosovo project that's been posted on this forum? And how many of them have been built so far? Zero.

yes but this is the project with the best renders yet.


we might be skeptical as always, but for once, in the Balkans, we have some good architecture being proposed, so that is great news in itself

Like all those other projects that were realized. :lol:

What r u talking about? Have u been to Prishtina.In Prishtina are construction going on in many many places. How do u know that most of projects are not implemented. How do u think Prishtina looks like?

U have to go and see and make comments? In Prishtina are probably 7-8 areas that construction is going on non-stop......

Dude is thats true why you don't bother to post few fotos from contruction areas.

Very beautiful! I hope the planned skyscraper district will create an impressive skyline within the next 10 years. The Balkans are thirsty for these kinds of modern architectural and infrastructural developments. :)

It will start constructions this friday :

The location of this magnificent complex, could not possibly be any better than this :cheers2:

Like all those other projects that were realized. :lol:

This is what, the 1000th drawing of some great new Kosovo project that's been posted on this forum? And how many of them have been built so far? Zero.

First of all, why dont you tell everyone on this forum that you are a serb - and that you wouldn't want such a great complex to be built in Prishtina :lol: I sense jealousy...:nuts:


Second of all, you dont have any idea of how much construction activity there is in Kosovo in general... The projects posted in this forum, don't even represent 25% of what's going on out there ;)

yes but this is the project with the best renders yet.


we might be skeptical as always, but for once, in the Balkans, we have some good architecture being proposed, so that is great news in itself


yes, and not only that, but this is one of the few times when mega projects gets posted on this forum, and we have exact infos about the project, such as:

- finance
- construction start and estimated construction time
- owners
- location
- contractors
- price/cost
- size
- building specifics such as how many floors, how many square meters, height...
- proffesional renders
etc.


Suspicious projects which seem unrealistic - dont present to you so many detailed facts... And the most recent news from today, says the project inauguration and construction start - will happen on Friday, this week (while a croatian newspaper says Thursday).. :cheers2:

Ooh this news is very cool. Kam degju se projekti do te prezantohet ne publik enjten apo jo?

Me falni per injorancen, po ku do ndertohet kjo? Te katrori i kuq?

Me falni per injorancen, po ku do ndertohet kjo? Te katrori i kuq?

Po, te katrori i kuq..

Wow construction starts Friday? Thats so quick! Prishtina is keeping busy :cheers:

actually, its not that fast... it will take over 5 years to finish this thing...

^^ I know, but I meant since we heard about this project till the day construction starts, its relatively fast.

yeah, thats pretty impressive... we heard about this project just over a month ago.. but over 5 years in estimated completion time for this complex - is an awful lot of time... I wish they could construct this skyscraper faster ...

On the other hand, during this 5 year period, I expect more highrises/skyscrapers to begin construction in this area..

Konstruktor gradi poslovno-stambeni objekt na Kosovu

Projekt je vrijedan 250 milijuna eura i ovoga je trenutka najveći investicijski zahvat na Kosovu

Splitska građevinska tvrtka Konstruktor u četvrtak će s kosovskom tvrtkom ENK Invest Group u Prištini potpisati ugovor o gradnji poslovno-stambenog objekta, priopćeno je iz Hrvatske gospodarske komore. Projekt izgradnje ovog poslovno-stambenog kompleksa površine oko 300 tisuća metara kvadratnih vrijedan je 250 milijuna eura i ovoga je trenutka najveći investicijski zahvat na Kosovu. “Konstruktor” za glavnog izvođača nije odabran natječajem već na preporuku HGK.

Ugovor će potpisati predsjednik uprave Konstruktora Željko Žderić i direktor ENK Invest Grupe Edmond Krliu. Potpisivanju i prezentaciji će nazočiti predsjednik Kosova Fatmir Sejdiu, premijer Kosova Hashim Taci s cjelokupnom Vladom, šef UNIMKA Joachim Ruecker, predstavnici EU institucija, predsjednik HGK Nadan Vidošević sa suradnicima te Ilirjana Šehu, direktorica predstavništva HGK na Kosovu.

Anyone wants to translate....?

Wow what the f... Simply stunning

Base on information that I got, since im not in Pristina for the moment. Im in land of skyscrapers in Asia, so Im not in position to post any ongoing construction. But I was in February in Pristina and I saw how much construction is going on. Even I met one person from Norway before two days, he mention that he didnt recognize Prishtina since he been there in 2001.

The information is about WTC. Friend of mine told me that Dukagjini Group is moving Plastica building to new location. The construction is going on and to open the space for World Trande Centre.
It is suspected that construction of WTC to start in two months time and it will last 3 years.

^^ Good to hear... there are some guys here located in Prishtina, who can check that out and take some photos..

Dude is thats true why you don't bother to post few fotos from contruction areas.

My friend where r u from? And please in future dont call me dude.

Im not in Pristina in the moment. But if u know Pristina u can see many propsals here and u can know the areas.
International Village, New Pristina towards Hajvalia.
On the Pristina-Skopje highway are constructions non-stop.
In Emshir area-Lesna, and other apartaments.
In Sunny Hill area many apartaments block under constructions.
In Dragodane are many same buildings under constructions, many [posted here.
On the way to Podujevo and Fushe Kosove same..
Than Lakrishte area as mention here. Cathedral is ongoing, City Centre is still under construction etc etc......many things are posted here. If u dont know Pristina u cannot know where the constructions are ongoing...

edit:

^^ Wow its AMAZING, thanks for the pics :cheers:

Soon, this week, a really cool video presentation of the project will be made public... :cheers2:

Nënshkruhet kontrata për ndërtimin e kompleksit banesor afarist në “Lakërishte”, të Prishtinës

Në Prishtinë u nënshkrua sot kontrata ndërmjet kompanisë “ENK Invest” dhe kompanisë “Konstruktori” nga Kroacia, për ndërtimin e kompleksit banesor afarist në lagjen “Lakërishte” në kryeqytet. Projekti pritet të fillojë gjatë këtyre ditëve, ndërsa në tërësi do të përfundon pas 6 viteve, premtuan nënshkruesit e kontratës Edmond Kërliu i ENK-invest grup dhe Zhelko Zhderiq, drejtor i kompanisë ndërtuese “Konstruktori”, e Splitit.
Në një konference për media, të organizuar nga investitorët e këtij projekti, Edmond Kërliu, drejtor i “ENK Invest”, tha se ndihet i kënaqur për këtë investim që është duke u bërë në Kosovë. Sipas tij, ky është një ndër investimet më të mëdha që po bëhet në Kosovën e pas luftës.

Ndërsa në emër të kompanis’ “Konstruktori” nga Spliti, drejtori Zheljko Zhderiq tha se posaçërisht ndjehet i lumtur që kjo kontratë është e para që po realizohet pikërisht tani ndërmjet Kroacisë dhe shtetit të Kosovës

Ministri i Financave Ahmet Shala, ndërkaq, duke përshëndetur nënshkruesit e kësaj kontrate, tha se ky është një moment i veçantë emocional me mjaft porosi të qarta për atmosferën investuese në Kosovë.

Qeveria de Kosovës o t’i përkrahë këta investitorë dhe do të qëndrojë pranë tyre në evitimin e të gjitha pengesave qoftë burokratike, po ashtu edhe ato administrative, ka siguruar Shala.

Prezantimi e këtij projekti ndërtimor e ka bërë arkitekti dhe projektuesi i këtij objekti, Astrit Nixha, i cili tha se projekti do të përfundoj për 6 vjet, ndërsa realizohet në përputhje me planin urbanistik dhe në bashkëpunim me komunën e Prishtinës.

Përfaqësuesit e kompanive nënshkruese të këtij projekti i ka pritur sot edhe kryeministri i Kosovës, Hashim Thaçi.

RTKlive.com

e ka bërë arkitekti dhe projektuesi i këtij objekti, Astrit Nixha, Thats very good news.

Why didnt those RTK morons show this on the 19.30 tv news, but only on their website..!!

Well well, now this project is a sure thing... Its truly amazing, such a magnificent project will be built in Prishtina.. This will for sure pave the way for other big developments in the future years from other investors as well.. Congratulations to all albanian skyscraper fanatics.. The contract is now signed, and construction works will start immediately :cheers:


:dance: :dance:

I want to change the title to something more official, like [Prishtina] Approved - 160m tower, but I fear it would put some bad voodoo and the whole project falls apart :/

I want to change the title to something more official, like [Prishtina] Approved - 160m tower, but I fear it would put some bad voodoo and the whole project falls apart :/

No man...

First of all, this thread isnt just about this one tower.. It is about the entire Lakrishte area in Prishtina - where highrises/skyscrapers will be built.. Currently there are two projects...

Second of all; this 165m tower has been approved for a while now (and planning permission since november 2007) ... Today the contract was signed between the investor and the croatian construction company "Konstruktor" to start the works... From now on it is "Under Construction", some digging in the construction site has also been observed from some photos.. :cheers:

LOL dont worry about that i just saw it on T.V. the whole thing is official

great news!!....someone should do a recap on what has been approved as of now and what is pending....that way we have an idea of what to expect.

I think this will open the way for future investments.

And the most important thing: The architect of this magnificent building is Albanian! :cheers: This is a great opportunity for albanian architects to get a good reputation.. :D

According to the posted article, the architect is Astrit Nixha, founder and owner of ANARCH: www.anarch.biz

LOL dont worry about that i just saw it on T.V. the whole thing is official

:rofl:

it turns out I missed the last part of the news, since i thought it would be a "top headline", and among the first news to be presented on the 19.30 news edition :lol:


There is an AWESOME video presentation of the project... It will have a much more massive impact on the skyline than i thought from the renders:


Click this link, and skip exactly the first 30 minutes, then you will see a fantastic video presentation of the project:

http://www.rtklive.com/s_video/1930.asx

:cheers2:

In the last part of the news transmition, you can actually see, construction activies has already started... Digging and preparing the site, that is... :banana: :cheers:

wow that enhances the skyline considerably......i hope that clip will soon be on youtube, so that we can post it here!

:lol:

... and the location for this project couldn't possibly have been any better... Now the WTC complex will not look so lonely either, since it is a little bit further south-west from the center.. :cheers:

i'm so jealous

This building is AMAZING no comment with that i don't have any text for it simply AMAZING. When this is complety, we going to see just this Building in prishtina, this building is upper everyone.

I'm sure there will be more crazy projects (in the not so distant future) :D ... Just wait, until Behgjet Pacolli & Mabetex throws themselves into this game :cheers:

Im most happy that arhcitecht is albanian, thats gives to him very big repution and all kosovo that we do have guys who can do this kind jobs.
my slogan to kosovo "When it starts, never ends"

I think next project will be Supertall, haha.

I'm sure there will be more crazy projects (in the not so distant future) :D ... Just wait, until Behgjet Pacolli & Mabetex throws themselves into this game :cheers:


Behgjet Pacolli?
This guy started a lot of project during the election time, which one did he finish? :ohno:

Behgjet Pacolli?
This guy started a lot of project during the election time, which one did he finish? :ohno:


as far as i know he hasnt started any property development project yet or promised any during the election campaign.. Didnt he just show off different projects he has realised around the world ?

But he has invested lots of money in other different sectors in Kosovo:
- he has bought a share of "Grand Hotel"
- owns gazeta Lajm, and the magazine "Albanica"
- invested money in ALSAT (but is now in a legal dispute)
- owns a big share in Banka Ekonomike
-.owns a retail chain "Sina Tempore", which has opened in Prishtina, and another one dont remember the name...
- etc...

Plus he has donated lots of money to different communities, villages, educational institutions (american university, faculty of philosophy) etc...

I really don't want to "defend" him, but it wouldn't be fair to say he hasnt invested anything... But I agree he surely hasnt used so much of his financial capacities & power yet.... Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if he came up with a crazy project in the not so distant future..

OK , but apart from that he has stopped with the university as well as a mosque he was renovating, I wouldnt mention others, but I do agree the he has invested in Kosovo

B.TH.W wouldnt it had been a good idea to give this poject (ENK invest) to Mabetex , Kosovars would be working

B.TH.W wouldnt it had been a good idea to give this poject (ENK invest) to Mabetex , Kosovars would be working

Alot of Kosovars will work on this one also, as far as I know... Croatian "Konstruktor" will probably supervise the works with experts etc and have the legal responsibility to fulfill the contract which they signed today... While regular construction workers and engineers (in cooperation with engineers from "Konstruktor"), will be local I think...:cheers2:

I'm sure the workers will not be Croatians - even here in Croatia majority of construction is being done by Bosnian folks.

Anyway, great to see this got official - hope it will be a success story

... and now the media says the entire project will cost 400 million euro, and not 250 as reported earlier... :nuts: Seems like 250 million euro is just the part that Raiffeisen Bank will finance...


And the complex will be built through 2 main phases... 1st phase will be completed after 3 years, and 2nd phase after additional 3 years... Its going to take alot of time, but it will certainly be worth it :cheers2:

Kompania ENK invest grup ka nënshkruar një kontratë me kompaninë kroate "Konstruktor" për ndërtimin e një objekti 42 katësh në qendër të Prishtinës.\17.04.08\


Në “Sheshin 21” u bë prezantimi publik i projektit më të madh ndërtimor, pas luftës në Kosovë, ai i një qendre me destinime të ndryshme, 42 katëshe, e cila do të ndërtohet në Prishtinë.
Kompania ENK invest grup ka planifikuar të investojë 400 milion euro dhe të punësojë mbi 2 mijë punëtorë për realizimin e këtij projekti. Edmond Krliu, pronar i kësaj kompanie, tha se ky investim do të ndërrojë imazhin e kryeqytetit dhe do të krijojë edhe mundësi për zhvillim ekonomik.
Ministri i Ekonomisë dhe Financave, Ahmet Shala, duke përgëzuar këtë investitor, tha se qeveria do të krijojë mundësi më të mira për investitorët.
Të gjitha proceduarat ligjore për realizimin e këtij projekti kanë përfunduar. Qeveria komunale ka legalizuar projektin, i cili thuhet se është hartuar sipas të gjitha normave.
Investimi prej 400 milionë eurosh i kompanisë ENK invest grup është investimi i dytë i madh në Kosovë i kësaj kompanie. Kohë më parë ajo ka bërë një investim shumë të madh në fabrikën e miellit e të brumërave M & Silos, në Xërxë të Rahovecit.\17.04.08\RTV21

This is great news...Im happy for it. Skenderbeg I agree that 6 years is lot of time, but I hope new skyscapers will start to be build in that area....I'm hoping that in 6 years time we will have much greater picture of Pristina

Edhe diqka....shpresoj se ne kete aspekt to te funksionoj mentaliteti Kosovar "per inati te kojshise" :P

This is the first fruit of independence, with much more to come..

Edhe diqka....shpresoj se ne kete aspekt to te funksionoj mentaliteti Kosovar "per inati te kojshise" :P

:lol: mos u frigo as një moment... besoj qe pikerisht kjo do te ndodhe, do te hyjne bisnesmenet e pasur ne nje konkurence shume te ashper mbas nje kohe (ne kete kontekst e permenda me heret Pacollin)... Kuptohet qe edhe kapacitetet ekonomike duhen te jene ne favor te zhvillimeve te tilla, sepse per ndryshe do te jete e pamundur te absorboje ekonomija projekte aq madhore.... Por mbrenda 6 viteve sa do te zgjase ky projekt, besoje dhe shpresoj qe do te kete projekte edhe tjera mbi 100 metra te larta..

One thing is very clear: during the next 5 years, Prishtina will change and develope rapidly... and I'm not having just the highrises & skyscrapers in mind, but also in all other aspects of urbanism & infrastructure...:cheers:

New ringroads/highways, many new squares and parks, better & wider roads, underground public parking spaces, more greenery, more quality projects, improved public transport, demolishing of illegal & ugly buildings - all the things that are foreseen by the new regulation plans which of course will take time to implement (maybe 10 years)

ky projekti enkes me duket shume ambicioz dhe madheshtor. me sa duket do jete me i madhi ne ballkan. ka ndonje plane per high-rise te tjere ne lakrishte pervec wtc-se? neqoftese vazhdon keshtu prishtina do kete skylinin me te bukur ne rajon. ato gomeret ne tirane duhet te mesojne njecik se si behen planet urbanistike, e kane kthyer ate vend ne nje katraur te vertete.

ka ndonje plane per high-rise te tjere ne lakrishte pervec wtc-se?

Per momentin, nuk ka projekte tjera te njohura per publikun qe ia vlen te permenden.... Por ne te ardhmen, sigurisht qe do te kete edhe komplekse tjera, sepse sic e kane bere te ditur me heret mediat, e tere zona qe quhet "Lakrishte" eshte e planifikuar per ndertime shumekateshe, ku lejohen edhe ndertimet mbi 40 kate... :cheers:


Ia vlen te theksohet qe ky eshte projekti i parë "kombetar" madheshtor (400 million euro!!), i planifikuar dhe realizuar nga kapitali privat... Investitori kryesor dhe drejtori i kompanise "ENK Invest" eshte shqiptar nga Maqedonia, kurse 4 bashkë-investitoret tjere jane nga Shqiperia... Dhe ekipi kryesor arkitektesh dhe inxhinjere te keti projekti kane qene shqiptar nga Kosova, gjithashtu krye-arkitekti Astrit Nixha... Urime te gjithe, dhe shpresoj ne bashkpunime edhe tjera te tilla ne te ardhmen, ne te gjithe trojet shqiptare.. :cheers:

"little manhattan" was a metaphor to Lakrishte - the skyscraper district which this thread is all about :D ... the area where the 2 current official projects are located..

Oh i see....I thought it was some specific project.

Thanks

You know what's kind of funny? .... The main street wich leads to "Little Manhattan" aka Lakrishte (starting with the "World Trade Center Prishtina" complex), is "Bill Clinton Boulevard" :lol:

Video Presentation:


Awesome video presentation of the entire ENK complex... The clip is 8 minutes long :cheers:


The project is designed by Prishtina-based architectural studio ANARCH (www.anarch.biz), in cooperation with several other architectural studios & engineering consultant companies (both national and international)... Enjoy !! :cheers2:

Lakrishta prek qiellin

Prishtinë, 17 prill - ENK Invest ka nënshkruar të enjten kontratën
me kompaninë Konstruktori nga Kroacia për ndërtimin e kompleksit
banesor afarist në këtë lagje. Edmond Kërliu, drejtor i ENK Invest,
tha se ndihet i kënaqur për këtë investim që është duke u bërë në Kosovë. Sipas tij, ky është investimi më i madh që po bëhet në Kosovën e pasluftës.
"Ky projekt pritet të fillojë gjatë këtyre ditëve, një pjesë do
të përfundojë pas 3 viteve, ndërsa në tërësi do të përfundojë pas 6 viteve", tha ai. Ndërkaq, Zeljko Zderic, drejtor i kompanisë Konstruktori nga Spliti, e quajti këtë ndërmarrje si një marrëveshje serioze e cila është në të mirë të dy palëve dhe premtoi se projekti do të përfundojë ashtu se si edhe është menduar.

Gjatë një prezantimi të kompanisë CMA, kohë më parë për planin rregullues në lagjen Lakërishte, është njoftuar se kjo lagje përbëhet prej sipërfaqes
prej 58.64 hektarësh, ku banojnë 2.017 qytetarë. Kjo lagje sipas
planeve do të përbëhet prej sipërfaqes ndërtimore prej 435.294 metra katrorë, sipërfaqe të rrugëve 151.078 metra katrorë, do të ketë 5342 apartamente,
ku planifikohet të banojnë rreth 21.400 banorë apo dhjetë herë më shumë se sot. Ndërsa edhe komuna ka njoftuar se investitorëve, të cilët kanë aplikuar për t'u pajisur me leje ndërtimi në komunën e Prishtinës për ndërtimin e objekteve të larta me destinim të përzier, u janë aprovuar projektet ideore sipas planit rregullativ në lagjen Lakrishte. Sipas Gashit, kompanitë të cilat do të investojnë në këtë projekt janë: ENK, Investitors Group, Dajti, Olti Trasing dhe Melihate Jusufi. Ndërsa, sipas tarifave të tanishme, vetëm nga lëshimi i lejeve ndërtimore këtyre investitorëve deri në fund të këtij viti komuna
e Prishtinës do të inkasojë rreth 25 milionë euro.

The area in Lakrishte is 58,64 hectare big (586.400 m2). The land planned for construction of mix-use multistory buildings is 435.294 m2. 151.078 m2 will be roads/infrastructure.... In addition to the hotels, office space, retail units and entertainment facilities planned for this mix-use area - 5342 appartments will be built.

In comparison to this overall plan - The massive 400 million euro worth ENK Complex, occupies a land plot "only" 26.091 m2 big, and its residential part contains only 100 appartments... Or, said in a different way - the ENK Complex occupies only 6% of the land area, planned for the same purpose..


....Just to give you guys an idea, of how much more can be expected for this area the future time ahead :cheers2:

Skyline with the ENK Complex:

I think it looks more shorter, what it does look in renders. Skyline looks kind a ugly, because one big building and other very tiny.

^^ Wheren't you the one who recently asked when Prishtina would get a "supertall"?! :rofl: wouldtn't that stand out even more? :lol:

And now you contradict yourself (as always), saying this building isn't as tall as you expected, but then some centimeters away in the same sentence - you say it doesnt look good because its too big compared to other buildings??!! What kind of logic is this...? :nuts: :hilarious:

If you have eyes, that skyline shows everything that project stand out all buildings, and those others building are like 50m tall and this project is 165m is little bit different. Of course Supertall stand out all building, when it happend i hope we have then more Highrise, and then prishtina's skyline doesn't look so ugly. If you understood my point.

And for supertall, as much i do like to have supertall in future, i don't think that is going to happen never, because our economic is what is.

Of course it stands out.... What did you expect?! To have a giant skyline built in just a short period of time? :nuts: ... This 165m tall complex would stand out in every single city in the Balkans... Still, every one of them would be more then happy to have such a great complex built in their city...


As mentioned many times earlier, this project will be built in Lakrishte - a zone where other highrises/skyscrapers also will be built in the future.. By the time this complex is finished (2014), The "Rilindja" building will be reconstructed, "Grand Hotel" as well, "WTC Prishtina" will be constructed 2-3 years before this one, plus other future projects may be expected... When the "ENK Complex" is finished, it won't stand out as much as it does on the renders posted here, which are made on the current visual look of Prishtina...


And stop mentioning "supertalls" from now on... It really is ridiculous...

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x229/mamani_ks/skyline4.jpg


Cool project :)

Of course, you are allways right. Short period time? if for you is 8-years short period of time, thats ridiculous.

You are like a BOSS here, you say what i can say?

Of course, you are allways right.

The only thing I can agree with you on, since you became a member here

The only thing I can agree with you on, since you became a member here

Of you think lots of yourself, thats not good. You don't respect others opinions never.

Of you think lots of yourself, thats not good.

It was a joke... you have no sense of humour...:nuts: but there was some truth in what I said; ever since you became a member here you have always made weird and absurd posts..


You don't respect others opinions never.

I respect everyones opinions... But not the illogical & ridiculous ones..

It was a joke... you have no sense of humour..:nuts:



I respect everyones opinions... But not the illogical & ridiculous ones..

Since you lie to me for the Stadiums, for your sarcasm, then i don't have sense of humour. So thats why i said that.

A little announcement here.
Since there is going to be a whole district in Prishtina for highrises, we are going to restructure this place a little bit.
There will be a separate thread for the Croatian 165m tower that is under construction.
That thread will be about the tower ONLY.
This thread, about the district Lakrishte, will remain, and will be used for any other news about the district, except for any big news about the 165m tower.

We don't want to have duplicate discussions about the 165m tower in two places, since it will only confuse and frustrate people who will have to ask or answer questions twice.

Prishtina=The new Dubai :lol:

Prishtina=The new Dubai :lol:

I "think" that too, so i totally agree with you, ahahahahaha:lol:

guys, please keep it about this lakrishte district, otherwise what use is the Prishtina thread if we post all the other projects here

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2284/2056519419_41c5bee086.jpg?v=0


The Rilindja building may belong to this thread though, since it is right next to the ENK Complex, and can be seen as an extended part of Lakrishte...
This highrise has 20 or 21 floors (should be around 80m tall) and will be transformed into a modern highrise. There is already a plan for that, to reconstruct this building into something similar to the government highrise next to skenderbeg square... This plan is some years old now, but hasn't been implemented yet because of some legal disputes (I remember I have read about this in a newspaper a while ago)... But one thing can be said with pretty high accuracy, it will get reconstructed before the ENK Complex finishes..:cheers:

^^ Finally

Pse u ulën taksat

Prishtinë, 26 prill —
omuna e Prishtinës ka
ulur taksat për ndërtimet
e objekteve afariste. Këtë e
ka bërë bash në vrullin e
ndërtimeve shumë të
mëdha afariste, të cilat priten ta
vërshojnë Prishtinën, gjegjësisht
pak ditë para dhënies së licencës
së parë për ndërtimin e objektit
më të madh ballkanik në kryeqytetin
e Kosovës.
Me rregulloren e ndryshuar për
taksa mbi ndërtimet me destinim
afariste, Komuna e Prishtinës
i ka humbur hiq më pak se
4 milionë e 352 mijë e 940 euro
taksa, të cilat do t`i merrte nga
ky ndërtim i ri. Rrokaqielli do të
jetë me sipërfaqe prej 435.294
metra katrorë.
Me aterrimin edhe të një morie
ndërtesash në kryeqytetin e
Kosovës, po të këtyre përmasave,
humbjet e komunës do t`shtohen
apo dhjetëfishohen vetëm
gjatë këtij viti. Të paktën edhe
katër ndërtime të reja shumë të
mëdha është paralajmëruar se
do të bëhen në Prishtinë, saktësisht
në lagjen Lakrishte.
Burime të besueshme të gazetës
Express tregojnë se ulja e
taksave dhe ndërtimi i këtyre objekteve
glamuroze nuk kanë
ndodhur rastësisht.
"Grupet e interesit si gjithkund
tjetër, ia kanë prish mendjen edhe
Isa Mustafës, i cili ka bërë këto
ndryshime vetëm disa ditë para
ndërtimit të objektit më të
madh në Ballkan", tha ky burim
i gazetës. Ai shtoi se kryeqyteti i
Kosovës ka nevojë për shumë rregullore
e ligje tjera, por Isa Mustafa
është marrë vetëm me këtë
çështje deri më tash.
Deri para një muaji ndërtimet
me destinim afarist kanë qenë
të obliguara të paguajnë për
metër kub rreth 22.50 euro. Me
hyrjen e rregullores së re në fuqi,
kompanitë për këto ndërtime
do të paguajnë 11 euro për
metër kub. Kryetari Isa Mustafa
pos kësaj ka ulur taksat edhe për
disa ndërtime tjera me destinime
tjera.
Taksat për ndërtimin e objekteve
me destinim për ndërtesa
kolektive ka qenë 15 euro dhe
është bërë 12 euro. Ndërtimi i
objekteve investuese me destinim
për arsim dhe shëndetësi tash
është 10 euro për metër kub,
ndërsa me të vjetrën ka qenë 11
euro për metër kub. Ndërsa ndërtimi
i objekteve investuese me
përmasa të lartësisë mbi 4.0 metra
10 euro për metër katror, e ka
qenë 12 euro.
Ndërtimi i rrokaqiellit të parë
në Prishtinë pritet të fillojë gjatë
këtyre ditëve dhe një pjesë do të
përfundojë pas tri vjetëve. Mbarimi
i punëve do të finalizohet
pas gjashtë vjetëve.
Sipas planeve të Komunës së
Prishtinës, lagja Lakrishte do të
shndërrohet në një "Manhatan"
të vogël të kryeqytetit të Kosovës.
Kompanitë, të cilat do të investojnë
në këtë projekt janë: ENK,
Investitors Group, Dajti, Olti Trasing
dhe Melihate Jusufi.
Në anën tjetër, uljen e këtyre
taksave, zyrtarët komunalë e
konsiderojnë si premtim elektoral
i cili tashmë është shndërruar
në realitet.
Muhamet Gashi, zëdhënës i
Komunës së Prishtinës, ka thënë
se këto kanë qenë pjesë e premtimeve
elektorale të kryetarit Isa
Mustafa. Ai vetëm ka përmbushur
premtimet.
"Ky ka qenë vetëm një premtim
elektoral i kryetarit, i cili edhe
ka dashtë t`i motivojë ndërtuesit
për ndërtime në kryeqytet",
tha Gashi. Lakrishta tash sa
kohë është planifikuar që të bëhet
'Manhatani" i kryeqytetit të
Kosovës.

Please smone translate this post....im to bored to do that:P

By the way based on Express Newspaper. the companies or groups that will build skyscapers in Lakrishte are: ENK,
Investitors Group, Dajti, Olti Trasing
dhe Melihate Jusufi.
For the moment are 5 of them...on the list is not Dukagjini Group will World Trade Centre....

Please smone translate this post....im to bored to do that:P

well, basically the news article Plisat posted, informs us that Municipality of Prishtina has cut taxes, to create more favourable conditions for big construction projects... the article speculates that there is not by random chance that the announcement of several projects, comes right after the tax-cuts...

..the article also informs us that in addition to the ENK Complex, and the WTC complex, three other companies are interested in building highrises in Lakrishte...

Good Job Prishtina, U will officially join the skyscraper club with Sarajevo and Zagreb NOW ... Keep it UP!

Thanx!

Since WTC and ENK are u/c and have their own separate threads now - we should from now on, use this thread only for discussions about general developments in the Lakrishte area, including news about other projects wich might show up eventually (until they get approved and U/C - then a separate thread could be opened for them aswell) :cheers:

First post updated...:cheers:


[Prishtina] Skyscraper District || Projects & Updates

The area in Lakrishte is 58,64 hectare big (586.400 m2). The land planned for construction of mix-use multistory buildings is 435.294 m2. 151.078 m2 will be roads/infrastructure.... In addition to the hotels, office space, retail units and entertainment facilities planned for this mix-use area - 5342 appartments will be built.


This is "Lakrishte":

Good job and thanks for the update.

a photo I made of how Prishtinas skyline may look like by 2014.. WTC and ENK are on their correct location... Height, may not be 100% accurate... The location of ILIRIA is currently unknown (but should be in that area)... Height of the tallest tower in ILIRIA is not accurate either since its going to be 50 floors, not 40... Anyway:

Uh.. Impresionuese.. bravo skanderbeg..

Great job...i think the height of the buildings is a little bit off, but other than that its great.

I think in the near future scyscraper projects are going to spill over towards Fushe Kosova

the height of WTC and ENK, should be somewhat near accurate... Not Iliria.... I will make a new one, with Iliria when I have the time...

The main scraper in Iliria, should be a little bit taller... But the other buildings should be smaller (since they are just 16 - 20 floors)...

as information....im in pristina now. spoke with some people here and they told me that three buildings confirmed will be all in Lakrishte area. one ex ramiz sadiku area, second former Faita factory area and third one former Plastika building. there will be more ana more buildings to come....the construction will go fast, since there is huge interest....
municpality soon will build the water factory to try to solve the water supply problem....
otherwise i see construction going on everywhere....i havent had a chance to see the work on new hightway, but i will try to get some pic and post them here.........

Po shikoja videon e lamtumires per vdekjen e presidentit te Top Medias ne Top Channel dhe nga mesi pati nje filmim te shkurter nga Prishtina.
