So it's been downsized ?

So it's been downsized ?

Information from my direct contact with the developer Nov 2007:

The first tower is 62 floors (which would be height around 210m + spire/ornaments = around 230m. Scheduled completion is Dec 2009.

The second tower is now on sale and will be 89 levels (height around 310 m + spire = total around 340 m. Completion scheduled for end of 2010.

So possibly this is the highest project under construction now? (together with los faros de Panama)

Sounds like the second tower will begin soon, seeing as how it has a 2010 completion date.

is it just me, or is Panama City the next dubai ?

is it just me, or is Panama City the next dubai ?

In terms of a building boom, yes, but Panama City seems more like a real city.

:) Thanks for the updates. Actually this is the thread for only the smaller tower of Mégapolis.. It's not downsized.

For the virtual reality video check out Megapolis Panama (http://www.panamarealestatetrends.com/Megapolis-Panama-Condos).

The tower have a very nice design

Tnx danmaza for the information :cheers:

nice project. Looks really cool :)

Is this thread really necessary? Since it's the same project I think it can all be covered in one thread (the one in the Supertall section).

I see the same construction pictures in both threads anyway.

Lots of cranes for this project, incredible

:happy: Massive!

The structure during its construction looks pretty ugly...

Why is the facade so different than the rendering? Now they are using some ugly brick work?

It hasn't changed. Eventually those brick will be covered. Look at this model.

BTW thanks for the posting the picture. Tremendous progress.

Not sure if your asking how high is it now or will it be when complete. But this section is the 230 meter, 63 floor tower. Supposedly their is another 89 floor tower to be connected to this one u/c... but could be cancelled, on hold, phase II...

the second tower has never been U/C, rumours are it'll begin after the first tower, or maybe not at all

Phase II, that thread should be removed from the supertall section as it belongs to the same 230m tower.

What floor are they working on?

I am currently an architecture student at the University of South Florida and I am working on my thesis. My site is located in Punta Paitilla, Panama. I just currently visited the site and was in the central mall when I saw a model of the city and the new Megapolis tower. I would like to know if anyone knows the architect and also who built the context model. I am looking for images and or 3D model of the area to help me in building my context model for my thesis. Any information about the city will help tremendously. Thank you

Justin

My first impressions of this skyscraper was "it's nice, but nothing special ... clean lines, attractive glass and masonry elements, but somehow lacking in panache..."

Then the blue tinted glass cladding started being installed, and I thought "Wow!"

To my more or less i like for the glasses jeje, since here in Panama there are many towers with this glass, uff all the place.

Every building in Panama is blue and white. There are no other colors. I remember the renders for Rivage showed the cladding being colorful and cool, then the real cladding begins and-blue and white. How annoying! :lol:

Yes.

will this flats be for the rich or for average residents ?

For the people of high income I think, at least in Panama.

It is mainly a condo/hotel, rented out like a hotel-owned by individual condo owners.

Nothing is happenning right now.....the field is full of scraps from the under construction one.....what we do know is that they want to finish this one first, and then start promoting the taller one. We look forward for the taller one being built.

Greetings!

Any more news on completion dates??? I got an email from Roko yesterday and he said they are just waiting for the occupany permit...

We have a friend on the ground who recently said that the building doesn't look finished though, they are still putting windows in!

The construction on the building is almost finished, the spears are missing but in Panama you can get the occupation permits before the whole building is completed. The fire deparment makes sure everything is safe and give the go.

The tower is actually starting to look nice with the sunshine on it. I hate the grey concrete but when the sun shines on it, it looks white. White is way more stylish and condo like, way better than the concrete commie look. I also like how the entrance/lobby turned out.
