Nice, great job. :cheers:

I love this project! Go Prishtina..

was there a need for this thread?

was there a need for this thread?

No doubt that this project deserves its own thread... 3tmk thought so too...

But, discussions and updates about the ENK Complex - has to be done in this thread... The Lakrishte skyscraper district - thread can be used for general updates of projects in Lakrishte... such as for example the World Trade Center complex...


Prishtina is booming... and the forum has to keep up :D

fair enough

... i pastroj moderatori keto postime te motivuar nga propaganda dhe xhelozia qe egziston tek disa anetare jo-shqiptare... me mire sikur mos ta kishte bere kete pune, sepse do te duhet ti japim pergjigje provokimeve te njejta nga te njejtit persona prap ndonje here...

As I already said, great project and it deserves its own thread. I wish many projects like this in Balkan region.

Estimated Completion: Phase 1: 2011, Phase 2: 2014
^^
What is it : First phase and second?

Very nice towers!

Here's something that's just caught my eye.... look at the first render, at the trees on the tall tower

I am no botanist, but how are those trees standing on what looks to be 10cm of concrete floor?

One big project, and you say straight Prishtina is booming. That isn't even truth.

I'm one of the members that updates the Prishtina threads often... I think I know better than a 13 year old hill-billy, if Prishtina is booming or not..

^^
What is it : First phase and second?

Very nice towers!

The construction of the tower-complex is a process..

Phase 1:
- Digging for 6 underground floors
- Building 6 underground parking-garage floors.
- Building the 4 floor mall (which is also the base of the complex), and the 7 floor office building attached to it.
- Building the residential building (over 20 floors)


Phase 2:
- Building the over 20 floor hotel.
- Building the 42 floor office tower.


= all this will take 6 years..

I'm one of the members that updates the Prishtina threads often... I think I know better than a 13 year old hill-billy, if Prishtina is booming or not..

But sorry, you are allways right.

And all this takes 6-years? I think its very long time, and there no chance build this like in 4 years?

But i should't complain, i just asked because here is people who knows about these things more.

GCF, I think 6 years is a long time too... but that is just a personal opinion because I'm excited about this project and cant wait till its completed... However this doesnt change the fact that 6 years for such a big complex is a realistic estimated completion time... Just look at the new skyscraper that will be built in Paris, it will not be completed till at least 2015..

If this project was just a single tower, of course it would have been constructed faster... But we should have in mind that this is not just a tower, it is a complex of towers: 1 of 42 floors, and 2 of over 20 floors.. Plus a big mall, and 6 underground floors... Thats pretty big.. 300 000 m2

Here's something that's just caught my eye.... look at the first render, at the trees on the tall tower

I am no botanist, but how are those trees standing on what looks to be 10cm of concrete floor?

it could be just those plastic plants you know, doubt their gonna be real trees

The tower is fantastic. I dont think Prishtina is very attractive place for investments right now, but who cares. IMO this project will satisfy the city needs for office and commercial spaces in the years ahead. Probably Prishtina would stand another 1 or 2 towers but this would be the maximum.

Probably Prishtina would stand another 1 or 2 towers but this would be the maximum.

I agree... for now... but I believe more towers can be expected in the future... Have in mind that not all towers need to be commercial. This complex is being built in a zone planned for mix-use destinated buildings... The residential part of the ENK Complex is "just" 26 000 m2 out of a total of 300 000 m2.. Some other tower later on may have a bigger residential part than commercial, if thats the direction the demand from the market goes...

Skyline with the ENK Complex:

Of course i know this is complex and it is huge, and all we should be proud about this project. But i know that paris Skyline is already fantastic, but i usually compare cities who has been independent like over 60 years and, that isn't fair and i know that and kosovo isn't that rich as france is. I hope that in 2015, we have great skyline.

...judging from the recent developments, it looks like Prishtina at least will have the best skyline in the region.. :cheers:

Sarcasm again? I think will be great but not the best, BEST word is very strong word to prishtina skyline.

... Prishtina at least will have the best skyline in the region.. :cheers:

I have doubts about that.. :ohno:

Sarcasm again? I think will be great but not the best, BEST word is very strong word to prishtina skyline.

no sarcasm this time... I mean it wholeheartedly... The direction Prishtina is heading, the countries in our region will deffinetly have a hard time beating this...:cheers:

I have doubts about that.. :ohno:

ok, fine... tell me why? i dont see any other similar plans in the region (Balkans, excluding turkey)

no sarcasm this time... I mean it wholeheartedly... The direction Prishtina is heading, the countries in our region will deffinetly have a hard time beating this...:cheers:

Prishtina doesn't need to have the best skyline, just great is enough. Many countries has beat us already.

ok, fine... tell me why? i dont see any other similar plans in the region..

Sofia for exemple, Europa Tower- 180 metres (or 185 I cant remember)...also the Acropolis project with 4 towers, Bulgaria Mall, today there is some new project for a skyscraper in Sofia-195 metres. Yes, Prishtina is ahead, because this skyscraper is U/C but Prishtina is 550-600k, Sofia is 1,8mln., Bucharest is more than 2mln, or even Beograd-nearly 2 mln. These are the 3 cities with the brightest future in the region, furthermore Sofia and Bucharest are EU and NATO capitals..dont forget that.

Listen man... you quoted just a little part of what I posted... I said very clearly "...judging from the recent developments"... For now, Prishtina is the only city which has started to implement a plan for a skyscraper district, a cluster... Even if some of the cities you mentioned comes with a cool single project, it doesnt mean it can beat Prishtinas plans for a cluster of highrises & skyscrapers...
The size of a city, does affect the potential for a nice skyline - but it is absolutely no guarantee for that... There are many great, big and prosperous cities in the world without impressive skylines..
Plus you are ignoring that Prishtina is expected to grow to nearly 1 million inhabitants by 2020 (according to the Strategic Development Plan)...
Yes, you are in EU and NATO, and ahead economically - but that doesnt mean you should underestimate us and think that you always will be in a better economic situation..


And dont forget that it is not only the ENK Complex that is U/C... Also the World Trade Center Prishtina is under U/C and is located in the same zone... Both are high quality projects, and especially the ENK Complex - is something unseen in the region so far...




EDIT: I forgot to mention Tirana, which also has started to implement its masterplan for a 10 tower highrise district... Absolutely no reason for anyone to underestimate Tirana either..

Soooo it's u/c or not, would be nice to see some pics...great project imo.

^ Dude you're doing a great job for keeping us updated :cheers:

Great thing for Prishtina. Thanks for the hard work all of you keeping us updated.

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

My opinion is that you have done great job to do this map. But one point, when this project in complety,there's no much space to other building in that Lakrishte area.

The ENK Complex occupies only 6% of the land area called Lakrishte, and planned for the same purpose...

Lakrishte is not just the block where the ENK Complex is located (where it says "Lakrishte" on the map above).. The area to the west of it, is in Lakrishte too...

Sorry i thought only that is Lakrishte area where read Lakrishte. But anyway thanks for clarification.

I live like 150-200 meters away from the building i can try and keep it updated with pictures if you guys want me to

Wow.... You are just too good to be true... :D :cheers:

hehe i take that as an yes :cheers: luckely i like to travel around so ofc taking pics from Entire Kosova is no problem for me but i have first to look when i am free cause you know how the life is here busy busy with fam hehe going on visits peopel coming over to visit you its great dont get me wrong but sometimes you get crazy

^^ Great to have you around man... No hurry.. Once in a while when you are free and have some little spare time, it would be great if you could take some pics of some projects in Prishtina... like The ENK Complex, World Trade Center Prishtina, etc... :cheers:

hehe common Prishtina is 1000% each day i can take pics but the rest of Kosova is an bit of an problem

well, in order to see some progress in the construction sites, I think it would be great to take some pics once a week, or once every 2nd week of some of the projects in Prishtina - if you have the time... :cheers:

... For the rest of Kosova, no worries... We understand that you cant travel around in entire Kosovo all the time and take photos :D ...sometime when you have the chance, it would be great..

Interesting observation: The 42 floor skyscraper, stands on a 5 floor base (the mall)... So the total amount of floors of the highest tower is 47..

Another thing: the 165m skyscraper has a U shape. Structure-wise there are actually 2 towers: one of 42 floors and one of 37 floors - connected only through an integrated 11-floor middle part (3-4 floor tall each) with trees... This may also serve as a reinforcement of the structure (?)...


Depending on the angle you are viewing it from: the 165m tall skyscraper will look both as 1 tower, and as 2 towers...

This video-clip illustrates that pretty good:

IpZCgS6bzqs


The hotel has 23 floors

The appartment-building has 16 floors + 5 floors from the base it is standing on (the mall) = total of 21 floors..

Wow thats cool, thanks for the information.

http://media5.dropshots.com/photos/469443/20080423/104156.jpg

thanks for the photos Prishtinali ...

Liburni arent those buildings in the bacground, the project "arberia"?

and btw; in that photo you quoted, you can see they have started digging (in the enk site)

The land where this is getting built, is owned by a Jew, whose family fled during World War Two. I remeber the story when I was in the summer. Prishtina Municipality had already planned something, but the this guy came and turned everything upside down. Even UNMIK intervened.

Anyway, it looks good. And with all the EU donations Prishtina has a chance to become real nice.

What kind of bullshit are you preaching man? Spare me from the chit-chat gossip from the cafes please...:bash: This land where the ENK Complex is being built, was owned by the giant "Ramiz Sadiku" construction company who have built various projects around the world during yugo-time (including a big part of Prishtina), and employed thousands of people... After the war, this public-property was privatised through AKM...


And what EU funds are you talking about? This is a private investment, not a EU project :nuts:

Record setting skyscraper to go up in Prishtina
Thursday, 24 April 2008


A Kosovo concern has begun the construction of a 400 million euro mixed-use skyscraper in Prishtina, Kosovo’s capital. The project will be completed in two phases with a total completion time of six years.
Investment is being done the Kosovar company ENK Invest Group in cooperation with four other firms from Albania. The project is partially financed by International Finance Corporation at 75 million euro and the Austria-based Raiffeisen Bank with another 15 million.

The complex is located on Bill Clinton Boulevard close to the center of Prishtina on an area of 26,000 m2. With a floor space of 285,000 m2, the complex consists of 100 luxury apartments, a 165 m 42-story-high high-end office tower, the highest in the Balkans, a shopping center, a hotel and six level subterranean garages.

The complex will be built in Lakrishte, an ex-industrial zone in Prishtina, which is now foreseen by the new regulation plan for this area to become a high-rise district.

ENK Invest says that the interest is already high and one of the tenants is expected to be Raiffeisen with 5,400 m2.

The architectural work has been done by the Prishtina-based ANARCH architectural studio of Astrit Nixha. Construction is being performed by the Croatian firm Konstruktor and will employ 2,000 people.

Five other companies are planning to build similar projects in Prishtina.

You don't even deserve to live

As I already said, great project and it deserves its own thread. I wish many projects like this in Balkan region.

A new Symbol of the albanian Kosovo.

Guys do you know about this project ?

Project name is xerxe in that website.

http://www.anarch.biz/

"xerxe" is a location in rahovec... a place where ANARCH designed a factory for "ENK Invest Group"a while ago... That project has been finished for some time now..

Anyway, the ENK Complex promo video (the original 8 min long one, which was removed from youtube), is now on that website... www.anarch.biz has been updated..

Goddamit, Prishtina gets to have this awesome building built, but city like Sofia, doesn't get anything higher than 50 metres built. Stupid government.

Anyways, congrats for the awesome project :)

Don't worry, bulgaria is so much ahead kosovo so you dont have nothing worry about and allways will be.

But this is very good start for kosovo, to be honest i didn't expect this kind start for kosovo.

Im very proud about this project and more proud that architect is albanian

^^

He was talking about the skyscraper not the social livings :nuts:

skyscrapers dont generally mean anything. nairobi has more skyscrapers than albania but i would still rather live in the latter than the former.

Great project for Prishtina. Congratulations!! Thanks to Skanderbeg for keeping everyone updated on all projects related to Kosovo.

Does anyone know if the 165m height is to the roof, or is there some kind of antenna there?

Nice and big project. It would be nice if Tirana got a similar investment.

This would definately help Prishtina's skyline.

Does anyone know if the 165m height is to the roof, or is there some kind of antenna there?

Looking at the renders, I would say the roof.

the enk complex doesnt have any antenna, so the highest point of the tower is the rooftop (165m) :cheers:

The skyscrapers that you find in Nairobi serve as offices for foreign oil companies which suck that country dry off of its resources.

This one is a local investment, to serve, local and foreign businesses, and a residential building. This will employ a lot of people during its construction and after it is constructed.

New fotos for construction? News?

New fotos for construction? News?

What??!!! Havent you heard the breaking news yet... the project is almost finished ..:nuts:

Update


"ENK Invest Group" has finally created their official website:

www.enkinvestgroup.com

There are some cool new renders of the "ENK Complex" there, as well as a 360 degree view of the project...

Some info about the company and the stockholders...

Also a "News" section that will be updated by them eventually

Is it the tollest in west ballcan.. ? sorry for my english..!
Forza prishtina...!!!

Welcome to the forum. It is the tallest in all of the Balknas west/east you name it.

Sofia's future Europe Tower will be taller (180 m)

Bastards.

You got this and WTC. Not bad for a start and who knows what future projects will come up.

Are you kidding me? Prishtina in going to be New York of balkans

First of all Sofias Europe Tower, for now is just a proposal... It might or might not be built...

Second of all, the Europe Tower is 180 m... BUT, it has an antenna...

Actually, if it's only an antenna that makes a building just a centimeter higher then thats what counts unfortunately. 7t is right though, there are many other quality projects going on in Prishtinë. And who knows how many more there are to come.:cheers:

Actually, if it's only an antenna that makes a building just a centimeter higher then thats what counts unfortunately.

Im not sure if I understand you correctly... What do you mean? :dunno: that an antenna doesnt affect the height so much? Or do you mean that the height with the antenna is what matters - when measuring height?


As an example, Avaz Twist Tower in Sarajevo is 140m tall, counting from the rooftop (38th floor)... But with the antenna, it is 172m tall...

^^My bad it's not antennas but Spires that count according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.

I remember when the Sears tower in Chicago lost it's title of tallest building in the world to the Petronas Towers in Indonesia, it was because of the spires at the top of the building. Even though the Sears tower had inhabited floors higher than Petronas it lost.

Spire -
an architectural or decorative feature of a skyscraper; the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat includes spires but not antennae when calculating the official height of a skyscraper.

Kosovos Tallest Underway
Published on 23-04-2008 by Skyscrapernews.com



A skyline defining project is beginning construction in Prishtina, the capital city of Kosovo which recently became independent making it the youngest country in Europe.

The once war torn country is currently enjoying a flurry of activity in the architecture stakes, this project will see some new life breathed into the capital.

Standing at 165 metres, the project named The ENK Complex after its investors the ENK Investment Group, comes from the grey matter of architects, Anarch, and is being developed by Konstruktor.

Coming with a price tag of 400 million euros the complex has a somewhat unusual look about it. It's dominated by a single tower but rising from the shared podium are other adjacent blocks of different heights giving it a stepped look. Concrete ridges and balconies picked out on the glass facades also enhance this look.

Set on a wide podium base the complex will offer over 285,000 square metres of floor space which will accommodate high end office spaces, apartments, hotels and of course what no project should ever be without shoe shops... well retail space in general.

On the varying parts of roof which are quite numerous for one project, sky gardens feature heavily giving leafy relief for stressed out workers or those weary from to much shoe shopping. These roofs and the almost heaped profile of the buildings, particularly when viewed from certain angles, give it the impression of a massive glass termite mound teaming with humans.

The glazed facades will aid in climate control as well as giving views of the surrounding countryside though how long it will remain countryside is debateable with offers of investment flooding in from all over the world.

The complex is hoped to be open for business in the next five to six years and will no doubt have all the things expected of a multi use spaces such as gyms, spas and pools, giving the people of Kosovo some much needed R+R space as well as a prestigious address for those that can afford it.

Phase one is due to be completed in 2011 with phase 2 coming in three years later in 2014.

Sorry about that, but you understood my point still. But your attitude is just so annoying against me. Why so?

Ndërprerjen e punimeve të ndërtimit 42 katesh
në “Lakrishte”, investuesi i saj e quan si punë të keqe
të komunës, që do të ketë ndikim të keq për investuesit e
huaj në Kosovë. Komuna thotë se punimet kanë filluar
ilegalisht dhe ndërtimi nuk do të vazhdojë pa leje ndërtimi.



Prishtinë 27 maj —
Edmond Kërliu, drejtori
i “ENK Invest-Group”, i
cili është investues i ndërtimit
të rrokaqiellit në
lagjen “Lakrishte” të
kryeqytetit, thotë se nuk e
kupton arsyen e ndaljes
së punimeve të këtij
ndërtimi 42 katesh, që konsiderohet
më i madhi në Ballkan.
Inspektorati komunal i Prishtinës,
me arsyetimin se për këtë
ndërtim komuna nuk ka dhënë
leje ndërtimi të saj, ka lëshuar
fletë-ndalesën e punimeve të saj,
që kanë filluar tash sa javë.
Kërliu, drejtori i “ENK Invest-
Group”, i cili para një kohe ka lidhur
kontratë me kompaninë
ndërtimore nga Spliti “Konstruktor”
për këtë ndërtim, thotë se
një ndalesë e tillë e punimeve
është lajm shumë i keq për investuesit
e huaj.
“Unë jam vetë investitor dhe
kjo punë është e lajm i keq për
Kosovën. Nuk po e di me çfarë
qëllimi është bërë kjo punë, vërtet
nuk po e kuptoj as vetë”, u
shpreh Kërliu i cili për këtë ndërtim
ka vendosur që t’i investojë
400 milionë euro
Por, pse Kërliu nuk ka marrë
lejen e ndërtimit njëherë para se
të fillojë me punimet, ai nuk përgjigjet.
“Me rëndësi është që kemi lejen
për kushtet urbanistike qysh
para 6 muajve, ndërsa për leje
ndërtimi kemi kërkuar lejen paraprake”,
thotë Kërliu.
Për më shumë rreth kësaj Kërliu
tha se do të flasë të mërkurën,
pasi të kthehet nga Kroacia, ku
për momenti është dhe pasi që
të kryejë takimin që ka me komunën
në orën 12 pasdite, pikërisht
për këtë çështje.
Në anën tjetër, zyrtarët komunalë
thonë se kushtet urbanistike
nuk kanë lidhje me lejen e
ndërtimit. Kushtet urbanistike
kuptojnë vetëm se a lejon ajo hapësirë,
a ka kapacitet për një
ndërtim të tillë, ndërsa leja e
ndërtimit është leje që merret veç
e pa të cilën nuk guxon të niset
asnjë ndërtim, kushdo qofshin
investitorët e saj, tha zëdhënësi
i komunës, Muhamet Gashi.
“Kompania ENK Invest-Group,
e cila ka lidhur kontratë me kompaninë
ndërtuese Konstruktor
nga Kroacia, për ndërtimin e rrokaqiellit
ka pasur vetëm leje paraprake,
por jo edhe lejen e përhershme
të ndërtimit dhe përkundër
kësaj, kjo kompani ka filluar
punët ndërtimore”, tha
Gashi. Kjo leje e përkohshme e
këtij ndërtimi do të thotë se ai ka
mundur vetëm të përgatitet për
fillimin e punimeve të ndërtimit
si rrethimin e hapësirës punuese,
shpimet për analiza përkatëse
apo edhe sjelljen e makinerisë
punuese, por jo edhe t’i fillojë ato
pa lejen përkatëse, shpjegoi
Gashi.
Sa i përket deklaratës se Kërliut,
se një gjë e tillë nga ana e komunës
ndikon për të keq tek investuesit
e huaj, komuna thotë
se është e padrejtë një deklaratë
e tillë, sepse në asnjë mënyrë komuna
nuk është kundër investimeve.
Ajo madje po përpiqet që
sa më shumë të ofrojë mundësitë
për t’u bërë ndërtime të tilla.
“Komuna ka bërë edhe uljen e
taksave të ndërtimit pikërisht për
investitorët që ta përballojnë më
lehtë dhe krejt çka është kërkuar
nga ata ka qenë që t’i respektojnë
planet rregulluese dhe pajisjen
me dokumentacionin përkatës
dhe të paguajnë taksat komunale,
që në këtë rast nuk ka ndodhur”,
tha një zyrtar në komunë pa deshur
që t’i publikohet emri në gazetë.
Në lidhje me këtë ndërtim të
madh 42 katesh dhe të tjerat që
priten së shpejti të fillojnë në
Prishtinë, komuna ka bërë të ditur
para një kohe se ka marrë përsipër
ndërtimin e një fabrike të
ujit, për të cilën vetëm faza e parë
kushton 40 milionë euro, në mënyrë
që t’ u sigurojë ujin e pijshëm
këtyre ndërtesave.
Pa këtë fabrikë, e cila do të
mundësonte që uji të shkojë deri
në 42 kate, nuk do të mund të ketë
fare ndërtimi, patën thënë zyrtarët
komunalë, duke treguar
kështu që po mundohen të
ofrojnë kushtet për kësi lloj investimesh.
Kështu, përkundër këtyre
mundësive, ndërtuesit e objektit
në “Lakrishte”nuk kanë respektuar
as procedurat e nevojshme.
Brenda kësaj ndërtese është paraparë
të ndërtohen qendra tregtare,
banesa luksoze, lokale afariste
e shumë gjëra tjera.
Por, sipas zyrtarëve komunalë,
derisa nuk pajisen me leje ndërtimi
të përhershme, në këtë hapësirë
nuk do të vazhdohen punimet.
Inkasimi që pritet të nxjerrë komuna
nga gjithë ndërtimet e larta
që priten të bëhen në lagjen Lakrishte,
do të jetë rreth 25 milionë Euro.

^^ Translation:

The Municipality of Prishtina has decided to stop the construction works of the ENK Complex.. The reason is ENK Invest Group has only had a project approval, and a temporary building permit.. With this temporary building permit, it is only allowed to prepare the construction site, but not to actually start construction works.. Despite this, the construction works has been ongoing for several weeks now.. Construction works will not be allowed to resume as normal, until ENK Invest Group receives a permanent building permit..

Edmond Kerliu, director of ENK Invest Group has a meeting with the Municipality of Prishtina 12 o'clock on Wednesday (today or next week??), regarding this issue....

ENK should have known better, anyway hope it goes smoothly and construction continues.

Lets just hope that they come to an agreement very fast, and the construction works aren't delayed with more than just a few days...

^ Thats good. I support the municipality. If ENK Invest Group is a well established company than im sure they will have no problem obtaining the permit.

This was a shock, i couldn't expect this kind news for this project im really suprised. I thought all is done. Is there any chance not to build this project, i mean if komuna don't give permission to not build this project. I hope that's not going to happen.

Oups! :)

WTF since when is the project ON HOLD???I visited the thread about 2 weeks ago and from what I read in it, clearing works had begun!!!Is this gonna be another nice project not realized because of some bullshit Balkanic bureaucracy...because the same thing happened to some high rise projects in Sofia :bash: First they say it is on hold and 3 months later they come out with...well finally we will not built the project we will simply sell the plot :(

Well the main investor has a meeting with the municipality tomorrow and we will see what comes out of it. Hopefully they will resolve whatever misunderstandings there is. I dont think it should be a problem as the investor already has a licence which says that the building does not ruin the urban plan of the city. That is the most important thing. From some media articles, they are missing the building permit, so hopefully this wont become a huge problem.

The project is not cancelled... The issue here, is that ENK Invest Group started construction of the complex, with just a temporary building permit. According to the municipality of prishtina, construction works are only allowed to start with a permanent building permit... The temporary building permit however, is just for preparations before construction works... Lets hope ENK and the municipality, comes to an agreement as soon as possible, so the construction works can continue..

kjo eshte stili e shqiptarve me punu pa leje, asgje tre nuk ka per kete lajme.

I think they have big problems to continue with this project, they have spoken long time now over a week i think, wtf they are doing.

^^ This matter cannot be solved in a week, give it time.

Për rrokaqiellin famoz 42-katesh të Lakërishtës ende s’ka leje
ndërtimi. Inspektorët komunalë kanë kërkuar nga policia të
ndalojë punimet e filluara. Ndërsa, sigurimi i fondeve për
ndërtesën më të lartë në Ballkan, nuk duket aq mirë. Por, Edmond
Kërliu, investitor i ndërtimit, mbetet optimist i matur.



http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x229/mamani_ks/a2.jpg



Prishtinë, 6 qershor — Rrokaqielli
më i madh në Ballkan është
paraparë të ndërtohet në lagjen
Lakërishte në Prishtinë. Kështu
është paralajmëruar nëpër të gjitha
mediat përmes disa slajteve
kompjuterike të punuara me
mjaft mjeshtëri nga arkitektë të
zgjuar. Mirëpo, deri më tani, e tëra
ka mbetur vetëm një pamje mahnitëse
virtuale e një ndërtesë moderne
futuristike.
Ndonëse është pritur me padurim
të shihet fillimi i ndërtimit
të këtij rrokaqielli, projekti ende
nuk ka marrë bekimin nga Komuna
e Prishtinës. Tani për tani,
ana e prekshme e këtij projekti
mbetet vetëm maketi i ekspozuar
para disa muajve.
Objekti 42-katesh, i cili është
thënë se do të përfundojë pas
gjashtë vitesh e që do të kushtojë
rreth 400 milionë euro, përpos lejes
paraprake që i është dhënë
për përgatitjen e terrenit për ndërtim,
ajo nuk ka marrë ende leje
ndërtimi.
Hapin më serioz, inspektorët
komunalë e kanë marrë të enjten,
kur kanë kërkuar nga forcat policore
për të vënë shiritat e verdhë
për ndalim të punimeve të
këtij kompleksi banesor.
Zyrtarët komunalë thonë se ky
veprim është bërë për shkak se
pronari i ‘ENK Invest Grup’ ende
nuk ka aplikuar për leje ndërtimi.
“Deri më sot kompania “ENK
Invest Group” nuk është pajisur
me leje ndërtimore. Nuk e ka dorëzuar
projektin e ndërtimit dhe
për këtë nuk ka leje ndërtimi. Nuk
do të lejohet as edhe një hap në
ndërtim pa këtë leje. Ndoshta nuk
iu ka ra në mend më herët”, thotë
Muhamet Gashi, zëdhënës i KK
Prishtinë, duke shtuar se nëse do
të bëhet aplikimi për leje dhe i
plotësohen kushtet e kërkuar nga
Komuna, pas një procedure të
rregullt do të mund të jepet leja
e ndërtimit.
Por, për Edmond Kërliun, drejtori
i “ENK Invest-Group” – i cili
është investitor i ndërtimit të rrokaqiellit
në lagjen “Lakërishte” të
kryeqytetit – mbetet e pakuptueshme
arsyeja e një hapi të tillë
nga Komuna e Prishtinës për një
projekt që, siç e quan ai, kaq pozitiv
për Kosovën.
Kërliu thotë se tashmë po bëhen
vetëm punët përgatitore dhe
se për këtë ka marrë lejen. Ndërsa,
sa i përket faktit që deri më tani
nuk ka aplikuar për leje ndërtimi,
ai sqaron se së pari pritet të bëhet
përfundimi i projektit dhe se
më së largu më datën 13 qershor
do të dërgojë dokumente për aplikim.
“Ne nuk kemi filluar të ndërtojmë.
Aty vetëm bëhet pastrimi
i terrenit për të filluar ndërtimin
e rrokaqiellit. Pas mbledhjes së
investitorëve dhe pas përfundimit
të projektit, ne do të aplikojmë
për të marrë lejen e ndërtimit.
Nuk kam aplikuar deri më tani,
sepse projekti nuk ka qenë i përfunduar
tërësisht”, thotë Kërliu.
Sa i përket investimit në ndërtimin
e këtij kompleksi banesor,
Kërliu tregon se deri më tani janë
shpenzuar 35 milionë euro,
ndërsa në fazën e dytë të ndërtimit
ai thotë se i duhen edhe 30
milionë të tjera investime.
“Kemi investuar 35 milionë
euro. Nga kjo shumë vetëm pesë
milionë kemi marrë kredi nga
banka Raiffeisen, dokumentet e
kredisë janë në bankë, ku mund
t’i shihni. Deri më tani vetëm 5
milionë i kam marrë kredi, nuk
më duhen më shumë”, thotë Kërliu.
Ndonëse është thënë se përfundimi
i projektit do të kushtojë
400 milionë euro, ai thotë se këto
të holla nuk janë ende, mirëpo,
sipas tij, ato do të investohen në
faza të ndryshme të ndërtimit.
“Ne kemi filluar të ndërtojmë.
Nuk do të thotë që në ditën e
parë të kemi 400 milionë euro.
Edhe nëse një shtëpi private
kushton 100 mijë euro, nuk do të
thotë se të hollat sigurohen që në
ditën e parë. Ato të holla investohen
gjatë kohës së ndërtimit”,
thotë Kërliu.
Ai shpreson se do të përfitojë
edhe nga Konferenca e donatorëve
për Kosovën që planifikohet
të mbahet më 11 korrik të këtij
viti. Aty, Kërliu thotë se do të
ofrojnë bashkëpunim me biznese
të ndryshme që gjithashtu ofrojnë
bashkëpunim.
“Na ka ardhur ftesë që të marrim
pjesë në konferencën e donatorëve.
Kemi oferta prej shumë
bankave, nuk dihet se pas dy vitesh
ku do të marrim të holla.
Janë krejt bisedime, ne jemi në
treg dhe ka shumë të interesuar.
Është konferenca e donatorëve,
askush nuk ka ekskluzivitet ndaj
neve. Aty do të ofrojmë bashkëpunim”,
bën të ditur Kërliu.
Kohë më parë, në media ishte
thënë se bashkëpunëtorë në këtë
investim gjigant në kryeqytet përpos
ENK Inves Group, do të jenë
edhe firmat Dajti, Olti Trasing
dhe Melihate Jusufi.
Ky lajmërim është përgënjeshtruar
nga vetë Kërliu. Ai thotë se
emrat e këtyre kompanive dhe
personave, të cilët janë përmendur
kohë më parë në media si
bashkëpunëtorë, për të janë të
panjohur.
“Unë nuk i njoh këta persona.
Mediat kanë shkruar, por unë nuk
kam pasur kohë të merrem me
këto gjëra”, thotë ai. Këtë e pohojnë
edhe udhëheqësit e kompanisë
Dajti.
“Ne kemi marrë lejen për ndërtim
të banesës kolektive në lagjen
Lakrishte, mirëpo ajo është e
veçantë dhe nuk ka të bëjë asgjë
me kompleksin banesor të ENK
Invest Group”, thotë njëri prej
udhëheqësve të kompanisë Dajti.

Quick recap please :D Good or bad news?

^^

Quick recap please :D Good or bad news?


The investors obviously, think they should be given some special treatment by the municipality, since this is such a giant project - and that they shouldnt have been so "harsh" with beuarocratic procedures.. the municipality blocked the construction works, until a permanent building permit gets granted to them..



They have not been given a permanent building permit by the municipality, because they haven't handed over all documentations yet... The investors says all necessary documentations will be handed over to the municipality at 13 June the latest...


Financing is not yet secured entirely...But the investors insist that the money will come along with the construction process, and that there are many interested in participating in co-financing the project...

Do you really think this project will realize after this..No way

Havent checked this thread for a while? You say...

Do you really think this project will realize after this..No way

Vazhdon ndërtimi pa leje i rrokaqiellit

63 ndërtime evidencohen për dy ditë nga kompania “Park Projekt”

Prishtinë, 1 korrik - Objekti më i lartë në kryeqytet që është planifikuar të ndërtohet në lagjen “Lakërishte” po vazhdon të ngrihet pa leje të Komunës. Të hënën ai është evidencuar edhe nga kompania “Park Projekt”, e cila ka marrë përsipër evidencimin e të gjitha objekteve që po ndërtohen në kryeqytet.

"Koha Ditore"

E NDALIN 42 KATESHEN

Komuna e
Prishtinës thotë
se e ka marrë
shumë seriozisht
moslejimin e
ndërtimeve të reja
pa leje. Gjatë
vikendit ata kanë
ndalur punimet e
ndërtimit 42-
katesh në Lakrishtë
me pronar
Edmond Kerliun.

Besiana Xharra
besiana.xharra@gazetaexpress.com
Prishtinë, 20 korrik —
jatë vikendit, Inspektorati
komunal i Prishtinës
përsëri ka ndaluar
punimet e ndërtimit të
objektit 42-katesh, në
lagjen Lakrishtë.
Investitori i këtij ndërtimi,
Edmond Kërliu, pronar i
kompanisë së ndërtimit, “Enk Invest
Grup”, ende nuk ka marrë lejen
nga Komuna për ndërtim,
prandaj edhe i janë ndalur punimet,
tregojnë zyrtarët komunalë.
“Të shtunën, gjata daljes në terren,
Inspektorati ka vërejtur për
punimet që po bëhen në atë hapësirë,
ende pa u marrë leja e
ndërtimit dhe ka dhënë urdhër
për t’i ndalur”, tha zëdhënësi i KKsë,
Muhamet Gashi.
Është e dyta herë që Kerliut po
i ndalen punimet, për këtë objekt
nga Komuna.
Herën e parë, diku para rreth
dy muajsh, punëtorët e tij patën
filluar gropimin e hapësirës dhe
Komuna i ka ndaluar ata dhe përreth
hapësirës ka vënë shiritin për
të mos filluar përsëri, deri në plotësimin
e kushteve, pra në marrjen
e lejes.
Atë kohë, edhe pse flitej aq
shumë për një investim të tillë, që
Prishtina do të këtë ndërtesën më
të lartë në Ballkan, leja e ndërtimit,
investimet s’kanë qenë as afër
realizimit. Kërliu as që ka aplikuar
për leje ndërtimi gjatë asaj kohe.
Por, tani ai duket se ka filluar
përsëri me ndërtim, pasi që
tashmë ka aplikuar për të marrë
lejen në Komunë, por, sipas zyrtarëve,
edhe pse ka aplikuar, përsëri
punimet nuk mund të fillojnë,
sepse dhënia e lejes është akoma
në procedurë.
“Investitori ka aplikuar për leje,
por ky është një ndërtim i madh
dhe duhet kohë për t’u kryer procedurat
derisa t`i jepet leja. Ai njëherë
për njëherë ka lejen vetëm
për kushte urbanistike, por jo edhe
për ndërtim”, tha zëdhënësi Gashi.
Kështu, pas paralajmërimeve
të mëdha për këtë rrokaqiell, pas
prezantimeve mes sajteve kompjuterike
se si do të duket një kompleks
i tillë, i punuar me mjaft
mjeshtëri nga arkitektë të zgjuar,
askush nuk e ka menduar se qysh
në start të ndërtimit nuk do ecin
punët mirë.
Edmond Kërliu nuk u është lajmëruar
thirrjeve telefonike, por
ai vetëm para disa dite ka thënë
për Express se ndërprerjen e punimeve
e sheh si punë të keqe të
Komunës që do të ketë ndikim të
keq për investitorët e huaj në Kosovë.
Një investim i tillë kap vlerën
prej 400 milionë eurosh dhe pritet
të ndërtohet mbas gjashtë vjetësh,
por nëse do të sigurohen paratë
edhe prej investitorëve të
tjerë, që Kërliu shpreson që do të
ketë.
Por, për momentin, puna ka
ngecur te leja e ndërtimit, edhe
pse Kërliun e shqetësojnë veprimet
e Komunës. Komuna thotë
se sapo të jepet leja, punimet

If you could put a short english translation when posting such things that would be nice :cheers:
I understood 42 kateshen ;)

the Municipality of Pristina again stopped the work of the 42 building. The ydont have the construction license...so municipality is very strikt on this. 8 years were some kind of uncontrolled construction, so municipality is demolishing illegal building and stopping the new ones to start....for the moment they r very strickt about this.
there is request made to local authorities for license, so municipality said they have to wait for license before start work....
and in the end i toltally agree with them, they have to respect some rules....

well, basically ENK's application for a building permit - is still just under evaluation... Still, they are doing some construcion works illegally (without the building permit) - so the municipality is forced to stop them...

This is how the ENK Complex construction site looked like recently (approximately a month ago):

OK thanks.

While i agree about laws being respected it seems odd that all those 5 storey "houses" were allowed to be built while a big big project like this is being made to wait for something like a licence. Dont get me wrong the company should have gotten all the necessary documents before construction but if you were in charge of the license's wouldnt you try to speed up the process??? Its a massive investment that everyone benefits from (including the municipality with all the taxes etc... )

Is this really just a case of the municipality being strict about the law or is it likely that its due to "other" reasons? You know different political forces, municipal officers not being adequatley "compensated"......

The thanks was for plisat but thanks Skanderbeg also :lol: :cheers:

To me its seems like the reasons for the delay are: the municipality being strict, and financing problems for ENK Invest... They still haven't secured all the money needed for this giant (400 mill. euro), and we dont know exactly how much has been invested in the company or lended from banks... they haven't paid the building permit fee yet either - which is of course a condition to get a building permit...

If they would have had all the money from the beginning, this project could have been finished within 2-3 years (like other similar sized projects)... Maybe thats why ENK Invest has planned to build it within 6 years :dunno:

the municapality cannot allow some people to work without permit and others no. the rules are for evone same....
the new major is doing a good job, he is fully supporting projects like this and other incoming projects...but throught proper channels....
imagine he is demolishing now in city all illegal building, and allowing a illegal building to be build at same time. it wont look so nice....

OK, thanks for the explanation guys, i only know what you guys post here and it seemed a bit unusual thats all, but this is the balkans after all and it wouldnt be the first project to be announced and then delayed for whatever reason. Hope it gets all the permits and financing soon.

Good point :lol:
The point i was making was that for a project this big it seemed odd that the permit thing was taking that long. Ofcourse illegal building is a massive problem in Macedonia also and its good to hear your mayor doing something about it.

maybe its a signal to start bribing the municipality

Looks like Isa Mustafa (Mayor) is taking his job seriously, just recently he threatened a suburban district that if the inhabitants didn't free the usurped public property, he wont build their street, guess what: they did! unbelievable huh ?

And just two days ago he threatened two companies (Gashi-ING & Eksavatori) which delayed a road more than 5 MONTHS, that if they didn't finish it by the end of the week, the contract with the municipality would be suspended, guess what: they almost finished and the road is going to be inaugurated this sunday

I'm really starting to like this guy

^^ Isa seems like the best mayor in a long time... About time someone takes his job seriously..

Btw: do you have any idea, whats going on with ENK Complex? Are the construction works still going on - even without a building permit?

Finally some good news :

ENK got a permit for the first six floors, according to the municipality they can get the permit for the other floors as they progress

I'll try to get the news article soon

YES!!!!! :banana: :cheers: :applause: :cheers1:

I think the thread should be moved to "U/C (under construction)" now, right?

I think the thread should be moved to "U/C (under construction)" now, right?

absolutely! but where did you read about this if I may ask? :D

INFO PRESS, a newspaper, I can't find it now but perhaps we can find that online

Construction site, to the right on the photo:

HUH??? :weird:

I think the thread should be moved to "U/C (under construction)" now, right?

When there will be construction, the status will change.

^^ Listen, that is what the newspaper said, the reason for this is supposedly because they paid 1million for the "six floor permit" and don't have the money to pay for the whole building right now but are going to gather it later, however they dont want to "drag" the constructions much further

Seems like that in kosovo one project looks very hard to realize and lots of problems. Nice nice.

HUH??? :weird:

ENK Invest Group has still not secured all the hundred millions of euros needed to build the entire complex... Therefore I doubt they are willing to pay all the taxes for the entire project at once - at this time...

BCprishtina is saying that he has read in INFOPRESS that ENK and the Municipality has come to an agreement - to split the projects building permits (and tax payments) in different phases... As the construction progresses, their strategy is to attract more investors along the way - while at the same as they sell and rent out different parts of the project...



When there will be construction, the status will change.

Look at the most recent photos from 10th. August.. You can clearly see construction works progressing (digging)...

I'll try to find an article confirming this 100% eventually..

this is starting to get ridiculous. i dont understand how they plan on doing this in phases, the maximum phases I can imagine is three. nobody wants to live in a building under construction especially if you're paying a lot of money for rent. I also dont understand how people can start building something this massive without the money in the first place, it's the riskiest thing ever imagined. someone said they paid something like 1 million euros for the permit of the first 6 floors, this makes me question their source. thats a very large cost for just 6 floors.

^^

It makes sence since its probably the base structure...the first floors are the base of the entire complex, which will house a shopping center (+ the 5 underground floors)... The office tower, hotel, and appartment complex will stand upon this structure..

Taxes are paid based on how many square meters you are going to build, and the base (the shopping center + underground parking space) of ENK is pretty big... We are not talking about a regular 6-story building here...

so.... we'll see...

maybe if it's one square mile, a million dollars for a permit of not even 1/4 of the structure is ridiculous.

.....and what exactly did you expect? ....100 000 dollars? :lol:
The taxes and fees are probably going to amount up to several millions in total... Thats at least what I have read earlier in Express - of what municipality officials expected in incomes from the proposed projects in Lakrishte.. the number mentioned was 20 million Euro :nuts:

Im affraid this is turning to be a fiasco project, hope Im wrong.

hope you are wrong too.... I think there is still hope... the recent photos also show that they are working in the construction site.. So, we'll see...

No one will start building smthing that he cannot finish, only if he is totally stuppid.
He started working so I think he will build smthing, it will be 40 floors or 10 floors that is the question!?
The work is ongoing so he is alrady spending money....

OK, good news:



Megjithatë në Prishtinë do të ndërtohet objekti 42 katësh - më i madhi në rajon


Objekti 42 katësh, që ishte konsideruar si projekti më madhor në rajon, megjithatë do të ndërtohet në kryeqytetin e vendit tonë, pasi tashmë është pajisur me lejen e ndërtimit. Fillimisht, përfaqësuesit e kompanisë ndërtuese kishin hasur në probleme nga komuna pasi kishin filluar punimet para se të pajiseshin me leje ndërtimi. Yllëza Karaxhiu, përfaqësuese e kompanisë “ENK Invest Grup”, nga muaji gusht janë pajisur me leje ndërtimi dhe punët po shkojnë sipas parashikimeve.
Kompania “ENK Invest” ka nënshkruar më 17 Prill kontratën me kompaninë “Konstruktori” nga Kroacia, për ndërtimin e kompleksit banesor afarist në lagjen “Lakërishte” në Prishtinë. Edhe 6 muaj pas nënshkrimit të kontratës kompania ENKA nuk e ka dorëzuar në KK të Prishtinës projektin final, i cili do t’i mundësonte asaj pajisjen me lejen e ndërtimit.
Asdren Osaj, këshilltari për informim i kryetarit Isa Mustafa, thotë se komuna deri tani ka lëshuar leje vetëm për ndërtimin e pjesës nëntokësore, me që ata kanë dorëzuar dokumentacion vetëm për atë pjesë.

“42 katëshi...pronaret e firmës ENKA kanë aplikuar ne KK të Prishtinës. Ne si komunë kemi lëshuar lejen për ndërtim, për pjesën nëntokësore, sepse deri tani kanë dorëzuar dokumentacion vetëm për atë pjese. Kanë mare leje urbanistike, e cila thekson se lejohet ndërtimi në atë pjesë të Prishtinës, por ende nuk e kanë marrë lejen e ndërtimit për tërë objektin. Komuna nuk është e gatshme t’ua japë lejen sepse ende nuk kanë dorëzuar projektin detaj, se si do të duket objekti ne fjalë. Është procedure ligjore e cila duhet te respektohet. Për t’u dhënë leja, duhet të dorëzohet edhe projekti detaj. Në momentin qe dorëzohet ai projekt, komuna është e gatshme ta pajisë firmën me lejen e ndërtimit”, ka sqaruar Osaj.

Ndërkaq përfaqësuesja e firmës Enka, Yllëza Karaxhiu thotë se ata tani janë pajisur me lejen e ndërtimit dhe të gjitha punët po shkojnë sipas parashikimeve të tyre.
“Në gusht e kemi marrë lejen e ndërtimit. Jo, jo nuk kemi asfarë problemi, e kemi marrë lejen, njësoj sikur në projektin ideor”, thotë Kërxhaliu.

Yllëza Karaxhiu hedh poshtë spekulimet se objekti nuk do të jetë sikurse është prezantuar në projektin ideor. Sipas saj qëllimi i investitorëve është që projekti të përfundojë ashtu siç parashihej dhe që kohëzgjatja e përfundimit të mos kalojë 6 vite.

Astrit Nixha, udhëheqës i kompanisë Anarch, e cila ka për detyre realizimin projektit final thotë se punët janë duke shkuar mirë dhe projekti është duke u realizuar në faza. Kjo sipas Nixhës, për arsye të kostos financiare:
Ndërkohë Osaj këshilltar, i kryetarit Isa Mustafa, thotë se komuna e Prishtinës është e gatshme ta ndihmojë jo vetëm atë, por të gjithë investitorët të cilët janë të gatshëm të investojnë në territorin e komunës së Prishtinës.
Një gatishmëri të tillë e ka premtuar edhe ministri i Ekonomisë dhe Financave Ahmet Shala, prezent gjatë nënshkrimit të kontratës për fillimin e punimeve në këtë objekt:

Përkundër pohimeve të ndryshme, se punimet në ndërtesën 42 katëshe nuk po shkojnë si duhet, përfaqësues të firmës investuese dhe byrosë projektuese mohojnë një gjë të tillë. Sipas tyre gjithçka po shkon sipas planit të parashikuar dhe marrja e lejes përfundimtare do të bëhet në kohën e caktuar. Për këtë ata edhe janë duke punuar që plani kryesor i projektit të përfundojë në kohën e duhur në mënyrë që edhe komuna ti pajisë me lejen përfundimtare.

Kjo lagje sipas planeve do të përbëhet nga sipërfaqja ndërtimore prej 435 mijë e 294 metra katrorë, sipërfaqe të rrugëve 151 mijë 078 metra katrorë, do të ketë 5 mijë 342 apartamente, ku planifikohet të banojnë rreth 21 mijë e 400 banorë, apo dhjetë herë më shumë se sot.

AltinD: Change the project status to "U/C"...

:cheers2:

a u bashku tema?

^^ cfar bashkimi? Ky projekt ka temë (thread) ne veti, ashtu qe une e citova ate te cilen e postove ti ne "Prishtina Projects & Construction Updates" - ketu..

eallier today i went to the site of the enk complex and they are working right now . digging a deeper hole. one of the workers said it will be fully complete 2018 a very long time but itll be worth it then i guess even tho enk wont be the only 42 storey scraper in the city in 2018..

^^ 2018? Let's hope that worker doesn't know what he's talking about...

Did you take some photos of the construction site btw?

yeah of course it complete by 2018, because they build one floor in month.

yea i have atleast 300 photos of prishtina city alone that i have taken in a 2 week period and yea i think that worker knew what he was talking bout bcuz he was sum high manager or sumthing like that

This is too funny really because first of all this project should finished in 6 years, then they change it to 2018, after 2 weeks they will say we will not build this project,hhahaha

yea i have atleast 300 photos of prishtina city alone that i have taken in a 2 week period and yea i think that worker knew what he was talking bout bcuz he was sum high manager or sumthing like that

Thats great... I hope you'll post those photos soon...

I only care about the ENK Complex getting built.. It will not be the only skyscraper project in Prishtina during the next decade - thats for sure... :cheers:

So that is 10 years. WOW. I hope nothing happens to me or anyone who really wants to see this project complete until then. :lol:

10 years sounds waaaaay too much to complete this project.... anyway, we'll see.. According to ENK Invest, in that article posted above - everything is on schedule and going as planned:

Sipas saj qëllimi i investitorëve është që projekti të përfundojë ashtu siç parashihej dhe që kohëzgjatja e përfundimit të mos kalojë 6 vite.

Lets not speculate on the completion time - based on what some worker said...

Even if it takes 10 years at least it will keep some people employed until then. Cant wait until this project is done it will be nice.

userfree: thats pretty true and it is a long time but its going to be worth it

Where has Altin been lately? Its certainly time to change the status of the project back to "U/C"...

Architect 4M Group reveals ENK Hotel green designs

03.10.08

Architect 4M Group revealed its green designs for the ENK Hotel in Kosovo last week as part of a three-day programme of debates on sustainability called Green Sky Studios.

Twenty-five London architecture practices took part. The ENK Hotel is being developed by ENK Invest Group and is oriented to minimise solar gain. It also features a shading system.

A computer designed my windows
9 October, 2008

By Michael Willoughby



Mixed use scheme in Kosovo maps and mitigates solar gain throughout the year

Computer-generated architecture might conjure up images of Gehry and Zaha-type schemes of dubious sustainability credentials.

But digital technology has helped the façade of this mixed use scheme in Prishtina, Kosovo, to combat solar gain while maintaining aesthetic integrity.

Southwark-based 4M Group’s design implements a ‘self shading mechanism’ whereby south facing panels are extruded to cast shadows or, north facing, pushed outwards to let the light in.

In designing the façade, the computer programme analysed the angle that the sun would hit the building during the spring and autumn equinoxes.



http://www.bdonline.co.uk/Pictures/web/e/l/r/Prishtina_panels.jpg



Director, Përparim Rama, said that balancing the aesthetic and practical aspects of the building frontage was important. “The façade studies take as an underlying assumption that [they] are interfaces between building interiors and their environment. As such, they have to negotiate internal with external conditions while establishing a desired identity.”

To create the pattern, the programme took into account the overshadowing from neighbouring masses and each 1,100mm square panel received a composite value - direct light and overshadowing. This was mitigated by the function of the specific floor the panel sits on. Each function also included the amount of privacy required in each case.The panels are being constructed from various materials including textured glass and wooden slats.

ENK Invest, Kosovo are funding the project. The hotel received planning in April and is currently under construction.

the foundation area is pretty big. great news that construction has started.
hopefully it finishes.

Nice, really impressive experiment. I also read the brochure, they have already planned for the starbuck's, however I was surprised by how rocky their English is. Just on first sentence, "As a [should be the] capital of Kosova, Prishtina is located in the central part of Kosova [of the country] covering an area of 572 km2.", and it does not get much better as you go on.
I think they should be better with such things considering that they expect a lot, if not most, of their customers to be foreign.

their english is an embarrassment....its bad in the brochure, its even worse in the website.. Maybe they are still working on it, the updates are very recent..

cool fascade details:

Wow, deep hole! Great update Skanderbeg.

Thanks. And the hole is even deeper in the middle of the construction site... So far about 50% has been excavated...
The works on the previous photo, is related to the retaining walls.

Thanks for the photos Ultimo. :)

This is such a massive project. I dont think i have actualy seen a hole this big for any project so far in the SSC.

Thanks for sharing these photos ultimo!

The thing is that in the website it says that only 44% of the area has been excavated until now. So the hole will be much deeper than it is! :cheers:

I extracted some other images from the website

Actually, Raiffeisen Bank never officially confirmed that they granted a loan to the Enk Invest Group. It may have been just media speculations. It was rumoured that Raiffeisen Bank will be one of the big tenants in the complex as well..
