Since I havn't been to Borås in ages, I can't really picture the location, it looks a bit deserted? What buildings surrounds that area?

And I love Pinocchio, wern't people furious when they decided to build that statue? I vaguely remember that anyway.

Nice one!

i have some very recent pics of the surrounding area,i will try to find them and upload them to see the effects of the project in the area

Lovely, any dates?

hehe ok i'll edit...

It looks a lot higher than 60 metres. Is it 25-30 floors? it must be then at least 80 metres.

It looks like a PS2! :lol:

But it's beautiful! =O

isnt it 60m way too low for a 27fl building?

Looks like a really large building compared to its surroundings and the city. Design might not fit too well in.

This one is dead!
So the thread can be closed I suppose.
They are going to build another 30 floor building in Borås.
