I like this very much, very sleek and elegant!:cheers:

i think they should bring out all the nigerian projects from the west african project thread and start posting them like you did.theres like 70 pages of projects just sitting there.

ps: i like it to. it one of my favorite nigerian projects.:)

Good! Construction ends 2010, meaning,it`s approved.

^^That building is already under construction. Its in one of the pics, I posted in Abuja Thread.

It is? Thanks for the Info.:)

Great looking building, although I don't like the name; Porter's just doesn't sound right.

Lol how scary...that looks very similar to Portside which was just approved in Cape Town.

i always see a lake in the background of these abuja projects. is it artificial?

I highly doubt a lake will be built along with it; it is right in the CBD.

Here is the construction pic of Porter's Tower

sorry to get off subject but,

Håkønljzberg can you or anyone find some pics of the 25 storey highrise by profund properties.(the one on youtube). they said it will be finish by 2008, and the year's almost over.

that pic doesn't look anything like the rendering

that pic doesn't look anything like the rendering
That's because its actually the construction project going on BEHIND (and mostly hidden by) the pictured bank building...lol!

Great find, Hakon...!

You are extremely good at digging it, thanks Hakon...!

Like it`s South African building project in Nigeria, Lydon?

Like it`s South African building project in Nigeria, Lydon?

Sorry? Don't understand what's your asking.

Sorry? Don't understand what's your asking.Lol... Hahaha! I was just pulling your legs as regard 'Lol how scary...that looks very similar to Portside which was just approved in Cape Town.'

just so you know, construction has started on porter's tower. we just got to find the right pic and location. its completion date is said to be 2010. (2 year constrution period needed to build a highrise.)

Any update for this port's tower project?

from the ongoing work is unimaginable how this building project worth 50 million dollars. I thought it's 50 Naira(the Nigerian currency) not until I saw it myself on their website. link here (http://www.mattersonproperties.com/porter.php)

the porters tower made it on to emporis. according to emporis when built it wil be the tallest building in abuja.

Tallest! That's not so tall.

It should come the 3rd tallest after the 50 storey mall and the Millennium Tower.

Tallest! That's not so tall.

who knows it may turn out to look taller than what the rendering makes it look like

i doubt that mall is being built hopefully it will, and the millenium tower isnt an actual skyscraper its more of a monument.

Hello People, I just got back from Abuja about a month ago. I did not see any construction vaguely resembling this building. if indeed it is under construction, they must still be at about foundation stages.

Hi N.A.R. welcome to Skyscrapercity and thanks for the info...

Photos don't lie. We have seen images of the construction progress and it's well above foundation level.

which photo...you mean the photo on page 1, 'cause thats the BOI building not porters tower.

oh! Thank you for the correction. BOI building, what's that?

BOI = Bank of Industry.

The photo on page 1 does resemble the Porters Tower render somewhat so I'm not sure what the true status is.

The project will start off 2011.

come on it was suposed to be completed in 2010 now i hear it will start in 2011. how do you know this ftoc?

I read it somewhere on the internet journal, though, the mattersonproperties.com fix the completion date at 2010. SA is going through economic recession at the moment.So, I don't think this project will come along very soon.
