Musiddiqui I think he meant the 80 Floor KPT Tower Complex not the 1947 ft Tower. Both of them have been labeled as KARACHI - Port Tower, I think that the 2nd one should be called Port Tower, as thats what I've heard it being called.

@ Buyckske

Yeah, thanks!! :) We thought of sharing some of the projects going on in Pakistan's 3 main cities, as we have accumulated enough pics, renders, data, location maps & videos on them.

You can check out this thread for the KARACHI - Port Tower Complex, in the Supertalls section: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=460243

that is gorgeous..

just to know.. is that expensive to live there?

:happy:

just to know.. is that expensive to live there?

Well its touted as a 6-star residential development. So it is likely to be expensive. I only have this post (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=5773960&postcount=24) to go by which says that a 4-Bedroom Apartment costs 38 Million Pakistani Rupees. Maybe someone else knows more. :dunno: Keep in mind though that recently the price of the Pakistani Rupee has devalued from 60 to a Dollar to almost 80 to a Dollar now. So its price might have changed. However, there is demand for it, thats why such projects are being built in Pakistan.

please also add the icon tower and i think you have also forgotten about the ubl tower and the clifton finance and trade centre

sorry.... but i thought work had already started on the clifton finance and trade centre for sure and i was not sure about the ubl tower

No worries man. Its okay :hug: And I just checked the Clifton Finance & Trade Centre thread. Only 2 pics of it render and a useless discussion on its design. Nothing else.

website:

http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/7277/post24811188852474at.jpg

Hi KB,

Under "Floors" can you please put 17fl x 12 as we have this info now:

Brig Tirmizi, who assumed office on Sept 6, said that the Creek Vista apartments, which comprise 12 seventeen storey buildings and have over 720 apartments, are now almost ready, and owners would be handed over possession of the apartments between December 2008 and April 2009. The Creek Vista apartments have been constructed over 16 acres, and have a total covered area of over three million feet.

Pile Load Test


http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/497/pileloadtestyn9.jpg

I counted and these are the number of Towers going up in Karachi:

KARACHI: Financial Towers = 2 + Crescent Bay = 45 + Sofitel = 1 + Creek Vista = 12 + Dolmen City = 4 + Creek Marina = 8 + KASB Altitude = 1 + IT Tower = 1 + Colosseum Residences = 2 + Center Point = 1 + Corporate City = 1 + Emerald Tower = 1

Proposed: KPT Tower = 5 + Port tower = 1

Grand Total = 79 + 6 Proposed.

Add to this the Defence Regency = 3 + Saima Bridge View Apartments = 8

So that brings the total U/C towers to 79 + 8 + 3 = 90 Towers

sorry.... but i thought work had already started on the clifton finance and trade centre for sure and i was not sure about the ubl tower

The Clifton Finance and Trade Center might be under construction already. I passed by the site last week at midnight and there was that tripod machine there, and it was working at that time. Lots of pure white smoke was coming out from under the machine, dunno what was going on :dunno:

But it does seem that the tower is in the initial stages of construction.

^^ Then can you please take its pics and post them in its thread. So that they can be eventually posted here?

though are you sure the colloseum residencies is under construction ?

Soon as I get my camera back :ohno:

Come on KB! :mad:

Sorry I have been quite busy of late and haven't logged in much on SSC. You should have just PM'ed me.

Anyway the way I put it as 25+ is that its multiple buildings of multiple heights ( I guess). So I put it at 25+ since 25 is the minimum and others are variable.

If this is not the case, PM me and I will gladly change it. :)

all buildings are of same height that is 27 floors

Soon as I get my camera back :ohno:

Well, hurry up!! I thought you already got it back from that Aunty??

^^ You're welcome anytime. :)



Please have the courtesy to go through the thread and understand it first. Rather than posting ignorant posts. This thread is only about U/C projects. UBL Tower & Clifton Finance and Trade Centre are just proposed projects, we have only seen their renders. There are no U/C pics of them. UBL Tower has been proposed since ages. Sine 2004 if I remember correctly. These 2 projects are likely to never see the light of day. Plus wait for more info Icon Tower. We don't have enough info on it to include it in this thread as of yet. Be patient.

UBL Tower is U/C since ages, its developer is Paragon, its U/C on IIC, near Habib Bank Plaza, in front of NBP, and its design is also changed!! And i think its far ahead of KFT!!

Some Karachiite forumer labeled this as "Saddar Skyline" but on flickr it says "I.I.Chundrigar Skyline". Would any Karachiite forumer care to do away with my confusion?! :?


This is not IIC or saddar, this is area near Governer House, and the 2nd building (from left to right) is Nacon House.

UBL Tower is U/C since ages, its developer is Paragon, its U/C on IIC, near Habib Bank Plaza, in front of NBP, and its design is also changed!! And i think its far ahead of KFT!!

If thats the case then its great! But we don't have any U/C pics of it. If you could get some, it would be great. We only have 1 Black & White render of it, thats it: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=172245

This is not IIC or saddar, this is area near Governer House, and the 2nd building (from left to right) is Nacon House.

Thanks! But whats the area called?? The name of that street/road??

Ok i will try to get some pics soon!!

Paragon Constructions- UBL Tower (http://www.paragon.com.pk/ProjectDetail.asp?ProjectID=147&PageIndex=4)

^^ Thanks. :)

The Current Tallest Building U/C in Karachi, whose height we know in meters, would be the 160m tall twin towers of the Karachi Financial Towers. However, the 47 Floor IT Tower, which has 2 extra floors than the Financial Towers, could be the tallest. But we don't know its height in meters.

CORRECTION: The Tallest Building U/C is the 60 Storey ICON Tower, which is likely to be as tall as the tallest tower of Mabarak Center in Lahore, i.e. almost 240 meters.

^^current tallest under construction tower should be icon tower

^^ What will be its height in meters????

not sure about the height but its 61 floors compared to 40 something of KFT

I was thinking that we should include ICON Tower in this thread. But I've just gone through its thread. There is a discussion going on about it being U/C & 2 U/C pics of it. But all the renders are the preliminary renders and Mr. Rao has also said that the project has been transferred from ASA Pvt Ltd to some other Architecture Firm. So the designs will also be changed. Unfortunately, that means, that we'll have to wait until we have its final renders to include it in this thread.

IT tower project awaits crucial CAA go-ahead

KARACHI, April 26: The Civil Aviation Authority has not issued its no-objection certificate for the construction of a 47-storey IT tower being built in Gulshan-i-Iqbal, it has been learnt.

However, the Karachi Building Control Authority maintains that the CAA’s NOC is not necessary for the IT tower, which will rise to over 600 feet, as it is the city government’s project.

Meanwhile, sources said the project had found so much favour with the KBCA that it was ignoring the fact that work on the site had got under way despite the fact that the relevant building plans still remained unapproved.

Normally builders have to get the building plans of their projects approved by the KBCA before they could start the construction work.

The sources said that the project, a joint venture of the city government and a Malaysian company, would be delayed if the issue with the CAA was not settled.

The project is reported to be bringing in a huge amount of direct foreign investment.

The sources said that the city government had offered its two-acre prime plot located next to the Civic Centre, worth roughly Rs3 billion, and the Malaysian company – IJM Construction – was bringing in $200 million.

The IT tower, which will house call centres, a luxury hotel, offices, etc after its completion in about a couple of years will generate roughly Rs25 billion, which will be shared by the city government and the Malaysian company.

Responding to Dawn queries, the CAA’s corporate manager of air traffic services said that all private builders and government organizations constructing high-rise buildings had to obtain an NOC from the CAA. He said the CAA reviewed the plans and height of the proposed buildings under the National Airfield Clearance Policy and requirements of flight safety.

He said the CAA had given an NOC to the city government’s and Malaysian company’s IT tower near the Civic Centre for the height of 182 feet only. He said the KBCA had also obtained a copy of the National Airfield Clearance Policy from the CAA. He added that the KBCA, on its own, could not give an NOC to any project and the NOC must to be issued by the CAA only after which the KBCA could approve the building plans.

He said if a building was constructed above the height allowed by the CAA, a notice was served on it and later the building was demolished. “Flight safety cannot be compromised regardless of the fact that a private builder or a government agency is constructing the building,” said CAA official Anjum Hafeez.

Answering questions by Dawn, the outgoing chief of the KBCA, Rauf Farooqui, who was in charge of the IT tower project, said that the CAA’s NOC was required only by private builders while the IT tower was a government project for which no CAA NOC was required. The KBCA had obtained a copy of the policy from the CAA and after the project plans were reviewed under the CAA policy by the KBCA, it was found that its proposed height of 600 feet was okay.
He agreed that the project had been delayed slightly, adding that the Malaysian company took longer to generate funds from the international market which took more than expected time.

Another reason was that the foreign company had three partners and one of them was an Indian national, he said, adding that the country’s security agencies expressed concern about it. So the Indian national had to be replaced and the legal matters involved took some time, the outgoing KBCA chief said.

Asked if the plans had been approved by the KBCA, he said that the plans were being prepared and would be ready soon and the work on the project would begin by June “positively” and would be completed within 30 months.

He, however, did not agree that the KBCA was looking the other way while the work on the project on the site had already started which was against the KBCA rules, and said that only exploration activities to test the strength of the soil was being carried out and the project work would start only after the plans were approved by the KBCA.

Mr Farooqui said that not only the city government would make huge profits from the project, but over 30,000 IT professionals – candidates for the project have already been short-listed -- would also get employment opportunities in the call centres located in the tower.

The sources, however, said that heavy earth-moving machinery had been used on the site for over a month now. They added that massive excavation had been carried out and hundreds of dumpers carrying soil from the site left a deep pit which would most probably be used for the basement. A huge quantity of steel and other construction material had also been moved in.

A company employee told Dawn that the project was having some problems with the CAA, which was not allowing the height of the building to be more than 150 metres. If the height of 150 metres – that could accommodate about 38 floors -- was to be observed, a luxury hotel planned for the top nine floors could not be constructed, and not only the entire building plans had to be reviewed but even the economics of the project would be changed. He, however, was hopeful that the local partner – the city government – would take up the issue with the CAA and have resolved it amicably.

The sources, however, said that if the CAA stuck to its 182-foot height limit, the entire project might have to be scraped. They added that the project might become financially unfeasible as only between 15 and 20 floors could be built in that height, which could not generate enough profits for the partners – the city government and the Malaysian firm.

You're better off asking this question in the Mehfil Pakistan forums than in this thread.

Karachi's Current Tallest building is the MCB Tower, which stands at a height of 116 meters.

It was the 1st one of the new generation of high rises to be completed in Pakistan. It was completed in 2005.

Karachi’s Skyline finally taking shape

KARACHI: Karachi is creating a new skyline along the coast of Arabian Sea in Defence Phase 8. Currently, four international projects are under construction in this area, on their way to establish the first creek enclave in Pakistan.

It may be recalled that the Defence Housing Authority (DHA), Karachi, announced its plan to develop Phase 8 in 1987 but it was only in 1994 that DHA began allotting plots to army officers and announced permission for construction in its first three belts.

All residential and commercial plots in DHA Phase 8 today are owned by the private sector and permission for construction has only been granted for a portion of the phase.

As a result of the Pakistan property boom that began in 2001, big names of the international real estate industry also sat up and took notice of the Karachi coastline. ‘Crescent Bay’ by Emaar Pakistan, ‘Creek Vista’ and ‘Creek Marina’ by Meinhardt Singapore Pte Ltd and ‘Creek Side’ by Abu Dhabi based Injaz Mena Investment Company PSC, joined with UK-based Global Haly Investment Ltd, are all multi billion dollar projects expected to be completed within the next three years.

Sysmax, a Malaysian firm, developed the DHA Golf Club in Phase VIII and is currently working on the soon-to-be-built Raffles International Club. According to further details, construction of new roads, new sewerage lines, water supply lines, water reservoirs and KESC lines is under way and will be completed within the three-year timeframe. The contractor for this project is the National Logistics Cell (NLC) and the cost of construction for the roads is estimated to be around Rs2.07 billion.

An industry analyst informed The News that the UAE based DAMAC developers were also in line to start a project. However, conflict with the government and the DHA led to their backing out of the deal. One important question that arises is with what price tags are these projects expected to bring for their properties. An official of one of the projects informed that their prices ranged between Rs15 and 25 million. He hesitated to reveal more since his company’s polices do not allow the project to be discussed as yet.

A real estate agent, who specialises in DHA and Clifton properties, shared that all four projects were competing with each other and therefore, any information regarding their work was considered sensitive.

He said that one particular project was in fact being bad-mouthed by estate agents, since developers had refused to involve these agents in the project. “On an average, all these apartments are roughly priced between Rs10 million to Rs25 million depending on the developer, the locality, the tower, etc. This is without adding the taxes and other additional charges,” the source added.

General Manager of Sales and Marketing, Creek Marina, Shabbir Siraj, said that due to inflation and the increasing prices of cement, steel and other construction materials, they were compelled to add the rising cost of production to the bills of their potential new clients.

He informed that the new prices would be 15-20 per cent higher than their earlier quoted ones, before quickly adding that property prices did increase with time and it was therefore, keeping the local market price in mind, that the new evaluation was being done.

“Clients who had booked apartments that were sold earlier during our first launch will remain on the earlier contract and pay their remaining instalments as was agreed in the initial project,” he clarified.

A sales executive of another project who preferred to remain anonymous (also due to company policies) said that most of the buyers of these projects were overseas Pakistanis. “If 60 per cent of all these projects have been sold collectively, then about 40 per cent are owned by those Pakistanis who have dual nationalities or have well-established businesses abroad and consider these complexes to be a part of their future investments.”

He further reasoned that high level projects are introduced after thorough research is carried out regarding the market and its consumers. “Obviously we do have buyers, that’s why we can see these projects coming up. No business likes to play blindly and get established first and then wait for customers.”

KBCA reworks plan for skyscrapers

By Azfar-ul-Ashfaque

KARACHI: The Karachi Building Control Authority has shelved a plan to allow construction of 100-storey or above high-rise buildings “anywhere in the metropolis”, as it is now looking for specific zones where it could allow construction of at least 40-storey or above buildings, Dawn has learnt.

About five months back, Local Government Minister Agha Siraj Durrani, who is the ‘authority’ for the KBCA, had approved a KBCA plan to allow construction of 100-storey or above high-rise buildings anywhere in the city and announced in a press conference that the government would table a bill in the provincial assembly to make a special law for high density development in Karachi, because existing laws did not permit the KBCA to allow construction of such high-rise buildings.

According to the proposed plan, a builder could construct a 100-storey-plus building at any commercial plot, measuring a minimum of 5,000 square yards. There is no bar on amalgamation of plots and the high-rise buildings could be constructed ‘anywhere in the city’ provided the plot is located on a minimum of a 100-ft wide road.

The plan was, however, in contravention to the city government’s vision as envisaged in its Karachi Strategic Development Plan (KSDP 2020), which promotes taller buildings in specific areas and in selected new urban centres and restricts them from being built in a sporadic manner all across the city. According to the KSDP, “the high rise developments should be designed in a coordinated manner with a mix of uses including a variety of housing types, good connectivity to public transit and well planned vehicular, pedestrian and open space systems to ensure that they become desirable places to live and work”.

Strong criticism

Sources said that strong criticism from other stakeholders, including the private sector and town planners, forced the KBCA to drop its earlier plan to allow such buildings without the limitation of any area in the city.

“Initially, we wanted to frame the building regulation for entire Karachi [within the KBCA’s jurisdiction]. But after holding a series of meetings with professional bodies and experts we found that we cannot allow construction of high-rise buildings in the entire city,” KBCA’s chief controller Manzoor Qadir told Dawn. “It was a consensus view that we need specific zones for the construction of 40-storey or above buildings.”

He said that after the consultation, the Sindh government formed a committee comprising town planners and senior architect so that they could meet and identify specific zones to give the city a new skyline. “The committee has almost finalised its recommendations and soon it will submit them to the government,” said Mr Qadir.

The sources said that the KBCA and the committee also consulted various departments of the city government including Master Plan, Works and Services and the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board before finalising its recommendation regarding identification of new zones where construction of 40-storey or above high-rise buildings is feasible.

Mr Qadir said that the coordination of all stakeholders, including the city government, was necessary for the planning of high-rise buildings. “The high-rise buildings could not be constructed until we have a modern fire fighting system, water supply and efficient sewerage system etc.”

New skyline

The chief controller defended the construction of high-rise buildings because he felt that it would give a new skyline to the city and would give a boost to the construction industry, while on the other hand save cost of infrastructure, catering to the needs of off-street parking and cost of land. The high-rise buildings utilised less land area and leave more open spaces for landscaping and parks.

A couple of weeks ago, the KBCA’s chief controller gave a presentation to Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad, the LG minister and the city nazim at a meeting held at the Governor’s House. According to the presentation, the allowable floor area ratio (FAR) for the construction of a future high-rise building project would be 1:12 and above against the present 1:5.5 FAR for 1,000 sq-yd plots.

The meeting was informed that the sponsors of future high-rise projects shall arrange self generation of electricity, self sufficient sewerage treatment and its disposal and adequate water supply for the project in order to avoid any pressure on the existing infrastructure. The Environment Impact Assessment of all such projects shall be mandatory, besides provision of fire fighting as per international standards.

The participants of the meeting had asked the chief controller about areas where he wanted to enforce the new building regulation with regard to high density projects, to which the KBCA chief sought more time to furnish full details in the next meeting. However, due to preoccupation of the governor and other authorities concerned, the meeting on the subject could not be held yet.

Mr Qadir told Dawn that once the committee identifies new zones, its recommendations would be submitted to the government. Then a bill would be tabled before the Sindh Assembly to enable legislation for allowing high density development in Karachi.

That's Sh. Faisal, isn't it? It needs flyovers at 3-4 spots to make it completely signal free. One is at PAF base, and that flyover will soon be complete. They still need to make flyovers at Regent Plaza & Hotel Mehran. There is also another spot near Baloch Colony where there is a signal, that needs to be removed as well.

Update on Lyari Expressway (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=35305154&postcount=121)


Northbound Section of Lyari Expressway opened

KARACHI: A section of the north-bound carriageway of the Lyari Expressway project connecting Sir Shah Suleman Road with Sohrab Goth was opened for vehicular traffic on Saturday.

Federal Communication Minister Dr Arbab Alamgir Khan inaugurated the Sir Shah Suleman-Sohrab Goth Interchange of the north-bound carriageway of the project at a ceremony held here.

The opening of the interchange would facilitate the residents of Liaquatabad, Yaseenabad, Federal B Area, North Nazimabad and other areas who want to travel to the Superhighway and Mauripur Road.

The distance from Shah Suleman Interchange to the Superhighway and Mauripur Road is six kilometres and 11 kilometres, respectively.

Terming the inauguration of the interchange on the north-bound carriageway a big achievement, the minister said that over 16-kilometre-long south-bound carriageway of the project had already been completed and opened for vehicular traffic.

‘I am thankful to the Sindh government and the Karachi city government for their help and cooperation with us in this project,’ he said.

He said the entire project of the Lyari Expressway was estimated to cost Rs8.5 billion and so far 70 per cent work of the project had been completed.

‘We want to complete the project as soon as possible and in this regard we need help and cooperation of the provincial and city governments.’

Dr Khan said that the project would provide a fast and efficient link between the Karachi Port and upcountry areas.

National Highway Authority Chairman Altaf Ahmed Chaudhry informed the minister that after the inauguration of the Sir Shah Suleman-Sohrab Goth Interchange, a phase of the mega project had been completed.

‘We have completed the special phase of the project and now the traffic is running on both north- and south-bound carriageways. There are two exit and entry points on the expressway,’ he added.

He said that in future the remaining portions of the expressway would be constructed with the efforts of all stakeholders.

He said that very few cosmopolitan cities in the Asian countries had motor limited access highway. The concept of motor limited access highway completely applied to the Lyari Expressway project, he added.

WONDERFUL NEWS!!!! :cheers: karachi is on its way of getting a gud infrastructure.. :)

I saw the hole in the ground for the Icon Tower. It's deeper and bigger than it looks in the picture. But its location suuuuuuucks. Right next to that mazar but across from Park Towers. Don't know how such contrasting buildings will exist next to each other.

Which building is that and how many floors is it gonna be?

I don't know, it has no signboard or render on site, it's probably being constructed by some local builder. I am pleasantly surprised by the number of mid rises coming up in the Tariq Road/Bhadarubad region.

Korangi Creek Industrial Park (KCIP) Updates:

Work on completing infrastructure in Korangi Creek Industrial Park (KCIP) is progressing satisfactorily. (Independent Report by The Nation)



http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g451/smfarazm/aerial.jpg



This is a project of National Industrial Parks Development and Management Company (NIP), a subsidiary of PIDC.

NIP has so far completed 2.8 million gallons under ground water reservoir, 50,000 gallons overhead reservoir, under ground UPVC water distribution network, pumping station along with back-up generator, Underground sewerage network with manholes for each plot. On the other hand 14.7 mmcfd gas has already been sanctioned by the SSGC while KWSB has sanctioned water supply of 3.5 mgd.


This project is being developed at an estimated cost of Rs 3.3 billion which will have an investment opportunity of Rs20 billion and potential to contribute Rs 40 billion annually to the GDP. The KCIP project will also be able to provide 30,000 direct and 180,000 indirect employments to Karachiites.


The project offers foreign and local entrepreneurs with guaranteed uninterrupted power supply through 48 mw captive power plant and all essential utilities like water, gas and telecommunication. The hallmark of this industrial zone is perimeter wall with controlled entry and exit to the complex spread over an area of 240 acres at Korangi Creek.



So far they have been able to sell 49 acres amounting to Rs.1000 million (payment received Rs.440 million and payment receivable Rs.567 million) out of 103 acres of saleable land while a number of applications are still in the pipeline.

This shows that Karachi is still an attractive place for the investors provided they are given solid surety that their investment would be safe and of course profitable.

sounds attractive from a business POW.. :cheers: is there a proposed completion date for this project??

Changing skylines: Karachi to get the country’s tallest building, again

Ocean Towers, formerly known as Sofitel Towers, is 393 feet high (119m). PHOTO: AFP
KARACHI:

Over the next few months, expect heavy traffic around the Do Talwar area. By May of this year, it will have the honour to be a neighbour with the country’s tallest building.

Ocean Towers, formerly known as Sofitel Towers, is 393 feet high and will house a shopping mall, food courts, corporate offices and a business club, said the project’s sponsors. The 28-floor skyscraper has bypassed the 381-feet tall MCB Tower on II Chundrigar road as the tallest building in the country.

A formal inauguration of the towers took place on Saturday by Minister for Overseas Pakistanis Dr Farooq Sattar.

The chief executive officer of Siddiqsons Group and Triple Tree Associates, Tariq Rafi, said that the skyscraper was completed at a cost of Rs7 billion. The building materials used in its construction conform to the standards set by the Karachi Building Control Authority, enabling it to withstand earthquake shocks.

The towers were initially supposed to house the Sofitel chain of hotels, but they withdrew because of the violence in Karachi. The managing partner of the project, Abdul Rehman Naqi, said that a popular supermarket chain in the city would be the first store in the towers and would open its doors to the public, hopefully by May 25. “The upper half of the building, which will house corporate offices, will be completed by June 20. But as we have limited office space, I am not really worried about the other mall-cum-office projects being constructed elsewhere in the city.”

Published in The Express Tribune, February 21st, 2012.

--

On berths ceremony Officials said KPT plans to construct Karachi Harbour Crossing bridge, which will ease traffic congestion in the city by providing connectivity with Northern Bypass and Lyari Expressway via Manora and a cargo village is also being constructed at an estimated cost of $600 million for which financing has been sought from Asian Development Bank.

17 Floors GT&T building:

G&T TOWER OFFICE BUILDING

Location: Beaumont road, in the vicinity of Governor house, PC and Sheraton hotels & PIDC and State Life building.
Area: 185000 square ft approximately

Design concept

Human & beliefs
The clients have a modern approach towards business yet are practicing Muslims. NUHA believes that Architecture is human’s most spiritual embodiment, thus we came up with a very modern building with an element directing towards Qibla. The building elevation speaks for modesty of clean lines, honesty of materials with fidelity to the purpose. Thus making it a timeless, easy to maintain modern façade.

Space is the three-dimensional extension of the world around us, the intervals and relationships between people and people, people and things, and things and things. The design approaches to establish relations between people, things and spaces.

Salient Features:

• G&T tower runs on a CO-GENERATION system the heat produce by generators runs heat absorbent chiller.
• Atrium designed in a way to gain maximum North light.
• Reduction of heat gain is achieved by strategically placed big Concrete mass facade.
• Double glass (LUI) fixed glazing to gain maximum light in office thus minimum heat & radiation infiltration.
• Tilted west facade element is to catch the west wind inside thus 5 parking floors free from the stagnant carbon mono oxide danger.
