New 26-28 storey office tower in Vilnius!

It was already posted in Vilnius project thread but this one deserves a separate theme.
It's unbelievable but we didn't know almost anything about it before the construction started, there were only a few renderings published but without any info.

The tower is being built next to Coca-Cola Plaza cinema in Naujamiestis district.

building info
name: Helios Center
floors OG: 25
Height: 96m
construction dates
-start: June 2004
-end: December 2005
total floor area: 20,000 m2








and fresh pictures from the construction site

The tower is great but i dont like its location.
Wouldve been much better if they built it in NCC.

But design is really perfect. It will be a most beautyful high-riser in Vilnius

Ive made a "rendering" of how it's gonna look from the top of ET, it'll be about 2km from NCC, and only 500m from Crowne Plaza hotel (seen on the right), so perhaps looking from some angles they could even form a small cluster

Great! I hope it'll look in reality quite the same as in renderings.

@Edd
I'm not a professional graphics specialist so few meters doesn't matter
I only wanted to give the idea about its location

Cool design. Nice to see some taller buildings U/C in Vilnius, lately we've "only" seen some smaller ones.

Great tower, it looks amazing. But i shall agree it don't fit into the area, perhaps if they built some more high-rise buildings around the tower, it could become nicer.

That place could be a nice for business district.

That's a very beautiful tower (btw, good rendering, John) but I think the location is a bit questionable though....

The design of the tower is drop dead gorgeous. Do you know who is the architect? I have to admit that the location seems a bit unusual, judging from Jonas' pic.

The architect is Leonidas Merkinas, seems like a lithuanian from russian origin

@Atlantica Do you think of drawing of this building ? It should be some 100 m to the roof

Wow, that looks amazing. The location isn't so great, but still very nice addition to the skyline of Vilnius.

Oh, it's seems like it will be mulit-purpose building. They say that apartments are for sell and office space is for rent
