Tallinn U/C highrises, Pics, 31.12.2004

Happy new year everybody! :P
i went out with my cam today coz weather was very fine, visited the sites of tallinns scrapers... here goes:
first ofcourse Tornimäe, which has 2 cranes, but they are not at full height

ehhe... officially you cant go to Radissons platoform on other times cept Summer when theres a bar at the top... but i lurked to the 24th floor and saw 2 staff then i politly asked them to open the terrace for me... and i got a chance to make a couple of pics! Notice the countours of TTT2, sadly the building in front of the site blocks TTT1..

then i jumped on a tram and went to Osten Tor! Which has 2 cranes! weee!

because its new territory for us here at Scc i decided to give a better preview, its next to FKSM business centre:

and this pic if from next to FKSM:

then i jumped back on the tram.. and took 2 stops, to Cityresidence.. which looks as it has been abandoned (but it hasnt, pile driving has somewhat been done)

and the plaque


Cranes Cranes Cranes i love you....
P.S if you wonder why arent there any workers... its holydays..

(edit)P.S2 CRAAAAP the thread name was supposed to be Tallinn uc highrises... not TALL , since cityresicende isnt remarkably tall...

It seems that the main works are left for the new 2005 year. Thanks for this update. (P.S. I even don't know what Osten Tor is ).

Great. I agree that keep photographing. Seems that making basement for buildings takes much time, but after that buildings rise quite rapidly. I live quite near to this place and I saw today that one building
next to viadukt is already quite high.
