TAMPERE | Tähtitorni Hotel | 141m | 40fl | Cancelled - Page 2

Enoch Root · January 24th, 2006, 11:02 AM

Wow. I congratulate my Finnish friends if "Tähtitorni" proposal really will be built. It would be an impressive landmark.
~!"#%"!#, we should get at least one 40storey scraper in Tallinn!

paku · January 24th, 2006, 11:17 AM

Finally! Keeping fingers crossed!

grendy · January 24th, 2006, 01:41 PM

I also hope that this project will see some daylight but I'm trying not to get too excited since we all know how these things work around here.. But believe me, I'll post every new piece of information here when I hear/read some news!

Larma · August 15th, 2006, 07:55 PM

Official homepage for this project have been opened! They have added some storeys to tower and now it haves 40 floors instead of 37!
http://www.tahtitorni.fi/

This is good start! Hopefully construction will start soon.

Moolio · August 15th, 2006, 07:59 PM

A website has now been opened for Tähtitorni: www.tahtitorni.fi

Some new renders have been released as well:

Some suites:

The Amfi Areena, a concert hall (?) adjacent to the tower:

And it will be 141m to the roof (spire NOT included) and 40 floors... Not bad

Novak · August 15th, 2006, 09:19 PM

Oh I'm so gonna do something very bad if this doesn't get built! Looks and sounds more than awesome..

And 900 hotel rooms?! Would it be the biggest hotel in the Nordics..?

Dunno... What about Gothia Towers for example? Well they are two different towers (and was there a third one proposed??) but it counts as one hotel though

Oberleutnant · August 16th, 2006, 11:48 PM

Novak, do you know about Talo, the Finnish forum where Finnish discussion on projects, photos and everything urban takes place?

If you ever wondered why there's barely any Finnish forumers at SSC, it's because of http://talo.sw2000.net We've long since migrated there.

Tähtitorni has extremely strong backing and the city seems to be in favour. It's not just some vision, but a serious proposal that is now taking in investors. As stated before, it's not an ordinary hotel, but rather an investment instrument. Companies and individuals will buy the rooms, which will then generate profit for them with stable interest rate of 5,2% + additional rate which is calculated by the vacancy rate. Owners of the hotel rooms can use the rooms at a lower cost.

All depends on how succesfully the company can attract investors. If all goes well and the city aproves everything (this part is very likely), it will be finished by 2010.

There's about eighty high-rise projects under construction/proposed/approved here at the moment, but I could easily be without ~twenty of them (buildings of some fourteen-twenty stories) than not having this one built.

Novak · August 20th, 2006, 09:58 PM

The website's images are now clickable for bigger version! http://www.tahtitorni.fi/index.php?id=41. (and they have added kinda cool intro to the website's start page..)

I checked their website and it states that Gothia Towers has 704 hotel rooms.

No, I hadn't heard about Talo! Thanks for teh info.

And yes, I've actually sometimes wondered why there are only few Finns in this forum.. problem solved now!

Taco · October 30th, 2007, 06:32 PM

Sad to say, but looks like that howl project is in the "ice".
Maybe caused by NIMBYs.

It's so sad if they don't build this unique building!

sapmi · October 31st, 2007, 01:57 AM

Wow, make it happen! Finland is on the go!

Nightsky · November 6th, 2007, 05:35 PM

Seems it will be the tallest building in Finland if built! And 2nd tallest in Scandinavia & Baltics area! Let´s hope it get built!

What about the miniature construction vehicles behind the glass? Is it some kind of theme?

copenhagenjazz · November 6th, 2007, 05:55 PM

hmmm I like the height and storey count but must say thats the only thing I really like about this project.

And those renderings are just plain bad. The one on the front page is even rendered orthographically

EszettRocks · November 6th, 2007, 07:07 PM

I believe this project is more or less dead. The original concept didn't work, as there weren't enough reservations.

It's not dead, but they are changing it to some kind of exclusive apartment building. Dunno about the details.

Vecais Sakarnis · November 6th, 2007, 09:12 PM

from inside rooms in this hotel is just fantastic!! Window like whole wall, triangle shape, furniture... But from outside this architecture is close to shit.

What happened to it?

Kevlargeist · October 28th, 2009, 12:36 AM

Nothing. The website of this "project" states that they'll be back with some new information in early 2009.... so it's more than safe to categorize this under "dead".

IceCheese · October 28th, 2009, 01:21 AM

I couldn't remember this one.... But it seems to be before my time!

I guess the threadtitle "new 37-storey (...)" is a bit misleading.
To bad about the project death. A real tall building could suit Finland, and Tampere city

Maybe next time in a bit more central locartion!
