VILNIUS - Full Summary of Projects

[CrazySerb]

Some outstanding projects...really like the new tennis center & university library
Has there been any news concerning the long-frozen national stadium project?

[whatever...]

Saying it's postponed would be an understatement.

There are some plans though to reconstruct an old track and field stadium in Vingis park into a simple 12-15 thousand seat football stadium, or possibly build a new one in some other location, but everything is far from certain. Lith' football federation supports the "project" and so does FC Zalgiris Vilnius (a very decent club once), which would play it's home games there. We'll see.

Lithuania will host the 2013 UEFA U19 championship. Hopefully we'll have something built by then.

A more appropriate name for it is "Vitas Gerulaitis tennis academy", because that's what it actually is.

More good news...

Vilnius 'Western Center' development seems to be moving forward again. Unconfirmed sources say full financing has been secured for the entire project. Among other objects the development should include a shopping center and three high-rises 81m/23fl high

Interasting design. When is the project suppossed to start? I heard 2012, but was long ago I think.

[whatever...]

Preferred the 3rd place finisher from the start. Oh well... The winner looks alright too.

[whatever...]

Few new, decent looking projects:


"Antakalnio terasos"

Residential/office/shopping

[whatever...]

Žirmūnų 1/3 A.

SPA, Hotel, conference center and restaurants. When built on banks of Neris river should look plenty fine. Located ~2km north-east of NCC.

[whatever...]

And a pseudo-historic building in NewTown district. NewTown (end of 19th-start of 20th century buildings, perimeter planning) often looks like a pretty girl with her every other teeth knocked out, so, imho, with projects like this and a number of similar ones planned or u/c already, the district should resemble a proper European inner city in the future. Area all around 2km of Gediminas avenue looks very decent already, while other parts of NewTown were largely neglected for a long period of time. Anyway:






They could've come up with something more original though. Will be built instead of this commie monstrosity.

The so called "Vilnius architecture park", a project that seemed to be rather ambitious if not utopian just a few years ago, is apparently very real and moving forward as we speak.

Initiated by city's municipality, "Vilnius architecture park" is a project aimed at a redevelopment of 78ha industrial territory right beside the Old Town - all while upholding high standards of architecture and urban planning. 8 architectural bureaus are designing their separate plots and according to municipality, it should all be built and finished by 2018. Again, that sounds a bit too ambitious, but who knows...

The first plot to go is the 5ha territory of "Skaiteks" factory. Entire plot is located in the eldership of Old Town.

http://www.niekonaujo.lt/20110312/vilija

"Skaiteks" is designed by the Architectural bureau of Audrius Ambrasas (the one behind the "Swedbank" highrise). The project was recently presented to the public and according to the developer, they should start demolition of unnecessary buildings and removal of polluted soil at the beginning of next year. Construction will start in 2013.

[whatever...]

The red line marks the historic "Missionaries garden" of Benedictine monks. An architectural tender for restoration of the gardens has just finished a few days ago and the winning design of "Vilniaus planas" pretty much calls for historically precise restoration with only a few modern additions. Which means hundreds of new trees, fruit gardens, adjusted relief of the hills and all of that...

These few pictures don't say much, but reading the proposal in detail, if done properly, the garden should look very decent when finished - a definite new highlight for Vilnius.

[whatever...]

Restoration of Bernardine gardens (located at the very heart of Vilnius) has restarted after they finally received necessary funds from municipality and government.

Botanical garden with orangery, rose and fruit gardens, open air caffe's, restored ponds, sculptures and original 19th century plan and so on and so forth...

Comfort Hotel
Mindaugo 27

Personally I think this area deserves better looking projects than these. But considering that this corner of Newtown was abandoned for such long time it is good see it getting denser.








Mindaugo 44
Next to Hotel nearly finished not very well looking residential building.







thanks Zorro for all these pictures
