Estimated completion time is 2 years. If everything goes according to the schedule, this complex will be completed sometime in 2011

It will be much better once we see it rise and rise... then it's only a matter of waiting. Not as with ENK, where digging doesn't seem to have an end..

Im getting impatient.. I can't wait to see this beauty rise...

I wonder how many underground floors they have dug up... It isnt easy to tell from the construction photos, since we cant count floors because the underground floors doesnt seem to be clearly divided/defined...

I just hope the digging ends soon. At least by the end of this year..

They keep digging, but it's pretty slow if it's taken them more than a year to dig some dirt. They're gonna get beat by Axis and possibly lose big customers.

According to my understanding there ought be 7 underground floors Based on what I heard from the neighbors (car wash) today, they're close to completing the digging part. I hope that's true - fingers crossed!

Yeah... according to the company from Albania doing the digging, "Soal Group", 7 underground floors with parking garages will be built, and not 6 as announced earlier...

7 underground floors? That's a lot of parking spaces. Wonder if they're gonna put anything else down there.

Yeah... it certainly is risky business...



I haven't thought about it this way before, but lets try to analyze this a bit:

Axis used 4 months to dig 2 underground floors (lets say approximately from 1.May to 1. September 2009)
If they where to dig for 7 underground floors with the same intensity(2 floors in 4 months), it would have taken them more than a year too.. It would have taken them 12 months to dig 6 floors.


ENK on the other hand began construction (digging) in August. Since then 1 year has passed. Unfortunately we don't know how many floors have been dug up, but when the ENK web site got updated in February 2009 - it said that 44% had been excavated.
I'm not trying to advocate for ENK here, but the construction works at the ENK site are more complicated than at Axis too... like for example the over 24m deep (28 or 30m deep if they really are digging for 7floors and not 6) concrete pillars they are installing at the site


Posted 24th February in the ENK thread:

If they finish the digging soon, I would be pleased with the work progression. If they continue digging next year too, it would be very disappointing..

I totally understand that there's a difference between 7 and 2 underground floors... but I have this feeling that they may have stretched themselves too thin. Also, I think they stopped working for a couple of weeks because of a major water leak they found while digging. There was no activity there at all. I'm sure ENK will be able to attract customers and businesses to the complex... especially in 2016 when Kosovo will have increased its GDP by at least another 50-60% and when bigger businesses will start investing larger amounts of money.

For example the power plant itself will increase our GDP by about 25%...

I'm sure you do I just wanted to compare the intensity of the construction works on the two projects in detail..

I suspect the same.. But, maybe its just because we are not used to projects of this scale. If a project like this can be built in Prishtina, anything is possible in the future..

Do you remember approximately which period of time the works stalled?
