ADDIS ABABA Projects & Construction Thread
--------------------------------------------------------------------------​

In this thread, projects from all over Addis will be showcased. If you have participated in the East African/West African/Central African/Southern African/Nothern African Development Fact Files in the General Africa section...well, this will work exactly the same way.

I think its a good idea to turn this into a thread solely dedicated to

1.) projects in Addis (these can be roads, buldings, factories, etc.) , as well as such things that affect them, for example
  • updated pictures
  • their completion status
  • funding issues
  • construction issues
  • change in design or even cancellation

2.) additionally, posting links to projects in Addis that already have threads in this section is a good idea so we can have them access to them all in once place. for example:

link to: ADDIS ABABA | Mexico Square Development Tower | Proposed



I will post most of the links to these projects in the following post and everyone can add on as the thread goes on. After you start a thread for a new project in Addis just come in here and post a link to it so it is easy to find.

  1. Projects for anyplace outside of Addis can be posted in new threads as usual.
  2. Projects in Addis can have seperate threads as well as being posted in here.

I heard an interview saying that UNESCO had moved into their new building, it also lists 'new buiilding' on their website as their address. So I think that may be completed.

The Drug Administration Control building says 60% completed on the construction company's website, but the website hasnt been updated in a long time, and I am not sure but I remember that building being inagurated not long ago (I maybe wrong tho).

The other two I dont have much information about.

[Edit:] And you are right Yonii, we definitely need more quality hospitals, and some existing hospitals needs new medical equipment and a new buildings desperately. More staff is also needed, volunteers and help with cleaning and upkeeping of the facilities.

There is an interview in CapitalEthiopia where Black Lion is said to be ready to build new facilities and upgrade alot of their buildings.

Good projects.

Is it UNESCO or UNICEF that's moving into the yellowish building in the Kazanchis cluster of buildings? I guess it's UNICEF if UNESCO is building something.
 
#5 ·
Here are some originally posted by Ahadu in the Addis thread. Not sure how to format the post since I have no info on the projects. Maybe Ahadu can step in on this?











And one in Tigray (maybe we should start a thread for projects outside Addis)

nice posts abesha. Alot of those got missed when the East African thread was shut.

I guess we could make this the Addis Ababa projects thread. And if you want you can start up other threads for other areas of the country. Cities, Regions, etc.

Hey guys, just discovered these architects. We can start new threads for each project, but since I have no details on them I didn't think it was necessary.

1.



Wegagen Bank HQ (supposedly the newly-redesigned one)
Stadium Area
2B+G+13
2B+G+13 mixed use building Complex.
Addis Ababa ( Wegagen Bank head quarters, infront of Stadium, Near by Lalibella restaurant. Design Completed)
- I'm a bit confused because Wegagen Bank says on their website that it's 20-stories tall and news articles state it's 22 stories :dunno:


2. Remember this one?



I don't know what it is, but it's currently u/c.


3. This one is u/c by the airport




Ethiopian Airports Enterprise HQ
Bole Airport
U/C


4. Hotel



Hotel
In front of Eubbelyu

Oh wow, these looks quite snazzy, especially the Dire Dawa one; if you notice the podium at the corner is evocative of the head branch in Addis.

I wonder if this is the new parliament building we've heard about:

Don't think I like it, looks too jumbled up. My favorite parliament building is Sri Lanka's, simple and traditional.

^^ These Oromia region people piss me off! They spend millions building offices in Nazareth, and then abandon that and start building all over again in Addis. This is so wasteful!
They've spoken on how they want to have Addis as their capital, and have had offices there for some time, and I suppose that now that they will be building the Nazret-Addis highway it won't be such a problem. I've felt that the Oromia regional parliament ought to move to the old Parliament building when they move out.
