It's already a year when the construction was delayed because of sensitive location of the building, but 2 days ago the permission was granted and the construction will soon be resumed :bow:

Some basic data
Height.. 12 fl
Floor space.. 8135 m2

If the design wasn't changed, it is going to look like this

Finally! :banana:
Construction permit was granted so now there's nothing what could stop it from being built.

 

[Gatis]

yes, still my favourite project in Vilnius!!! Did not know that the matter is " sensitive location"

Nearby is a heritage district called Zverynas, where height of buildings is limited to very low. As well the Pedagogical university and its dorms is next to it thus there were some protests of students too

Yay, it trully made my day :banana:

It's a good news I should say that these protesting students were a "little bit" unthinking, the same goese to the well known "Zverynas bendruomene", which was somehow releated with that protests. Such a building (if original idea haven't changed and tha quality have remained) shouldn't make a shame for any district in Vilnius (don't count historical districts).

It shouldn't make a shame even for Canary Wharf or London City if built as in the original project.

But better leave it hear, in Vilnius :cheers:
Who knows, what are planning SBA now, after such a delay period :bash: But i hope, that this project will be ralized as planned. I really want !

congrats for a new highrisekay:
Kinda resembles me London Vity Hall

 

[BoyXm]

i am really jealous, because this is what these students and Zverynas bendruomene will see near their noses

I live in a dorm near this construction and I was surprised about such student protests, in general I don't understand why they don't want Vilnius to be more modern and similar to other European cities than it is now...I thought just old people are such old-fashioned, but students...

 

[Nightsky]

Nice design, but more height could be needed.

I expect such a strange position only of Pedagogic university students But i think the initiators of that "incident" was some Zverynas bendruomenes members, because especially acording to their opinion - Zverynas and teritory around should have the heights as far as 2 floors Nice future they see. :eek2:

 

[BoyXm]

Nice design, but more height could be needed.

because of the near locality of the old district Zverynas and other factors, higher buiding i think could lead to the real war between the builders and local "huts comunity" :runaway:

Actually it was lowered from 14 to 12 floors, althaugh then it was fattened

 

[Monkey]

Sounds like good news!

 

[sander]

Nice building, but it has only 12 floors.

 

[Mantas]

^^^ In this building the design is the best thing

/\ I fail to see anything special about it... that central spiral concrete or whatever column running through the thing is pure waste of space

This project in terms of quality and architecture is by far better than anything in Tallinn (either existing or planned) or any other city in the Baltic region, so I wouldn't be that sure if it's nothing special.
