Interesting location. Shame they can't really get similar projects off the ground in the city, or at least at a greater scale. The residential market is so messed up in Stuttgart, feels like there is a general fear to build new large scale residential projects.

^ A pity that's only slightly better than the brutalist concrete monster in its neighbourhood...

^ Clearly one of the better projects! Appreciate the rounded corners and smoothness.

Stuttgart is a city that would profit a lot from three aspects:

* more highrises complementing its dramatic topography (by German big city standards)
* more (new) classical architecture, counterbalancing all the (postwar) modernism throughout the city
* a reduction of car traffic on the surface

^^ most of all, it would benefit from more and bigger residential projects. I read in 2013 that the former Neoplan property in Stuttgart-Möhringen was the last big plot available for a big residential project ... and it is really tiny, compared to projects that are on the table in Frankfurt for example. I wonder if the eco-firendly local goverment will allow to sacrifice some of the argricultural areas in the city for new areas to build on.

Thanks for the effort that has been put into the thread. I miss the new tower in Fellbach though.
