I found some great construction pictures from building site, but i can't find the correct credits, so i'll only post the link to photobucket: http://s277.photobucket.com/albums/k...Hafenvorstadt/

I'll try to get my own photos soon. :tup:

Quite the nice structure. I am especially a fan of the separately-clad exterior parallelogram that doesn't, ironically, parallel the square frame of the building. A good-sized building for a German city not rich in tall structures. :notacrook:

Really nice looking building.Anything else going on in Bremen?

nice building, whats the tallest in bremen?

there were a few projects in the past, but they all seem to be on hold oder canceled, like unicom tower (about 65m)

so seeing something in construction is great for bremen.

it will be the tallest office building in the city, only the chruch ist higher (and television tower etc.)..

when it's finished, there will be a great light show at night, they hired a light designer to create a nice atmosphere at night, but that is surprise :tup:

i found this rendering of the whole area, with the tower and the other surrounding buildings.

Looks gut. Is the tram line on that boulevard in the render existing or will that be neu?

yes the tram line exists and was built a few years ago. the stopping point is directly in front of the whole place :yes:

It reminds me of the ArenA stop in Amsterdam, minus the stadium and plus a waterfront

I really like this tower

i made this drive by shoot of the construction of this building from 24.03. , by now they reached floor 19 of 22.

need to make more pictures.. :notacrook:

we're only a few more weeks away of reaching the complete structual height of the building, they're currently building the last floor (22th). on the top there will be a roof-deck surrounded by the glass facade. and finally the elevator asset needs to be installed.

very sad the see it not growing anymore, this buidling needs to be higher..

anyway we will have a nice new modern and highest office buidling in town.

you can see some new construction pics on the site of structurae:

oh oh 3 third post in a row, i hope i'm not the only guy who's interessted in this project ^^

i found the short clip of the building site. note, the video ist in german language, they're attending the crane driver by his daily work..

:tup:

You're not the only guy. I watched the video. I like trying to figure out what they're talking about without being able to understand Deutsch. I understand a word here and there though.

This is going to be a sharp looking project when finished.

Tschuß!

finally, i got to the building site to make my own pictures of the construction. it was the first time ever for me and i'm pretty much impressed to see it with my own eyes. for you guys in big skyscraper citys all over the world it's nothing special, but for me it was something special :tup:
