This includes building 15 skyscrapers in the area north of CTBA, building between starting in 2010 and lasting 10 years, it will be one of the biggest construction sites in Europe. This project has been on the table for 15 years and had finally been aproved, a partial reason sais the mayor of Madrid, "is to get that sector out of the crisis" It will cost 10953 M Euro, provide 16000 homes and provide construction work for 20000 people.
The exact designs are not out yet, but they say one will be larger than CTBA, 7 over 200m and the rest around 150m. Looks like we´ll finally get a real skyline.
ALSO:
The giant cheese is already under contruction (digging, anyways)
and the giant toothpick between the kio towers is 30m out of its 90m high.
