Nearly three years after the scheduled start of construction of a set of two high-rise buildings, containing office and hotel premises, Split-based S.B. Toranj has begun work on the HRK 500 mln project, called WestGate.
Tehnika construction company has begun preparing the ground between Medika and Vrdoljak buildings in Split for construction of the first tower, called WestGate A.
According to the city government, the project involves construction of two towers, of 14 and 17 floors, with a total area of 50,000 sq. m. The 14-story tower, where the work just started, will accommodate the office of Splitska Banka, while the second skyscraper will be used as a hotel with a hundred beds, congress hall, restaurants, bars, and underground parking. The construction deadline for all planned facilities is 16 months .
The project was delayed mainly due to the bankruptcy of the former construction giant – Varazdin company Zagorje Tehnobeton, which was to be the main contractor, and is listed as one of the founders of S.B. Toranj.
The WestGate scheme has been designed by Zagreb architect Otto Baric, Slobodna Dalmacija reports.
