Tall, tallest in Haugesund! Haugesund - Rogaland A new high-rise has been proposed in Haugesund. The high-rise will become the tallest in the city, and one of the most unique in Norway! The architect firm Brekke Helgeland Brekke AS has design this 60m/ 20 story tall residential, retail and office building (maybe hotel) which will be situated in downtown Haugesund. Many investors is interested in this project which has recived much positive replies from politics. They say this is a very impressive and exiting proposal. The developers say this tower will be finish in three years if the city council approve the building. By my surprise many of the local inhabitants also agree to built this building. Its a very impressive and spectacular idea which will put Haugesund on the map.

Euroterminalen Kristiansand - Vest Agder The idea of this project was born in the early 90s. The project was near dead for several years before the regulation plann was finally completed in 2001. The city council approved the regulation plan in november that year. Euroterminalen is one of Kristiansands largest development project, and contains a new large terminal for cruice ships and trains, a shopping centre, offices, a 25 story tall hotel and residentials. After the approval the 25 story tall (89m) hotel went through massive opposition. Not much has happend since, but construction start is planned for 2006/2007 with completion 2012/2013, so there will probably be more news from this project soon.

Skyscraper for Drammen Drammen - Buskerud A 80m, 26 floor tall hotel has been proposed in Drammen this week. The hotel will be located in what is to be the most perfect location for such a tall tower in Drammen, on a small island in the middel of the river. The hotel will contain 220 rooms and a congress hall with 450 seats. It will also become the second tallest hotel in Norway, after Radisson SAS Plaza Hotel in Oslo which is 37 meter taller. And both the population in Drammen and the politics is very positive to this project, and is agree that the location is perfect for a tall building. The area today is very messy with large highways and terrible concrete silos. They want to see a tall building which can make this area look much better. Yeey! B)
