ZF talked with the officials of the builder, Strabag, which is working round the clock on the Sky Tower. It has almost 500 people on the construction site of Sky Tower and Floreasca Tower office buildings, both of which developed by Raiffeisen Evolution. The two office buildings will be joined by a shopping center, Promenada Mall, on which 100 people were working in mid March. The number of those working on this mall is set to increase to 500 in the coming months.
Sky Tower will be a 137-meter tall building (36 stories), with five underground levels and 77,000 square meters of built up surface area. Sky Tower will be the country’s tallest and also the second tallest ever built by Austria’s Strabag after the Opera Tower in Frankfurt (170 meters and 42 stories).
As its officials say, construction of Sky Tower progresses at a rate of one floor every six days and work on it did not stop even during the heavy snowfall this winter.
Sky Tower will have 10 elevators (5 of which reaching the top floor, and five going up to 19th), two underground elevators and 12,000 square meters of underground parking space. The top two floors of the building will accommodate a conference area and a bar.
The total surface area of the Sky Tower is about 77,000 square meters, while Floreasca Office’s is about 23,000 square meters and Promenada Mall’s 114,00 square meters.
