New Skyscrapers in Your City.... (30+ stories)

[Louisvilleslugger]

Louisville is in the planning stages of the new Museum Plaza being built just North of Seventh and Main (ajacent to the new Ali Center opening this Saturday). It is said that the Museum Plaza will be 40 stories tall which would rival the city's (and states) tallest buildings the Aegon and National City.

My Webpage

This should cover some of the details in on the project.

Not bad for a city that is less than 1 square mile in size...

[A2]

not bad at all. I love the Jade Ocean. It has architecture on the top that is similar to the Opera House in Sydney. I am a sucker for sweet tops on skrapers.

This isn't a totally new skyscraper, but once this projected has been finished it will sure look like one.

Giannasca Development Group LLC, just recieved recieved financing to turn the 47 story Plaza tower in New Orleans from this...

Into this..

[Tennesseestorm]

Huh, we cannot even get one beyond 12 stories here. 11 is the tops and we have three of those- the rest are 8-10 stories-several of those.

Not a place to live if you like real skyscrapers..... at least we have some taller buildings at least.

Can someone PLEASE come here and build a skyscraper at least 20 stories tall? How about 60?

RiverPlace Condominiums in Baton Rouge

Was going to be 36 stories, 450+ feet before Hurricane Katrina, but now is 30+ stories with the height unknown.Scheduled for construction to begin early 2007.

Also a 30 story mixed use tower is being planned right across the street from RiverPlace Condominiums, but no renderings or height info yet.

[richyb83]

RiverPlace is a really nice looking condo tower. It would be half-way finished by now. An 18-month delay due to the hurricanes is the reason; it is still a big-time GO!

Baton Rouge's Skyline will dramatically change in 2007 with all the projects in the works!

Can't wait to see renderings on the new 30-story mixed-use tower to be built on the next block from RiverPlace.

Wow, I really like the Terminus Towers and 50 Allen Plaza. Atlanta has some really nice looking towers coming in. Are all of the proposed buildings expected to built or are some of them more unlikely?

[dan326]

I love the 3344 Peachtree and the Trump Towers. Atlanta has some amazing projects.

Louisville, Kentucky's Museum Plaza: It is a 62-story avant-garde structure in the downtown, along the riverfront.

Also see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_Plaza --

"It is expected that once construction begins in the summer of 2007, there will be 561 full-time workers employed at the construction site for three years; construction is projected to end in 2010. The combined economic impact is $900 million, making it one of Kentucky's largest economic development projects."

Contractors are currently being lined up, and three buildings, which were abandoned, are being gutted so that the facades can be used for an entry path into the building's diagonal elevator.

Wow that is one crazy looking building, but I like it though . That is definitely going to bring something to Louisville's skyline.

[Tennesseestorm]

I am crushed.

I did extensive walking in the area, visiting museums and shooting photographs the other day. It really won't be that visible from the streetscape of Main Street, since there is a nice collection of 19th century 4-5 story structures to block the view. It would "clean up" the backside of the buildings, which is visible from the interstate viaduct.
