I made a list of all the existing Thessaloniki highrises and generally 10+storey buildings, which isn't something usual for Thessaloniki greater area as we know. Buildings marked with ''New addition'' have been constructed during the last 10 years, or will be constructed soon. The thread also includes proposals for future highrises and skyscrapers.

Ok, I think we can start.

14-storey twin towers-Commieblocks in west Thessaloniki



Twin Tower 1:


Twin Tower 2:


13-storey residential tower in west Thessaloniki (1):



13-storey residential tower in west Thessaloniki (2):





The 90m+ OTE tower with a cafe-bar on its top:







12-storey residential in Pylaia:



12-storey building in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki



New addition: 12-storey tower in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki:



12-storey El Greko Hotel:



12-storey warehouse in the port:



TITAN factory:



Factories in Thessaloniki industrial area:



New Addition: Mid-rise blocks of flats in west Thessaloniki:





Also, It is important to be mentioned, there is a huge lowrise expansion of the city, mostly to the east, as we see here:



Chalkidiki Highrises:
Ok, I know Chalkidiki is not Thessaloniki, but considering how close is to it (about 75 km from Thessaloniki), I think I can add two nice highrises from this area. (I found them during the last summer). The buidings are located in Kallithea, one of the most sought - after destinations in the beautiful peninsula of Kassandra.


13-storey Pallini Beach hotel



12-storey-Athos Palace Hotel




The future

Are there possibilities for future highrises or skyscrapers? Well, I think yes.

So far we have four proposals for skyscrapers, including those in Athens, the Elaionas Twin Towers, the 16-storey Piraeus tower and the Thessaloniki ones. All these proposals make us (skyscraper lovers) happy, of course we are talking about proposals, not approved projects (with the exception of the Piraeus tower), but this shows that people's interest about skyscrapers increases every passing day. We will win


Approved projects:

1) A new 12-storey office building will be ready by 2011 in downtown Thessaloniki (no renders yet)

2) A new 12+storey warehouse in the port of Thessaloniki

Proposals:

1) 150 m Calatravas tower proposal:



2) The great one: Three 36-storey skyscrapers proposed by Aristotle university students, now architects:

Nice thread

Opps, that's my mistake

At first, I couldn't understand that this construction belongs to observation(or antenna/tv) tower.

Yep, it's the highest (including the antenna), but hope it does not continue, 90m is not too high

Reignman

I hope so, Calatrava stuff looks nice.
