[Pandemonious]

I am kind of liking the multi-color patterning on the facade, but I don't find the way they did the top of the building that appealing. I think it would look better with just two straight spires even, rather than that pointed arch. I dunno.. it just isnt working for me. Great height for Panama though!

[Sacto]

Magnificent structure. I like it alot.

[M.K.]

For me, the project is perfect. The most interesting architecture in this complex of 3 bldgs is the different blues in mirror windows in facade, great and also the arc on top the middle one that makes a connection to be closed somehow. :notacrook: :notacrook: :notacrook: . The renderings are great. Do we have already diagram from them here in SSP?:tup:

[zerokarma]

Not sure about this one....

[**PTY**]

I like this project :banana: :banana:

A bit bigger. Panama is just starting to rise as a modern city.

[PTY Dude]

Neo;3574099']really nice is it much taller than other towers in panama?

---------------------------

Right now The Point is almost finished and raised the 274m and it is already the tallest in Latin America and Spain, but "Faros de Panama" (Panama's Lighthouse) already started the construction and will be, the tallest in the city. It will be finished at 2010, aswell as Trump Ocean by Donald Trump also in Panama City, Panama.

[PTY Dude]

Here is a night view of Panama City taken from the bay. The tallest building is The Point, the tallest in Latin America

The tallest in any Spanish speaking country.

[Alam Df]

hey dont forget torre mayor its still the tallest building in latinamerica
(or in any Spanish speaking country.)

[WonderlandPark]

hey dont forget torre mayor its still the tallest building in latinamerica
(or in any Spanish speaking country.)

No, Torre Espacio in Madrid is the tallest in any Spanish speaking country 237m verses 225m for Torre Mayor. Torre Caja Madrid will open soon at 250m.

[Alam Df]

No, Torre Espacio in Madrid is the tallest in any Spanish speaking country 237m verses 225m for Torre Mayor. Torre Caja Madrid will open soon at 250m.
And in mexico city Torre Bancomer.... even if its still a proyect and its going to finish at 2013.. :D
.... hey does the torrena counts? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrena :cheers:

[chex]

some pix from panama?

[PTY Dude]

No, Torre Espacio in Madrid is the tallest in any Spanish speaking country 237m verses 225m for Torre Mayor. Torre Caja Madrid will open soon at 250m.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, The Point in Panama City - Panama is right now the tallest in any spanish speaking country, because it already has more than 270m, and it is almost finished, it is not a project, but a reality.

The Point is actually tallest than Torre Mayor in Mexico City and Torre Caja in Madrid.

[Martin H Unzon]

PTY Dude:
Have you a official source of 274m for The Point?, because our sources and database says 244m and will still unfinished until november-december of this year, have you a recent photo that shows as built or closer to the end of construction (Almost finished -as you say-)? because the linked image looks like far to finished, BTW recently posts on SkyScrapeCity Forums says it have problems with the facades contractor and the works are on hold, will be good for us if you share better info to modify our database... If you can, please.

To claim the title of the tallest only "built" counts, Torre Mayor still as the tallest of LatinAmerica until The Point will finished (as expected) on november-december, WonderlandPark is right, for spanish-spoken countries Torre Espacio is the tallest, and when The Point will finished couldn't be the tallest of Spanish-spoken countries because Repsol Tower and Torre de Cristal will be already built (As expected).

AlamDF:
Torre Bancomer or Torrena (If both build) couldn't hold the title of the Tallest because The Trump and Faros will be already built then.

[photoLith]

wow thats a terrible render. I could do better in sketchup than that. That looks like its from some crappy japanese manga cartoon or something.

[ChicagoSpire2000]

Wow. Yet another tower to get in between the Aon Center and John Hancock Centers of Chicago. Really, 9 ft difference and like 5 towers are built/under con/proposed to be in the range (1127ft-1136ft)

And also, I dont like the design much, but if itll set new records, than I like it:haha:

Poorly done render, but the complex looks promising for Panama City.

[TANGELD_SLC]

The global economic slowdown, I would expect.

Jumeirah to Manage City Hotel in Panama

http://www.jumeirah.com/Global/Jumeirah%20Group%20Pages/Press/Flash/panama_f.jpg


Dubai and Madrid, November 25, 2009 - Jumeirah Group, the Dubai-based luxury hospitality company and a member of Dubai Holding, has been appointed by Grupo Mall, developer of residential and mixed-use projects throughout Spain and Mexico, to manage a luxury hotel in Panama City.

The management agreement was signed by Mr Julio Noval-García, President of Grupo Mall and Mr Gerald Lawless, Executive Chairman of Jumeirah Group at a private signing ceremony held in Burj Al Arab, Dubai.

Designed by architectural firm Chapman Taylor and Humberto Echeverria and Associates, Los Faros de Panama complex will ultimately consist of three towers. The central tower will be 361 metres tall and 85 floors (Phase 1), making it one of the tallest towers in Latin America. The two lateral towers (Phase 2) will reach 266 metres in height with 75 floors.

In addition to luxury residences and Class A office space, the main tower will include Jumeirah Los Faros de Panama, comprising 400 luxurious hotel rooms and suites, Jumeirah’s signature Talise spa, fitness and leisure amenities, and 3,000 m2 of conference and meeting facilities. Hotel guests, residents and visitors to the tower will also have access to exclusive restaurants, lounges and retail outlets.

Los Faros de Panama is located in the central district of San Francisco, adjacent to the emerging and dynamic neighbourhoods of Punta Pacifica, Punta Paitilla, Marbella and Avenida Balboa. The complex is in close proximity to the Pacific Ocean and faces Panama’s upscale shopping centre, Multiplaza Mall; it is also adjacent to the Hospital Punta Pacifica, affiliated with the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System. Tocumen International Airport is located 17 kilometres away, with daily flights to major cities in North and South America.

[Buck]

Anything happening with this project?

[Dylan Leblanc]

By the sounds of the post above yours there Buck it sounds like the development is in trouble. It certainly hasn't restarted construction.

[Buck]

Yes, that's what it looks like. It's a shame they have to scour through skyscraper internet forums to find those who invested...

[OneWorldTradeCenter]

Well, I suppose it won't restart anymore... I hope it will restart one day

[Architecture and Art]

Wow, beautiful buildings.
It's great to see that such good looking and modern buildings art becoming part of the skylines of Latin America!
