According to local media in Belo Horizonte the original project was canceled. But it is not known what will be done on site and that it will keep the name, since the construction company did not deny that it will build the project changed his ground. When Brazilian SSC forumers await the release of the new multi-purpose project for that area.

It will not be this time that Belo Horizonte will be the tallest skyscraper in Latin America. Launched with fanfare in 2012, the giant tower project will only be on paper. According to found the These Days before the barriers of law and seeking greater economic viability, mining PHV Engineering and Farkasvölgyi office glass building mastermind of 350 meters spread over 85 floors, abandoned the original idea and already draw a B plan for the area along the avenue of Andradas.

Under the new draft, the project will be diluted in a main building and two smaller buildings. But if the highest tower of Latin America comes out, comes into play the highest skyscraper in Brazil, with 240 meters and 60 floors. The intention is that two towers are commercial and the third facing flats and apartments long stay of one or two bedrooms.

According to Farkasvölgyi office informed by note, one of the justifications for change would be that it is easier to sell 50 thousand square meters in each of the towers than 150,000 square meters in just a tower.

The new proposal also includes the possibility of transforming 90% of the private area in a public square, which give preference to concepts of sustainability and urban kindness. So, besides being an area of contemplation and landscaping, the space would serve as a link between the metro, the neighborhood Santa Tereza and the surrounding Boulevard Shopping, which today is hampered by the railway line. "This contribution coming from the private sector is much more relevant than the height of the tower," says Farkasvölgyi architect's office that bears his surname in a statement.

For the work to become a reality, however, the Municipal City Council must approve the project as joint urban operation, a partnership between the government and the private sector.

The forecast architectural firm is that it is still approved in 2015. However, the advice of the House said there is no sense in this project currently processing. Already the press office of the Municipal Urban Development Secretariat reported that there is no news on the enterprise in terms of licensing.

The PHV, through a spokesperson, said by a market-absorbing reading the new "Andradas Complex project is still under development and should be adjusted to final validation."
