[Jilawatan]

The piling and crane is not a sign of construction?

[Tekno Arkitect]

Maybe it isnt to everyone who passes by the site.....only the cranes make some existance of work........rest of the construction work in hindered by the site office...!

[Jilawatan]

If you go behind the site office you will see work going on.

[usmanaijaz]

Does anyone have any contact numbers for the developers of Alamgir towers? I heard the government is not letting anyone construct any sky scrappers after the earthquake. Is that true?

What is the latest status of Alamgir towers?

No, the government is allowing skyscraper construction. And the latest on the project will be updated by Techno later this week.

The Govt. did halt the construction of all the highrises after the earthquake but after the new building code was introduced construction was resumed on almost all the buildings after their structural plans had been modified to conform with the new standards.

Structural upgradation in the plans was the reason behind the delay in the construction of IT Tower(according to a recent notification in the papers).

[Nauman]

Any updates on this project techno, I passed the site today they seem to have taken of the big board advertising it, but booking office is still there.

[Tekno Arkitect]

lol. Wut, were u expecting them to quit or smth
Rite now work is either going on the excavation or foundations.....ive not been able to access the site yet!
Ill get some pix in Jan fer sure!!

[Nauman]

To be honest with Pakistan you never know.

[usmanaijaz]

Does anyone have any pictures of the current Alamgir site? What kind of construction work is going on other than just the excavation?

Isn't the project supposed to be finished by 2008? Seems very challenging given the current state of the project and the scale of it.

[usmanaijaz]

The building in the picture isn't Alamgir towers, right? thats a building adjacent to it. I only see the sales office for Alamgir towers in the pictures. Is there any construction behind that?

The building next to it is NOT Alamgir tower. They are doing some piling work in the back of the sales office and they are probably working on the basements by now.

Fill six extra basements, SC tells Alamgir Tower

* Court slams LDA for approving high-rise buildings despite the unavailability of rescue measures for people trapped on 3rd floor

By Rana Tanveer

LAHORE: A division bench of the Supreme Court has ordered the owner of Alamgir Tower, Gulberg, to fill six basements of the tower and fined him Rs 5 million, since he had constructed 9 basements in the tower though he had gotten approval for only three. The SC ordered the owners to act upon the order within two weeks.

The bench, consisting of Justice Khalilur Rehman Ramday and Justice Falak Sher, passed this order while hearing petitions challenging the illegal construction of commercial buildings in Lahore. The court adjourned the proceedings till August 8.

On July 30, the SC bench had issued notices to the owners of 13 plazas in the city that were constructed in violation of building bylaws according to the report of a commission appointed by the court. The court had issued notices to the owners of Salaar Centre, Garden Town; Ahad Plaza, Garden Town; Garden Block, Garden Town; Garden Towers, Garden Town; Commercial Plaza, Cooper Road; Alamgir Tower, Gulberg; Software Technology Park, Ferozepur Road; Big City, Gulberg; Raja Sahib, Gulberg; Liberty Gate, Gulberg; Al-Hafeez Shopping Mall, Gulberg; China Centre, Ferozepur Road; and Gold Mine, Ferozepur Road.

The court ordered Farhan Younis, brother of Zubair, the owner of Alamgir Tower, and his secretary, who appeared in court, to give the check of Rs 5 million in favour of the SC and hand it over to the SC assistant registrar by August 20. Justice Ramday also directed the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) director not to proceed with the sanction application, which Zubair had submitted in the LDA seeking the declaration of the tower legal.

The justice observed that this punishment would be an example for others intending to work on the same lines and warned LDA workers against trying to mislead the court in such cases. He ruled that the decision on the accused’s application would be taken after he had paid the fine and filled the extra basements. LDA legal advisor Mian Qamaruz Zaman submitted that the respondents had applied for approval of digging 80 feet deep on April 7, but the application had not been approved yet.

Justice Ramday admonished the LDA managing director after being told that the LDA had sanctioned the construction of the 450-feet high building. He said Pakistan did not have the equipment needed to evacuate people trapped on the third floor and the LDA had approved the 36-floor building. Justice Ramday added that the LDA was granting building plans that were not in proportion with the roads and water, electricity and sewerage facilities. He said infrastructure should precede the construction of buildings.

Justice Sher expressed anger when the LDA MD told the court that a meeting that included the district nazim, district coordination officer and LDA seniors had made rules for allowing high-rise buildings in the city.

The bench told the parties that had sought adjournment that they should be ready on the next date of hearing and should not seek further delay.

LDA Officials: The court reinstated the LDA Town Planning director whom the court had suspended on June 28 for committing illegalities. The LDA director general had recommended the step saying that his performance was satisfactory. Another suspended LDA official requested the court to issue similar orders for him. The judge told him that he would be reinstated if the DG recommended.

Yes, all they have to do is fill up the basements and they can finally finish the project up.
