The Light House (or Lighthouse *), is a residential project under construction in Aarhus Docklands, the new harbour front district of Aarhus, Denmark. == Construction and change of plans == The project was originally divided in 2 phases, but due to financial problems, the first phase was sub-divided in 2 stages. Both stages are completed, with stage 2 finished in 2014. The original phase 2 of the Light House project, included a 142 m tall tower. Located at the edge of the harbour front, overlooking the Aarhus Bay, it would have been the tallest building in Denmark and a landmark for the city of Aarhus. It was supposed to comprise more apartments, offices, a hotel and restaurant and underground parking lots. In addition to the original financial problems, it was discovered during the construction of phase 1 in 2008, that the construction ground was not stable enough to support a tower of that size. A countrywide geological survey showed that the building site was in fact one of the most unstable in Denmark. In December 2013, the investment company of Havneinvest A/S decided not to use the buy- and construct-option for the tower site. The option prize was DK 270 mill (originally DK 417 million), but after four years of thorough investigations for DK 9 million, the investor concluded that the project could not be realized. The investigations revealed among several issues, that the wind conditions could not allow for balconies at the tower. The Hilton Hotels & Resorts company has also abandoned the project, because they found the hotel capacity in Aarhus large enough for the market. The construction prize for the tower has been estimated at DK 1.5 billion and now Aarhus Municipality is considering other investors and a rethinking of the original tower project altogether.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Light House (Aarhus)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
