The Municipality of Yerevan has shed light upon the future of some
projects, which are in the focus of attention of the public and
mass media.
At the Nov 29 press conference, Chief Architect of Yerevan Narek
Sargsyan spoke of the future of the former Youth Palace (a.k.a.
Kukuruznik). To remind, several years ago it was dismantled
for construction of a hotel, however, remained without a project
developer. Sargsyan said that some problems with the project author
arose. According to the initial project, the hotel was to consist of
two buildings (150m and 90m high respectively). Later on, however,
the Municipality suggested reducing the height of the buildings to
122m and 70m respectively, but the author of the project is still
insisting on leaving the initial height unchanged. "In case of
successful completion of the negotiations, the construction will be
launched in spring 2013", said Sargsyan.
Narek Sargsyan also spoke of the situation around the former hotel
"Sevan" located near the demolished building of the Justice Ministry,
which was seriously damaged by the fire of 2008. A new complex of
administrative buildings will be built here. The new building of the
Armenian Foreign Ministry will be built in the place of the Hotel
"Sevan", and the Ministries of Justice and Energy will be located
near it.
The talks around the incomplete construction of the Cascade and
reconstruction of the Hotel "Dvin" are still going on. The building
of Sasuntsi David Cinema may be renovated.
Sargsyan also touched on the Covered Market, which has been the
"hero" of scandalous stories since early 2012. The project of the
new passageway will be presented in the near future.
The chief architect also told the journalists about the plans on
construction of underground car parks under Republic Square and
Shahumyan Square.
