A new hotel complex will be built at the "Republic Square" subway station in Yerevan. The construction is planned for 2011-2014.
The government allowed Yerevan city mayor to provide an area of 5850 square meters for new hotel construction site. According to a data provided by the city hall, the hotel will contain conference room, sports and game rooms, beauty salon, restaurant and a cafe.
Responsible authorities announced that the hotel will be built based on a number of existing features of the historic city center, which will ensure the integrity of the neighborhood. Hotel will be developed by "Tashir Group" with which the city administration has already signed an agreement.
The proposal to build this hotel was made last year, but official discussion started on July 21 at the Yerevan Urban Council meeting. As a result of voting, at a ratio of 24 "for" and 3 "abstained"Counsil approved new hotel development project.
It should be noted, that many architects are protesting the project, as they believe that by doing so the city is losing its architectural and historical heritage. But let's don't make premature conclusions and try to see the positive aspects of this project. Such projects are very much important for Armenian investment-hungry economy, they create new jobs, and finally, create new earthquake-resistant buildings. Recall that almost all old historic center buildings of Yerevan must sooner or later be reconstructed because of their poor earthquake resistance. Of course, it's strategically much more correct that the future development of Yerevan and especially its center to be done without further increasing the density of the building and plan new developments on the sites of an old and the most earthquake-dangerous buildings, and as a result gradually gain more and more earthquake-secure capital.
