And I sincerely hope that it will never be realised. This is another example of having no consideration for the environment they want to build in.
If you would walk into a place/complex like this you could be anywhere on this planet, it has zilch to do with preserving the coast line of Croatia. I hope they will never ever get permission for something like this.

Being too lazy to attempt to read the text, does anyone understand the business case for such a grand project?
I'd be surprised if such a thing would be sufficiently robust to get this lot off the ground.

Ive seen a plan for this not as dramatic on paper and their have been big investors sniffing around this one for quite a while.

It is a beautiful proposal, but not suited for Croatia, in my opinion. My husband and I have a property in that part of Ciovo that we hope to develope for vacation rental (only 4 apartments in the traditional set up), if this were to go through, it would oblitherate the environment that we moved here for. While we were still in the States planning our move here, his mother was constantly telling us how much growth and development was going on, and all I kept thinking was how much I wanted it to stay the same. I mean, of course, there are necessary renovations and change is inevidable, but Croatia has a strong base in old-world charm and serenity...would it be worth losing that? I think not.

So: If you had some land where they planned a 30 storey residential / office development you wouldn't sell it.
An acre would be worth several milliion.
But you would not sell.
You want to rent apartments for 3 months.
Fair play to you.

Anyway they are now targeting Zadar.
Probably to coincide with the equally realistic bridge from Ancona.

And another thing!
No one says Sydney is ugly.
A business centre on the central Dalmatian coast would be a goldmine when you consider the benefits of working with well educated upwardly mobile young people from Ciovo.
Joke.
Croatia needs a boost. It needs respect but does not command it.
This country has never been O.K.
UstaĊĦa, Partisan / Communist: and now a communist society masquerading as a democracy.
Sorry. I tend to go off on tangents.

Why is it that some people believe that the whole world should be an imitation of each other ?
Croatia may need a boost, but it is not some glass, metal structure along the coast, looking like it could be anywhere on this planet.
The question whether I would sell my land for zillions of euros to some developer is a bit overdoing it. First of all they always want to get the land as cheap as possible and never pay zillions, but if a group would come to buy the land I would sincerly think about a way to block such a project.
And I also don't understand why a business centre would be a goldmine. The only ones for whom it would be a goldmine are the developers and that is about it. There is no industry backing up the need for this business centre, e-commerce is non-existent in this country, in fact there is not a lot of 'business' in this country.
So shall we first start developing this business before we start destroying the coast (one of the few places in Europe which is not spoiled by modern architecture) for the benefit of others.
Why is it that people simply cannot see that remaining different can be a very good way to make money in the future ? More and more people want to get away from modern day life, they want to see and feel the 'old life', the peace and quiet (for as long as it is possible). So as long as Croatia can remember that this can be their greatest asset they don't need all that modern, ugly metal/glass structures.

Good grief! I hope this project never happens in Zadar. It would look totally out of place.
I can see something like this developing on the banks of Sava in Zagreb (plans for urban development already well ahead), but never Zadar. Who's the numpty behind this project anyway?

That post about the project targetting Zadar is absolute rubbish!
