Cluj-Napoca’s first Skyscraper project rejected by local council

23 April 2025

The urban regeneration project for the Remarul area, where the tallest block in Cluj Napoca, a 27-story building, would be built, was analyzed during the meeting of the Technical Commission for Territorial Planning and Urbanism (CTAT) of the municipality, but it did not pass the vote, so it will return to a future meeting after certain points have been resolved.

The main problem highlighted in the commission was the forcing of urban indicators. The designers tried to explain that they did not have enough space for the new buildings, so as to preserve industrial heritage halls, so they focused on vertical construction.

“Nobody has problems with the proposed height of the buildings. But you have to motivate. Why so high? Just to be visible, that is not a reason,” said the chief architect of the municipality. The PUZ proposes a 27-story block, two of 21 floors each, as well as six-, three-, and two-story buildings.
