According to a press release from the construction company Tehnika from Zagreb an agreement was concluded on the construction of a reinforced concrete structure of the above-ground part of the hotel building with accompanying facilities at the Westgate complex in Split.

The construction project called ''Westgate B'' is funded with money from the Croatian bank for Reconstruction and Development, whilst the investment is estimated at 500 million Kunas.

''The ''Westgate B'' tower should be 110 metres high thus it will be officially the tallest building in Croatia. The tower will have six underground levels, a ground floor and 27 floors with a total area of 35,000 square metres. This project will be of multipurpose use, whilst the hotel part of the tower will have 189 rooms, 4 suites, a wellness centre, a fitness centre, a congress centre, restaurants and bars'', explained Josip Komar from the Westgate Tower.

Komar also added that the hotel would be operated by one of the world's largest hotel companies that was yet to be discovered to the public, but would surely contribute to the competitiveness and improvement of tourist offer.

According to Komar's words the second part of the building will host the headquarters of several technology companies. The whole project will create 300 new jobs, whilst after the construction around 2,000 people will work at the complex.
