The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg (Elbe Philharmonic Hall) is a concert hall under construction in the HafenCity quarter of Hamburg. The concert hall is designed by Herzog & De Meuron on top of an old warehouse. It will be the highest inhabited building of Hamburg.

 

In 2007, the construction was scheduled to be finished in 2010 with an estimated cost of € 241 million. In November 2008 as an endorsement to the original contract, the costs for the project were estimated at € 450 million. When I visited the construction site in February 2012, they were still far from being finished. More surprises concerning the costs cannot be ruled out.
