Mercedes-Benz Business Center | Yerevan, Armenia
A Plan for a New Tower.
-
The Mercedes-Benz Business Center and InterContinental Hotel stands alone as a singular business destination in the Northern Middle East region. Situated atop a promontory overlooking the Old City via the axis of Terian Street, the Mercedes-Benz Business Center and Hotel InterContinental will be a beacon of progress, sustainability and excellence that are customarily associated with both global brands.
The site of the former Yerevan Youth Center and tower was selected by the client as the previous building was in disrepair and the majestic views west toward Mt. Ararat was a suitable location for such a new and significant landmark. The city of Yerevan has been a haven for avant-garde architecture and monuments since the Soviet era.
