sorry to break your heart, but there is no such thing as transparant concreate. Transparancy is a property, which is hard to acheive in any material. The ones already there were observed in Nature, even glass.
However, if your are looking for a building material which is strong yet transparent, there are different qualities of high strength glass, which you may use. However, these are very expensive, and to get a quoate, you may have to visit a glass manufacturer or seller near your place.

Transparent concrete is readily available, depending on your imagination. The cost? Daydreaming has historically been free.

there is something new i read about nicknamed 'frozen air'. I am not even sure if it is available to the public, but apparently it is as lite as air and as strong as steel. I saw pictures though. Good luck. I do not know what the cost would be.
