Yes, this building is right next to the new RJ headquarters. When I was in Amman in July there was no construction work but the project seems quite large.

Can't wait to see some renders.

There is a fence around the whole area with the photos and logo of Al-Maabar but nothing about what's to be built inside, maybe they haven't finalized the design yet?

i dont know how someone can build a project as big as this without masterplans or renders or anything... and they're saying that they're going to start construction soon...
i smell something fishy !?!?!?! :shifty:

Starwoods, Al Maabar to establish first St. Regis Hotel in Jordan

AMMAN (JT) –– Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. announced on Sunday plans to debut the first St. Regis Hotel in Jordan.
