Great project. Too bad the owner is in the docks right now for tax evasion.

I don't know if this includes ayat

It is, I recognize the roads, thanks for the picture!

Terrex,

The picture you posted shows CMC in the background and Summit area in the foreground (roundabout). Ayat would have been just to the right of the pictured area.

By the way, does anyone know if that roundabout is going to have an overpass?....

Im not sure, the website didnt have details on the road construction.

The timing of this thread, it can't get any better... can it.

I am afraid Ayat is a dead case and most of what you have listed above have remained just a dream and there is no sign of them coming any time soon. I have a friend who has been caught-up by this dream and damped all his life saving on quit a few units of the shopping mall, and it is only 5 years overdue..oh yeh, no one knows if it is going to continue...even better, they are talking of refunding the exact Ethiopian birr he paid 6 years ago.(with 3% interest may be)...how about that?

That. sucks. :cry: First the Sheraton and now this :cry:

Why don't they try and sell the project instead? I'm sure there are investors that are willing to pick it up.

Chinese investors maybe?

Chinese investors maybe?
Anyone, but it will most likely be local investors.

I'm thinking about making a suburban Addis picture thread, Ill keep the renders and construction pics here but move the first 5 pictures over there.

ehh nevermind on making that thread

This is the new road from town to Ayat area. Does anyone know if the other side has been completed yet?

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_ej9kKbZz1_I/TUnvz_pxsvI/AAAAAAAAOZ4/khGb8KmH8GM/s640/DSC01096.JPG

It wasn't completed as of August. Maybe Yonii has an update.

Nope it's not completed all the way yet.

Nice pictures skyliner

Im thinking of asking yosef to change the name of this thread to "Suburban Developments in Ethiopian cities" so this thread can grow larger and be more informative. Havent quite made up my mind to see if this is a good idea though. What do you all think?

I like the idea. :okay:

Thank you Yosef! This new thread will be a picture gallery and development thread. Ive started it off with Ayat (The old thread remains in the projects section) Lets start getting pictures of CMC, and other developing suburban areas of Addis and other Ethiopian cities. Ill copy some pics from other threads that I posted it here. There are ayat like developments happening in cities across Ethiopia not just in Addis.
