I posted this article a month ago..

Beirut real estate boom slows but prices still too high for many
Figures show Beir

....Bank Audi’s Barkat agrees that declines are unlikely: “Prices in Lebanon are like stairs, they go up, then stabilize for a while and then go up again, they don’t fall.”

Hung on Harb’s office wall is a giant artist’s conception of a $100 million shopping mall project currently under way in the Beka Valley. None of its investors have considered pulling out, he says......

are they talking about the same mall here?

^^ I believe so.

I also want to say that i really wish they change the name, i just hate it.

This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Ugly! Damn! like seriously ?

This is being built in a really shit area. Although there are no major malls currently in the Bekaa, I would not want to go to this one. Considering the location, most people going there will be either Palestinians, or just ignorant people.

You go to that area, and then see if I'm generalizing.

You guys this mall is one of the biggest in the region not just Lebanon. i kinda like how they just didnt focus on the mall building..but included a lake and outdoor dining and entertainment areas..I think its going to do a lot for that area and attract visitors from Syria big time. I think this is right on the new Arab Hwy being constructed. Brilliant location.

are we sure both of those are the same project?

^^ Along those lines... how come some renderings have a lake and some dont? Which are the latest?

:/
this looks so poorly studied

This is so UGLY!!!!
I CANT EVEN WITH THE ENTRANCE! ARCHES?? HOW CREATIVE!!!!
THIS is a real mess!

And what's up with the googlesketchup fountains?

I used these fountains in my 2nd year project in college! :ohno:
It just shows how creative the project is

The arches are my main issue with it... Arches with this kind of decor are found in malls in Bahrain and what not... not a very Lebanese feel to it at all.

ugly or not! is this real? is it happening?

I cannot get myself to believe this was architect designed. there is a budget of 200 million for heavens sake, could they not have commissioned a real architect? rather than designed it themselves on The Sims?

Come on, John. That's very unfair to the Sims!

There is an amazing grandiosity to this project; if you must destroy some of the finest farming land in the middle east by pouring concrete over it, might as well do it big and ugly!
