No information on this except renders, but I'm guessing it will be a mall + office tower.

It looks like the misteriouse building on the left side of the image (below) matches the design plan of the KK tower (above). What do you guys think?

^^ good eye, Im not sure if it is or not but I guess there are some similarities in the design

The one in the far back looks like its going to a good height also

Here's the current location description from the client's web site (it places it right about where the picture is):

"Churchill Road, adjacent to the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia Main Branch, the National Bank of Ethiopia and the Ethiopian Television Head Office buildings"

Hey...the taller this building gets, the more I am convinced that it is--in fact----KK tower in the making! What do you guys think?

great point Skyliner, I didnt even think of that, I think you are right. I kept seeing this building rise and I couldnt find anything about it.

Its hard to find full information about most of the construction developments in Ethiopia , weather they are government or private owned, sometimes the designs are released on the websites of foreign design group's that designed the project's, while their full detail still remain a secret to most Ethiopians. If I can mention just some major projects which are currently under way , but we don't even know full details of ,, except for the hear say we hear or the pictures posted by visitors to the city,,,,
1) the Lideta development project
2) the Sheraton expansion project
3) the Addis Ababa Light Rail project
,,,,,,,this are currently the biggest projects in Addis which are expected to transform the city completely, I presume, but we know almost nothing about them except for what we hear from people, or the few poster sketch's we saw,,,,, I don't know if,,, good old "uncle ETV":lol:don't bother to show us,,, or the companies want to keep their project details a secret.

I think (non 100% sure) the owner is Kebede Ketema one of those arrested last week on corruption charges...hope these won't derail the work in progress.
