I REALLY like this one! It has the same look as the umhlanga ntc dev's! it should be open by now....anyone in CT going to go and take update pics???

Is it four star?I show the early construction. It looks all nice in the pic, but its quite a dark area with building shadows. Maybe it was just the time of day though.

C'mon is someone going to get photos?

u boys in CT arent too good with updating us!

Im EXTREMELY dissappointed that this prime site for a much taller tower has gone wasted on a 10 story hotel! I sincerely hope this lowrise hotel will go down or be scrapped altogether. What on earth are they thinking anyway- 5 hotels on 1 block??

i think the big problem is just what u mentioned! CT central should be building much more than 8-14F in foreshore...these new buildings are just taking up space!

I love this building too, especially it's contemporary ediface, which I think is classy and funky! What is the progress with this building?

I believe this one is complete... sorry, harkerb : P... But Joburg, I agree- it's a gorgeous building!

If the demand for taller buildings hits, they can always make room for taller stuff.

O yeah, I now remember there was some scuffling going on last time I past by... There were previous talks of a Hilton hotel to be built there though. Pity we didnt get that one at least! sigh...

answer the site is really small i remember a year ago we we're debating where it was going to be built or if it was ajoke

Photos of this one, please? Caisson Boy? ;)

I have got some and it is looking pretty funky. Will upload as soon as my boss is not looking over my shoulder! :) No, actually I have to finish this proposal for the renewal of our Campus reticulation network and the automisation of all our substations, so I'm a bit tied up. But will do asap.

the hotel is done and open for business. Last week they were just laying pavers outside. The red exterior is pretty funky and cool.

Beutiful, I like it. I will be in Cape Town with my woman during the Spetember long weekend, I hope to see a different from the one I saw last time. But as always my favourate city is Durban.

i like it, similar to all they building in umhlanga. But i still wish there was a taller building on the site. dont say nobody warned CT when ur cbd runs out of land with all these low buildings.

Looks okay

Wow! Really classy, looks really high-quality job! Sharp lines, clean design.

:)

i really like this one they had the balls to paint it red hectic

how you know that the ppl in charge of the colour had balls ? ;)

^^darling, and they must be gay balls too, for only gay designers could sprig up something that innovative and funky looking. Classy... :)

thank gudness for gay man then ...then again it might hav been a female no normal straight man would do this
