has this project started yet ?

Does anyone know the status of the building or have clearer renderings?

I found it! It turns out I actually took pics of this construction site but didnt have an up-close picture of the billoard, so I posted them in the Misc. thread... well I looked closely and the renderings match.

Here are the pics:

UPDATE: this bldg has topped out (but i didn't have my cam when i passed by it)

^^ Already??? It wasnt even visable a year ago! I presume it has changed the whole look of the area...

From the 70's style annex to the St. Georges Hotel, to the monsters on the Corniche, to the thin flatiron near Raouche to this one, and probably many more that people can cite, there is a disturbing lack of any consideration for the effect on the neighbors of having a huge 15 or 20 storey blank wall raised right in your face(vs what used to be a view of the sea or sky). Bad enough now, when the building is new; imagine what the blank back will look like after a few years...
