This is the new ‎Campus de l'innovation, de l'économie & du sport - Université St-Joseph. I copied your photo to the project's thread.

i noticed today that the eastern plot of land in the saifi portion of martyrs square has been encircled by these newly installed black boards which means that digging will start soon, if i'm not wrong i remember this plot of land was tagged "Saifi Modern Towers"....i took this pic today...

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9007/image008gjj.jpg (http://img29.imageshack.us/i/image008gjj.jpg/)
this shows only a small part, the plot is actally huge....

^^ That's awesome news! I am pretty certain this is the plot:

http://wikimapia.org/#lat=33.8955328&lon=35.5075443&z=18&l=0&m=b&search=beirut

We should open a thread once more info is available.

Ok guys ill be opening a thread about this soon...
It is going to be HUGE !
I know the project sales manager so i saw layouts and pictures of how its going to look like...
People, dont post any thread about this...
The sales manager will tell me when to post it and i will post every information and picture about it :)
Announcement: Mid- July

I repeat the developers dont want any thread of this project now!!

I don't see the developer's business here.. I thought we open threads based on what is seen around the streets of Beirut weather it is U/C or Project...
And so, if one of our forumers (Martyr) has news about a project, why wouldn't we open a thread about it.

After all the forum is not affiliated with any real-estate company, design house, ... If the developer wanted to make a burst-out surprise launch then he should have kept the plot as is, until mid July.

Rabih is right....

Garren could you atleast give us a description of what the renders look like ???

....

^^ Guys, I think we should respect the fact that Garren has this information and is interested in sharing it when he feels the the timing is appropriate. Anyway, I dont like threads being opened without renderings. Nevertheless, everyone here is volunteering their time and effort and should never be restricted from posting information because an entity seeking to profit off the project requests so.

If other people like you guys or me put anything... wrong information could be put so as soon as they tell me all the details ill post everything here :)
The project looks modern !
Composed of more than 20 buildings
Not higher than 7 floors.

In mid July the project will be announced with all renderings and information.

Excavation has started !

mmmmm i have seen the plot in person.... there is no f*cking way it could fit more than 20 buildings :nuts:...
when you say "modern" you mean glass-and-steel modern ???

I think he meant overall with the Beirut Gate project, so Garren can u confirm that there will be no tall tower if it is the Beirut Gate ?

^^ No he is only talking about the plot recently blocked off with the black walls in Martyr's pic. I pinpointed it here: http://wikimapia.org/#lat=33.8954816&lon=35.5075577&z=19&l=0&m=b&search=beirut

beiruti u got the wrong plot.... it is the one to the east of it.... its the one with the basketball courts.... http://wikimapia.org/#lat=33.8958957&lon=35.5085313&z=19&l=0&m=b&search=beirut

^^ Thanks, that makes more sense since its much bigger. I think the parking lot plot will actually be Saifi Village III.

I think Nadini mentioned this one earlier.

Elie plus i know these towers and litterally have seen them for the last 3 months so much that i even stopped asking what could the design be.. but now that you mentioned it.. is this it? its not getting any taller than this?? mm idk but according to the design it looks like it could use some more floors..
beiruti where did you take this shot...

^^ looking west from the highway into downtown (past the cola by a little bit)

umm i have no clue actually.. :( all what i hate into all these towers is that we can use some longer ones.. :(

Hey mate, the building is evidently topped out at 19 or 20 floors which is not bad considering it is built at the confines of the bauchrieh industrial area. I really hoped they lessened the use of concrete and put in more glass. till date i dont know neither the use nor the name of the structure, they may be putting up a sign or an advertisement for it because they installed large frames that may support a banner. will be posting any info and progress bcs i pass by this many times a week since my gym is just a stone's throw away from it.

^^ looking west from the highway into downtown (past the cola by a little bit)
i think we should ask Zippo about this one.

^^ I couldn't get the location 100% from Beiruti's description, but it must be somehow close to me. I am doubting it's near 33°52'41.12"N, 35°29'41.10"E, but I can be wrong. I may look for it if I get a (more) precise location.

actually it's been a recent competition after an old one with no result, regarding this project. and i don't have any news regarding it i will keep you updated for any news.

It is a competition: three submitted their projects: Youssef Tohme, Atelier Hapsitus and Issam Barhouche.

Apartment Building in Beirut
By Sebastian J — Filed under: Residential , Beirut, Lebanon, Paul Kaloustian Architect

http://www.archdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/1283446539-gemayze-01-294x500.jpg

Paul Kaloustian Architect shared with us his latest project, an apartment building in Beirut, Lebanon. See more images and architect’s description after the break.

The apartment building is located in the dense district of Gemayze in Beirut. The street enjoys an alignment of old buildings from one side and a big garden and church on the other. The designed building continues the street alignment while developing an organic growth from the rear part with a garden and a smaller structure. The new building is integrated into the urban environment but at the same time it opens up towards a more generous perception of the city.

http://www.archdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/1283446547-gemayze-02-254x500.jpg

The shape of the apartment building is the direct result of the building regulations in Beirut which allows having different sizes on each floor, thus a range of apartment areas from 250m2 to 500m2.

The transparency of the facades creates an openess towards the gardens while the sunblinds that unifies the facade are creating in-between spaces (balconies) shaded and private. The stretched fabric skin is allowing muted transparency and a continuously changing appearence of the building.

^^ damac??? or maybe 3 beirut.. the weird thing is we've been having pictures of that location for a long time and its just unbelievebally weird that NO ONE! tried to take a picture of the site in which this one is being built. it looks farther than the HOliday inn but not way too far.. in another picture by nadini in the hyatt forum you can see the tower and it is very close to it.. again my guesses are they started working on 3 beirut or damac or maybe venus because this doesn't look like terraces..

^^ thats the grand hyatt in your last post, the tower in question is completely different

no i know it is... i;m talking about the other one on the other side.. as you see there is 2 towers rising in that picture.. the second one is not the hyatt. and according to my calculations it could be one of those. i used to always be in Downtown area this summer sadly i'm back in america and i can't go and check what it is.. the thing is i lived SO close to there.. just like we say in lebanon fachkha.. :(

What is this tower going up in the middle?

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j423/NadiniSC/edwin.jpg

I only see the usual in these picture except for the one in the middle, on the left is Beirut Tower along Bay Tower (behind the platinum), the one in the middle beside the holiday inn we have no idea, the one to the right is al manara.... am i missing one? 3 Beirut or Venus tower foundations are not even complete, so it cannot be that

^^ I was going to say the same thing...there is no way it could be any of those GAJ mentioned because progress on this is so far along. It's just surprising how suddenly there is a ~15+ floor tower u/c in that area.

This appears to be the location: http://wikimapia.org/#lat=33.8999187&lon=35.4939187&z=18&l=0&m=b&search=beirut

Or maybe this: http://wikimapia.org/#lat=33.9005332&lon=35.492599&z=18&l=0&m=b&search=beirut

I was thinking the exact same two locations you posted... from that angle I think it would be right... Anyone in Beirut could check??

Again last time i was in beirut was mid august.. i was also pretty surprised by the tower but idk i thought they could've pulled it off on the suggestions i gave..
i just noticed that it was bay in nadini's picture.. but idk the fact that it was stuck in the middle of holiday inn and intercontinental made me think it is farther than them.. again the best way to truly find out what is this is to go down and check what's up..

What's the tower to the left of the harbor tower?

this actually confusing now , i thought kronfol tower on the other side of the city :S next to horsh Beirut and tare2 l matar ;s

The 2 buildings in the middle (the big next to the small) are FAL Tower. The one in the bottom left covered with a green is Mouawad's project, Saifi Suits.

Interest... the little red and white cabins were not there before... does anyone know if any activity is happening in the old Kempinsky plot?

That's the Beirut Exhibition Center (http://www.archdaily.com/91909/beirut-exhibition-center-l-e-ft/), which is located very close to BIEL, according to its web site (http://www.beirutexhibitioncenter.com/). I was actually going to come on here and ask if it's a permanent structure, given Solidere's plans for the area. Does anyone know?

EDIT: I couldn't find a thread on this project, but I did manage to dig up a few old posts about it on the Beirut Waterfront District - Phase II thread (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=890892&page=8) (see replies 154-156).

Are rooftop patios popular in Beirut for nightclubs/bars/lounges/pool parties etc....?

mhm, we have some of the classiest craziest and hottest rooftops opening and existing in beirut.. pier 7 (opening this summer), White (opening in a new place this summer), skybar, beiruf, 32 (closed rooftop), Iris (the pic i posted above ^^^^), Central, Square (open air lounge-not much of a rooftop but i think it could count), laho (in jbeil)
most of those are crazy nice rooftops.. each with its own style and aroma. :)

btw, this is almost the same view, taken by me last week from BIEL when I was at "Project Lebanon". Nadini's one was taken from the Port though.

http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af175/_Zippo_/SSC%20Projects%20Pictures/Unidentified%20Projects/From-BIEL-1.jpg

^^ Any interesting updates from the event you can share?

^^Oh, sorry Beiruti, my bad for not thinking about taking pictures of the exhibition for sharing purposes. All I took were some pictures (a couple) of new materials that were introduced this year in "Project Lebanon". I use those to make textures for my models, so nothing really to look at. I have the booklet of the expo, and tons of brochures, but I think it's already too late. Is there a thread for "Project Lebanon" already here?

The good thing is that I took some pictures on my way to the exhibition. (The Dana and the Bay Tower updates were some of them). I took some pictures today too, and am already arranging them for upload.

I "think" I get what u meant by "interesting updates" Beiruti, after reading ur post again. The name of the event "Project Lebanon" is a little bit misleading and may confuse some. Actually the event is a yearly exhibition for Construction Technology and Building Materials, and no "real" projects (as we see here) are presented in it whatsoever. It's basically a four day event, where new techs, materials, equipment, environmental technology, etc.. concerning construction are presented.

Read more about it in its official website (http://www.projectlebanon.com/get_pagecontent.php?appearpage=PL_Project%20Lebanon%202011_Overvi&show_id=186&submenu='Overview'&menu_id=1&menu_text='Overview'&page=1).

^^ Thanks...we used to have threads for the event a couple years ago. I know they dont announce actual projects but I was just wondering if there was any interesting info worth sharing to come out of it.

And thanks a lot for your clarification on a lot of the unidentified towers and recent pics - so refreshing!

You're most welcome Beiruti. Maybe next year's exhibition will be featured here with a dedicated thread, with daily feed updates on everything presented in "Project Lebanon". I keep waiting for this international event all year long. If only I had this thought before it was too late, well...

Concerning the projects' updates, I took some new pictures today, and am on my way to update their corresponding threads. Let's just say I've changed destination this time...
I'm also preparing new projects that were missed here, and planning to start new threads for them when their infos get complete. The only annoying thing is that am fighting my way with my internet connection. Beirut is booming with towers everywhere, but if only we had better connections.

Oh, and am starting to enjoy this part time job that am offered! If only it pays a little bit better, so I can leave my real one and start wandering around the city shooting towers!!! LOL (Way too good to be true...)

i know zippo, and look at that even in your picture you can see how well would skygate fit.. its basically a really tall tower on the highest point of beirut..
lets drink to that.. :D :booze:

can u give some info abt these plane?

^^ Do you see an "Unidentified planes" title on top of the page?! I'm afraid you're missing the purpose of that thread, since you've already "misused" it before (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=372574&page=34&p=84319565), so let me give you a crash course on the "mode d'emploi" (http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=mode+d%27emploi+meaning):

1- You come across a picture in Lebanon, where some UNDER CONSTRUCTION PROJECT(s) is/are showing, but you don't know/can't remember where or what it is/they are

2- You post the picture here so that other members who may know it/them can help

3- You make a cup of coffee and wait

4- You check here to see the replies

If:

a- There is a reply, you feel happier because now you know what that U/C project was
b- There is NO reply (yet), you go to step 3


Other usages:

5- You see a member who practiced the 1, 2 and 3 steps, and who is already in step 4

If:

a- You can help him because you KNOW the U/C project, you post the name of the project along with its link (as Abdallah did)
b- You don't know the project, you go to step 3

Note: You can practice step 3 as much as you like, although it's preferable to get a decaffeinated coffee if you feel the urge to practice it more than seven times/day.

Now you're lucky because am a jet planes fan, so am gonna help you here, even though it's completely off-topic (kindly consider it the last time):

Those are the Aero L-39 Albatros (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero_L-39_Albatros), which are Czechoslovakian made training jets known for their aerobatic capabilities...

(on your left when turning towards Shayboub Tower, and on the right of Hamra), then it's not been named yet. It most likely belongs to an old school contractor who still calls his project(s) "My Building-1(2-3..etc)"! LOL

I have tons of pictures of some "unnamed" projects around Beirut, and although some do look promising, but the lack of name, render, info, etc..makes them not suitable as a new thread material. I hate opening threads with the "residential building x" name...besides, I still have totally legit projects to start them new threads, and they are...*cough* like 54!!!
