I wonder if those old buildings to the right are being renovated in the second to last picture.....any thoughts Nadini?

^^ I am not sure but I do remember them being there last year cuz I asked the same question

^^ I guess this answers our question, the houses will remain and theres a huge plot next to the royal view, what it is? no clue

^^

If I'm not mistaken, on the site of that big hole next to this thread's building, there were two, almost identical, beautiful houses, from what I imagine was no later than the end of the 19th century.

We don't have much of pre-mandate Beirut left... a few score buildings and counting (counting downwards, unfortunately) ...
