impressive

so many projects... nice

Nice thread.

Very Impressive Beirut looks like right now and what it will look like in the future. So is most of this is Under Construction. What about the others?

^^ All of them are under construction except for 1-2, they are approved and
hopefully in the future they will be under/C. There's also lovely lowrises that
are being built around the city.

Grand Hayatt : Currently U/C

Great run down of projects in Beirut, some really nice designs in that lot! It'll be good to see them completed.

Wow. Your country makes impressive things! As always some are neutral looking, some are a bit cheesy, but quite a few are just wonderful! I like Phoenician Village, Icon Tower - and La Residence is something special.

Without SSC and your input I would think that Beirut is powerty striken place in ruins.

Unfortunately that is what most people think, and they are very wrong. Beirut has returned to its former glory as the Paris of the Middle East and a playground for the rich and famous.

Thank you SSC!

That last picture is wonderful!!! If author is here, on SSC - can this picture be used at Wikipedia article about Beirut un Latvian lanugage?

it enchants the Lebanon to me, is brilliant and imprecionante the advance

how many of these projects have been delayed due to isreali bombing and stuff???

^^ Only the Phoenician Village, all others (that were U/C or are approved) have resumed and are rising rapidly to make up for the lost time.

wow beautiful didnt expect this for beirut

AMAZING!! Speechless

Lebanon's rebirth is set. Great conpilation of pictures.

wow..buildings are mushrooming all around the hill:eek:

^^ that's true and it's a shame cuz it is destroying the beauty of the mountains and nature around it, but I guess
we're running out of space. There was a proposed project to build an island shaped as a cedar off the coast.

http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/7532/sdaj2.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Wow! That is much more than I expected! Nice quality projects. Finally someone who shows Beirut! ;)

The city looks just great!! Real nice impressive projects :drool: I hope I can visit it someday...

Lebanon is amazingly stunning!!! woah! once again it has shown the world that it can rise from the ashes and return to its former glory! GO LEBANON !!!

Who are the companies/people that are pumping so much money into Beirut construction and highrise?

Edited

beirut is beautiful

Great thread!!

Most Beautiful and unexpected thread.
I wish news on TV show more pictures like this thread instead of conflicts, etc.

great great. I never expected Beirut to be like that. :D The news can be too nearsighted sometimes...

Who are the companies/people that are pumping so much money into Beirut construction and highrise?

There is a Lebanese company called Solidere (http://www.solidere.com) that's responsible for the development of the central district. There are local and foreign companies/individuals who are investing in these projects.

God Bless Lebanon ! It is truly a beauty of a nation !

^^ Tnxs Maltaboy :)
In addition to what Litain said Rahmani, there's also the Lebanese expats that are returning to Lebanon and spending money building the country again, and there is also the gulf countries that are spending many money in Lebanon

Wow! Beirut looks totally fantastic, I'd never expect it to be booming like this. Some of my Lebanese friends say that Beirut is doing well after now especially after the civil war of the eighties. I wish Beirut, and Lebanon as a whole, prosperity into the future! I love it!

Some really nice projects. It's good to see that Beirut is recovering so fast.

wow! Beirut is beautifull!

^^



Unfortunately that is what most people think, and they are very wrong. Beirut has returned to its former glory as the Paris of the Middle East and a playground for the rich and famous.

Thank you SSC!

As long as the Israelis don't get the itch to bomb it, which they do with a certain regularity, don't you think? For them Beirut is sort of a bombing playground...

http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb2/Htlebmn/vd1.jpg

Located in Verdun Street, one of Lebanon's leading shopping destinations with its upmarket fashion shops, restaurants and cafés, and banks, this multi-functional residential complex meets the demand for quality new buildings and prestigious accommodation in this area.

The main tower is elegantly curved to offer its residents a range of views across the city; the building houses luxurious residences over 22 floors, with roof-top swimming pool and facilities. A smaller building, opposite the Bristol Hotel, offers high standard furnished apartments fitted with state-of-the-art equipment. The smaller tower is also 22 storey high. Ample car parking facilities are offered in two underground levels.

The frontage on the two adjoining main street is exploited by a two-floor shopping arcade, maintaining an exclusive image that is bound to reflect on the project itself.

Proposed : The Ritz Carlton

The Ritz Carlton Beirut is situated on the corniche in Beyrouth. Inspired by translucent drapery, the skin of the building is constructed of undulating perforated metal. The hotel suites and rooms are designed to take maximum advantage of their outdoor access and sea views through both the porous nature of the structure and a number of elements that link the interior and exterior environments in each room. The new hotel will contain 250 rooms as well as 31 apartments that range in size from 190 to 600 sq meters. The complex will also contain retail elements as well as restaurants, a night
club and health spa.

Yeah it's realllllllllly amazing. Inshallah it'll get built.

Actually, it was apparently leaked by one of the people working with the architects, and was sent to my cousin, who forwarded it to me and other ppl. Heh, I don't know about the name, but I think they're going for something called the Hotel Beirut. Not very original, but I like it.

Thanks =]

Ahhh yeah, the rawche is still not done yet. I was there for new years and most of January, and there was still construction on it, esp by the pigeon rocks.

Amazing projects and buildings .Metropolitan Palace Hotel is something else!

They will not get a permit for the helipad. The Civil Aviation Authority will not approve it because it has no escape route in case it misses its landing. It might hit the hotel. Helipads are normally located above the highest point of a building.

Ben

quite dense skyline already, but the city needs more taller towers :)

Wow!! I'm so happy about all of this construction in Beirut! I just love this city!!

Btw, is there any update on the Ritz Carlton Beirut from Page 5?

^^ as of now its proposed until further notice, the land owner are making a proposal competition called ''The Carlton Architectural Design Competition'' that will end on april 24, 2008 and the best will win

Beirut is looking forward to the future ,amazing pics and updates!

Apparently it's going to be the world's most expensive and biggest hotel.. 10 stars, and it's going to cost around $3 billion. Supposed to be built facing the new marina in Beirut, and it's going to be officially announced in August of 2008. Construction beginning in 2009, taking 3 years.

Heh yeah so I talked to my cousin, and he talked to his friend, and apparently it was slated to occur in Lebanon, but they moved it to Dubai citing the current situation in Lebanon, and the construction boom in Dubai. I still don't know if that's true, but that's what he said. :?

Gordon Campbell Gray’s New Beirut Hotel

Courtesy of CampbellGray Hotels
From June 2009
By Shane Mitchell

Hotelier Gordon Campbell Gray (One Aldwych, in London; Carlisle Bay, in Antigua) has fallen in love with Lebanon’s gritty capital, which is why he chose to open his latest property there. Designed by British doyenne Mary Fox Linton (along with Campbell Gray), the 87-room Le Gray (doubles from $360) faces the Hadiqat As-Samah, a garden in central Beirut.

Beirut is great!

Accent Design Group unveils plans for a new residential tower in Beirut

This centrally located residential tower takes inspiration from the urban form of Beirut. Situated near the Ring Highway that connects East and West Beirut, and overlooking the city center, Martyrs Square and the seacoast, this residential tower operates as an ‘observatory', composed of a smoothly rising stack of glazed-unit apartments, offering diversity while simultaneously creating a sense of unity. The project resolves the opposite demands of maximising space use based on the plot area, while providing variation in the different apartments.

Cantilevering balconies and terraces take their cue from the typology of the existing urban fabric of Beirut, transferring the previously horizontal spread into a vertical composition, with panoramic views of the city and the sea. Shading louvers protect from the excessive eastern and western exposure while adding privacy and providing an opportunity for a vertical ‘green' screen that acts as a unifying element on the façade. This tower synthesises between the complexity of details and programs, while avoiding the unnecessary display of architectural gymnastics, which have become a cliché of some contemporary works.
