Awesome.. that villa added further charm to the project

Not sure, if Nareg could confirm this, but I think this is it

Thanks Nadini for the pics, but I'm 99% sure that the construction seen in the pics you posted are not for The Pavilions. The latter is located more to the left.
The building U/C seems to be a private residence.

well this is why i think its the one, maybe the lower buildings are being built and the higher one is starting to rise. The building alone under construction is the same building in the rendering, same amount of window and same style, and on the other side, u can see the arches that are similar

but then again the building standing alone is on top and the one with the arches is on the bottom, while in the rendering its the opposite, maybe they just started building the traditional looking home and didnt start on the other, if thats so, whats the project being underconstruction in those pic?

1 is the British and Japanese Embassy.
2 is a private residence according to Solidere's Quarterly reports. Notice in 2 I have included that villa because in this (http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/8306/thepavilionsft1.gif) pic, that same villa appears behind The Pavilion's villa.
3 is the plot of land dedicated to The Pavilions.

^^ alrighty, what about the traditional Lebanese building?? u have a clue?

Sure, that traditional Lebanese villa is located more or the less the place shown by the 3rd arrow.

U guys,i think some of what Nadini said is right,i mean they look identical.maybe there's another one there as well.but some of those buildings definately belong to the pavilions.

Nareg, the plot you indicated for the Pavilions seems too small for the renderings...but I may be wrong. Nevertheless the pic Nadini posted is really amazing and shows some great progress whatever the project is, but when was this taken? (I ask because I dont see the Achrafiyeh tower in the background)

Also, this area is called "Wadi Abu Jmil" and will be made up of similiar-looking buildings.

Wadi bou jamil will look gr8,so traditional buildings,a very nice addition to the wonderful architecture of the DownTown area.

Guys that was an old pic.. you can see below that all of those buildings are almost completed (even this one was taken in April 2006)

Beiruti, the plot I showed (#3) is only a part of the plot area (There is a continuation to the right). When I return home I post part of Solidere's map for Wadi Abu Jmil.

Okay guys, here is the map. [ I know we went off-topic a lot concerning the project itself]

It is clear that in front of the British and Japenese Embassy is located that building which is not The Pavilions.
In the map, 59 is The Pavilions.

^^ Thanks Nareg, it isnt a very clear map but it makes sense.

Are there any recent construction pics on their website?

No, the web site does not have recent pics.
During the last update of the site (on November 15, 2006) they stated that:

Concrete Slab of the 4th Floor is completed
Concrete Slab of the 5th Floor is in progress and is completed at 50%. The other 50% is expected to be completed this week.
All Concrete works are expected to be completed around February 15, 2007.
Masonry works are completed in the 1st Floor, and started in the 2nd Floor.

^^ mmmmmmmm,is it the same project?? lol ,i'm all lost :D

It is great to finally see this project upclose... I didnt know there were any purple buildings in this area, looks really nice!

tnxs 14leb! my goodness the Al Murr tower is tall and ugly. those apartments are soooo nice but the purple ''buildings'' are not buildings Beirut!, look at the one on the far right, its not 3d, is it a tall board or what exactly? And whats that building being built in the back of those nice apartments?

^^I think it's the pavilions itself from behind or something,,,those apartments are not part of the pavilions right???

Nadini, of course they are 3D real buildings, just look at their shadow!

are we talking about the same thing
its way to thin to be a building and where's the windows?

^^ Nadini, what you are pointing to is blue not purple.

^^ lol its purple on my screen :P and obviously the nice purple building on the left is 3d, I thought u were talking about the ''blue'' ones cuz you put building in the plural form, sowwy... but my question still is, what are those blue/purple things

these are backs of buildings without windows... im pretty sure and not builboardss
