This 600 million$ project consists of many plots in Beirut's Martyr Square. Many famous architects are submitting plans for the project. Two of eight plots have been approved with mixed-use commercial and residential complex and one tower that would be approx. 140m high.

the buildings all have a very nice and interesting design.

also, it must be very interesting to watch the old building torn down being that they were so deep into the ground. this last picture is really cool.

^^ there will be no buildings that will be demolished.
The famous ''bubble'' will be integrated in the designs.
The following pictures will show you how it will look like.

any updates? please any of you go to the location and take some photos and maybe the other important projects too, for example Damac tower or the towers next to it, maybe new pics of Zaytooni bay, me myself can't do that because I live in Moscow.
