BigFoot" is a skyline that rises 1938 ft. above ground level and
172 ft below. The outside perimeter is 830 ft. square. It is made
up of two connected buildings - the "foot" building and the "core"
building. All 14 below-ground-level floors of the "foot" building
are attached to the "core" building on 4 levels at 4 diagonal points.
A ground-level inner vehicular access ring is responsible for the
seeming detachment of 10 above-ground-level floors of the "foot"
building from the "core" building. However, at four compass
points, 4 floors over the inner vehicular access ring, 4
glass-encased "bridges" connect each of the highest 6 floors
of the "foot" building to the "core" building. The 6 floors where
the "bridges" occur, are all of the floors of the "foot" building
that house a mall. This mall tops a 17 level garage, 13 levels of
which are below ground-level. The garage is 5205000 sq. ft and
parks 13000 cars. Below the garage is one level of service rooms
that is 29 ft high. The "foot" building of "BigFoot" surrounds the
"core" building which is 8623000 sq. ft gross of commercial
space and 5135000 sq. ft of garage. The core rises 136 stories
above ground level. High up above the 126th floor are three
domes. The twin domes are lookout posts, while the highest dome
caps a 3 floor revolving restaurants. Below the restaurants is a 6
floor inverted dome and neck that sits on the shoulders of the
"core" building. Unlike the "foot" building and because of the
greater height of the "core" building floors (14 ft to the garage's
10 ft height), the "core" building is 12 floors deep. These 12 floors,
including the 8 directly above them, are exclusively for retail
business. The rest of the "core" building houses mostly offices.

bigfoot ist just an (older) conceptional drawing like the other renders found on that website.. to me not worth discussing it on the *Development Fact File* ...

^^ According to the website, it can find it's way to any skyline as long as it is taken up by an investor, but I can get your drift:)

I love that proposal, do you know when it was proposed and if it has the slightest chance of seeing the light of day?:) Location will most probably be Victoria Island/Lekki??
I couldn't get any more information because of some manditory language script, Here's the link; http://www.canshen.co.il/overseas.asp
