The Le Mac is still on

Quote:
  • Construction of the 22-storey building along Waiyaki Way in the City’s Westlands neighbourhood has begun.
  • The building, expected to be complete in 2015, is set to be among the tallest in the area.
  • It will provide a mix of office and retail space on the lower floors, and one- and two-bedroom residential apartments in the 16 upper floors.
  • Ravi Vasta, a director of Mark Properties, the firm that owns the project, said the Dubai-styled housing project is targeting wealthy buyers and renters seeking accommodation in exclusive environment.
  • One-bedroom apartments are selling at between Sh14.4 million and Sh15.5 million depending on the floor, where the homes in the higher floors are costlier on the argument that they offer wider views of the city.
  • Mr Vasta says that the family-owned firm which has been involved in property development for nearly a decade will provide the bulk of the financing for the mega project but expects that any shortfalls would be plugged using bank loans and proceeds from pre-sales.

I think they removed the two floors since the tower because the cost of construction would have been to high.. With two floors gone the thing is cheaper to build and makes it even more exclusive for Penthouse owners.. Such buildings will be in heavy demand coming in the next few years as people seek to live in such posh place..
