After Google maps update

Good catch. According to Google Earth, that image was taken on 21 January 2013:

It's hard to be sure from the low resolution of the 8 June 2012 image, but it looks like progress:

So no longer on hold?

It almost seems this one is indeed U/C again.

Don't build this, please. This is like Dubai's tackiness x10, don't let oil money create more terrible buildings. Made good use of it

ZZ-II · March 28th, 2013, 02:00 PM

I don't know why so much people hate this tower. I really like it, looks quite cool to me

MattTheTubaGuy · March 28th, 2013, 02:53 PM

It is quite a cool building, I think it will look a lot better once completed compared to the renders.
Also, first twisting tower with 360 degrees rotation?

new update

spectre000 · May 31st, 2013, 08:33 PM

Wow. I'd about given up on this one.

Groningen NL · May 31st, 2013, 08:35 PM

Oh God why... Sorry guys, but I already hate this thing. The recent 300m hotel design in Barcelona is worse, but still... Some projects in this region are really pieces of architectual art, but somehow there is also a huge chunk consisting of tacky rubbish like this one.

C'mon, give it a chance! You can never really tell from a render. I have seen buildings that looked terrible in renders ended up being really nice, and buildings that looked really nice in renders and ended up being terrible.

Only time will tell, and if nothing else, this is worth being built just to watch the construction process, which should be pretty interesting, imo.

I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt, and reserve judgment until it is built.

Just trying to look different to catch the world's attention. Ugly like a giant drill.
