The tower in 1998 when Osama and some Egyptians bombed it!

Tower 1 is 12 Floors...Tower 2 is 16 Floors...Tower 3 Will be much taller..probably around 25 floors or maybe even more.

I wonder if the Shell on the right hand side is Tower 3 under construction.

I can't wait until the middle tower rises

Tbite · December 1st, 2011, 08:00 AM

They should have completed all of them around the same time

It'll bring down the luxury appeal of the other two towers when it is rising.

As utopian as that idea may be, it would make absolutely no sense to the developer to build a tower far taller/larger than the other two in a depressed luxury residential market:

There's no point in building the tower for the sake of it, only to have it sit empty and unused as buyers trickle in.

Buyers in the two existing towers knew full well that the final tower would be built in a future phase.

This is a good development. I guess Durban is the Gold Coast(Australia) of South Africa.

I like it....I like the height..I like the Architecture. It's good, I like the way the buildings enclose each other and the way it cascades into the beach. I'll go ahead and say this is the best high rise development in Africa (Recent/Ongoing)
