I was wondering why they were digging up the road and parking lots on the sides and behind Marina Mall. So more people on this peninsula with only one way in and out - Just like the Al Ras Al Akhdar neighborhood. When will AD learn

What an ugly out of place building. It won't look so luxury stuck next to marina mall which is dated and badly designed.

Oh no! Awful. A quick look at the consultant sign board will scare away anyone with aspirations of design excellence. Utterly shameful. I feel ill, time to go and lie down.

I think I might be the only one that likes it. It would look better if it were taller but it looks really nice to me, maybe I'm not seeing the same picture?
