Are you sure that is the location? I hope so, and I hope to see more updates soon! This is to become a masterpiece!

Great to see this thing's actually getting built

 

[Þróndeimr]

Are you sure that is the location?

Im pretty sure it is, the image shows CCTV under construction in that huge plot, and TVCC which is closest to the photo. The tower under construction in the background is Beijing TV Tower (239m), which will be about the same height as CCTV.

This one of the most interesting buildings ever. I can't wait to see it when it's done.

Are the cranes for the CCTV building ? Or for some annex building ? I'd be rather surprise if it is rising already
