ALGERIA | Grand Mosque | 300m | PRO

Algeria chooses Canadian firm to manage construction of world's third-largest mosque 05/04/2007 The Algerian Ministry of Religious Affairs confirmed its decision Wednesday (April 4th) of Quebec-based engineering and construction company Dessau-Soprin to oversee the construction of Algeria's new Grand Mosque, which will be the third largest mosque in the world after Mecca in Saudi Arabia and Hassan II in Morocco. The mosque, to be located on the Bay of Algiers, will accommodate up to 120,000 worshippers and will have the largest minaret tower in the world at 300 metres. The mosque will also have several cultural and religious structures, a conference room, a Qur'an house, a centre for cultural sciences, three libraries and media centres, an amphitheatre, a laboratory, a 300-room hotel, a shopping centre, restaurants, green spaces and a recreation park. The initial investment is planned at $2.2 billion but according to some estimates the project's cost may surpass $9 billion. Dessau-Soprin will receive $22m for its services. Completion of the project is expected in 76 months.>

thanks to a bunch of trolls, thread number 5 was beyond repair. this thread is about the freedom tower and the freedom tower only. if you don't have anything constructive to add about this project, don't bother posting. *if you have an uncontrollable urge to talk about dubai and/or beat your chest about it, do it in the countless dubai love-fest threads out there. not here. remember...this is new york. not dubai... *if you think this tower sucks and prefer the original world trade center instead, this thread isn't for you. consider this a warning in advance...>

CHICAGO | Waterview Tower | 1047ft | 319m | 89 fl | U/C

This is a thread for Waterview Tower in Chicago. The name is the result from every residence having views of either the Chicago River or Lake Michigan, if not both, hence Waterview. It will be 89 stories and 319m/1,047ft and will be the new home to Shangri-La Hotel and Resorts. I believe the curtain wall for the tower will be blue crystalline glass and stainless steel. Upon completion, it will be the fifth tallest in Chicago. Thomas Hoepf is the architect and Teng and Associates is the developer. This project has been a long time coming and is my current favorite supertall in Chicago under construction/approved. It has been in the preliminary stages of construction as of January 05, 2006. Here is a rendering: Here are a couple of model shots provided by BVictor: The 29th Floor Amenities Level This is an awesome shot Here are a couple of construction photos provided by BVictor: More photos will be available as soon as things really begin to kick off. Hope you like as much as I do.>
