Well this site says:

So let's hope that it actually happens. It just sounds like they went through a lot of processes for the building codes.

yes indeed this should absolutely be built.

USA definetly deserves more skyscraper projects these days and it will hopefully be followed by others

The Mayor, City Council members and staff attended the ground breaking ceremony for the Kirana Luxury Condominiums Tower on Thursday, December 16, 2010. Kirana Luxury Condos is a 39-story condominium tower with 91 units which 70% of them have been pre-sold.

“We are excited to have this upscale multimillion-dollar condominium complex here at the Island. This project shows signs that the economy is growing and will only bring good things to the Island,” ” said City Manager, Joni Clarke.

SPI Town

Here's to hoping this goes well!

Great to hear

JoninATX · #48 Posted **Dec 22, 2010, 10:51 AM**

great news indeed., It must be the tallest building going up in south Texas.

Hopefully they build this one well and dont have to blow it up like that other highrise on South Padre a few years ago. Im sure they will though and I cant wait to see this baby rise.

BrownsvilleTx · #50 Posted **Jan 23, 2011, 9:23 PM**

The groundbreaking has already happened and when I went to SPI a couple of weeks ago, I could see construction going on. Now, can't wait to see cranes and the highrise skeleton going up, up and away!

Kewl Kewl. I have never been down there, one day I shall...

JoninATX · #52 Posted **Jan 24, 2011, 3:18 PM**

I'll be down there this spring break partying, I'll get around there to take some pixs.

KevinFromTexas · #53 Posted **Apr 6, 2011, 11:02 PM**

Ok, well I emailed South Padre Island's building department, and they told me the building will be 421 feet tall. That makes it the tallest building in town. I also got the height for Sapphire, and they told me it is 403 feet tall.

I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn play a free concert on the beach during spring break at South Padre. (Did I just give away my age?)

^Lucky!

ten letters

UrbanTrance · #56 Posted **Jun 21, 2011, 6:51 PM**

So apparently next week they are going to start marketing the "new" Kirana. I don't know what to expect, so I guess we will wait and see...

Great. At that height it'll be the tallest all residential building in Texas outside of Austin, Dallas and Houston (in that order).

Hurricane proof?

JoninATX · #60 Posted **Jun 23, 2011, 1:00 PM**

Most likely. I wouldn't worry about it falling down in a hurricane...
