Building on the Beach

Mexican development money is behind the planned 38-story Kirana luxury condo development, a stair-stepped glass and steel structure that would be the tallest building on the island. Bernardo Flores Chapa, one of the developers behind the project, says construction on the project is expected to begin in April.

^not the Kirana but wtf?

Quote:

Construction on the 31-story luxury condominium tower (OCEAN) was stopped in 2008 after it was found to be leaning and sinking in the sand. The building was imploded after the developers concluded it was not economically feasible to fix the problem.

seriously?!

now with this project getting underway in April, we could see more buildings like this along the Texas coast.

Has this gotten underway yet? Those formZ renderings look nice too.

Lecom · #31 Posted **Apr 28, 2010, 1:33 AM**

Not to go off topic, but those don't look like they're made in formZ.

with most of the units sold it seems they would have started construction I hope it starts soon.

Well it looks like it is going to get built.

Kirana Recieves Permit. Groundbreaking in August.

Quote:

After four long months of delay upon delay, Kirana has received the necessary approval and construction permits. The delay, while costly, allowed Kirana the opportunity to voluntarily redesign aspects of the Tower to meet the new IBC (2009) building code which was developed after Hurricanes Katrina, Ike and Dolly. The result will be a safer and stronger tower, resulting in more value for purchasers.
