Part of the Lebanese government’s vision for a new downtown, this development uses reclaimed land to create a contemporary image for the city. The design utilizes the strong axis anchored by old Beirut and the recognizable clock tower and extends it towards the sea with a variety of low-scale Mediterranean mixed use buildings. As the development approaches the coastline, the buildings become more modern with larger, contemporary skyscrapers consisting of hotels, offices and residences centralized around a harbor and beach area. The jewel of the development is a new convention center, retail mall and two iconic 75-story towers. Reaching toward the sky, these towers serve as a symbol of prosperity for Beirut.
