Jan 2012 starts seems optimistic.
June 2013 finish seems delusional for a 42-storey building.

No?

i would expect completion around 3 1/2 - 4 years from date of ground breaking.

We all know that nothing is set in stone when it comes to DCNs info on completion dates and financial figures of a project.

Apparently not everyone. Even those who continue to post the crap.

Hey, as far as i know DCN is a pretty legitimate daily construction tabloid, now its up to the smart individual absorbing DCN info to distinguish what he thinks is crap or not.
Anyways... info in doubt is usually quickly corrected here on UT.

BISHA HOTEL AND RESIDENCES 80 PERCENT SOLD!

We have also been informed that construction and working drawings are not that far behind! This is certainly exciting news for the Bisha team.

here's a bit of bizarre news....Lenny Kravitz is now involved with this project....

I think he's involved in designing a floor.

How about getting Kraftwerk to do a floor?

 

[freshcutgrass]

Kravitz has a first rate design eye (he's kinda like Kelly Werstler meets Tom Ford). After seeing the high style of Bisha's sales office design (Munge Leung), I can see why they would hire him (vintage pieces like Mastercraft console, C, Jere lamps, Vistosi sconces).

But Bisha is still basically a cheap Toronto condo project, so they better get out the cheque book and head to auctions for big ticket design. Kravitz deals in the high end....$100,000 Paul Evans consoles, Gabriella Crespi coffee tables and Basquiat and Warhol on the walls.

If you're into the whole "design is the new art" thing, Bisha might be right up your alley. At least it might be a change from the usual Structube level design crap peddled as "stylish" to the cheap Toronto condo consumer.

Perhaps he'll redesign Zaha Hadid's hair for her, one day.

The people who design the most beautiful things are rarely physically beautiful themselves. Or at least that's an observation I have made.

Herbert Bayer of the Bauhaus was cute, in a Tintin-esque sort of way.
