Just a bit of the facade remains... the rest of the structure has been demolished.

Its strange that in some areas in downtown, there is enough room to put 10 new projects between existing buildings while in some sections like on this street, the buildings are all packed side by side as those in SF and HK.

They didnt' demolition the whole facade? Are they planning on keeping the original facade and restoring it?

 

[City Of Rain]

Don't know why they want to keep the old facade, is it something special about the old building?

 

[seamusmcuffs]

Personally I think the old facade is pretty cool, especially the crest. In the renders and models though it doesn't look like they'll be keeping it

@seamusmcuffs The facade is gone...

The site has been fully cleared.
