It seems like a second Solidere to me, minus the controversy that surrounded the expropriation phase in the early 90s.
I guess the biggest challenge that will face the developers is most probably trying to convince zouzou ebba drivers to show off their skills somewhere else than the marina!
I just came across this video showing how Beirut City Centre, which is due to open in the first quareter of 2013, will look like.
Given how large the mall is, I believe it will cause massive traffic jams near its main entrances especially that the road there is so narrow.

An article in ArabianBusiness.com today shared some information about Beirut City Center shopping mall which is located in Hazmieh and expected to open early in 2013.
The mall will house 200 stores including the first Carrefour hypermarket in Lebanon, in addition to 40 international restaurants, cinema theaters, and a family entertainment center. There’s no confirmation however whether IKEA will be opening there or not, and I really hope it does!
