July Construction Update !

Check out the lastest July 2009 construction update from Bala Beach Resort. We can finally see the first building rise above ground level. My experience watching the construction of a highrise tower in Panama City was that the foundation seemed to take forever. Once the building started to climb skyward, construction proceeded rapidly. It seemed to slow again when interior finishing was underway. Of course, weather, crew size, equipment and access to building supplies as well as strikes, holidays etc, all play their part.

This video is encouraging. You can also begin to get an idea of the distance to the beach and views from ground level in a couple of the images:
