This shot (from
the Hilton) shows clearly why Turnberry Places'
owners are upset.
That's one hell of a view-blocking wall.

 The
crown (above) is nearing completion, looking closer
we see the gap between the tower and the crown. I
wonder how they will disguise the works and columns
in there.

 Here's
a nice assortment of photos from the past few days.
Starting with a beautiful flickr-find from "gbrummett"
taken on 3/22/09
and a great shot from the roaming Daniel Harris.
  
This group shows the progress of the crown; which is
getting an opaque, white, glass facade.
Below, we get a good look at the pool deck.

The main Strip entrance in the first shot is taking
shape.
The south side (next photo) along Riviera Blvd., has
some interesting shapes where the podium meets the
garage/conference center.
Looking at the backside of Fontainebleau, we can see
"decorative" vent panels being installed.
These exist due to complaints and concerns by condo
owners at Turnberry Place.
The structure above the parking garage vents is the
conference ctr.

This nice set of
photos shows the tower still growing, despite
reports that it is topped off. Requests for the real
story as to the height and floor counts have not
been answered.

from the

OK, for
a project that hasn't officially announced
groundbreaking, this is certainly construction.
As a note, Palms Place didn't announce
groundbreaking until they reached
three floors, go figure.

The project will
be modern and chic in design (reflecting the spirit of their famed
Miami Beach hotel) and include:
