    Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast.
    This week’s news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com
    WORK STARTS ON AFRICA’S POTENTIAL FUTURE TALLEST
    Foundations are being poured for another contender for Africa's tallest building: the 390-m-tall Iconic Tower, a "Dubai-style" skyscraper in Egypt's new administrative capital outside Cairo, The National reports. The tower will be among up to 20 being built by Egyptian companies with China State Construction Engineering Corp. on 700 km2 of desert where the Middle East's biggest cathedral, the Cathedral of the Nativity, and mega mosque, the al-Fattah al-Aleem Mosque, were inaugurated in January. Housing government buildings, foreign embassies and companies, the development is expected to ease traffic in Cairo. Whether Iconic Tower will take the tallest building title is unclear, as other projects such as the Zaha Hadid-designed Nile Tower (ELENET 750) in Cairo are in the works.

  • NYC Tower Appears To Be Casualty Of Chinese Crackdown
    Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast.
    This week’s news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com
    NYC TOWER APPEARS TO BE CASUALTY OF CHINESE CRACKDOWN
    Work has come to a halt on a planned residential supertall at 151 East 60th Street on the Upper East Side of New York City (NYC) since a cluster of low-rise buildings was torn down in summer 2017, New York YIMBY reports, observing that the plan by Kuafu Properties and Sumi Properties appears to be the latest casualty of the city's Chinese development bust. Two designs, one by Archillier Architecture and the other by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), were submitted. A result of China's crackdown on capital outflow, unrealized projects also include 118 East 59th Street only a block away. That remains an excavated pit.
