It is being built and the word still is that they plan on finishing it in 8 months.
The consensus of info I have about the building is, that is shall be ground floor structure only. Fairly high though. From what I am led to understand so far it may be a similar structure as a PriceMart. The pouring of a huge flat slab currently in progress on the site, seem to validate this information.
... J-D.
8 Monthe in the DR??? if it's done in 8 months I'll eat it!!!
la sirena's construction is in full swing, there are two walls erected - in a day!
if it keeps on going like that (fingers crossed) we will have la sirena open in time for xmas! looks like the construction itself will be quick, like i said - it is prefabricated pieces - put up with the use of a crane, much to the joy of dominicans (and gringos, like myself) who slow down or simply stop cars to take a good look. the workers also have audience of senior citizens sitting on the malecon with beers
i forgot my camera yday but i will try to snap some pics over the weekend and post them here. outside is, of course a piece of cake with those prefabricated walls, it's the inside of the shop that will take longer to finish...
