Hard Rock Bristol Construction ‘Moving Fast,’ Early Summer 2024 Opening Targeted.

When Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol construction began on the permanent resort property in early December 2022, company officials said they expected the $400 million development to take about 18 months to complete. That timeline hasn’t changed roughly halfway into the build.

Hard Rock Bristol opened a temporary gaming space inside the former Bristol Mall in July 2022. Dubbed the “Bristol Casino — Future Home of Hard Rock,” the interim casino has exceeded revenue expectations and has since added additional gaming machines to accommodate demand.
Hard Rock International, owned and operated by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, is renovating the former mall into a Hard Rock casino. The company is also building a six-story, 303-room hotel adjacent to the mall with an indoor and outdoor pool, a gym, and a convention facility. A later construction phase is to add a second hotel tower with approximately 500 rooms and additional resort amenities.

Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios (FCBS) has released new visualisations of a proposed visitor attraction on Dundee's waterfront for The Eden Project. The latest proposals for the ‘international-scale’ scheme, which will sit on the former Dundee Gasworks in East Dock Street, were unveiled yesterday (1 August) ahead of a planning application in the autumn.
FCBS’s designs – now out to public consultation following a Proposal of Application Notice – involve the creation of different spaces for exhibits, performances, learning, play, and art across the site. Facilities for immersive experiences, horticulture, live music, and food and beverage facilities also form a part of the latest plans.

‘We have taken a regenerative approach to the design that will start to restore the site, an approach which will restore biodiversity to the site, reusing materials to create an immersive pedagogic facility. ‘We are looking forward to listening to more to people in Dundee during the upcoming consultation, to inform the design development.’

Members of the public can attend drop-in sessions on 16 August and 13 September before the final designs are submitted to Dundee City Council in the autumn.

Hard Rock Hotel Algarve to Arrive in Portugal in 2026. The upcoming project in Portugal will be opening in the summer of 2026 and create 400 jobs in the area throughout the construction process.

The hotel has no planned casino, although this is probably not completely out of the question as Hard Rock is operating some of the biggest and most worthwhile gaming resorts worldwide.

Silent Yachts is not-so-quietly expanding into high-end hospitality. The Austrian yard, known for producing innovative solar-electric catamarans, just announced it is building a new emissions-free luxury resort in Fiji. The news comes less than a year after Silent revealed its first solar-powered marina and residences in the Bahamas.

Located on a private island in the Fijian archipelago, the second Silent Resort includes an array of eco-conscious beachfront residences and an impressive fleet of zero-emission vessels, naturally.

Nestled amid the rugged jungle and sandy beaches will be 28 Silent Estate Residences with either four, five, or six bedrooms, as well as 14 two-bedroom Silent Marina Residences and 10 two-bedroom Silent Beach Club Residences. Each abode is managed by Silent and comes with a number of other perks, too.
Owners will have exclusive access to a number of Silent’s solar-electric tenders, speedboats, and catamarans on which they can sail the stunning coral reef. Seafarers can also make use of Fiji’s first solar-powered Silent Marina, which is dedicated solely to electric yachts.

Construction is set to begin on Silent Resort Fiji’s marina and beach club by the end of 2023. Work on the Bahamas location is progressing rapidly and is expected to be fully completed by early 2024.

It's not quite the Burj Khalifa but... Zanzibar is building the Burj Zanzibar, the worlds tallest timber building.

The Indian Ocean island of Zanzibar is planning the highest green building in the world, a 28-story apartment tower designed in hybrid timber technology.

Named Burj Zanzibar – “burj” meaning tower in Arabic – the spectacular high-rise is designed to reach 96 metres in height. Dubbed “vertical green village”, it would represent an iconic landmark not only for the island but for the whole of Africa and a global environmental milestone, being the first timber structure worldwide of such proportions.

The design of the mixed-use apartment and commercial building, in a playful beehive style with breathtaking ocean views, was unveiled to the public in Muscat, Oman on 1 October. Dutch-born architect Leander Moons, responsible for the concept, said: “Burj Zanzibar is not just an outstanding building but a new ecosystem for the future of living”.

With turquoise seas, white sandy beaches and a UNESCO-protected historic Stone Town, Zanzibar recorded 15% annual growth in tourism in recent years and 6.8% economic growth. Earlier this year, the semi-autonomous archipelago, 35 kilometres off the coast of Tanzania, stretched its wings also into another direction, launching an initiative to attract African tech companies with a total worth of six billion dollars.

The Cloud Center will be an arts, culture and conference space in Qinhuangdao, China opening next year.

Chinese architecture studio MAD has revealed photos of its sculptural Cloud Center building in Qinhuangdao, China, which was designed for arts and culture community Aranya. Images of its construction show the 2,500-square-metre building's bulbous shape taking form, as well as the beginning of the process to clad its overhanging roof in white-stained glass.

The cultural center, which will be located in the port city of Qinhuangdao, 160 miles east of Beijing, will house a grand hall, a gallery and a small theatre. Its design was informed by the "shape and lightweight appearance of clouds" and will sit in the middle of a landscape conceived by MAD as a "white stone garden."
