3Beirut, first development to break ground in Beirut, Lebanon

June 16, 2011 Category: Cultural, Public Buildings

The 3Beirut, first development to break ground designed by Foster + Partners is located in Beirut, Lebanon. Established around direct pedestrian routes across the site, its design will connect the historic city centre to the harbour at the Mediterranean. The podium level and surrounding external spaces will provide a cluster of shops, cafes, restaurants, a gymnasium, an art gallery and public gardens.

The glazed north side of the towers will provide spectacular views of the harbour, while the south-facing side steps down in height, integrating the towers into the urban grain. 3Beirut will be the first towers in the city to have green roofs, creating a unique residential development.
