The building will contain 128 units,12 foot high ceilings and some additional amenities and the project designed by Rafael Vinoly Architects. Contrary to earlier expectations, 432 Park will be rising at the center of the lot, with a 6-story structure rising along 57th street, containing only 5 elevators.

The design of one of the most ultra-modern building has been unveiled by Katara Hospitality, an international Qatar-based deluxe hospitality company. The Lusail Marina Development could hold more than 750 units varying from hotel rooms, apartments, offices and top-class restaurants. The building architecture is a replica the Qatar seal and its architecture is so detailed that it will appear that the development is floating in the sea

The breathtaking structure should be completed by 2016 and will be constructed in the Marina district of Lusail. Lusail is set to be located on the Gulf coast 15km north of Doha city center and will eventually provide accommodation for up to 250,000 people. The building is sought to provide rooms and apartments for the Qatar Football World Cup.

Almost 25,000 of pure green building will open later this month. The Center for Sustainable Landscapes is achieving LEED platinum certification and the Living Building Challenge certification as well.

Phipps' dynamic new center for education, research and administration will generate all of its own energy and capture and treat all of its own water on site, meeting or exceeding the three highest green standards: the Living Building Challenge; LEED Platinum and SITES Certification for landscapes.

It will also be the largest operational structure pursuing living building status in the U.S. The center was constructed using many US-made materials; the building will also aimed to achieve net-zero energy consumption, and will provide passive cooling, heating and lighting. It will also use water recirculation to minimize water discharges, reusing all water captured on site.

Phipps has also constructed the first LEED visitor center in a public garden, complete with a 3-star Green Restaurant Certified cafe,and the world's most energy-efficient tropical forest conservatory when it opened in 2006.
