This shot (from the Hilton) shows clearly why Turnberry Places' owners are upset.
That's one hell of a view-blocking wall.

 The crown (above) is nearing completion, looking closer we see the gap between the tower and the crown. I wonder how they will disguise the works and columns in there.

 Here's a nice assortment of photos from the past few days.
Starting with a beautiful flickr-find from "gbrummett" taken on 3/22/09
and a great shot from the roaming Daniel Harris.
-QUIZ- From where were each of these two shots taken?

This group shows the progress of the crown; which is getting an opaque, white, glass facade.
Below, we get a good look at the pool deck.

The main Strip entrance in the first shot is taking shape.
The south side (next photo) along Riviera Blvd., has some interesting shapes where the podium meets the garage/conference center.
Looking at the backside of Fontainebleau, we can see "decorative" vent panels being installed. These exist due to complaints and concerns by condo owners at Turnberry Place.
The structure above the parking garage vents is the conference ctr.

This nice set of photos shows the tower still growing, despite reports that it is topped off. Requests for the real story as to the height and floor counts have not been answered.

Shot from the Hilton (far left), through Turnberry Place, this photo gives us a good view of the height of Fontainebleau's parking garage and conference center. It also helps to explain why Turnberry's residents are complaining. Photo 5/26/08

OK, for a project that hasn't officially announced
groundbreaking, this is certainly construction.
As a note, Palms Place didn't announce
groundbreaking until they reached
three floors, go figure.

The project will be modern and chic in design (reflecting the spirit of their famed Miami Beach hotel) and include:
