A couple of weeks ago there were big news items in the Bali Post about this development. Construction has been halted by the authorities in Bali. It has a building permit, but the particulars of the building in the permit documents do not match the actual building as it is being built. Apparently, the building is too high, and covers too much of its lot, impinging on street frontage and boundaries with neighbors. It does look much too tall and imposing for Jalan Oberoi. It looms over the street like a big dark concrete monster, with the gaping maw of a ground level parking lot right in your face, front and centre. The density of this development is also inappropriate for its location. This part of Seminyak is already overbuilt and congested as it is. Update!
