Construction work on the tallest building in Fiji, the Grand which is expected to be located in the heart of Suva has still not started.

The 30‑level tower was supposed to include housing apartments, a hotel and spa.

It was to be located on the corner of Foster and Pratt Street.

It was announced during the launch of the multi‑storey building project in Suva last year that the construction work was supposed to start in March this year and the building was expected to be completed by November next year.

We have again tried to call the designer Sharma Architects but have been advised that he is out of the country.

The estimated $110 million project will comprise of a car park, gymnasium, restaurants, coffee shops, conference room, spa, 60 suite hotel and 77 apartment units.
