Guangdong Chuanhui Group, a Chinese company, is expecting final approval to take charge of 41,000m2 to construct a 58 Storey five star hotel in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa.

The building is expected to be one of the five tallest buildings in Africa.

GCG submitted a request for land for the project two years ago one of five proposals from domestic and international investors according to the city administration.

It is to be remembered that CGC had originally requested 50,000 m2 in the area between Meskel Square and Bole but the location was subsequently changed to the Urael area. The company will have to wait until people living on the land are relocated it was said.
