This is our neighbor building. I'm pretty sure it's an apartment complex. They have been doing construction on this building since I moved here. For the first few weeks, they were adding floors to the top of the building. It's actually pretty fascinating to watch. They use a pulley system to bring materials up to the level they're working on. They work ALL THE TIME, and the floors went up very quickly. A little while after the floors looked complete, something must have happened (codes not met, permission not granted, etc), so they began tearing the floors down again. During this time, a couple chunks of concrete fell from the building and landed on our campus, smashing up someone's car in our lot. We had to block off a section of campus so no children would be hit by falling concrete. During this time, one of the parents walked by me at lunch and said, "Have you been hit by concrete yet? Welcome to Egypt." Now the building put up safety nets and can tear down without the chance of knocking out a small child. :)
