I don't know anything about this project. Can you give some info (height, location relative to other things, will it be composed of hotel rooms and condos, etc.)? Thanks for the pictures.

Sorry, there are actually a couple of threads for the project itself so I assumed most had seen it.
Here's a post I made in another thread a while back.

It's all part of the Virginia Beach Towncenter Project located in this thread
I am glad to see that Virginia Beach is getting a true DT center with tall buildings and shops. Is this the building that is suppose to rival the Granby Tower?
There are 3 more midrise (condo complex block 9, pembroke retail office park, and city center), plus another midrise apartment tower in a development called CityView right on the edge of TC. There are 3 more highrises planned as of right now, the 2nd 20 story office Tower and 2 highrise towers for the City Walk development across the street.
Great tower, but I really hope it isn't surrounded by grass like in the rendering.
That rendering is inaccurate for several reasons (note: pine trees in the background and northern lights in the sky). Don't worry, there are or will be buildings on all sides.

No, in fact the first picture in this thread is the same angle as the night rendering of the Westin. The only different being that the photo is taken from some 300 feet up and the rendering is practically ground level. That should give you an idea of the surrounding area.
BTW, most of the trees in this area are Sweet gums, pines, and oaks.
Today I took some new pics. A security guard asked me why I was taking pics, I said for my personal enjoyment. He said don't you know it is illegal? I shrugged my shoulders and kept walking.
