I had to see it for myself. I fueled up my jet and flew over to take some photos.

Of course I used Google Earth to make sure it was really there, and to get an exact location for the GPS auto-pilot before I burned all that time and fuel to fly all the way over there That video looked a bit fake, so I was skeptical.

You can see the 3-4 year construction progress on Google Earth. Located at 24° 16.506'N, 113° 28.994'E
