Google says that it's still under construction. Seems like there is no actual progress even though it has not been officially cancelled.

Rama9 and Ratchada is not a bad area overall.  The STREET mall has lots of nice places to eat and a very popular hangout place with the locals.  Major soapies are also in the same area.

I know that it has been cancelled but I am not sure why. Probably because of the area or some people not liking the tower itself to be made there. There are a lot of issues with building a tower especially if its a massive structure like a tower. However, there may just be a delay for construction because it seems that this is an important project and they would not just remove themselves from the sitaution. I think that something is up and there is something delaying it but there is also the possbility of it being outright cancelled by the company that was forced to build it.

Here's an article explaining why things are up in the air. Essentially one company acquired a majority stake in the company developing the tower and now the buyer has to decide whether to keep going on the tower project or use the land for something else.
