Second is most likely a mockup photo for the project as it was proposed.
No it's real; see my other comment.
Yeah I meant they did go through with it, but it's not (yet) exactly like the plans show; they're still building most of the stuff around it.

these aren't plans tho, I'm pretty sure it's a real picture
