Woooooh look at the al salam tower RISE :P

Main Crane was coming down today ( June 28th 2004 )

What do you think of those red bands now ?

not a fan of red buildings

i know thats why i said it
does this fear of red trace back to some childhood event ?

na, I just dont think red should be used in buildings. Its not a cool colour ,which should be used in dubai more. I actually think this building is very kitch like the Al Attar tower across the road from it. Im more into the classical minamalist architecture of Pelli /foster etc

Would say this one is completed now

think that too, when i was at szr there were already some "normal" people going into and coming out of the tower.

sa boy, ready to edit this as complete!

First project development thread to get status of "construction completed" ????

yep that was thinking
will have to pic of the lobby if i can when it opens in like a few months

Yip I have changed it from U/c to completed as well

should be moved to new sub forum completed towers
Completed Towers sub forum will have all old projects in it should be only a few this year but will get quiet a few more in next few months the rapidly grow faster !

sure i know we only have two but it was my plan to do this very soon you know to keep order as they threads are of intrest but there is no way that they will be as active any way

a new pic i didn't post here

oh love that red

Ugly.
But the top looks kinda Chinese?:?

we need to sign a petition to get this one demolished

I like it. Even though i prefer brighter colours it stands out. Yup, i like it :D.

I too.

well it is not that bad samir but at least they could move it to another location, it looks so stupid next to chelsea tower...

The red bands look okay from far away, but horrible up close. Looks like painted concrete. Bleh.

The top looks unique. Any pics?

the facade looks great, its jst the red that i hate !! makes it look out of place with its neighbours

how do so many people like this shit....

the concrete roman colums are enough reason to knock it down, let alone the balconys and...the stripes...oh the stripes...

this tower is the most embarracing thing for Dubai, the design is absolutely revolting in all the senses of tht word.

Height??

too colourful.

today

http://************/f250le.jpg

surprise surprise... it still looks as shit as ever.

in fact i hate it more now, i never noticed those small pillars at the top before.

it shouldnt have been built next to the good looking, tall modern white tower next door..

Thank God they didn't build this in Bahrain, they wouldn't allow it, no way. Mind you for those ppl who don't know who Sheikh Essa is, well he's the late amir of Bahrain and it's a Bahraini investor :D.

Is that an applebee's at the bottom?

Is that an applebee's at the bottom?

Yup.

This is interesting...

A tower in Dubai named after our late amir (god rest his soul)...! :)

Built by a Bahraini sheikh, that's why.

ahh this one with apple.b.rest saw it a year ago, looks ok!

Its a democratic world you see! this is freedom of choice isn;t it? and who said arab world is not democratic? :)

Wasn't this one built before the Chelsea? That i s the one that you're refering to, right?

And I didn't know they had applebee's in Dubai, that is pretty cool, but i thought that SZR would have more upsclale restaurants than that.

Is that Apple bees ?

it is, read posts above ;)

this one and chelsea were UC at the same time, don't know who started first, i guess this one, it was completed first as well. but it is not that tall of course.

What does the top look like?

^ As ugly as the rest of the building :D

Look at the ridiculous columns on top of the red stripe.

Why does Dubai allow such buildings, not a good strategy. Besides the name, the design is hahah oh well, why, I'd rather not have a building rather than it bein an eyesore.

it's also funny that almost every high-rise in dubai has a helipad on the roof although using helicopters in the city is prohibited
one day another building is goint to rise next to this one and it's most likely going to b taller

tell me any pilot who will be able to land between chelsea and the future tower next to sheikh essa?

that also means, people sitting on the balconies will be blown away :D

Really?!

:hilarious

That's so funny.....
Helipads with no helicopters to land on?
Or making provisions?

Why are helicopters prohibited btw? :?

why is this tower still discussed in here if its been proved to be one of the ugliest ???this is funny:)

Wow, I hate this tower, it is SO ugly!!
I heared it will be sandwitched between the Chelsea Tower and a 300+ meters Meredian.
