i really know nothing about except that it will have 2 towers. hope u guys find something about it. (Sorry for changing your thread just adding some offical details now this project has been confirmed)

http://www.propertyworldme.com/content/images/article_541.jpg

Emaar Properties today announced a new release of apartments for immediate sale in The Residences at Burj Dubai to satisfy growing demand for upscale family homes that possess the world’s most exclusive address and luxurious lifestyles right in the heart of Dubai Downtown area.

Going on sale is a selection of one, two and three bedroom apartments located in two high rise towers facing Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest tower, looking across landscaped parks and with a view of the skyline of Sheikh Zayed Road.

The Residences at Burj Dubai, launched earlier this year to a positive response, offers a choice between six towers on the shores of a spectacular man-made lake. Details are available at The Residences Presentation Centre, which is located at the Burj Dubai Development site and is open from 9am to 8pm, seven days a week.

Jackie Reed, Sales Manager, Emaar Properties, said this new release satisfies growing demand from around the world for these exclusive upmarket apartments. “Homeowners are increasingly moving into upscale residences. No longer are homes looked upon as only providing shelter, but now, more than ever, are also places to find the luxury of an exclusive address and upscale lifestyle. The Residences has become the most desired address for homeowners with a penchant for city living,” she said.

“We sold all apartments - nearly 220 - in a very short period of time when we released two of the six-building project earlier this year. The demand clearly outstripped supply. With this new release, we will be able to satisfy some of that demand.

“The lifestyle in the Burj Dubai Development is urban with all the amenities of a metropolitan centre but with the comforts and security of an exclusive community. The close proximity of Burj Dubai, the facilities of Dubai Mall, the unique attractions of The Boulevard and the grand heritage of The Old Town add to the appeal of this exceptional residential property,” she said.

“Burj Dubai embodies the dreams and aspirations of the people of Dubai. It represents the city’s determination to create something that stands comparison with the best available elsewhere in the world,” Reed added. “The Development is going to be a magnet for tourists, drawn to the city’s new elegant downtown area where hotels, cinemas, shopping centres and entertainment sites will radiate out from the Tower.”

The interiors of The Residences will feature design themes with Far East and metropolitan elements, expressed in elegant woodwork and rich finishes. The Far East interiors are a modern interpretation of Arabic style and architecture and use Islamic patterns and details. The Metropolitan style strives for cool refinement in its use of sleek contemporary fittings and hardware.

Facilities at The Residences include swimming pools, squash courts, a golf course, fitness centre, a mini theatre, library, business centre and guest suite. The apartments feature the latest in IT and communications technology and 24--hour security and maintenance, basement parking and concierge facilities are provided.

Also seems to me that the images for these towers and the same renders as have been used for the first 6 towers

or may there are only 6 towers confused again as news reports seem to over lap
may this is just the second relase of the towers as found this
“We sold all apartments - nearly 220 - in a very short period of time when we released two of the six-building project earlier this year. The demand clearly outstripped supply. With this new release, we will be able to satisfy some of that demand."

At Night light up and work going on all night well till like 10 or so when I leave work some nights
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid130/p7ab09f11f9023105e40acecc5ae8b9d3/f7b9ba58.jpg

these must be getting close to topping out as a few of these are under 20 Floors
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid130/p458c1816c7917414cc68cac6fbf1ba5a/f7b71826.jpg

i was at the sales center yesterday. there are still some apartments left in the residences 1 which will be finished in late 2005.

i asked for floor plans, availabilities, prices,...

it turned out that the other parts of the residences haven't been launched yet and there also is no launching date.

if you'll buy an apartment in residences 1 you will live in a huge building site for almost 5 years!!! i mean to see these babies growing is an adventure, but would you like to LIVE in there???

omce it will be finished it will sure be one of the most desirable places, but the prices range from minimum 1.8 million aed to max 3.5 million for those who are left. i don't want to pay this amount to live in a construction site for 5 years.

but i suppose for many people it's just an investment and they will resell it in 5 years for double price!!!

where in Dubai isint a building site at the moment, everywhere is undergoing some sort of development at the moment

sure, but this one is a long lasting one!!!

here's an updated masterplan that was included in the official info brochure.

i think you mean this 4 red buildings and stuff around?! this will be a convention center!

the girl at the sales center told me that there are no specific details yet,as only burj dubai and the two residences parts have officially been launched yet. but it will be a convention center!

From the motorway
http://img80.exs.cx/img80/9672/burjdubairesidences.jpg

thanks for the update after a long "drought"
should be completed end of next year

NO! it's an red X! :(

am amazed at the pace these towers went up. Nowdays, everythin is fast track with 40 + buildings completed in a year or less.

yep but htye need to start work on the business towers so these ones dont looks so alone

will take some more time i think
nothing new has been launched so far
but maybe construction on new towers has already started without a press release, as it happened so many times

if only we could get in there
i wounder if there will be a good view from AL MUALLA TOWER and its car park
any one want to sneak up the built carpark ?

Al Mualla tower would be a perfect place.

From Today :/

very good

wow
almost topped out
have grown a lot since mid-summer

hmm i dont think big change from when i was there

compared to other Dubai buildings , these have taken quite a long time to rise , dont you guys agree ?

yes expect much more
given location and height and standard desgin should not be taking this long

Im gonna try to drive up to them on Thursday to get some pics as I have nothing on Emporis for these 6 towers

nice
would love to see close-ups
maybe more stuff visible from there

once they are open to residents i wounder if you will be able to drive up to them ?
I mean will the stop at the gate will there be a guard house just as you leave the main road
Might be our chance to get up close

i'm convinced there will be security and only authorized people may get in there
imagine the crowds that would go there (me included :D )

I guess
seems its might be needed to protect the privacy of the residents of The Residents :)

if i was resident there i would be happy to have a security gate

Almost all of them are topped out, that was fast!

Not a very interesting design, these won't distract you from Burj Dubai.

Wow! Really nice! Theese will turn out great!

now that some of the huge glass facades are up they turn out to look way better than before!!!

mmm. very nice. i hope they remove that crane at some point though.

now that some of the huge glass facades are up they turn out to look way better than before!!!

Yeah, but the glass facades makes just 1 1/2 of total. The rest 2 1/2, not facing the burj, is still commie block like.

well perhaps they will put the glass facade on the hole building in near time...is this visible from the renders...?

dennis
can you add these to emporis and get dubai daves consent. Would dubai dave know heights?????

well i'm not allowed to upload somebody else's pics

but yes, if dubai dave new the heights that would be awesome, but i guess he would have already posted them here

me neither, only someone elses completed building pics not U/C ones. I still find that strange. Ill post something about it on editors page

well perhaps they will put the glass facade on the hole building in near time...is this visible from the renders...?

What is clearly visible from the building itself, is that only the part facing Burhj Dubai will be all-glass facade. The other sides will not and the clading of the first tower is already compleated as it is very clear even from the pictures posted here.

MHMMMM that is what i do not like on emaar. they are NOT ABLE build a completely nice tower...
well, let us be happy with one side of glass..better than nothing..

nice renders, though the towers itself don't look that nice...
but i like the glass facade...

I really hate these sand tones that emmar love to use.
there good colours for dubai but they really dont go with reflective glass. they need to make their minds up!

believe it or not, i have the heights :happy:

(W1) 85m
(W2) 115m
(W3) 135m
(E1) 76m
(E2) 122m
(E3) 70m

edited on emporis

The tallest just 135 m tall???? It doesn't look right

The tallest just 135 m tall???? It doesn't look right

135m is fine
i was right in front of them and they're not tall
and they don't have any spire and rooftop features, but alumco mixed something up!!!!




another emporis editor gave me a hint on a possible mistake, here's my reply to him and explanation what went wrong:

i checked my burj dubai sales brochure which i took with me from the sales center

there is a large render of the residences and it seems like they have mixed up a couple of towers.

they have given me the following order:
E3, W2, E1, W1, E2, W3 (=> haha) seems like they can't count

i have checked the height differences and perspectives (a few towers are set back)

it has to be like this: (from left to right in the render)
E3 = 70m (24 floors)
E2 = 122m (34 floors)
E1 = 85m (29 floors) [mixed up with W1]
W1 = 76m (26 floors) [mixed up with E1]
W2 = 115m (34 floors)
W3 = 135m (41 floors)

now it's perfect, i have checked the proportions and compared E2 to W2, which are both 34 floors, but E2 is 7m taller. both rest on the same type of podium with the only difference that the rootop of E2 is a bit higher than W2's rooftop. (watch the blocks on top of the towers)

41 floors and 135m... how did they do that. well ok no spire at all...
dennis you wouldn't fit into that flats i guess.lol

An alternative view of the Residences

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/seonnecken/TheResidences1Apr05.jpg

You dont need a render of the BB executive towers because they look EXACTLY the same as these :bash:

Why is everything about Emaar so bland :bash:

bb is not emaar and they look different
well there are similarities, but the executive towers still have a better design

how do you guys know how executive towers look like?

They are in the newspaper :P well i`m off to watch RING 2

There are small renderings on www.dubai-properties.ae but they aren't very clear but they're nothing like the towers in the ad which Altind posted. Have you guys seen them somewhere else or you're just going by the newspaper ad?

http://files.bighosting.net/uf20921.jpg
http://files.bighosting.net/wd20923.jpg

ugly.
even more on that pic.
but thanks anyway for keeping us up to date.

well i dont think they r ugly, i like the glass facade....

but only from 1 side it is looking ok.
the rest... uäh

Lookin ok...so they looks topped out to me?

nope they aren't topped out all...

I don't know what to say about the towers, I need to see them completed.

they are not ugly!
normal ...yes!

but dalma and sheik essa are ugly!

sheikh essa is ugly...
dalma..ah well not really.normal.
but the residences...ah...come on.they are not nice...

not awesome!

but not ugly!

just....towers!

more ugly than awesome...!

Awesomely ugly.

less and less impressed by these as time goes on
not worthy of being in the same project as the Burh Dubai
I would like to distant my self from any praise or interst i have given these towers in the past

lol.
well. i still hope they will look nicer when completed..but...well i doubt it...

rember this is the precast and glass side, the backs look cool as they are all glass as seen from Kalil road

yepp we had one photo of that side i can remember

these are only being built to make the burj dubai look better, so dont expect anything too stunning

the burj dubai may look worse with them in background.

or otherwise it might look better because you see those ugly towers in background. possibly. lol

^I think they are more inappropriate than ugly. They look like some blend of a vancouver condo and one in the Netherlands.

they're both

^I think they are more inappropriate than ugly. They look like some blend of a vancouver condo and one in the Netherlands.

Afterall, the architects are Canadien. :sleepy:

no wonder..
like all those emaar guys.
are there no architects from otherwhere available or what...

Afterall, the architects are Canadien. :sleepy:

No wonder.. DarkBlueBoss, what do you have to say for yourself?

This is from a Multiplex press release, although it isn't very clear on which towers are at Burj Dubai Residences Development and Dubai Marina Development:

Multiplex has been awarded the contracts to build 12 additional residential towers within the within the exclusive Burj Dubai Residences Development and Dubai Marina Development.

Multiplex Constructions, through its subsidiary Nasa Multiplex, has been appointed by Emaar Properties, one of the region's leading developers and for whom Multiplex is building nine residential towers of between 27 and 42 storeys in phases 1 and 2 of the development.

The new construction project is known as Burj Dubai. The residences phase 3 and District 7WX include the design and construction of 12 residential towers (two 23-storey, four 31-storey, four 36-storey and two 44-storey luxury apartment towers), 58 townhouses and villas, associated podium, parking, landscaping and facilities.

Phase one of the development has now completed structural completion on all six towers. With similar designs to those being built in phases 1 and 2, the project provides opportunities for resource management.

they are not ugly!
normal ...yes!

but dalma and sheik essa are ugly!


Hehe Thank God Sheikh Isa tower wasn't built in Bahrain :D , and if your wonderin, this Sheikh from Bahrain wanted to build a tower after the late Emir of Bahrain and that's why this tower was born, hehe not really a nice tribute.

the real question is... what could poses an architect to put roman columns at the base of a glass skyscraper?, but back on topic:

i think these will make a nice forground to BD, from R44. hopefully these new ones will look nicer, wonder where the're going?

Not sure they wil be any "nicer "
as it says "With similar designs to those being built in phases 1 and 2,"
Still i think this thread need to be redesgin or linked as we have

The Residences Stage one - 6 towers
The Residences Tower W3 135 m 41
The Residences Tower E2 122 m 34
The Residences Tower W2 115 m 34
The Residences Tower E1 85 m 29
The Residences Tower W1 76 m 26
The Residences Tower E3 70 m 24 2005

The Residences Stage Two - 3 towers
3 towers

The Residences Stage Three - 12 towers
2 X 23-storey,
4 X 31-storey,
4X 36-storey
2 X 44-storey

what is stage 2 & 3?
never heard about any other phases of the residences

there was something on ameinfo i can remember? or where did you get that?

I added stage 2 awhile ago to emporis. read about it in the paper but there was never a render and its called Burj Views and there are 2x 40 F and 1x 34F.
As for stage 3, It needs to be added as we have heard about it but not anything regarding floors. Trances where did you get those floors from?

ah, burj views, yes of course
thought you were talking about towers of the same design like the residences

didn't know about any stage 3 so far. hopefully these towers will look better

added the 12 towers and Im almost possitive all 3 stages will be simmilar in design . Typical EMAAR design is precast clading with exposed agregate, aqua reflective curtain walling and a bit of a podium.
Works so why change

cool
12 more

we've just broken the 500 buildings mark as i've added the elite towers last week

funny thing is we only have 136 completed buildings.
Only wish we could complete the completed buildings as there are loads in Duiera and Bur Dubai over 12 floors that arent in the data base and I just dont have the time anymore.
at least we are keep ahead of the proposed and approved ones

exterior should be completed this summer

all of them are topped out now

They need dusting off. :)

and why are they so slow???

because they were doing the roof and exterior work , maybe interior too, at the same time i guess.

but still far away from looking nice




DL they will never look nice.

^ I agree with that.

me too.

I agree as well

I beg to differ on the grounds of plathentesis

Ok

plathen..??

Abstract, random, to disagree without an opinion to establish a dialouge of dicussion.

dialouge of dicussion...??

we should contact woods bagot in Dubai to get heights of the rest of the towers in this complex as we only have the first 6 towers heights and there are 11 more u/c

I must tell you guys that yeasterday I drove behind these towers to the Burj Downtown offices and the mock up and sales areas and I was blown away by what I saw. The proposed landscaping, roadways, waterfeatures etc were all stunning and you are right up close behind these 6 towerts. they ahev seperate displey suits for the burj, residneces, old town the mall etc and they are all so well done. Cant wait to see more.
As for the burj, if you drive further you can see the burj formwork now and Id say its at about level 3 or 4.
I recomed anyone to go round there to get some awesome tower pics

this time i totally trust in emaar ,
they are pretty good in masterplanning and landscaping (marina), and this project will be great, hope you can provide some more infos saboy. thanks.

is the the reflection of the ESB tower on the first tower to your right :)

I think its the 60 story burj lake hotel

lookng very emaar and almost complete
wonder how long before the next set start

Oh my god , emaar is going hong kong on us , ugly beasts :(

Could someone do me a huge favour and host that pic on imageshack.us? I'm desperate to see it

:Desperation:

--> Agree with Dubai Boy. looks ugly to me.
[hey, I'm Pasha, I never write here but read daily all the updates :)]

I alway think of dubai as a land of architectural opportunities because of all the oil an the money.
But I'm very disappointed of those towers. I's very "HongKongish" and in my opinion - insults the Burj.

I mean mostly the left, "streight" towers...

I've visited the site this morning and taken some pictures, I will upload them soon InshAllah.

lol, youre too lazy to post to differnt posts ;)
do you have better pics than D-L, thanks btw, or didn't you manage to get a better position for pictures?

i like these towers.:) dono why. maybe coz everyone hates them, and i feel sorry for them:) but trully like them.

when was Hong Kong a Bad thing ????

The buildings are build in the Dubai style. I like them. :)

would rather say "emaar" style ;) but they are ok.

I think they should be soon ready for the first residents. But......
The tower looking like an island in the sea of construction. I think it`s not very pleasent to live there now if you are not a skyscraper fan.

i wouldnt care :D

Emaar turns the spotlight on upscale living as Penthouses in The Residences come up for sale

Emaar Properties today announced that the 16 exclusive luxury penthouses that are the defining lifestyle features of The Residences towers at the Burj Dubai Development, will go on sale Thursday (August 25).


The Penthouses, offering spectacular views across the emirate's new Downtown district, will be the most sought after address in Dubai.

The 3, 4 and 5 bedroom, 2,900 to 7,000 sq ft penthouse apartments, with extensive sweeping terraces, go on sale from 3:00pm onwards at the Downtown Living Presentation Centre within the Burj Dubai Development. Sales are on a first-come, first-served basis.

'The Penthouses are the ultimate in luxury,' said Naaman Atallah, Emaar Properties' Director of Sales. 'These are some of the most desirable properties in Dubai and are a match for the best. Middle East lifestyle will be redefined by these apartments.'

'The privileged few who will be able to call The Residences home will live in one of the most coveted urban developments located in close proximity to top class leisure, dining, entertainment and business facilities,' Atallah added.

Owners are the only ones to have access to their floor at The Penthouses, while double glazed windows and an advanced security system provide them unblemished privacy. Whereas terraces lead from the master bedroom and enable the privileged owner to enjoy the spectacular views, appliances with luxury brand names, timber veneer cabinetry in the kitchen and superior finishes add to this statement of luxury.

The six towers that make up The Residences are located within the heart of the Burj Dubai Development between The Boulevard and the man-made lake. They offer modern urban living, embrace the latest technology and use the finest materials and cutting edge design to create individually styled apartments.

Facilities for residents include swimming pools, a squash court, a golf simulation room, fitness centre, a mini theatre, library, business centre and guest suite. The homes also feature the latest in IT and communications technology, 24-hour security and maintenance, basement parking and a concierge.

The 500-acre mixed use Burj Dubai Development is Emaar's most ambitious project to date combining commercial, residential, hotel, entertainment, shopping and leisure outlets in open green spaces dotted with lakes and numerous water features. Along with the Burj Dubai - the world's tallest tower, the development will also include The Old Town, The Dubai Mall, The Old Town Island, The Burj Dubai Boulevard, Burj Dubai Business Hub, Burj Dubai Lake Hotel and Serviced Apartments, The Residences and Burj Views - all located on the banks of a spectacular man-made lake.

Emaar puts limited edition The Residences villas in the shop window

The 29 top of the range villas in The Residences - some of the most prestigious homes to emerge to date from the Burj Dubai Development - will go on sale today, developer Emaar announced today.

http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/7/16997-redi.jpg

I like these towers actually. When will they be ready for occupation?

considering the situation around this project, i'd say next fall!

i like the huge balconies..

I like these towers actually. When will they be ready for occupation?


Emaar promised Jan 2006 originally and then claimed construction was ahead of schedule throughout. Now they say the surrounding infrastructure may not be ready for several months so there is inevitably going to be much further delay.

What do you suppose the rents for a 2BR or a 3BR apartment here would be like?

can cleary see the next set of 3 coming up behind at least in those images

rents will be quite high once burj dubai district is done.
anyway it depends on how the market will behave

^ do u think theyll be more expensive then da dimonds dubaiflo ??

i really like emaar buildings they do it so fast at what buildings they do ..its amazing

^ do u think theyll be more expensive then da dimonds dubaiflo ??


are you serious? of course they will be :hahaha:

Still don't like them.

I think that the glass on these towers is fantastic hopefully it will look really nice reflecting the lake and the BD! I have a question though, are the 3 additional residence towers different than Burj Views? I think they are but i was kind of confused.

@waaz1,

They are the 2nd edition of the Residences called T1, T2, T3.

Burj Views is behind Old Town.

are you serious? of course they will be :hahaha:

its obvious given the location, its jst that they dont look like a high-end real estate, it looks like its for the middle class, it reminds me of a strip of highrises on the way between dubai and sharjah, they look really simillar.

don't judge from looks. :D

^ These towers are clasic Toronto - style, lake view, luxury condos.

^ anyway, they deserve a group photo:

http://************/eupzdk.jpg

quite awesome

More then 6 weeks gone. What's the status now?

I doubt if its much more than all the windows being in, and tidying up at the bases.

the shared podium still is heavily under c while the towers' exteriors are pretty much done
they slow down a bit

who's gonna live in there next year

no access!!!

drive through the dust ? Might be a good way for us to access to the site :)

to calrify the location of the residences, 18 towers



this is the newest masterplan
should give you an idea of what is being built around it


1 burj dubai
2 dubai mall
3 the old town
4 burj dubai boulevard
5 & 5a the residences (18 towers)
6 burj dubai lake park
7 south ridge (6 towers)
8 burj dubai business hub (6 low-rises)
9 burj dubai lake hotel (63 storeys 300m)
10 buej dubai metro station
11 the lofts (3 towers)
12 burj views (3 towers)
13 8 boulevard walk (38 storeys)

these are the projects announced and under construction within the complex, except the metro station

now you can also see how many plots for towers on the left side of the burj dubai are yet to be announced!!!


http://************/jzws43.jpg

I think people live in them already, I've seen a few lights in some windows at night time, they looked occupied, not construction type of lights

doubt that really...

poor guys who bought in burj views...

and all the other buildings seem to be towers indeed, i guess most of them 30F. amazing.
thanks dennis.

btw i need this in higher Res for the map :bash:

I think people live in them already, I've seen a few lights in some windows at night time, they looked occupied, not construction type of lights


i assume this is interior fit-out
they can take their time
there is no way to enter this complex without facing death! :D

the whole podium is still undergoing heavy construction works

3 new residences towers left of the existing complex

http://************/k49xmd.jpg

:eek: oh wow already 3/4 way up i assume.
btw anyone to change the thread title?

What, are they nine now?

there will be a total of 21 Residences tower with similar design.


Multiplex is pleased to announce it has been awarded contracts to build 12 additional residential towers in Dubai within the exclusive “Burj Dubai Residences Development” and the Dubai Marina Development.

Multiplex Constructions, through its subsidiary, Nasa Multiplex, has been appointed by Emaar Properties, one of the region’s leading property developers and for whom Multiplex is currently building nine residential towers in Phases 1 and 2 of the development.

The new construction projects, known as “Burj Dubai – The Residences” Phase 3 and District 7WX, include the design and construction of 12 residential towers (two 23 storey, four 31 storey, four 36 storey and two 44 storey luxury apartment towers), 58 townhouses and villas, associated podium, parking, landscaping and facilities.

The design of each of the new towers is very similar to those being built in Phases 1 and 2, providing opportunities in terms of design and resource management. Phase 1 of the development has now achieved structural completion on all six towers, allowing for transfer of structural resources to the new projects and benefits in terms of design knowledge and milestone achievements.

The total gross construction area of the new buildings is over 340,000 square metres, with a construction value of approximately A$392 million in total.

this is for you face ;)

This is terrible news. Why do always have bad news for me???? :tongue2:

i like it. this means 12 new highrises, in rather ok design around burj dubai, and not everything looks like a total mess.

this press release on multiplex' website is almost 1 year old
giles has added them to emporis back then

all i can say is, 3 of them are well under c and are next to the current residences

i am sure there will be 21.
i read this in propert.ae magazine a few months back.

also, the article was published in april 2005 i think.

http://************/mc3xvd.jpg

i dont think i could ever love these buildings. :(

get closer altin
from here they don't look great
once you are right in front of them, it's very nice, guaranteed!

i like them... :runaway:

doubt that really...

poor guys who bought in burj views...

:bash:

Why "poor guys" ? Whats wrong with Burj Views? Are they planning on cancelling it or changing its location or something?

i think the location is rather crappy execept if you bought in the top 10 floors.

Actually, it might seem crappy now but once Business Bay begins getting built, the people will have great views on both sides ;).

burj views views are at least not blocked!
they are behind the old town, a high-rise free zone

dennis they r not directly behind the oldtown there is a chance of another row of towers in front actually.

i don't expect real high-rises there

should be maybe bigger than old town but smaller than burj views

I dont know if you guys know this but old town has 2 towers, one of them over 40 floors.

where did you hear that? more information?

I just enquired with an Emaar sales representative today and he told me that there will be a few towers in front of burj views i.e right behind old town but nothing more than 9-10 floors high. I guess Burj Views will have some great views then.

The towers behind the residences will have some good views too, but only of Business Bay towers which are still quite some time away. Well, everyone can't be a winner!

talking about facade

could be worse. looks very similar to phase1!

I like these honestly. Not too flashy but still, not ugly either

Quite nice actually.

http://i1.************/nlwx1y.jpg

this is the south ridge altin!

can somebody tell me what the building in front of south ridge is?

the cannot be a AC/Electricity or water facility, can it?

I think it was discussed before that is ia a district cooling facility.

but this was just guessing.. wasn't it..
