Dubai Pearl, the futuristic city of the Gulf to be achieved in 2006

http://www.reedmidem.com/mipim/hotelandtourism/article.php3?id_article=178

Construction work on Dubai Pearl, the US$850 million futuristic city, has started. To be completed in May 2006, the project will add some 1.2 million square feet of retail and leisure facilities to Dubai's shopping environment.


Two novel features of the township include the permanent indoor opera/theatre venue, the largest in the Middle East with a seating capacity of 1,800 and the Technoworld, a permanent showcase of the latest technology.

Dubai Pearl will feature three business hotels (some 1,500 hotel rooms and suites) : two four-star hotels and a luxury hotel. This 720-room five-star hotel will be a smart business hotel managed by the Swiss Mövenpick Group.

According to Omnix Group, developers of the project, Dubai Pearl is one of the largest construction projects in the world and will incorporate everything needed for a self-contained community. Located within the Dubai Media City Free Trade Zone, at the entrance of the new Palm Island development, Dubai Pearl connects the two main coastal roads and overlooks the sea and the surrounding residential and leisure areas.

I thought I'd add a couple of photos of this project posted way earlier on ssp...

yes, you can't almost see anything yet. but today i passed by and you can see that they have started construction. they are preparing the ground right now, so it's just a matter of (short) time!!

While driving past dubai pearl towards Dubai Marina i see that there is a huge construction site but the has'nt been anything going on there for a long time. I peeked in the site and theres a huge hole (looked like a huge tower was going to be in plave) and there was no cranes or anything. The boarding said it was going to be a dubai islamic bank. has it been cancelled?

construction started on the Pearl, a couple of small cranes occupy the site (laying foundations)

They have deffinatly started on this, The site offices are up and the tast poile has been in the ground for over a month no so they are ready to begin. There are also loads of Swiss boring piling rigs there . Dident see if they had started but all signs point to it.

yep it been like tat for like a week
but no signs yet

you might have seen that dubai pearl homepage www.dubaipearl.com doesn't have any content yet!

Arabtec to construct Dubai Pearl Hotel
Arabtec Construction has been awarded The Dubai Pearl Hotel contract to build the 60-storey, high-rise hotel at the Dubai Pearl Development situated within Dubai Media City.

From left to right: Mr Riad Kamal – M.D. of Arabtec & Mr Jamal Abu Isa - M.D. of Dubai Pearl Inc.

The 287meter, 5-star hotel is a partnership between M/s Dubai Pearl Inc. (DPI) and M/s Kingdom Hotel Investment Group. The construction period for the AED 485 million hotel is 26 months and the completion date will be December 2006.

Given its unique setting, within the fast growing business district of Media City and overlooking the Jumeirah Palm Island,

The Master planner and Architect for the Development is M/s Chapman Taylor, UK and the consultant for the Hotel is M/s Norr Group. The Hotel will be operated by the Swiss hospitality chain Movenpick and will be fashioned to the highest international standards of luxury and service.

The footprint of the hotel is designed to grant every guestroom with a stunning water view. The hotel will accommodate 7 specialty restaurants, a 1600 sqm ballroom and business function facility, over 2000 sqm of business center facility and a state of the art Gymnasium and wellness Spa covering over 3000 sqm.

One of the unique features of the hotel will be the observation deck, 230 meters above sea level which will provide an overwhelming view of the Arabian Gulf, The Palm Jumeirah and the surroundings. The magical views and exotic cuisines planned for the multi-level restaurant and bar on the top floor will soon make it a sought after destination in Dubai.

In addition to its many features, the hotel is well integrated with the rest of the Dubai Pearl development which includes- cultural, retail, residential and business facilities.

The Dubai Pearl Hotel will be a resourceful and stunning response to a fast moving city.

Mr Riad Kamal – M.D. of Arabtec said 'We are proud to have been selected for implementing this prestigious project, it enhances our current portfolio which includes 17 other high rise towers: 13 for JBR1 & JBR3. Two towers for Al Fattan Properties and one for Le Reve all at Dubai Marina plus Al Yamamah Tower at Dubai Creek, in addition to the 2000 Villas currently under construction for EMAAR at the Meadows, Springs and Arabian Ranches.'

This hotel was build a couple of years ago by a Saudi Businessman and opened as a 5-star Holiday Inn. I use to receive many calls from them, invideing me to be a member and have discount on their restaurants.

It quickly changed the managment to Moevenpick, though I have no idea why.

hotel really looks nice, but i think the location is not that good
if i remember well, it's near an exit of emirates road? and a long way to go to the coast from there, right and even a long way to city center?
or am i mixing it up with another hotel?

yes that correct long way from coast behind the Zebeal park on road to Grand Hyatt

moevenpick is actually swiss and the current hotel in karama (across the street from the American hospotal) and right next door to the Adoc and Eppco head office on SZR. Its a great hotel and I have had some good nights there

this is basically a copy of bundar island development project in karachi, it might be the same company making it thought cos it was an arab, but the one in karachi will have a 7 star hotel and a tramline and more buildings. the rest is the same.

does this project in karachi have a thread here at skyscrapercity

does this project in karachi have a thread here at skyscrapercity


no there are no pictures up, but there is a short video clip on it.

wheres the vid clip? wouldn't mind taking a look at it

Dubai Pearl to launch residential units soon

By Manoj Nair


Dubai: Dubai Pearl Inc, developer of the Dh3.7 billion mixed-use development in the Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone, will launch its residential units this year.

Part of the 3,600 upscale units at Dubai Pearl Residences, comprising six 55-storey towers, will be launched during this initial phase.

The residential towers are located at the forefront of the Dubai Pearl development, facing Al Soufouh Road and offering a view of the sea encompassing the The Palm Jumeirah.

In what may be a pioneering move, Dubai Pearl will also target a corporate customer base for its residential units.

By the looks of it, the target market has responded favourably.

"The fact that we could get commitments for 1,000 units from reputable corporate entities even before the formal launch is a phenomenon that cannot be ignored," said Waleed Ghafari, chief operating officer of Dubai Pearl Inc.

"During our initial feasibility study we did look at six or seven business models. What we have now come up with is, in our opinion, best suited to a signature development as Dubai Pearl."

Dubai Pearl development will feature 11 towers which will include six residential, two commercial and three luxury hotel towers.

The development also includes a gross area of 1.1 million square feet of retail space, out of which 650,000 square feet has been committed

The Pearl Centre, a 700,000 square foot shopping centre, will cater to a primarily premier shopping experience. It will have a 12-screen cineplex.

"We see the retail centre as meeting the requirements of a consumer base within the Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone, the surrounding residences and the many hotels and resorts within a three mile radius of the project.

"The retail centre will focus on concept based stores. Given its location within the free zone, the Pearl Centre will attract brands that want to operate their business without the involvement of a local sponsor," Ghafari said.

The project will also encompass the Dubai Royal Hall an 1,800-seat indoor auditorium dedicated to the performing arts. It will be a venue for touring Broadway shows, theatre performances and concerts.

Then there is the TechnoSpace, a 500,00-square foot permanent showcase for technology based retail, events and conventions.

The completion date for the entire project is December 2006.

"When we launched the project, our estimated cost was around Dh3.3 billion.

"At that time, we did factor in contingencies that could lead to higher costs. Our present estimate of Dh3.7 billion represents some of the increase in construction costs in the recent past, but the bulk of the revaluation comes from changes that we bought to the project itself to make it truly exclusive and one of a kind," Ghafari said.

Construction deals to be awarded soon

* Dubai Pearl Inc. will be awarding construction contracts valued at Dh1.4 billion within the next 60 days.
* These contracts will pertain to four of the six residential towers to be constructed at The Dubai Pearl Development. Two separate contracts will be awarded for built-up areas of 1.6 million square feet and 1.5 million square feet.
* The residential towers are located at the forefront of the Dubai Pearl development, facing Al Soufouh Road and offering a view of the sea encompassing the The Palm Jumeirah.

can some one edit this to say 11 towers not 6 please

changed to 11
i guess the other towers will be around 200m

completion in dec 2006??? NEVER!!

Corporate entities have already committed to take about 1,000 units in the Dubai pearl Residences, even before the property sale has been formally launched.

Dubai Pearl, developer of the developer of the Dh3.7 billion ($1 billion) mixed-use development in the Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone, will launch its residential units this year, said a Gulf News report.

The development will have 3,600 upscale units, comprising six 55-storey towers.

2006 seems a little hard but then you never know if all towers start by Feb next year then it might be possible

batching plant up and running on this one and its full steam ahead.
1 mega hotel
6 res towers
2 commercial tower is only 9 in total. 2 missing?

I read somewhere that the 6 res towers will have 55 storeys

2 more hotel towers still due !

True, there are 3 hotels within the complex and I've read that those will be 3 and 4 star.

but I understood that these wont be as tall as the anchor hotel

yes the six other towers are 55, but not as tall as moevenpick

i think it's two 5-star and one 3-star hotel, correct?

according to the picture, the other towers range probably from 200-250 meters this complex is immense, probably one of the world's biggest

This project will really add lots of life and vibe to the jumierah area :) wont it excitied to see it completed

shame on the developers for tis project as well
what is really pissing me off is the way they handle the press releases and all this marketing stuff! :rant:

i asked them when the website will be online
they told me sometime in september!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what do we have now? correct mid december!

i will ask them once more for a website update!
i just don't understand. the new moevenpick hotel has been launched and nothing happened :ohno:

there finally is heavy construction going on
together with the new palm jumeirah entrance gate

a real mess down there

WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH , to tell u the truth , this is the most exciting project in Dubai by far m forgtet about Burj Dubai :)

Wow! this project is Huge!

Wow! this project is Huge!

it sure is , i`m really looking forward to the Opera house planned for this project , i`m kind of a romantic :)

A opera house! That's awesome! :D

this pic by soennecken also gives you an impression of the size of dubai pearl construction site

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

seems there's little or no activity over there, still can't wait to see this one completed. Great photo soennecken.

there is ultra heavy construction going on, but you can't see it in this pic
too high

oh. its just that there seems like they havent dug a big hole yet like the one you'd expect for such a massive project.

maybe they're doing this right now

i can assure you there is lots of construction traffic there and the site is packed with machines and workers

Well there holes there dont forget the size of this site ! Space for 11 towers and heaps of Open areas as well. Great above shot

there are 5 cranes up as well as a monster sized batching plant, I recon the other towers (6 x 55 story res towers will be released soon)

Here is a closer picture of the Dubai Pearl site.
I drove down Al Sufouh a few days ago and there are flyover uprights being erected over this road towards Dubai Pearl. If you look at the picture you can see the elevated road exiting the Palm but it is difficult to visualise where it is headed. Anyone?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/seonnecken/DubaiPearlcopy.jpg :|

I am wondering how the road runs... because usually a road goes straight and the curve in this one is perfectly matched to the circle of the Pearl...

What are those 5 petal like figures in the bottom right corner ??

What are those 5 petal like figures in the bottom right corner ??
part of dmc or dic i guess

concerning the flyovers:
there will be a huge interchange for palm jumeirah which is connected to szr
when you drive down szr and are parallel to palm jumeirah trunk you can see there is a huge free plot under construction. this will become another exit heading from szr towards palm jumeirah

I drove past those buildings recently and wondered what i is , too...

Mhm this interchange is sooo insane, directly from SZR oder the hole distance...
Not sure it will either help or not, as SZR will become more crowded because of that...
well otherwise Jum Beach road would be...
We need something to solve that traffic problem in Dubai....but that's another topic...I'm not sure the railway will help that much...

As soenecken said, also to me it seamed like they were working only on the fly-over bridge and not the site itself.

Here's a picture while driving:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid157/p2eb0dc7e6563f5ce4b4bd9acde03623c/f537a515.jpg

http://vgn.dm.gov.ae/DMEGOV/images/62411200222.jpg

that's the interchange i was talking about

Odd interchange, the traffic headed south on szr cant exit!

this interchange was talked about months ago !!!

Yes the picture is almost a year old.

i am wondering how the new interchange will run, because if it goes straight it will almost run through the middle of the pearl circle...

contacted for heights

AltTab

I agree with ahmedr, compare the pdf renders to the board out in the front of the contsruction site, totally different with the board promising a lot more height for the towers than the pdf.

http://smussuw.jeeran.com/dubai13.JPG

think so too...
let us hope the render on the signboard is newer or even closer to reality than the pdf...
i like this project, will look really awesome in front of the palm entrance.. :)

is it just me, or does anyone else find this project kind of...

random?

where are the 11 towers?? I count 7

i said this in businnes bay thread. thought it would have seven towers ,too and that would have remind me to the seven pearls part of business bay...

it's pretty much confusing with the number of towers for this project

but it seems to be like this:

the whole development will have 11 towers, comprising 6 residential, 2 commercial and 3 hotels

it seems to me that only the 6 residential towers have been awarded yet plus the 287m moevenpick tower.

the other 2 hotels and 2 commercial towers have not yet been finalised hence they are not in the renders.

this is why we see 11 towers on some renders and on another one we only see 7 towers, that's it

theres is a 2 page ad in todays khaleej times

Please scan n post someone!!

yes, would be appreciated

looks like there have been some changes again!

the development now has the following towers

1x 60 floor moevenpick
2x 60 floor hotel towers
2x 50 floor office towers
4x 50+ floors residences

Palm access road works on target

Dubai: Dubai Municipality will complete works on a new network of roads and two interchanges at a total cost of Dh611 million ($166.3 million) that will provide access to The Palm Island and the adjoining areas where several new projects are coming up.

Dubai Municipality director general Qassim Sultan said nearly 30 per cent works of the project had already been completed.
He said one of the new interchanges would be built in Al Safouh Road consisting of fly-overs, tunnels and ring roads that allow free traffic flow around the Dubai Pearl project.
This project alone will cost Dh178 million and is expected to be over by February 2006.

having read all the details on the website i can say it will become a cultural centre in dubai

excited about the royal hall as well as the technospace

it's great to have a year round high-tech fair!

Wow! the best looking towers ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great ones!!!, Defineitly more handsome than before!! :okay:

The new design looks so boring, all uninspiring box towers.

new tower i think: Mahara tower residence

Not everything that glitters has to be gold, DUBAI.

in this masterplan i only see 9 towers :dunno:

http://www.dubaipearl.com/v1/floorplans/images/full_mp.jpg

is this a new one?
maybe because of the redesign etc, we will see..

has anybody noticed the tunnel on the right bottom of that render above??

towers seem to be a very small part site

today
not much to see, just a mess

they have also added a brand new render in front of the complex with the new designs!

from left to right

http://tinypic.com/av6hk2.jpg

cannot even spot holes for the towers...

wipe your glasses and look harder!

this one is going to be a long time
how is the ring road that link up the palm that goes around this complex coming along ?

this project is taking alot of time to move from the Design phase to the UC phase

because of the infrastructure
there are so many roads and bridges in this area

it's a giant mess, maybe the most chaotic site in dubai right now!

it is for sure with jum road UC . the palm interchange and all the new towers and access streets.
for example the street after media city buildings (HP) ends in... nowhere.

Found this on the net:

that actually is an old design

check http://www.dubaipearl.com/v1/ for the new one!!!

new one looks better anyway. really modern.

$1.36bn Dubai Pearl adds new dimension to Dubai
Posted: Tuesday, September 20, 2005

Dubai

Dubai Pearl Inc has announced details of its planned Dh5 billion ($1.36 billion) mixed-use development adjacent to Dubai's Internet, Knowledge and Media cities. The project will have a built up area of 10 million sq ft comprising residential, hotel, commercial and office space with elements designed to reflect the multi-cultural nature of Dubai.

Features of Dubai Pearl will include the Royal Hall, an 1,800-seater venue dedicated to performing arts, and the Art Galleria dedicated to artists and exhibitions.

"Our vision of Dubai Pearl is to create a self contained community that will truly enable guests, residents and visitors to enjoy a fulfilling holistic experience whilst living or visiting Dubai in one destination. Our development offers free zone benefits, luxury hospitality, shopping, residences, wellness and spa and a techno-space exhibition area, but in order to fully reflect the dynamism and creativity of life in modern Dubai, it was equally important to include significant features to celebrate cultural activities," said Jamal Abu Issa, president of Dubai Pearl.

The development will boast three outstanding hotel towers directly connected to the Dubai Pearl Mall, Royal Hall and Art Galleria. The residences will offer the most high tech conveniences with reserved covered parking spaces, 24-hour security, sports facilities, Spa and Gym and many more benefits that ensure a luxurious lifestyle. The Royal Hall will be the largest performing arts venue in the Middle East and will be built to international standards, he said.

"Located in the centre of the Middle East's most dynamic business district spanning 2 million sq ft across 45 levels, each of Dubai Pearl's two office towers is the epitome of sophisticated business environments. Dubai Pearl is home to the world's permanent showcase of technology, Technospace, strategically located within Dubai's Media and Technology Free Zone. The exhibition centre offers a global platform for international brands from within the electronics, technology, and telecommunications industries to showcase their products and services, while serving as a corporate nucleus for international and regional brands," he said.

One of the highlights will be the six-storey covered parking facility that can accommodate up to 15,000 vehicles. Although none of the towers are yet visible on Dubai's skyline, 31 per cent of the site has progressed substantially in planning needs for power, communications, sewage, utilities and roads, said Issa.

The progression involves a huge amount of infrastructure and substantial planning, especially the roadways that are important in making this development a stunning destination, he said. About 75 per cent of the three residential towers are currently sold to investors and completion is scheduled for end 2007.

looks boring imo... different to the renders , doesn't it?

The access infrastructure for the Palm seems to leave not much space for start of development of the Pearl. But I think in the first picture from the top we can see the foundation for the first three towers??

According to a chat with a local property dealer, trade in apartments in the Pearl development are seeing brisk activity. Are superior prime location. Expect to see high premiums kicking in early, way before completion.

awesome shots we've never seen before
taken from buhaleebah tower? the black one?

I don't know what the tower is called. I was with an Emirati friend who works in DIC - while he was "instructing" the construction workers' supervisor on what needs to be done (him without any authority whatsoever...LOL) and thus keeping them busy, I was taking pictures. :)

Glad that the Pearl development finally seems to kick off with the foundation of it seems - three towers beginning to start.

Emir of ketir , give me five :D your cool dude ;)

lol
anyway these are great shots.
but honestly i expected more construction in the pearl!!

New pictures of the complex??!!

you are asking too much questions stephan :D

if there are any new information available it will be posted here, so don't worry :)

no chance to get any updates until the cores are rising.

296 private Suiten und Apartments

Das Mövenpick Hotel & Residence Laguna Tower Dubai bietet auf insgesamt 40 Stockwerken sowohl 296 private Suiten und Apartments als auch 120 Hotelzimmer mit See- respektive Meer-Blick an und befindet sich innerhalb des Stadtteils Jumeirah.




Mit dem Mövenpick Hotel & Residence Laguna Tower entsteht bereits das achte Mövenpick Hotel innerhalb Dubais. /


In den Themen-Restaurants wird Gastronomie à la Mövenpick angeboten. Das Hotel verfügt zudem über ein Business-Center mit modernen Konferenz- und Banketträumlichkeiten, Fitness Center, Schwimmbad und Whirlpool sowie ein Parkhaus. Diverse Einzelhandelsgeschäfte runden das Angebot ab.
Erfolgreiche Partnerschaft

«Die Einführung des markengeschützten Hotel-Residenz Investitions-Programms für individuelle Eigentümer bekräftigt unser Vorhaben, für unterschiedliche Segmente des internationalen Marktes, erstklassige Hotel Bauprojekte anzubieten», sagt Werner Burger, Präsident & COO, IFA Hotels & Resorts. «Unsere kontinuierliche Strategie, mit starken Partnern zusammen zu arbeiten, widerspiegelt sich in unserer Allianz mit Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, welche höchste Standards in der Hotellerie garantiert.» «Die Zusammenarbeit mit IFA Hotels & Resorts bietet viel Zukunftspotenzial», erklärt Andreas Mattmüller, Senior Vice President Middle East Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts. «Mit dem Mövenpick Hotel & Residence Laguna Tower entsteht bereits das achte Mövenpick Hotel innerhalb Dubais und wir werden unseren Gästen und Investitionspartnern auch hier einen 5-Sterne Service mit höchstem Qualitätsstandard gewährleisten.»

this is indeed about the pearl. will be the 8th moevenpick in dubai.
nothing new.

it is called Moevenpick hotel & residence Laguna Tower.

maybe we should create a thread in the towers section as well now?

^^ Moevenpick Laguna Tower is on plot A2 in JLT (not in Dubai Pearl) and we already have a thread for it.

8 moevenpicks in dubai?

no! at least only 3 or 4 have been announced and 1 exists already

:lol: they said it is in jumeirah so i was convinced they are talking about dubai pearl :bash:

anyway the article says this will be the 8th moevenpick in dubai in total.

just a note by the side


some of the towers now come above ground, you can see steel bars coming up where the towers are supposed to be

cores should be clearly visible in like 1 or 2 months

Question: We purchased the 40th floor of this tower, it doesnt say which building its in (as the designs have changed obviously so I cannot pinpoint this.) however, it does say this.

Lot A4 -- can anyone point this out please.. thanks!

Well you should have looked into you investments better, actually i expected you to be a professional? :D :runaway:

you weren't given a name?
the 4 outer similar residential towers are called Dana, Mahara, Lulwa and Jumara... but i don't know about that number.

Hey guys,

is there nothing happening at the site? My pics from October show foundation works on two towers of The Pearl. Please, somebody have a look, maybe from the same tower (Bulabeee?) as I took my pics from? Cheers! EoK

how can you go there? Id go but what floor and where do you take pics from?

No actually, we did this one without hesitation blindly as we got it discounted quite a lot per apartment since it was the floor we purchased.anyone else have a plot map of this area?

there are masterplans in this thread here but i doubt they will be of assitance for you.

how can you go there? Id go but what floor and where do you take pics from?

We know some of the workers that are doing work in there, so they bring the elevator down for us as the key for it is only with one guy

amazing project :)

no further and bigger renders yet ?

:( i would have expected much more.

The area of the Dubai Pearl is huge. They could build 20 towers there.

^^ To accomodate the huge opera house

ha
i was right

3 towers are under c so far

moevenpick hotel and 2 res towers to the left and right

^^ Those "...2 residential towers on the left and right" are already 4 floors tall, but they are way to near to the road/bridge running around the project. Madness :nuts:

i thought so from the render , but not bad they are already that tall. can't wait for the rest.

well if you live below floor 20, enjoy the dust and dirt and noise of cars.

Awwwww Flo, you should get a job as Chief Hospitality Manager (Floors G-20)...I can just imagine your personal welcome to residents on key-handover day..."Hi....room 218. Welcome...enjoy the 24hrs/day noise of traffic and constant thin veil of dust inside your apartment. Have a nice stay."

indeed i want to do hospitality management programme :cheers:

Dubai Pearl Inc awards AED498 million contract to DCC for construction of two office towers

Dubai Pearl Inc announced today that it has signed a AED498 million (USD136 million) agreement with Dubai Contracting Company (DCC) to build the Omnix North and Omnix South Office Towers of Dubai Pearl.

http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/3/26823-dubaipearl.jpg
From left: Jamal Abu Issa, President of Dubai Pearl Inc., and Abdallah Yabroudi, Chairman of Dubai Contracting Company, signing the contract in Dubai.

Jamal Abu Issa, President of Dubai Pearl Inc, and Abdallah Yabroudi, Chairman of DCC, signed the agreement.

Scheduled for completion by mid-2008, the 55-storey office towers will be a key feature of the AED5.8 billion (US$1.6 billion) Dubai Pearl - a 10 million square foot 'self-contained community' that will take shape overlooking the base of The Palm Jumeirah. The office towers will rise to around 208 metres and establish Dubai Pearl as a prestigious business, residential and leisure destination in the GCC.

Describing the contract as a major step forward for the project, Abu Issa said: 'Dubai Pearl will incorporate the most sophisticated design technologies to offer a world-class office environment. It is important that we partner with the right contractors such as DCC who understand our requirements and can help us achieve our ambitious goals.'

'This contract win is a vote of confidence in DCC,' explained DCC Chairman Abdallah Yabroudi. 'Our association with this prestigious project underlines our leadership in the region's real estate industry.'

The total area of both office buildings exceeds 1.7million leasable square feet. The towers will take 23 months to finish and groundbreaking by Swissboring starts this month.

Overlooking The Palm Jumeirah and adjacent to the Dubai Media and Internet Cities and Knowledge Village, Dubai Pearl will be a novel mix of residential, commercial, retail and leisure developments designed to reflect Dubai's multicultural character.

Dubai Pearl will feature four deluxe hotels, three residential buildings, two office towers, a comprehensive retail space, an exhibition area for IT shows and conferences, an art gallery, and the 1,800-seat Royal Hall theatre.

^^ Piling has yet to start for those 2 though.

i wish they'd stuck to the original plans.. i hate the new box type designs

Agreed!!!

The new designs and the road ring around them, cheappened what would have been one of the most iconic projects in Dubai.

^^ totally agree.

indeed true, now with this massive interchange, and the new, cheaper, and obviously easier to build designs it will be just an average Media City project actually.

http://i6.tinypic.com/14xmr8i.jpg

should still look nice.

I find this one a bit weird...coz there's no symmetry in the circle. Seems likes a bunch or randomly placed towers in a circle to me. And also, seen as though no one seems to like nor want the Millennium Dome in London, would have been cheaper to dismantle it and ship it over piece by piece and use it as the Opera House in DP!!! Just a thought! :D

works for me :)

DCC wins Dubai Pearl tower contract
CONSTRUCTION UAE
23 Jun 2006

The local Dubai Contracting Company (DCC) has been awarded a AED 498 million ($136 million) contract to design and build two 55-storey towers at the Dubai Pearl development.

The 23-month contract covers the construction of two 208 metre-high office towers, known as Omnix North and Omnix South Office Towers, which together will offer about 160,000 square metres of over leasable area. Swissboring, part of Italy’s Trevi Group, is expected to begin work on the foundations package by the end of June.

Dubai Pearl Incorporated, part of Qatar’s Omnix International, is the client.

R

^^ to DESIGN?? :weird:

i thought they were already done and just waiting for construction to start...

work begins end of june.
so august maybe..

one of the slowest projects in Dubai.

anyway... 208 metre is quite nice.

From arabtec's website

Client Name: Omnix (Dubai Pearl Inc.)
Project Name: DUBAI PEARL - A1 TOWER
Duration: 26 months
Description: 161,000m2 of built-up area, 232m high, 46 typical hotel floors plus podium leisure facilities.

this is the hotel tower.

so one is 232, two off 208 and do we have the height for the res?

i can't find this info on their website
do you have a link?


this whole project is so strange

we see different companies involved all the time and it takes ages

^^ it is taken from arabtec's website as he said

developer is always the same, they only have different contractors for all their towers, which is pretty silly since one big package would be faster and more efficient.

^^ NO.

^^ YES! :weird:

developer is always Omnix!

I mean one big packagee for the entire complex doesn't necessary translates to "faster and more efficent"

i can't find this info on their website
do you have a link?

http://www.arabtecuae.com/arabtec/project_bycategory.asp?var_num=3&k=1&catid=5&pageid=6&Iscurrent=1&var_sort=

Go to page 3

I mean one big packagee for the entire complex doesn't necessary translates to "faster and more efficent"


explain please, sorry i am stupid altin.

^^ we know that :D

^^ why don't u explain it then, mr intelligentsupermoderator.

There might be many reasons.

Maybe the design of all towers aren't finalized yet, so they give the contract as they get finalised.

Maybe building 11 towers will be a stretch for a contractor, especially for those already involved in many other complexes (like Arabtec is), so either they will not be interested, or the developer doesn't want delays.

Maybe the developer doesn't have all the money to comit it all at once to a single contractor for the entire complex.

ok but that does not go in line with multiple contractors being more effiecent and faster, it is rather on the money and design side.
anyway, move on Dubai Pearl.. so slow.

what he meant to say was it's not necessary that a complex is faster than separate towers.. especially in Dubai where u never know what problem the developer might face... simple as that

Cool, new heights!!!

AED 803 million Jumana Tower and Dana Tower are on full work flow at Dubai Pearl

Dubai Pearl Inc announced today that construction works have begun on its AED 803 million (US$220 million) luxury residence buildings, Jumana and Dana Towers, with Arabtec Construction completing raft pouring activity this week.

http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/7/27387-RAFTFOUNDATION.jpg
On schedule, Arabtec completes pouring 10,000 M3 of concrete comprising the raft foundation of Jumana and Dana towers at Dubai Pearl

Scheduled for completion in 2nd quarter 2008, the two high-rises will be a key element of the Dubai Pearl development, located opposite the Palm Jumeirah. Arabtec Construction LLC, a leader in the region's construction business, is the main contractor in the AED 5.9 billion (US$1.6 billion) Dubai Pearl project - a self contained multi use development of more than 10 million square feet of built up area.

Jamal Abu Issa, President of Dubai Pearl Inc, said that both Jumana Tower and Dana Tower will be fashioned to the highest international standards of urban luxury and service, with the aim of establishing Dubai Pearl as a reputed business, residential and leisure destination.

'While offering exceptional breathtaking views of Dubai, Jumana Tower and Dana Tower celebrate the spirit of innovation and design that Dubai Pearl will soon be synonymous with. It will also change the landscape of the region's construction industry by offering the most sophisticated residential technologies and creative environment for our customers,' Abu Issa stated.

Both residential towers, Dana and Jumana, will exceed a total built up area of 1.7 million square feet and will together include 46 studio apartments, 644 one-bedroom apartments , 348 two-bedroom residences, and 44 three and four-bedroom residences. Abu Issa revealed that 87 percent of Dana Tower has already been sold to date.

Overlooking The Palm Jumeirah and adjacent to the Dubai Media and Internet Cities and Knowledge Village, Dubai Pearl will be a novel mix of residential, commercial, retail and leisure developments designed to reflect Dubai's multicultural character.

Dubai Pearl will feature four deluxe hotels, three residential buildings, two office towers, a comprehensive retail space, an exhibition area for IT shows and conferences, an art gallery, and the 1,800-seat Royal Hall theatre.
