This Huge project of like 50 towers make all our work and attention on SZR seem wasted! This just one of these towers is larger than the other tower projects that get their own threads.

Well this project will have 69 buildings in groups of 3 and one tall one on an island of its own in the middle :)

OH MY BUDDHA !!!!!

:eek2:

69 thats ever more than i thought !

:eek2:

staggering huge project! very funky designs too..

its huge shame as i over shadows every ting eles we are doing !

"indigo tower"
is new land mark tower that I am trying to find info on was in the 7 Days paper 25th June last week !

added the layout you can see the clusters and the landmark tower in the center !

The others in JLT are Dreams as well as wind tower 1 and 2 . You can drive on site and check out the sign boards as well as see the first basements that are being excavated. Its a huge site

I have read that this project will have 23 clusters of high rise buildings, and each has three towers with 35, 40 and 45 storeys.

Have any of the towers started construction yet? I wonder how many will be U/C at the same time? The scale of this development is just unprecidented anywhere in the world.

The best thing is they aren't all just nearly identical cheap looking blocks (like the residential mega projects in asia) but they are all fantastic, individual designs.

Dubai is turning into one giant skyscraper lovers theme park :-)

The basements have started and there are pleanty of piling rigs on site, they are all due to complete -all 69 of them within 3 years

wow glad to see you got all the names on your site and the like !
will have to add them here if that ok ?

no worries , its all info I have found from the different sites. Is there a model of JLT anywhere?

some says there was before
gotta go find it seema few photos in the newspapers around

me too and it looks wicked

Added some new photos up the top as well

look at that empty site hard to belive that there will be over 60 towers on that site with in a few years. Think about all the cranes that will crop up in the next few months !

added a longer list of all the towers that I know of think there are still heaps more missing as al the site have been sold and have towers preposed. Also the first cranes are up at the site and should be heaps happening here in next few months !

Where did you get those extra towers from??? you still need to make a copy of that disk for me so I can refference the new buildings I add to ss.com

i know you can come get it off me any time you like i have copy here or meet me on the road some where

Thursday afternoon could I collect it?

So if

All Plots for towers sold out according to the new
so that means we should not be far of getting all the tower names
and details ( as much is made public )

Jumeirah Lake Towers plots now ‘100 per cent sold out’
by Colin Foreman

Nakheel has announced that 100% of the tower plots have been sold at Jumeirah Lake Towers. Furthermore, construction work is well underway at the site, with the first developers laying foundations for towers on the plots they have acquired.
“We have seen a high demand for ambitious residential and commercial developments in Dubai and our projects have generated huge amounts of interest. Water is the unique theme behind Jumeirah Lake Towers. The entire project will be surrounded by lakes, waterways, waterfalls and breathtaking landscapes,” said Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, executive chairman, Nakheel. “Sea water will be pumped into the project’s waterways every day through underground pipes from the Arabian Gulf. This dynamic water-flow will ensure that the water does not become stagnant. Nakheel has once again redefined the concept of city living by providing a natural-feel to the area,” he added.
Plots on Jumeirah Lake Towers have been offered for purchase since last year. The project is open to investors of all nationalities regardless of whether they are residents of Dubai or not. The plots are purchased on the provision that each investor will construct a tower on each plot, to be used for residential, commercial or retail purposes. Each property developer will adhere to strict guidelines in order to maintain the theme and concept behind the project.
“ Jumeirah Lake Towers is the first series of high-rise waterfront commercial towers in Dubai. In addition to commercial towers, the project will also feature a number of residential towers. The project will be a convenient and fully-facilitated ultra-modern development with panoramic views and surroundings, making it the ideal place to live and work in the area,” said bin Sulayem.
Freehold
Each plot available has a land area of 33 m x 50 m and is offered to the investor with freehold ownership. Developers can select from three types of towers. The first will have 35 floors; the second 40 floors, and the third 45.
Overall, the development consists of 26 clusters, each with three towers. The Feature Islands within the waterways will have restaurants, with community events being held throughout the year. In addition, an impressive 55-storey tower will form the central attraction of the entire community and will house a hotel, a gold and diamond centre, which is managed by DMCC (Dubai Metals and Commodities Centre), and offices that will serve as the corporate headquarters for the entire project.
-----

Now if you read that last part does that mean the DMCC center will not happen if they have their offices in the JLT ?

makes sence to me, the Au tower and Al mas tower will be probably in the closest cluster to the DMCC manufacturing area

so guess the others will become never builts

in the process of linking these up to towers that have threads

so guess the others will become never builts

Or maybe they are the remaining towers that compleated the project.

more updates and links to first post of all towers with own threads

more changes to front page !

added the new madina tower to the list
dont forget to link it once it gets its own thread

Reef Real Estate launches Madina Tower

Gulf News

Dubai : The Reef Real Estate Investment Co has launch-ed the 34-storey residential Madina Tower in the Jumeirah Lakes area.

To be completed in 2006, it will offer one, two and three bedroom apartments.

Residents, non-residents and companies can buy apartments on a freehold basis, which entitles them to a residence visa. Leading banks and financial institutions will be extending home loans of up to 70 per cent.

Amenities in the Madina Tower include The Library Cafe, the Theatre Room with a 50-inch home theatre system for private screenings, presentations and special viewings and the Business IT Lounge which offers access to several computer stations and fully equipped Board Room for organising meetings.

In the floor above is the health club. The health club will have a central opening looking down into the terrace and swimming pool below, surrounded by saunas and spa activities, while the gym and exercise areas are located more onto the outside perimeter for maximum view of the city.

"Our objective behind the building of Madina Tower is to deliver to the market of free hold a distinctive product without any speculation for commercial purposes and to serve the unit owners in a personalised manner," said Shaikh Ahmad Mohammad Zayed Saqer Al Nahyan, managing director.

"We have KEO International Consultants as our architects, Samuel Creation as our Interior designers and Coral International for operating and managing the Health Club and Spa.

"Finally, we have achiev-ed the best design available in the market, with all the disclosed information about the finishing materials, with the highest quality and standard to serve people who look for prestige and tranquility."

Madina Tower will be marketed by property consultant Sherwoods.

"As a property consultancy, Sherwoods endeavour to select projects that offer both value and quality, our clients have come to expect this from us over the years.

"We are looking forward to the launch of Madina Tower on September 26 as we are already seeing interest from our clients that we have described the project too," said Mark Evans, sales manager at Sherwoods.

nice pics, but i myself would prefer an aerial pic of the whole area! anybody have one?

closest is teh one at start of thread taken from other side of freeway

is it possible to enter jlt without anybody stopping you taking pics and stuff?
if not, i'll go there in december, want to take some pics for you guys

i am got in with SA boy before with out a problem
he had a 4WD of course to get around
there was so much going on around there i guess no one notices
or they just think that we are involved with one of the projects

:lol:
hmm, 4 wheel drive a must??
we have e-class, i suppose not healthy for the car

:lol:

You need a Gelandewagen, possibly a Brabus tunned V12 TT :runaway:

:jk:

The towers are bit far from SZR, which gives a scence of reliefe more than the Marina

jumeirah lake towers will obviously expanded :) yippie

in the most recent releases of new towers we could read that jlt will comprise 78 towers, strange huh? isn't it?

ok check the newest jlt plot map
26x3=78, that means, plots x,y,z will be added and they give a damn on the dmcc manufacturing complex, which was planned for the right end of jlt!
for me this means i can do the map once more, grr ;)

http://www.globallakeview.com/images/plan.jpg

Dubai-Lover - Did you say that the entire JLT project will be done sometime between July-December 2007?

BTW, all you people living in Dubai, especially those of you with cameras, get off your lazy bums and post some pictures. It's not like you're wearing skirts or whatever and can't walk in construction sites or climb ladders. Rent a helicopter, we'll pay for it.

9more JLT towers, that's great! :)

yes, the whole project will be finished dec 2007
but who knows, let's say july 2008

right, getcha a**** up ;) :lol:

jumeirah lake towers now have their own homepage

www.jumeirahlaketowers.com

jan has found it, the site must be online for 2 weeks max

can someone change 69 towers to 78 towers?

i think they have changed it ages ago city of the future :)

due to the demand just added a few more sites

according to this pic the lake will be divided into two parts
or does that dmcc center tower (almas tower) divide the lake into 3parts
the lake is so small, like a wide road :(

maybe there should be another center tower below plot R2

http://www.tp.spt.fi/~jukarkil/uae/jlt.jpg
http://www.tp.spt.fi/~jukarkil/uae/jlt_high.jpg <- this is for you Dubai-Lover if you want to use this map in JLT overview thread, just resize it 200% or more :)

what are those gray stripes below tower plots, are they outdoor parking spaces? :tongue3:

Where do they get the water to this lake? Its going to be sea water?

i will try to make a new map with this map
the one i have started to work with doesn't include the x,y,z plots, so i'll have to do a new one anyway

it appears to me, the plots are more close to each other than in the previous map

Where do they get the water to this lake? Its going to be sea water?

yes, it will be circulated and de-salted sea-water. the whole development down there: jumeirah islands, jumeirah village, lake towers, marina, emirates living (meadows,springs,greens,..) is one watercycle! (correct word?)

Does it have to be de-salted? Why wouldnt pure seawater be ok?

maybe not de-salted in marina because it's connected directly to sea :)
I hope that they will connect all these lakes, otherwise the water would get dirty in couple of years :(

I hink they will keep it clean. My point was that it wont be very ecological. Best way would be if they build huge lagoon from the sea to the desert.

Maybe I'm dumb but why exactly wouldn't it be very ecological? Just curious :)

This is going to be a cracking project. I am told by professionals in the market who have been dealing with the Dubai Marina and Jumeria Lake Towers that the Lake Towers is going to end up as a better project than the Marina and many professionals working in Internet City and Media city are gonna be staying in the JLT.

did they tell you why they thought JLT would be better?

One reason they gave was that on the JLT your more likely guaranted a water view than the Marina as too many buildings blocking each other in marina. Marina they felt was more aimed at tourists where as Lake Towers aimed at professionals working in media city and internet city.

They didnt knock the marina at all its a good development but they felt Lake Towers will be better holiday home and easier to rent to residentials. Marina is already pretty busy with tourists its going to be a pretty busy place.

What is the view of the people living out there in the Jumeirah area ?

don't forget, one project is owned by emaar, the other by nakheel. you can imagine what they will tell you about the competitional project!!

the water of course is fresh. it's a 24/7 watercycle with de-salted water!

...speaking of these lakes, does anyone know how deep are they?

About 3 meters I think.

i suppose it's deeper, as there will be yachts and marinas
maybe 10 max

but there is no deep water access really as there are many low bridges so only a few unit have deep water access ?

Maybe I'm dumb but why exactly wouldn't it be very ecological? Just curious :)

Well if you handle it: clean, recycle etc. you need (a lot) enegrgy.
If you have lagoon and water comes and goes "naturally" straight from the sea, the you dont need to handle it.

look at what has happened to the dmcc site on the very left of pic
there now is a lake!

http://www.gigroup.net/images/mag214/location.gif

jumeirah properties investments will soon launch its second lake tower after indigo tower

the tower will be called indigo icon and is located on plot F3

that is strange

what is?

why strange?
i think it's good to know there still is something more :D
but yes, it's very unusual to say something like this

it's already one tower before halftime guys
we now have 38 towers already released
about 30 of them within the last 5 months! that's more than 1 per week

i'm looking forward to the second half

cant belive only half way

cant belive only half way

i totally feel the total opposite
you can't really enjoy as everything's going so fast now

I have a question, Lake at Jumeirah will be salt water or fresh?

will be circulating desalinated water
there will be one system for all these "lagoon & lake" projects inthis particular area

i meant so much has happened already that its just beyond what i can take in, ( and we are only half way)

I hear a rumour that in the middle of the lake that tall tower will be a seven star hotel ? Is this true ? If so JLT is going to attract alot of tourists then too.

well, the almas jlt central tower is built for the dmcc
i guess it mainly is office then with a few apartments

a shame there's no info about this one yet

I just heard from an agent that a seven star hotel has been approved in the JLT I was presuming it was that building in the center.

JLT, 14 or 78 towers approved
Nakheel has given approval to the concept designs of 14 out of 78 towers planned for the Jumeirah Lake Towers project opposite the Dubai Marina. Thus far 41 concept designs have been submitted by purchasers, said Chairman Sultan Ahmad bin Sulayem. The JLT overlooks a 2.5m sqft artificial lake.

so there might be a tower floodwave next week? :D

great to hear we have found almost 41 jlt towers
am excited which ones we failed to find and which are in the pipeline

Yeah, heard the news on Aqariyah today, excited to see all the new designs.

drove along this development, but couldn't see any new sign boards
a few towers already come out of ground

I would love to see a wide shot pic of this one! :)

very difficult indeed
need to go up on tower to overview the area, but which one?

Ok, maybe you can go up on la riveria tower?? :D that would be good or just a tower that is completed. :)

...im dying to see them

i odnt think is yet a good location to see these towers from

The elevated road on Dubai Marina and even Roundabout 5 on SZR offers, relatively good view.

Green Lakes, new JLT project

Asam Investments and Real Estate is now selling apartments in its Green Lakes complex, part of the Jumeirah Lakes district opposite the Dubai Marina. Green Lakes comprises three high-rise towers with one, two and three bedroom apartments, and mortgage finance available from Tamweel. Visit, www.greenlakesdxb.com.

until today we have 44 towers (+ almas tower) released for jlt
the very new ones included

the project will have 78 (+almas as landmark) towers! so we're in the second half of the game already and still 34 to be announced!

I hope they set more restricted rules in Design man i'm fed up with this crap !! they can do much better it's not all about the money the need to create a long term investment even in the shape of Dubai's Skyline !

don't you like the jlt towers?

^Finally someone else with the same feeling!

I think the JLT is pretty classy and will be better than the Marina at the end of the day.

I like the layout of JLT. I like the 3 tower grouping and the lake side location. I like AU and Almas Towers. I like the fact that it is well planned and mixed use. People can live where they work and stay off the SZR!!
I don't particularly like the latest offering. Green Lakes towers are pretty uninspiring, BUT not every tower should be iconic, I guess every development needs fillers.
Soennecken,

:runaway:

Yuck, Green Lakes looks really ugly - very uninspiring - concrete city, looks like a UK council flat

Do you think Jumeirah Lakes would be a tourist area (ie. rentals) - why would people prefer the Lakes over the Marina?

Mixed used may draw people JLT
remember Marina is just about all Res and Retail

Went to a presentaion by Nakheel... It's 79 towers, lots of plots of three and one big tower in the middle..have alook on the plot map too. It adds up to 79.

^ Of course it is. There are 26 clusters with 3 towers each, plus the Almas Tower as the centerpiece.

A question for construction experts . What are the parallel lines annotated with a question mark on the attached pic of JLT?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/seonnecken/Marina5crop.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/seonnecken/Marina5.jpg
if you would like me to post the pic without my scribble on it let me know :-)

great photo

i don't know what it is, it's located in front of clusters g,h and i and there is supposed to be water :dunno:

maybe this is a mchine with which they dig the hole for the lake?

i have officialy decided that i dont like this project :(

1]its not in jumeriah, so they should change the name.
2] its in the wrong place, it would have been much better to connect it to the sea like the marina, or to connect it to the marina or to the grandcanal.
3] its going to be a giant traffic jam, as if the marina wasnt bad enough.
4]Its useless.

well ill have to think of some more to truly justify my hate, but it shall be war :guns1:

i think the line which are visable on the picture are stored materials. im guessing they are the steel bars they use to reinforce the concrete and hold the building together. im not an expert though!

Neither are the Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina in Jumeirah for that matter. Check the Emaar website DM is described as being in the "heart of Jumeirah" !!

i would say the palm is right on the verge of being in jumeriah, and parts of it do touch jumeriah, which i take as being from just past the medinat to port rashid, on the coastal side of SZR.
i still like the marina though, it looks so nice from the air, despite being full of trash. So thats above being dissed. Why JLT as a name though?
hopefully someone will come up with a better one and change it like they did with the marina.

Eh? What was Marina's old name??

I think JLT complements Marina very well ..... 3 years from now this area is gonna be a skyscraper heaven when both sides of SZR are done! But your right raptor, I would prefer to live in Marina instead of JLT simply coz of the views - the water, the Palm.... probably Fattan Towers would have the best view... dont forget the Hydropolis is right there too!

Eh? What was Marina's old name??

Origanaly called westside creek, then westside marina, then dubai marina.

I've never liked JLT much, I get the impression it won't be as integrated as DMarina where people will meet at cafes and restaurants along the Marina. JLT doesn't seem to have as many (if any) common areas

you're wrong my friend!

jlt will have very beautiful gardens and boardwalks and promenades with cafés and shops! it will be at least as nice as dubai marina!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/seonnecken/Marina5.jpg
if you would like me to post the pic without my scribble on it let me know :-)
could you post a full sized photo, please :)

Dubai_Lover I remember you once saying Marina would be better than JLT so how come you are changing your mind now ?

This is a pretty hot topic alot of people have different views. Some say Marina will be better and others say JLT will be better. Lets just hope both projects are fab!

yes, that's right
it was at that time i didn't know the real dimensions and only a couple of towers have been launched

but now that we know all towers in jlt which have been launched yet and all of dubai marina as well, i changed my mind.

i love jlt, seems more structured and rganized to me.

although jlt towers are smaller than the supertalls in upper marina i think their design is better. more modern and futuristic in many cases.

the distance between towers is acceptable and views are not blocked like in dubai marina. even many marina towers won't have sea view!

i also like the fact that we know how far the development is. nothing can be added anymore after it is finsihed and we know how many towers are still to be launched. it is also easier to locate the jlt towers with this "3 buildings per cluster masterplan".
in dubai marina it's hard to locate towers in many cases

How big and wide is the lake dubai_lover. From the pics published by soennecken the JLT doesnt seem that wide at all or maybe its the angle where the picture has been taken from. Im just worried being on the 20th floor + you wont get much of a water view as there doesnt seem much of a gap in the tower opposite you. Maybe you can tell me more on this

yes, the lake will be very narrow
maybe from one side to the other it's 100m? not much more i think.

but it would also look stupid when towers were too far away from each other and the lake was 300m wide or even wider!

So basically the water view will not be that big ? Im just wondering how good a water view I will get on the 22nd floor on Goldcrest 1 left hand side lake view. I guess I might be lucky and get abit of a sea view as well

just watch the jlt masterplan and you'll see goldcrest 1 has unblocked views. there are 2 towers, v1 & v3 behind you on right side and left side. when you have a lake facing apartment or even left side or right side you will have free views.

oppsoite goldcrest on v2 there is t2, which will be a 35 floor tower, but hasn't been announed yet
it maybe is 100m across the lake

yes but W 1,2 and 3 will block the left hand side view direct. Have to look towards the right from balcony i guess.

Lake vs Marina.
Id go for the marina, as its a more interesting thing to live by, boats e.t.c going by, walking along side it, im sure it will have a better feel than the lake which just seems like a gardening feature more than an enviroment.

But, remember that the Jumeriah Lake maybe connected to the Arabian Canal which would open it up to boat traffic

for interest please find the attached pic of JLT North.
Perhaps Dazz could map it.
Would it be a good idea to move the other aerial shot which dazz mapped to this thread. It is currently in JBR under Tower Development.

Come summer and we will see all the towers starting to rise...

They are dismantling the wall one the sections around A and B cluster. I don't know if all the wall has to be removed or maybe they have some work to on that specific place.

The boards of the DMCC buildings (those never build), are comming DOWN too.

Great, now they need to build some roads so we can go in

altin do you mean these ugly brown dmcc walls at the border of jlt?

for whatever these have been built? :dunno:

^ Yes those, but as i said, that has happened only near the "A" and maybe "B" cluster aerea, and there was alot of digging going on, so maybe that part of the wall is down becouse they're doing some kind of infrasture work there.

I think the wall has existed since long before JLT was announced, correct me someone if im wrong. The wall will eventually go away.

Yes the wall was there before

Quick question: How many JLT's are going to be taller than the Burj Al Arab (321m)? So far I know of the Al Almas Tower..

We dont know yet, majority of the towers are yet to be announced.

there are height limits and floor limits set at 35, 40 and 45.
so almas tower will be the only supertall. i don't think any of these towers will break the 200, although there are runours 50 floor plots have been approved

I just got consturction weekly and it said that all the towers at JLT have a height limit of 140m except almas tower which is 350m

How can someone get the Cunstruction Weekly? Is there a site where to register?

yes, www.itp.net

but it's pretty expensive, even for gcc residents

enayway, a height limit of 140m is impossible. we have towers confirmed way above that! i know there are height limits, but there are 3! for the 35, 40 and 45 floor towers. i know from al waleed that the 35 floor towers have a limit at about 140m!

How much is it?

go here http://www.itp.net/subscriptions/ and click construction week in the right column

how long is this suscription?

can see the walls were the water will go between starting to form

can't wait until the lake becomes a lake actually and is filled with water...
missed that in marina development, though in Marina it happened slowly, as the water came from the sea directly...
When can we expect water in there? when towers are almost completed?

let's hope they fill it with water when everything is finished. they have made the mistake with the marina which is full of dirt and oil. a fully completed supersized lake just for the 6 phase 1 towers. was that necessary???

when you have a close look the jlt area is very small, maybe they use the free space for the lake in the middle as construction roads!!! it would guarantee easy and fast access to every cluster and plot!

^ They are doing the same on the trunk of Palm Jumeirah. The walls for the water canals in the trunk are already compleated, the the aerea is being used as road, till most of the constructions end.

When can we expect water in there? when towers are almost completed?

The Marina Canal was digged in stages. First they compleated and filled up with water the part that goes from the yaht club to where Grosvenor house is. This happened somewhere in late 2000, if well remember. Then they continued in two stages. I think the canal was compleated in 2002.

The elevated podium around the Phase 1 Marina and continues paralel with SZR, is actually the dug up material of the canal. There was no reclamation project back then where transfering the sand to.

i remember how this worked with the marina, but i think they started to fill it with water in 1999?! well not that important...

Mhm i am not sure if it would have been better not to fill the marina with water until everything is completed , let us say ... end of 2006, at least the main part will be ready then.
But of course it wouldn't have been developed that nice in the past 3 years...if no water were in the canal, the marina is not that attractive i think... ;)

wow
this even comes close to reality!
nice find

marina is far away from reality...but you can see Jumeirah islands, nice...

A lot of cranes, but not many towers rising. In half a year, things will dramatically change there.

Very good picture!!After basement will be quick come buildings.
How many free plots have in JLT yet ?

I think once JLT, Marina, Islands, E Hills, the Palm etc have finished prices in New Dubai will RISE VERY steeply.

that just a small percentage of the next six months
they are just being to scratch the surface

Soon, rents will hit Dhs90,000 for a studio apartment in New Dubai.

3 times the price i paided for mine ( athough it was old and in Bur Dubai )
Guess there are those huge diffs here as well
Still when i come back to dubai worried about what i will face

new model in nakheel's sales centre

http://tinypic.com/5kkghe

http://tinypic.com/5kkim0

I think it would look better if the towers weren't all of similar height.

If you see the model, on the plot M1 will be another Nakheel Tower, that they haven't officialy launched yet.

What about water ? When will be coming?

When all the tower bases are compleated and the towers are raising up, so I presume at least one year from now.

Water, not only can penetrate on the tower basements delaying and obstructing work, but also having water means restricted vehicles movement from/intoo and within the site.

They're doing the same with the Palm Jumeirah. The trunk has water channels, but they'll be filled only when the buildings will be almost ready.

the new tower on M1 looked very boring, maybe just because it was a model

almost all the towers have the same height in the model or at least they only differ a little bit, but this is definitely wrong
same about the design

the channel is currently used for construction traffic. everything is very dense and as all plots are under c simultaneously the channel is needed as a "street"

i hope nakheel will showcase a model of jlt with all the towers how they look in reality! that would be awesome!

ok, the time has come!
i now know why i dont like JLT!


1] they are building towers before having a lake/marina!
2] they are not linking their project to the sea = no boats = dead
3] they have simply copied the marina!
4] surely they could have chosen a diffent place for this 'lake'

ok, the time has come!

I think JLT will eventually be linked to the sea via the ARABIAN CANAL. ( maybe the Jumeriah Islands also)

Soen

I agree, in fact all the water side projects in Duba will run into major problems unless the water is kept moving all the time, otherwise the water will stagnate..i am thinking salt flats and mosquito breeding grounds..he..he
The canal will have to be fitted with turbines to keep the water moving 'coz the tide will not be strong enough to flush the canal and there is no river feeding into it. If JLT is an enclosed water mass the water will have to be filtered and circulated constantly to keep it clean and will have to be topped up daily to compensate for water loss thru evaporation.
So ya, they will all have to be connected to the open sea I think.

The water on Jumeirah Islands project behind JLT comes from the sea via a pumping station and if not wrong there are also substation that re-circulate the water for not stagnating.

It was posted here on Jumeirah Islands thread, if not wrong.

All Plots for towers sold out according to the new
so that means we should not be far of getting all the tower names
and details ( as much is made public )

Jumeirah Lake Towers plots now ‘100 per cent sold out’
by Colin Foreman

Nakheel has announced that 100% of the tower plots have been sold at Jumeirah Lake Towers. Furthermore, construction work is well underway at the site, with the first developers laying foundations for towers on the plots they have acquired.
“We have seen a high demand for ambitious residential and commercial developments in Dubai and our projects have generated huge amounts of interest. Water is the unique theme behind Jumeirah Lake Towers. The entire project will be surrounded by lakes, waterways, waterfalls and breathtaking landscapes,” said Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, executive chairman, Nakheel. “Sea water will be pumped into the project’s waterways every day through underground pipes from the Arabian Gulf. This dynamic water-flow will ensure that the water does not become stagnant. Nakheel has once again redefined the concept of city living by providing a natural-feel to the area,” he added.
Plots on Jumeirah Lake Towers have been offered for purchase since last year. The project is open to investors of all nationalities regardless of whether they are residents of Dubai or not. The plots are purchased on the provision that each investor will construct a tower on each plot, to be used for residential, commercial or retail purposes. Each property developer will adhere to strict guidelines in order to maintain the theme and concept behind the project.
“ Jumeirah Lake Towers is the first series of high-rise waterfront commercial towers in Dubai. In addition to commercial towers, the project will also feature a number of residential towers. The project will be a convenient and fully-facilitated ultra-modern development with panoramic views and surroundings, making it the ideal place to live and work in the area,” said bin Sulayem.
Freehold
Each plot available has a land area of 33 m x 50 m and is offered to the investor with freehold ownership. Developers can select from three types of towers. The first will have 35 floors; the second 40 floors, and the third 45.
Overall, the development consists of 26 clusters, each with three towers. The Feature Islands within the waterways will have restaurants, with community events being held throughout the year. In addition, an impressive 55-storey tower will form the central attraction of the entire community and will house a hotel, a gold and diamond centre, which is managed by DMCC (Dubai Metals and Commodities Centre), and offices that will serve as the corporate headquarters for the entire project.
-----

Now if you read that last part does that mean the DMCC center will not happen if they have their offices in the JLT ?

Was on the 2nd page of this thread

I like the idea of waterfalls, but sea water waterfalls often cause salt erosion on everything around them.

This was posted almosta year ago BTW. Just dug it up cos people were asking

cheers for that.

23 per cent water in the total area of Jumeirah Islands makes a one-of-a-kind real estate project globally
Jumeirah Islands, the first development in the world where man-made islands, created in the desert, are surrounded by seawater to form a natural beach-like environment, has a 23:77 water-to-land ratio, making it a one-of-a-kind real estate project ever made.

http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/7/9417-ji.jpg
A bridge at Jumeirah Islands

The ratio is said to be the highest in the world for a project of this scale.

Nakheel, developers of Jumeirah Islands, announced today that work for the lakes and canals was progressing as per schedule. Using cutting edge engineering technology, Nakheel has already completed the work of filling of the artificial lakes with seawater that is pumped in from the Gulf, using highly advanced pumping and water circulation techniques.

The underground pipeline, the main source of water for the path-breaking project comprising 46 clusters of islands spread across an area of 300 hectares, pumps 400 litres of water per second. Advanced technology ensures that fresh seawater is brought into the canals to control salinity. The canal water is flushed out by gravity back into the sea through a discharge chamber at the edge of the canal.

The extensive network of artificial lakes, canals and bridges is now ready, setting the stage for the full-scale development of the signature project. The landscaping in the common areas and around the villas is underway. Sixty per cent of the construction work on villas is complete and the first of the villas would be ready for occupation in May 2005.

'Being the first of its kind in the world, the Jumeirah Islands development had to be powered by technology that meets the particular needs and lifestyles of this pace-setting waterfront community,' said Sultan bin Sulayem, Chairman of Nakheel. 'We have used the world's best expertise to ensure that this exclusive enclave offers an out-of-this-world experience to its residents, with a focus on waterfront living that replicates the ambience associated with natural seawater.'

'Jumeirah Islands will stand out as one of the most distinguished waterfront real estate projects as it professes the highest water-to-land ratio in a development surrounded by dynamic water flows as compared to any other project in the world. Out of the total area of 300 hectares, 68 hectares, or nearly 23 per cent of the project is filled with water that flows constantly ensuring clean water around the clusters throughout,' added Bin Sulayem

Water circulation across the extensive network of lakes and canals is maintained through two huge pump stations. One of the pump stations transfers water at the rate of 2,000 litres per second from canal level 3.5 metres to canal level 11.0 metres. The other transfers water at the rate of 600 litres per second from canal level 3.0 metres to canal level 7.0 metres. All canals are lined using 1 mm high-density polyethylene (HDPE) liner.

'The pump stations maintain constant circulation in the canals and create waterfalls at designated locations. Further, a network of Gravity Transfer lines, Equaliser connections and Re-circulation pumps are incorporated into the system to ensure there are no dead pockets in the canals. This means there is no stagnant water at any of the places,' added Bin Sulayem.

Nakheel has also announced the completion of the District Cooling System at Jumeirah Islands. The system uses underground pipes to deliver high-quality cooling, offering lower power consumption to the residents.

Jumeirah Islands is an exotic, self-contained community of 50 man-made islands, located off Sheikh Zayed Road between Interchange No. 5 and 6, recreating a charming world of winding canals, cascading waterfalls, lush gardens, winding promenades and picturesque marinas.

Jumeirah Islands reflects the international influence in Dubai with distinct international architectural themes, which are portrayed in the designs of the villas. The islands are separated into clusters designed along European, Islamic, Mediterranean or Oasis themes. Each cluster comprises 16 individually styled four and five-bedroom villas. To add value to the residents' lifestyles, each villa comes with its own swimming pool and a garden area. Family and recreational activities and a selection of retail outlets are also provided to complete the picture of the ultimate waterfront community.

My apologies for not spotting this, once again Dubai & Co. have tought of everything.


This was posted almosta year ago BTW. Just dug it up cos people were asking

It would take a Corkman to spot that!!

imo these artifical lakes could be a problem in the future...
the water is standing still, could become dirty and bad, and again...the animals, insects,...whatever.
but i am sure they will solve that.

The third Nakheel tower?

http://img202.echo.cx/img202/6093/nakheel20tower5kh.jpg

Thanks to Chad

Isnt that just one of the proposals we have seen before?

I think so, but it also looks very similar to the model photographed by Dennis in Nakheel sales center, so this might be the final design.

more plots for JLT :)

if you look post 162 , there really seem to be new plots around Jumeirah Islands

http://www.tp.spt.fi/~jukarkil/uae/new_jlt.jpg

little bit squeezed though? :)
but only the 3 AA plots are new or?

http://www.tp.spt.fi/~jukarkil/uae/new_jlt.gif
new towers?

little bit squeezed though? :)
but only the 3 AA plots are new or?

5plots maybe? the plot where the sheffield tower is located is called AA3, so plots are named AA 1, AA 2, AA 3.... I guess

oh, if you meant sheffield tower & those 2unknown then yep, 3towers is in AA plots :)

My take:

New Dubai Gate 1
New Dubai Gate 2
Dubai Gate Tower
(DXB = Dubai)

???

Lake ICON Tower 1
Lake ICON Tower 2
(We have seen from different sources that there are 2 Icon Towers and they advertise them as having Jumeirah Islands views, so the descriptions feets exactly with the location, but they have a plot number for the Icon so it's not so clear as it first seamed ... )

hmmh, lake icon towers... hmmmh... when I now look that it clearly says Last Smoke Towers :D

hmmh, those indeed could be "New DXB something" ,but first letter of "something" seem to be C or E, hmmh, New DXB Crate , that doesn't make any sense :D

we already have dubai gate and new dubai gate?
at least i have heard of them...

btw actually it does not look like a G at the beginning of those dxb towers. but it must be...

yep, you can see the "Dubai Gate Tower" is already there, it's 11st tower if you count from bottom right

then there might be another one... or more.
they indeed built towers around JI. how stupid.

i was confused when i read 3aa on the sheffield website

damn, there are new plots
and again, nobody tells us about it

dazz - those you have marked read because you can't read it, are the lake shore towers
remember there are 5 lake shore towers


the one with the ? seems to be called VISTA .....

what do you think about the DXB...Gate?? towers?

there is a tower called lago vista i heard of. that might be the one on the map!!
so another one.

another lago vista
you sure, you're not mixing it up?

not the one in IMPZ. i assumed it was in JLT, could be the one you mentioned in post 192!

Here you go:

Thank you N70 :D

i can spot your finger! :D
yepp nice mobile. i want to get this one http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/6283.html
now but it is quite expensive and i bought my 6680 maybe 8 months ago...

well i am not even sure if these guys are totally right ...

sorry are these towers on the A plots called new dubai CRate??

vista delargo and new dubai gate
2 more to come

How many towers are not known at the moment?

approximately 25 are yet to be launched

When this will happen?

before end 2006 i would say.

approved:switzerland tower costDHS250 m saw it today on real estate channel,facade looks great. :eek2:

lol
switzerland tower
excited to see how it looks like!

:lol:

maybe the facade looks like the flag of switzerland ;)

switzerland tower
:hahaha::hahaha:

they won today, don't laugh :hahaha:

Can they build more than 78 towers on the JLT site ?

they can, there are extension towards JI site.

i wish they link both the Marina and JLT it would be fun touring Dubai with a yacht instead of a car :D

this could happen with the arabian canal, imagine, dubai waterfront around palm jebel ali, entering the arabian canal to JLT, short tower tour, out to the ocean, back in the marina and again tower tour, out to the open ocean again, short palm jumeirah tour, back to Business bay canal, heading to the creek, and leaving it for palm deira :D

If you see the plans, the Arabian Canal actually does that.

this could happen with the arabian canal, imagine, dubai waterfront around palm jebel ali, entering the arabian canal to JLT, short tower tour, out to the ocean, back in the marina and again tower tour, out to the open ocean again, short palm jumeirah tour, back to Business bay canal, heading to the creek, and leaving it for palm deira :D

... and then continuing to SHARJAH!!! :runaway:

:lol:

nope i think we will then jump to oman immediately :D

indeed yes
once the arabian canal is finished you can cruise with your yacht inland for miles
marina and jlt will be combined

JLT fronts up against JBR with 78 towers to be built by 2008

http://www.itp.net/pictures/features/98proj200.gif
Saba Tower 1: The first freehold office block under construction in Dubai, is currently the tallest building on the Jumeirah Lake Towers plot. A total of 78 high-rise towers on the development are due to be completed by 2008.
One of the most striking aspects of Dubai’s Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) is the sheer scale of construction activity.

Located between Interchanges Five and Six on the Sheikh Zayed Road, Nakheel’s JLT will eventually be home to 78 high-rise towers spread over 26 plots of land. Construction work is now underway on almost 80% of these plots, which has created significant site access challenges.

So when Arabian Construction Company (ACC) was awarded the construction of Saba Tower 1, along with Saba 2 and 3 twin-towers at JLT, careful planning and scheduling was needed.

The US $46.2 million (AED170 million) Saba Tower 1 is the first freehold office project in Dubai and is currently the tallest structure in JLT. The design is for three basement floors, plus ground, plus 36 storeys — construction has now reached floor number 30 out of the final 40.

The project is due for completion in March 2006 when it will be handed over to the client, Saba Real Estate.

Saba 2 and 3 are residential towers and are scheduled for completion in September 2006. They will also be 40 storeys-high incorporating four basements, a ground floor plus 35 storeys. Construction has reached floor number 12 on the core, and slab number three.

The height of all three towers will be 150 m, and the consultant and engineer on the project is RMJM. All the 78 towers in JLT need to be ready by 2008.

According to Mahir Al Chalabi, project manager at ACC, one of the main challenges faced so far is the tight duration of the project: “We’re completing three 40-storey buildings in 18 months, when normally this type of tower project would take [approximately] 22 months.”

Hassan Auji, general manager at ACC agrees: “It’s a tight schedule but we’re used to working under this kind of pressure. To get around it we’ve had to increase the working hours.”

The summer daytime working ban during July and August was an issue for the project: “The ban affected us a lot because we lost four hours a day during the lunchtime and this needed to be recovered,” said Auji. “While we observed the regulations fully, at the end of the day we still have a schedule to deliver so we had to adjust the programme to accommodate this stoppage.”

Another challenge is coordinating the construction work with the infrastructure work that is also taking place: “It can be difficult and requires coordination of the materials delivery,” he adds.

According to Auji, having a thorough procurement schedule
for the project is helping them to meet targets: “The procurement scheduling for materials began the day we signed the contract — from reinforcement and readymix concrete right through to waterproofing and formwork.

“Dealing with sub-contractors for procurement within the local market can be problematic because they’re so busy, especially when it comes to timber and cladding,” says Auji. “When you send out the tenders, half of them will decline. And if you do get a price, you wait in the queue.”

Another crucial factor is taking into account the lead times for internationally-sourced materials. For example, the marble used on Saba 1 was imported from Canada and Brazil, but was then sent to China for cutting and polishing before being delivered to the construction site in Dubai.

Scheduling is crucial to ensure the approval, availability and delivery of materials to JLT is all done on time. All this involves careful planning and coordinating with Nakheel, the authorities and the project management to ensure the process runs smoothly.

“A lot of details need to move in parallel,” says Auji, “which is not easy because the site is so congested with other contractors, developers and infrastructure [development].
But as long as we have an access, there’s no problem.”

The level of activity at JLT is certainly keeping the ACC team on their toes: “At one point on Saba 1 we had to move our site offices to inside the building to make way for a road that was being built straight through the site,” says Auji.

Climbing formwork from Doka is being used to accelerate the floor cycle on all three towers, which is currently standing at five days. “Now we’ve reached a certain height on Saba 1 we have been forced to upgrade our plant equipment and to change the craneage,” says Al Chalabi. Potain cranes with a placing boom are now being used to deliver the concrete.

Subsequent upgrades to Saba 1 meant ACC had to alter some of the methodology of construction: “The client wanted to increase the clearance height throughout the building from 2.5 m to 2.7 m — we had to change the methodology of construction from cast in-situ to post-tensioning to accommodate this change,” explains Auji. “It took some time to get approved by JAFZA (Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority), but we did it.

“Usually when we undertake a job the client asks us to do value engineering to reduce the price,” he continues. “But this client is making upgrades to improve the end-product such as changing the marble in the lobby in Saba 1 from 1 m high to the entire wall, which will double the price of the finish.”

According to Behrouz Javaheri, chairman, Saba Real Estate, quality is the watchword for all three Saba towers: “There’s a lot of talk in this town about some of the construction here using shoddy materials, so we’re creating something of exceptional quality.

“We’re using materials that you will hardly ever find in this market; most of the materials are manufactured in Europe and most are custom-made,” he adds.

From the doors (which are all custom-made in Germany), to the lighting fixtures, gypsums, marbles and Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware, Javaheri says the finishes on Saba 1 in particular will be of the highest standard: “Saba Tower 1 will be the first tower delivery in Jumeirah Lakes in 2006 so we’re using the opportunity to establish our name for the future,” he says.

As the three Saba towers edge towards their completion dates, the frenetic pace of activity on site shows no sign of letting up. “There are currently [approximately] 700 ACC employees working on the three tower projects; 1500 [including] the sub-contractors,” says Auji.

And their work at JLT doesn’t stop there: ACC is also working on the 72-storey Al Mas tower (the Diamond tower) in a joint venture with Taisei. The 26-month job is currently at the foundation stage. Once complete, the 365 m-high tower will become the tallest building in JLT.

Interesting article. saba tower should be a good project afterall.
and they learn it is all about quality.

Al Fajer Properties launches Jumeirah Business Center at the Lake Towers
6-Dec-2005

Al Fajer Properties launched the Jumeirah Business center at the Jumeirah Lake Towers at an investment of USD 135 million. Al Fajer Properties is a member of Al Fajer enterprises established in Dubai in 1965 by its Group President His Highness Sheikh Hasher Bin Makhtoum Al Makhtoum.
Jumeirah Business Center

This real estate development will be a freehold project consisting of two parts- Jumeirah Business Center 1& 2. The developer of the business centers is Nakheel, A Dubai based Real estate developer.

Jumeirah Business center 1, a 44 storey commercial tower and Business Center 2, a 40 story commercial tower will be hub of business activities when it is completed in 2008.

These mega commercial real estate projects in Dubai offer 75% finance through the Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank. Located at the Jumeirah Lake Towers, between the interchange 5 & 6 on Sheik Zayed Road there will be a grand atrium lobby extending up to 5 floors.

Hisham Al Gurg, CEO of the investment and Development arm of Al Fajer Properties said, It became clear to us that local demand from local, regional and international companies, wanting to establish a firm and lasting freehold commercial base in the regional business hub of Dubai had to be addressed. The first of the two towers that has been unveiled is already sold out.

two new JLT towers! well it's been a while already, waiting for renders :)

Largest chiller modules to reach Dubai soon

Staff Report


Dubai: Dubai will soon receive the world's largest chiller modules from the Stellar Group of the United States to create the largest district cooling system.

The first phase of the cooling system, worth more than Dh340 million, is being set up by Palm District Cooling at the Jumeirah Lake Towers project of leading property developer Nakheel.

The prominent engineering and construction firm is building three cooling plants of 35,000 tonnes, 28,000 tonnes and 42,000 tonnes capacity.

When the first phase of the project is completed in the middle of next year, the system will provide 140,000 tonnes of refrigeration to cool 69 high-rise towers being built at Jumeirah Lake Towers.

The first shipment of the modules has left the United States and will reach Dubai this month for immediate installation and operation.

Simultaneously, to bring the project on stream as soon as possible, the building shells to house the modules are being built on site.

Trevor S. Richter, director of business development at the Stellar Group, said: "We have established a permanent presence in the region via our regional office in Dubai and have a focused local team to deliver turnkey district cooling systems solutions like the Jumeirah Lake Towers project."

"The modular design is extremely energy-efficient and, in the case of Jumeirah Lake Towers, requires 40 per cent less space than traditionally designed systems," he said.

Keith Levers, Palm District Cooling's chief executive officer, said: "Excellent progress has been made in the district cooling system that is being constructed at the Jumeirah Lake Towers by our strategic partners, the Stellar Group, a world leader in its field."

"District cooling systems are a better alternative to the traditional cooling plants because of lower operating costs and benefits such as reduced energy wastage," he said.

The group behind Sky Garden in DIFC will release three comercial towers in JLT, by early next year. They have contacted a Japanese Architectural Firm for the design. On the Property Weekly they say they'll have 60 floors each??? Unless they will be on the extra plots where are the Shefield Office Tower and Lake Shore 1 & 2, no way they will be that tall.

a new JLT tower?

the design for this tower is pretty nice
i'm sure this will go through
where is the sense in putting never builts on a brand new website!?

Check out this masterplan. A new section in the bottom left?

mhm weird, we knew of this other extension but this one is new.

well
it is more or less knew but we've already seen it in other masterplans

eg: sheffield tower will be in there

^ Lake Shore 1 & 2, The Icon 2 ...

The tower on the reply 226 by DAZZ, might be the redesigned Flamengo tower. It has some resemblances and if you see the masterplan, they are actually showing the location of that tower (see the watermark)

I don't know if this is new, but I count 94 plots for towers there.

79 + 3 + 12 in the small circled extension left bottom. nothing new there.
we could change thread title and forum name actually.

News on cluster Z:

Swissboring digs in at cluster Z and DIFC
CONSTRUCTION UAE
16 Dec 2005

Swissboring, part of Italy’s Trevi Group, has been awarded the piling, shoring, excavation and dewatering package for three towers on cluster Z at Jumeirah Lake Towers. The local Asteco Development Management is the project manager, and the local Architecture Engineering Innovations Bureau (AEIB) is the consultant. The client is the local Seven Tides Development. Swissboring has also been selected by the local/Australian Nasa Multiplex to carry out the foundations for the 79-storey Index Tower project, also known as One Central Park, in DIFC. Nasa Multiplex was awarded a guaranteed maximum price contract for the project in November (MEED 18:11:05).

So now we know for sure that the Thai Hotel's group triplet, will be on Z cluster.

bingo! :D

we need a new plot map in the thread.

From car parks to shopping malls to airports, the technology of flooring reaches far beyond our expectations
In a sky scraper-dominated city such as Dubai it is customary to looks upwards to gauge the level of construction activity. But activity down at floor level also appears to be gathering pace.

Al Gurg Fosroc, the Dubai-based joint venture between HE Easa Saleh Al Gurg and Fosroc, is currently undertaking one of the largest flooring projects in the Gulf region, by providing trafficable floor coating for 23 car park buildings at Jumeirah Lake Towers.

When completed, the car park area will spread over 700 000 m2 and will accommodate more than 20 000 cars.
According to Philip Munro, vice president (Gulf States), Al Gurg Fosroc, there are numerous considerations when providing flooring for these types of traffic situations.

“We mostly use epoxy systems for these type of floorings, but polyurethanes are considered where elastomeric properties are crucial,” he says. “The Jumeirah Lake Towers project incorporates a variety of floor finishes because of the variety of uses required.

“The floors have been designed to be suitable for their specific uses i.e. parking bays and driveways have different considerations than ramps and rooftops.

Similarly, external areas will require special flooring design considerations when compared to internal areas, due to exposure to the sun,” he adds.

According to Grant Adamson, technical director for Flowcrete International, one of the major problems facing building owners and facility operators is damage to the structure of multi-storey car park buildings caused by water and salt ingress, especially in the hot, humid and saline conditions in the Gulf region.

“Car parks are particularly prone to this kind of damage, and in multi-storey structures, where the decks are subject to movement, a rigid flooring finish such as concrete or epoxy will crack,” he says.

“As well as looking unattractive, cracks in concrete floor surfaces add further risks when the reinforcing steel is exposed to corrosion as a result of the water and salt ingress. With a waterproof, crack-bridging, flexible polyurethane system like Deckshield, these problems are eradicated.”

At Dubai Festival City, Flowcrete is supplying a total of 350 000 m2 of its K-Screed system for the retail areas. Work has already begun on the first phase, comprising an area of almost 100 000 m2.

“Unlike conventional sand and cement substrates, K-Screed offers a high compressive strength and low water-cement ratio, which minimises shrinkage and cracking,” says Sirwani.

He says that the product also offers quick drying times and provides a smooth, durable surface as a base for the final selected floor finish i.e. epoxy resin, fitted carpet, wood, tiles or vinyl.

Other recent flooring contracts undertaken by Flowcrete in the region include the Function Stage at Zabeel Park, which has been installed with a seamless, decorative epoxy terrazzo known as Mondeco Exotic. The system is durable, easy to clean and enables designers and architects to incorporate intricate multi-colour designs into the flooring.

Interior flooring is also big business in the region as more of the UAE’s high-rise tower blocks and residential projects come on line. Dubai-based Ofis (Office Furniture Interior Solutions) — the furniture, flooring and interior business of Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group — recently launched Interface’s range of modular random carpets for the UAE market.

The region’s variety of construction activity means a range of flooring solutions is needed, from carpets and wood for residential and office developments, to chemical-resistant epoxy resins suitable for industrial applications.

The harsh climate of the Gulf also provides a challenge to the manufacturers of specialist outdoor flooring products, whose materials need to be robust enough to withstand the hot, humid and saline conditions in the region.

In addition to delivering long-term technical performance, other criteria include ease of maintenance and pleasing aesthetics.

long live flooring! :cheers:

Info on cluster X:

Bel Hasa is JLT X-men
CONSTRUCTION UAE
6 Jan 2006

The local Bel Hasa Engineering & Contracting has been awarded the estimated AED 480 million ($131 million) main construction package for three towers on cluster X at Jumeirah Lake Towers.

The 23-month contract calls for the construction of two 39-storey residential towers and one 45-storey office tower. The cluster is located at the northeastern end of the development, close to Emirates Golf Club and the fifth interchange on Shaikh Zayed highway.

The local Dutch Foundations has completed the foundations works as a separate package. The consultant is the local National Engineering Bureau (NEB) and the project manager is the US’ Morganti. First Gulf Bank is the client. The local Nakheel is the master developer for Jumeirah Lake Towers. The 1.1 million-square-metre project involves the construction of 79 towers and a 250,000-square-metre man-made lake (MEED 28:10:06).

Krazy that is an excellent picture, who did it?

Any picture from a different angle? Maybe even aerial shot?

Great pic by the way!

Yeap great pic - JLT seems way behind construction no sign of any water. Also JLT looks alot more narrow than the marina.
