The skyscraper, called the Al Salam Tower, will soar 57 storeys, reaching a height of 210 m. It is being built by the Armada Group.
A piling contract worth Dh5 million has been awarded to Zetas Company, whilst a concrete ready-mix contract, valued at Dh2 million, has been awarded to Star ReadyMix, a Sharjah-based firm.
“These two companies were chosen for their specific expertise,” says Armada chairman Dr Mohammed Raheef Hakmi. “Both are reputable companies with excellent records that meet the rigorous demands of such a massive construction endeavor as the Salam Tower.”
The tower will offer a built-up area of 800,000 sq ft with 284 flats, including twelve penthouse suites, overlooking the Al Khan lakes. Also included will be a five-storey covered parking and a meeting room on the ground floor that is equipped with the most modern audio-visual facilities. The mezzanine floor will house numerous office spaces. There will also be an entire floor for a state-of-the-art health club, with nursery and dedicated swimming pools for men and women.
The Salam Tower is expected to be the central landmark of the emirate and will welcome tenants as early as 2006.

The Armada Group is to build a 20-storey residential tower in Sharjah's Al Khan district costing USD27m. This follows the group's USD270m commitment to develop three apartment blocks at the Jumeirah Lake Towers in Dubai promoted by Nakheel, and the tallest tower in Sharjah, the 57-storey Al Salam tower.

Armada Group signs AED 124 million with Best Contracting for building of Salam Tower

The ground floor will have a cafeteria and a meeting room, equipped with the most modern audio-visual facilities. The mezzanine floor will hold numerous and varied office spaces. There will also be a state of the art health club, a nursery and dedicated male and female swimming pools.

Although construction has only just started, the Salam Tower will be ready to welcome tenants as soon as 2006, a date that clearly highlights the feverish intensity at which current construction is underway.

The other major construction project undertaken by the Armada Group is the building of the luxurious Armada Towers. The three Armada Towers are expected to house 1,200 apartments and the project will be located in the Jumeirah Lake Tower's development by Nakheel.

The Armada Towers project should reach completion and be ready to welcome tenants by the first half of 2007.

They're just starting construction, man that's a long time. Plus 32 months for such a tower is way long. Anyways, at least they're goin somewhere.

http://www.tp.spt.fi/~jukarkil/uae/uc_pics/salam_1403_4.gif
there seem to be other towers u/c also :)

We need someone living in Sharjah to provide updates, there's a lot going on there that we don't hear about in the press.

so i guess this will take 5 years to be complete, and thats pushing it,

its sharjah for god's sake

correct
the only one is "the sultan"
i'm sure there are dozens of towers missing
i have a feeling they will build an impressive skyline at the lagoon

To be quite honest, nothin significant changed with this tower, pics from months ago show just about the same thing. That's why it's takin 3 years.

It says estimated completion December 2005, no way, maybe December 2006 if they get goin.

Still U/C :ohno:

A very mild progress + NEW redesign ...
