Gulf General Investment unveils Dubai Marina tower

Gulf General Investment Co launched the 45-storey Horizon Tower for sale on a freehold basis yesterday.

The circular spire offering 164 residential units, has four-bedroom executive and four-bedroom duplex apartments.

It is situated in a prime location in Dubai Marina.

Its apartments offer panoramic floor-to-ceiling views of green parkland, marina life and the Gulf.

Planned after extensive research conducted among residents of existing residential high-rise developments, this tower has been purpose-designed to be family-oriented and people-friendly.

Established in 1973, Gulf General Investment is listed on the Dubai Financial Market and has interests in banking, shipping, oil trading, insurance, general trading and real estate.

The company’s operations in real estate span furnished apartments, urban development, warehousing and developing industrial areas.

It was responsible for the development of over 4,500 residential units in the UAE, Gulf countries and elsewhere.

Nice design on the roof, but i would like to see more clear colors on the facade.

now this is what i call a cool render
sa boy - can you add this to ss.com, i can also create you the perfect size ;)

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/503/11020Horizon_Tower.jpg

yes, awesome, looks way better than the white render we had before

added to ss.com

What a render!? It also shows exactly how close the buildings will be to the street and the how the the pavements will probably look!

Horizon Tower on sale today
The Horizon Tower in the Dubai Marina is on sale today with four-bedroom apartments starting from USD463,000, and completion slated for spring 2006. Architect is Arenco and contractor ANC. Agents are Al Khayat Real Estate and Dubai Real Estate.

http://www.ameinfo.com/news/Detailed/50704.html

I've seen it in the paper but since a week or so. Today i noticed that the 6th floor was compleated and already working on the 7th.

That is what I call "speed"

The concrete looks different on this one?

Woah! didn't notice that this tower had grown this much! :D Nice update! :)

Taken Jan 1, 2005

The concrete looks different on this one?

No, is just (heat) insulation applied over the concrete, before putting the glass patches (it is a all glass facade tower). However it's the first time I'm seeing this technique being used at such a early stage. maybe they intent to do the facade almost simultaniously.

They're working on 11th floor now. :eek:

1 floor per week
what's so unusual? :D :jk:

missed your photo of this one Wow
Love it
going to a land make cause of its diff shape and no huge podium

1 floor per week
what's so unusual? :D :jk:

Is actually faster then that.

No, is just (heat) insulation applied over the concrete, before putting the glass patches (it is a all glass facade tower). However it's the first time I'm seeing this technique being used at such a early stage. maybe they intent to do the facade almost simultaniously.

it looks almost metallic!

^ No it's not. I see that daily; and they are just adding the insulation at the same time and not waiting till the structure or big part of it, is compleated as usually happens.

This will be a full glass panel tower and that type of insulation is normall on such towers, just that they are aplying right away, like they can't really wait to put the (glass) panels in place.

OK guys, i have something for you to think about and to find out.
I am thinking of buying 4 Bedroom in Horizon Tower,
what can you tell me about how the sun runs, i prefer to have sun on my balcony in the afternoon and evening, so which apartment is the best for me , number 2 or 3? What do you think??

Horizon Tower Floor Plan (http://www.dre.ae/horizon_tower_3.php)

I think flat 2
imho Horizon Tower looks great on the outside, nice and cylindrical but I would hate an apartment that curved like that. It just wouldn't work for me.

i could speak german now, but... :D

first of all make sure which view you want to have. do you prefer marina view and (probale) sea view? by "probable" i mean sea view will very likely be blocked by jumeirah beach residence!! view map B!
if you want to overlook the other side you definitely see sheikh zayed road! but also jumeirah lake towers are just across the street but are at a nice distance, not too close and not too far away, maybe 300m!
it's also good to know on the right side there is no tall tower! just marina residence (17fl) and, cascades (17fl) and azure (5fl).
not sure what will be to the left side, but shouldn't be any tall tower.

4 bedroom units are mostly in the upper floors so there is absolutely no need to worry!
when you have an apartment in the upper floors overlooking the marina you'll have an awesome view, take this for granted!

if i were you i'd take an apartment overlooking the right side of the marina, direction to all the supertalls about 1000m away!!!!

http://www.tp.spt.fi/~jukarkil/uae/marina/marina_b009.gif

http://www.tp.spt.fi/~jukarkil/uae/marina/orig_sorted.gif

Welll i will take marina view for sure.
The qustion is only, flat two or three...so i will have unobstructured views in the apartment number 3, right side, as i think my apartment would be on 36th floor.
But my problem: Where runs the sun exactly? In which apartment do i have sun in the late afternoon, as i prefer.
Number 2 or 3? What do you think?

ok, sun will rise in the east, which means flat 3 will be flooded with light in the morning!
it the goes south and will shine on flat 4 and 1
flat 2 might never see the sun!

check the compass in the floor plan!!! when sun rises east you can see which apartment has daylight, sunset, sunrise views!

if you buy flat 3 (marina view to the right, this one i think has the best view) you'll have sunlight in the morning and early afternoon. in late afternoon you won't see the sun, you won't see it set either!

Hm ok...
So...i am not sure where is north honestly,...
Is it where "N" is on the circle or is it in the direction where the arrow shows to?
Well ok how you sad i will not have a view of the sunset of any balcony in those apartments?

well, the compass is crap
it can mean both actually
but if i think about it twice, north is where the arrow's peak is

so it's the other way round, damn

welll thats what i think. it must be like that.
Ok then i will have little sun from the side in the morning, nothing during the day, and a little bit in the afternoon perhaps when i buy apartment number 3,
When buying number two, i will have sun , let's say from 4pm till 6pm, at least a little bit i think...
Ok where to set my preference, sun or view...damn help me ... guys this sucks.
Or i buy Villa Number V2 in TimePlace , sun all day long, but only 125sqm , but own pool and terrace, but mure expensive... almost double....man... no that easy...

Ok found that...well now i am totally confused..is Horizon Tower perhaps not standing straight in gulf direction, and apartment number 3 is not right sided , but central??
what the fuck...

3 1/2 floors in more than a month... a bit slow compared to dubai standard !

Is that picture from SZR ? no i cannot be or? too close?

^No, it is from the toad passing just next to it. It is the same road that send you to Marina Phase 1 buildings and the Marina Walk.

Ah ok....
as i wondered already but that's it.
How close is SZR to this area?

SZR is 50 meters from the elevated podium where this road is. You can add also some 15 - 20 meters of two unidirectional roads (2 lanes each), as seen on the second picture.

Mhm ok...
what do you guys think..
will some of the buildings in the Marina have noise of SZR,
as far as i know there is a little wall on the left side of SZR, coming from Jebel Ali.
Don't forget that those are all low rises in this area.
Btw.
My agent told me that there have to be problems with Horizon Tower,
as there are only 20% of apts sold until now, it was released almost 2 weeks ago, and everybody waited for its release he said.
He supposes that the towers materials might be bad or SZR will cause noise in that area.
Prices of the apartments are very low, so this is not the problem.
It is a very exclusive tower, only 4 Bedroom apts..

Noice will be but that will be nothing compared with what the towers along SZR in Dubai, have to coup with.

I think the biggest problem is the fact that it has only 4 bedroom apartments but the location (not directly on the marina canal) should play a role as well.

Mhm well the only 4 bedroom might be a reason, but i do not thank the location, as there will not be a building in front of it, and the tower will have unobstructured views over the whole marina.
not sure what is the problem...

let's add this photo here too...

http://img155.exs.cx/img155/7928/indigo20050211b2tj.jpg

nice one...!
btw still 70% of apartments available...seems weird!

16th floor close to compleated, as for today Feb 25th.

model of the tower by MARKMYWORDS

http://img162.exs.cx/img162/9117/model103cd.jpg

awesome model.
btw what is the scale of those models?
and what is that on the bottom with the glass roof?

i like this tower:)

i'd say power supply, electronics, ac, cooling,...

but why a glass roof then...
do you know scale btw?
where is markmywords...he has to know??! maaaaarkmywooords...? ;)

Can anyone who has been to the site please advise whether noise from the SZR is likely to be a problem for people sitting in the landscaped garden area and using the pool of Horizon Tower.

if the road is busy you'll definitely have to enjoy the sound :D

szr is about 150m away from the marina, cutting dubai marina and jumeirah lake towers

my agent tol me it was not that bad because of the wall, but you will hear it.

expect you will hear a little but dont think it will to bad at all

double glazing in the appartments with insulsted cladding means very little or no noise in the appartments.
As for the pool deck ,on the website its actually on the front side (facing the marina) not at the rear facing SZR

but szr will be loud enough you will hear it however i guess..
but not in the apt , sa boy is right.

dont hear any thing UP tower 5 floors up
well just back ground noise and for sure not louder than the AC

23rd floor already and alot of glass on the faccade facing SZR :cheers:

23floors & glass on facade! I would like to see some photos of that :)

a shame, the developer website has info on the tower but doesn't update the construction progress site :(

www.dre.ae

and still more than 30% of apts available.
that is soo ... weird?!

23floors & glass on facade! I would like to see some photos of that :)

Wow the facade's looking really nice.

and this must be one of the fastes in dubai...

June 29

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/vtalibaba/da2ae0f5.jpg

its rising so fast and it looks even better with every single floor added...

This one should be topped out by fall and completed by early next year!

only 10 floors to go
what i realized is that they have already painted the walls and istalled ceiling lights in apartments which don't even have windows yet! how can that work?

no idea.
but they might have thought about that.
it is supposed to be finished in april.

today

http://tinypic.com/adyruo.jpg

I really like the metal railings on the balconies. It adds a nice touch to an already great-looking tower.

today

wow, it'll be scratching the 200m

http://tinypic.com/biwmfc.jpg

this one is/was the fastest tower in dubai!!anything can compete?

Very very nice. Can't wait to see the whole facade finished :cool:

yepp, two things the upper duplex apts are already UC so soon topped out and 2nd i cannot spot the balconies, they ought to be on the left and right, so they should be on the left of the tower in the above photo...!

Lovely reflective glass facade !!!

Wow, the marina is really getting dense.

today

http://tinypic.com/dxml2t.jpg

almost topped out. they are doing the duplex floors!

Looks great in that picture.
So almost topped out

^ TOPPED out:

http://tinypic.com/e6t3jl.jpg

(today)

more or less
helipda is missing
might push it another 10m

looks close to 200m

This one has reached the top - could see from MH - they're constructing the Helipad as you say DL. Kinda like a flattened mushroom on the top.

one of the best looking towers in dubai!

today

http://tinypic.com/easch2.jpg

nice! I like round towers!

Such a cool tower! The color of the class is really nice. Is the parkland next to the tower in a render just part of the render or will it really be there? And on a side note, will there be any large parks in the Marina?

that'a what we all want to know but i assume most plots will be built up...

This tower was lounched exactly one year ago.

This is how it looked on Jan 1st, 2005

http://filebox.vt.edu/users/sahmad/unkown333.JPG
(foto by Krazy)

... and now is topped out. This tower is definitely the fastest in Dubai.

it is.
it was for sale since mid of february, we wanted to buy there at first but the location is not thaaat great and apts have small balconies.
anyway this is the fastest, completion april 2006.
maybe they can even do it earlier, don't know abt interior.

Initially the building was known as Al Sari Tower 1. (Ref:PRJAE0400869/001)

I love the jungle park land around this building. Imagine the surprise when you moove in and see nothing but your neighbours washing hanging up in thier appartment

Updates. Not only from this one. I mean the complete marina.

calm down man, we had a complete round of updates 8 days ago, and it takes several hours to do that...

It takes double the time to prepare, upload and post the picture in the forum, then actually taking them.

mhm we would need a site with mass uploading and resizing at the same time...

http://tinypic.com/fbj807.jpg

one of my fav :)

looks amazing. wish it was taller.

Fantastic building!!!

I seem to be confused on who is the developer.

i'm not sure either, but i think it could be a real estate company called www.dre.ae

there is also a company called "Solution Zero Four" involved in this tower.

dubai real estate are just the realtors given the rights to sell its property. it might be 'Gulf General Investment' from all the reading up i have been doing about it.

You can see at http://www.ameinfo.com/50704.html
The Horizon Tower in the Dubai Marina is on sale today with four-bedroom apartments starting from USD463,000, and completion slated for spring 2006. Architect is Arenco and contractor ANC. Agents are Al Khayat Real Estate and Dubai Real Estate.

and how city cluster is marina looking now !

Very nice. It'd be cool if dubai lover could take a pic from the other side where there is more cladding done.

^^ Ok

http://tinypic.com/fxv3pt.jpg

they're removing the crane already!

^^ real beauty. best tower in this part of the marina.
and so cheap, good view, everything and nice 4bdrs. :eek:

love it :)

^ Didn't you rejected an apartment there becouse of the view but the price also?

the price was waaaay less than in the MS.
but because of the uncommon layout, the not sooo good location, and the small balcony we decided not to buy there.

Shame that there isnt greenery like the renderings. On other hand, i myself like dense urbanism, but it should be well planned with stylitsticly pure beatification and grennery, and good trafic. Hope they dont forget that.

They should make even smaller open spaces feel like big and fresh open areas ;).

Best way i can explain it.

same here
why should they start landscaping before the tower is completed?
it would certainly destroyed due to all the construction materials, dust and dirt


you won't find any green spot in the marina apart from marina phase 1 and the belvedere garden

it would be a waste of time and money to beautify this area at its current status!

you might laugh, bur from my point of view this tower is one of the most beautiful ones, really!!

why should be we laugh, i agree with you.
could have been a bit taller but it is really amazing.
especially since it is the tallest in this part of the marina.

This tower should have been above 200m.

Am I correct if I say that the apartments in this tower have no balconies? Not that I care but the thought of being able to go on the balcony is an absolute must for me... I once stayed in a hotel room near LA International airport where none of the windows would open and it made me claustrofobic.

nope you are WRONG ;)

they have, not that big but they have, facing southeast and northwest direction.
some 4m x 1,5m maybe.

these apts are among the most interesting layout of all apts in the marina.especially the duplex in the top floors.

OMG this deserves a thread in the urban photo contest...

can you give me the high res photo?

tower looks amazing, the sky, everything, background ... great work dennis!

love the cage! :)

Yup, amazing indeed. The composition is perfect, love the colours too

in the first pic by me you can see that they have almost completely pulled down the crane

the sunsets in dubai are very spectacular most of the time
i should have brought my tripod, but it can be fatal to leave your car on the jlt bypass road :D

Not a great building..the renderings are nice though. Dial up users beware, the images are huge.

OMG :eek: what a comeback these days, glad you are still fine and well and with us ...


Btw i think the tower is aaaamaaaazing wouldn't you say so, not only on the renders but even in reality.

also the apts are great.

btw, look at the vast green spaces and parks around this tower, and compare it to reality ;)

I just think the architecture is a bit too conventional. But we will have to wait and see how it looks in the midst of the clutter when it is complete.

is the top going to remain like that ? :weird:

great shot altin, look at the phase 1 in the back..
dubai marina.. i love you.

That road is going to be legendary when more scrapers and recreation areas are completed :D. I can imagine it in various racing videogames :D.

still one of my favourites... nice one :)

When you think this one is ready?? Is 2 months ok??

supposed to be april 2006, so 2 months should be ok.

Good use of telephoto zoom lense here! See how La Residencia Del Mar, Horizon and Saba tower all look close to each other. Nice shot AltinD!

Need more picture of The Jewels though. Have I said that before? Oh well!

And there is still availability! The 2 bedrooms are currently selling BELOW market value... Is this a sign of things to come?

Yes flo, the wind blew it off in the last thunderstorm. :-) No.. It will remain like this. Still like this tower ver much though and its position in the Marina is very nice. If you look on the marina map you can see the marina is ver wide at this point and no towers blocking views.

And there is still availability! The 2 bedrooms are currently selling BELOW market value... Is this a sign of things to come?

2 bedrooms? I thought they were all 4 beds and duplexes in this tower?

there are 4Bds selling for 440.000$ at the moment.

What's the currently status of this one?

^^ Outside completed, propably interiour work is going on, as well as on the podium.

supposed to be finished in april 2006.

so might be almost done.

Great, thx Flo

Completed?

yes should be.

not much delay, april 2006 is what they said, and handover took place june as far as i know.

interesting those apts (only 4Bdr and 4Bdr duplex) were incredibly cheap (below 2m Dhs) and were for sale almost until completion.

if the quality is good, which we don't know yet, this would have been an awesome investment.

To me it seamed compleated.

nice bling logo.

FYI: There are still 4 apartments available. They do not come cheap though!

Emporis is out of date. Can Anyone update it with all the complete tower we have. Altin maybe you or Dubai-Lover?? Please!!!

^^ since when is altin Emporis editor ;)


minime how much are they.. those 4bdr were rather cheap when launched, in the 2m Dhs range...

What we really need, is a section like in the u/c projects of Dubai.

Completion Thread for: Dubai Marina, SZR, JLT, Projects etc...

Then I think it's easier to find something. I'm thinking for the future btw.

amazing shot..

i love this one, and they still have apartments for sale?

i can't understand this, they are sooo cheap in comparison, nice layout, good view, big.

nice shot.. looks massive amongst the low rises

I hope anyone can find out the height when it open the doors!!

I'm guessing somewhere between 170-180m

Hope we can get it!

Finishing does not look too bad, but i don't like the kitchen fully tiled from floor to sealing. I suppose we have to remeber that every country has it's own way of doing thing and we alwyas try to compare to our home country.

All in all not bad

fabulous duplex! Thanks for the pictures!

awesome.

still available and cheap.. don't get that.

^^ could be that not too many people like floor plans with circular edges

^^ Don't understand how that could be an issue. If you never lived in a building with a circular floor plan. You can't really say.

Probably more like that the kitchen actually looks like a toilet....that puts me right off although if they cheap i could buy one and redesign it a little.

Height is 190m. Edit title!

Well here is the answer to the question what this building is. It a Hotel as we thought as it was never launched.

Islamic Hotel Branding & Muslim Hospitality

Newly built Tamani Hotel Marina in Dubai with premium Dubai marina and palm development view will be alcohol free, serve halal food and will donate a percentage of profits to recognized charities. Mr. Naseem Javed discusses the potential of this growing trend of 'Islamic' hotel products.

^^ wrong tower dude

Horizon Tower is a regular apartment tower. People joked about funky looking floorplans but this tower really turned out to be one of the better towers in DM.

^^ wrong tower dude

Easy mistake :nuts: similar shape so which tower is it ???

There are STILL apts for sale in this one..

... i don't like the kitchen fully tiled from floor to sealing.

... the kitchen actually looks like a toilet.....

I don't mind floor-to-ceiling tiles in the kitchen. I have them in my apoartment and I found it odd for a very short time and then never bothered. Also you have to consider that we're in Asia afterall and Asian cooking is fullk of oil and spices so a fully tiled wall it will be more hygenic and easier to maintain.

My only propblem is that the floor tiles are the same colour as the wall ones. They should have put the same floor tiles as the rest of the apartment (design-wise). Those are what I would change.

Maybe that half the problem. I don't mind the floor to ceiling wall tiles, but it is a little odd for a kitchen and same colour floor tiles do not help pictures.

They porbably never used same tiles as others becasue thos might be more slipery when wet.

alot of them on resale market ...(3,4bed(s))

That's whay I said "design-wise". ;)

Hey,
What are the apartments like? Anyones living in them?
Are there still apartments for sale and rent?

^^ Average quality but spacious, pool area is very good.

What I don't understand is why owners would agree to the current advertising banners pasted on the building.

I assume it pays well, maybe everyones maintenance for 1 year:dunno:

Horizon Tower

http://i36.tinypic.com/bf2hwy.jpg

I'm thinking about buying a resale in this building and would appreciate it if owners could answer a few questions for me:

1. What is the service charge, per square foot, and does it include or exclude aircon in the individual apartments?

2. How well is the building managed? How helpful is the concierge/reception etc?

3. What are the communal facilities like?

4. What is the mix of residents like - mainly owners, or tenants? Families, singles or sharers? Mix of nationalities and ages?


Many thanks.

I almost bought 2 years ago -it looks better from out than in :cheers:

If i had money now i'd buy in INFINITY but it's at least 1200 aed psf -sorry i don't have much info on the building thoigh

Thanks - I too nearly bought there, though this is when they were off-plan, maybe 2004. Seems to be one of the few projects finished on time. So are you saying the finishes are bad inside?
