--

I drove past a new project sign board behind the Le reve tower and its for a new massive tower.
4B+G+M+Health Club+3 Service+58 resdiential floors, so its gonna be the biggest in the marina by the looks of things.
So that is 4 basement +Ground and 63 stories
Can someone take some pics of the sign board

I'll try and run out there with my bike so i can take a few pics, (i thought there already was a tower behing le Reve)

Its behind from beach road ie turn Left after Le Reve as if you are going to Marina 1 towers and its on the left hand side. If you are these could you get a pic of the 2 smallerst towers in the marina 1 development ( the only finnished complex there).
Many Thanks
SAB

sounds great by the look of it cant wait

Its a nice looking tower, very regal in design, should be a beaut

more than 60 floors. so it will be about 250 or even more! please post pic asap! :)

took a few pics of the boarding. this tower is MASSIVE! its got height and density which is something Dubai needs

http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4285915657

id say that this one ranges from 270-300 meters in height its got a spire plus over 60 floors

thanks for the pics! looks really great. not too thin just like other buildings!!!

looks quite tall, hopefully 300!!!

city of the future, can I use your pics on ss.com. If so please PM me with your full name so that I can copyright you with the pics

we need some closer pics of the render only so that it can be added to ss.com. Next time someone goes past there it would be much appreciated.
ta

that looks like a huge tower, btw SA BOY, are you responsible for updating the gulf area's skyscrapers in ss.com?

i made a quick edit to the top hope no one minds so this can become an offical thread !
Will the tower be that tall ? its only 60F. I could not be much taller than Al Masra tower. If so it will be one of the tallest res towers in the world !

Its gonna be big, Ill try to contact the architects to see if they have a height. I am also trying to contact the architects for Al marsa and Al Rostamani towers too.

Trances, I get 66 stories plus G plus 4 Basement??

Do you count service floors ?
I always count usable floors such as Lobby as one Mezzine as one then each Res floor and the Health Club. Not sure about hte above ground parking with in the main body of the tower hmm
58 Res
4 Parking
1 Lobby
1 Health Club
64 then I guess ? IF you aggree I will change the name

on ss.com ground floor does not count as a floor but mezzanine and service floor count in the building not at the top.

so its 66 + G then
Well if we going go down that route means many of my other floors counts are wrong as for example many poster dont show the serive floors so we cant count them !

I know, for example in Park Place there are 2 service floors in the tower body which have been counted cos the lift will pass them and count them as floor however the 4 at the top of the tower have no lift access and are only accessable by maintenance stairs. The definasion is a service floor in the body of the building is counted as afloor but at the crown it not. Im sure that many of Dubais buildings have more floors than noted due to this fact.

cool then 66 + g it is
looking forward to knowing its height !

Another tall?!!?..No way!! :eek:

yer I know seem like it may be a new centerpoint with the height.
Quite glad there will be mix in this area of towers between 8 and almost 70 Floors ! Then with JBR in front and JLT behind will be great view fromthe top
Shame no public decks any where will be a far more impressive city that around the Burj Dubai

SA boy i notice that you posted these images on http://www.emporis.com
under my name they belong to city of the future
I just edited them and posted the full size links here they still belong to " city of the future"

very sorry guys Ill change them now, I thought they were yours trances.

Googled "marina pinnacle" and guess what I found.....Unknown 66-storey tower!
http://www.newskys.co.uk/properties_in_united_arab_emirates/dubai/66903/property-details.html

http://www.newskys.co.uk/property_images/66903_1.jpg

one question:
somehow i have the impression it's our 66 floor unnamed residential tower
what scares me is the name "tiger contracting" whcih also works on the 66 floor unnamed tower!

it maybe is the same and finally has got his name

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/11020Marina_Pinnacle.jpg

This tower is 260 meters as mentoned in todays gulf news article , and they did mention also that this tiger company has plans to build 10 more towers over a period of ten years

Marina Pinnacle residential apartments sale underway

Dubai: Sales of residential units in the tallest tower in the Dubai Marina development, the 260-metre Marina Pinnacle, have started.

The promoters, Tiger Real Estate, have established a price of Dh750 per square foot.

The tower will have 61 residential floors and four floors for parking.

"This is the first project in Dubai Marina being built and marketed by Tiger," said Steven Corbelli, Tiger Real Estate's sales manager.

"We have looked at the rates offered by other developers within Dubai Marina, and believe our rate is quite competitive.

"It is our plan to have about 10 residential freehold developments over the next three years," he said.

In response to a question about whether the company will look at developing commercial space, of which there is a marked shortfall in the local market, he said: "We would certainly consider it."

Work on the Marina Pinnacle has started, with completion set for late 2007.

The company is part of the Sharjah-headquartered Tiger Group, which also owns Tiger Contracting one of the bigger players within its industry.

The group was set up in 1976 by Shaikh Rashid Al Qasimi and Waleed Mohammad.

Meanwhile, Better Homes has been appointed the exclusive marketing and sales agent for the Marina Pinnacle.

"We are pleased to be associated with the sale of another icon building in the Dubai Marina development," said Walter Hart, project consultant at Better Homes.

that's proof enough marina pinnacle is the unnamed 66 floor!!!!

it's the first project by tiger!! will rename thread and merge these two!

nice guys another unnamed bites the dust

Judging by the model in the background of the picture on ameinfo, that the tower has been redesigned, tho.

Tall but nothing special as far as design is concearn.

I have 67 floors which is 4B dont count +G+4 parking+HC+58 res levels and 3 service floors.

you're right
i guess they just counted the 58 res floors and 3 service floors

couldnt they think of their own name!

Just a small note, names of dubai's towers are very repetitive, they really need to think more innovatively.

^ Is not necessary that Pinnacle will indeed be the name of the tower. Until tower is compleated nothing is for sure:

Al Mankhool Towers = Manazel
Al Salam Tower = Chelsea Tower

BTW why on the render they say "... over 70 floors of ... apartments"???

http://www.newskys.co.uk/property_images/66903_1.jpg

I counted, it's 67 floors lah?? :?

Just arrived in Dubai - in today's newspaper it said that this was 260m tall

1,2 and 3 bed apartments ... all selling at 750dhs per square foot.

The advert did say 'over 70 floors of residential apartments' however the article on the following page contradicted it.

The article also said this is the tallest tower confirmed in the Marina so far?!?

well it says the tallest in the area how can that be correct ?

just marketing and ignorance

Just a small note, names of dubai's towers are very repetitive, they really need to think more innovatively.

i agree with you they need to give them selves abreak to think about creative names

btw ameinfo says it was announced that it will cost around 800m

how about " that tall one over yonder" as a new name?

Yeah, also on Aqariya tv they said it'll cost AED 800m (USD 218m).

Developers in the area say this is going to be 58 floors ... i guess that doesn't include the base

I also counted 58 floors on the big render (1 full page) on yesterday's Gulf News

latest construction week has it at 71 stories and 280m. maybe a height increase but no updated renders yet?

If the Al Ameera is anything to go by, they announce the height before they've even tested the ground ...

280? wow

lately there has been many news confusing us

Does anybody know if a tower is to be built immediately behind Marina Pinnacle. I know it has a tower either side (La Reve being one) but what is planned behind it?

there will be towers
the only one we know is mag 218 with 55 floors, opposite marina heights
all of them are under construction, but fenced in completely and no signboards for at least 4 towers
there will also be the shopping mall between mag 218 and marina pinnacle
check the marina map by dazz in sticky thread

latest construction week has it at 71 stories and 280m. maybe a height increase but no updated renders yet?

Maybe it's 260m to the roof and 280m to the top of the spire.

Site overview: Nothing hapening exept digging up a meter or so.

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid157/p9739d036edfe5cbd09f525c9425a4fc7/f537a74d.jpg

that picture shows the distance between the towers perfectly with Marina Heights and Al Seef in background...
will look much more closer on the road side in front of the Marina...

That isn't the Marina Heights in the background of the picture ... you'd have to turn over 90 degrees right to see the Marina Heights.

Sure?
which one is that ... ?

shatha tower in media city

ah ok i see...
the angle was little bit confusing...could have been the Marina Heights actually...
but now i see that its too tall already...

DUBAI — Dubai Municipality has recently issued the licence to construct a 66-storey building in Dubai Marina at a cost of Dh240 million.

Khalid Mohammed Saleh, Head of the Building Licences Section at the Building and Housing Department of the municipality, said the proposed tower would house residential apartments and commercial shops.

The building will have four basements, ground floor and 66 upper storeys. The total built-up area will be more than 1.3 million square feet while the plot area is over 36,000 square feet. The tower would have 850 one-bedroom apartments and 232 two-bedroom apartments.

Nice one Dazz!

its really interesting how the towers are shifted over to one side of the base - this must be to allow light, views, etc. for people in the surrounding area.

very nice lol thought the base i believe is a garage if u look carefully u see a red car coming out so it should supposedly be a garage.

nice...but the color looks completely different from the render.perhaps it is the light in the hall...

Better render (can use for emporis)

Does anyone know, if theres anything that will block the views of apartments btw 20-25th floor.....with marina view/partial sea, n the MARINA PINNACLE tower.
ty

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

just look at the map by dazz.
between the marina and marina pinnacle there is a free plot which might be occupied one time.
but we're not sure if it will be a tower, as there was some piling work according to sa-boy but now there is no construction etv visible on that certain plot.

we seem to be missing 4 towers that surround that cross shaped grassed area. We have al seef /marina pinnacle/mag and 23 marina on the 4 corners but then there are 4 towers we dont know about.
Deffinatly the tallest block on earth

there's no proof that towers will be built there. but you are right there is space and perhaps we will see some new towers being approved in a few weeks..
and we don't know exactly about the shopping mall..

Is the new tower The Torch going to block marina views for Pinnacle???

yes it will
it's just across the street
you will be able to see the marina on the left side though

Sad.
What would they say to the poeple who have paid to have full marina views.
What are the three buildings on the left side of Pinnacle then? :|

My advice would be to get information on the towers actually being built ... they tend to get shorter by the time they start construction work!!

Everyone will have views of some description, Emaar control it ...

somebody buying in marina pinnacle on 10th floor won't have a good sea view i guess though...

things are really going on here

for me it's been long enough at this stage
flo, it was already like that when you arrived here, right?

so, we can say, not too much happened for 2 months
except they spent several weeks on building a huge steel fence around the site!

yeah they were doing the fence, and there was a excavator inside the whole when i arrived...i think it is gone now?

yeah they were doing the fence, and there was a excavator inside the whole when i arrived...i think it is gone now?

nothing inside!

just fill this one with water and i'll jump into it from le reve's roof :D

you will be dead if you do this, so are you sure?

The roof of Le reve is not that high, "just" 210 meters.

altin says you can do it.
he is reliable.
jump. d-l. jump.

^ I just said is not that high, I didn't mention anything about people jumping. Please ...

:D

It seams the developer has heard voices about a very tall guy going around trying taking picture of their site, so they had increased the height of the boards around the site: is 2.5 times higher now (seriously) :eek:

lol!!! :D
how funny, the boards must be 6m now , can you take a photo?

It blocks even more then half of the signboard. I didin't took a picture though.

at least here is sth happening.

WELL atleast now we know its going to have eunder ground parking :D

how?

look how deept thatis
not normal for dubai

According to the cityscape day 3 pdf this has 71 floors:

Tiger Real Estate first
The luxury, residential Marina
Pinnacle tower is Tiger Real Estate’s
first project in Dubai.
At 71-stories the tower houses
1, 2, and 3-bedroom residences
and, from its position between
Dubai Marina and Media City,
boasts views of the Gulf, Jumeira
Palm and Dubai Marina. Facilities
include four swimming pools – two
indoor and two outdoor – health
and leisure facilities, games and
function room, business centre and
more. The tower is due for
completion in 2007.
Sharjah-based Tiger Real Estate,
described as the ‘fresh face’ of the
almost 30-year-old Tiger Group, is
also planning two new projects in
Sharjah, by the sea.

[QUOTE=dubaiflo]How?[/eQUOTE]

Well look at the shoring system they have used , its clearly a dyaphragm wall supported with anchors drilled into it and embeded into the soil on the other side

And dyaphragm walls are rarely used coz it is the most expensive shoring system , and 99% of the time , it is used if underground parking or basement is to take place

that would explain the 3B+G and not more.
i see. thanks.

new signboard there
4b + 67 res floors
basement doesn't count

http://tinypic.com/dxmhsp.jpg

The height must be impressive.:cool:

I never liked this tower.

dull boxy looking

today

http://tinypic.com/fuw3zk.jpg

not my fav.. but still acceptable

Yeh, The great hight result just keeping me awake for this one...:D

67f plus G+Mezz (probably) +All mech floors

great stuff, ive noticed with bldgs in Dubai, the excavations have concrete shells as preimtere walls. is that beacuse of low height above sea level?

^ Or maybe because they are built into soft, unstable soil. Don't know though.

Both i guess, as dewatering is also a factor

today

http://tinypic.com/i3urr9.jpg

Still

they removed to sand hill, ready for piling?

this pile driver was doing its work today though
just takes a long time

Let me be one of the first to reach out a friendly hand to the future residents of the Marina Pinnacle. In your honor I've posted an intro to the tower at the Dubai Marina Communities (http://marinacomm.blogspot.com/2005/12/marina-pinnacle.html) website. Day by day I will add towers in the neighborhood to this community listing.

today

http://tinypic.com/k4beza.jpg

piling underway?

this one is also going ahead very slowly
you can see a few piles on the left side of the hole, though it takes them ages to finish the job

What happened to all the workers when the rain came down! :ohno:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Upandhi/IMG_1389c2.jpg

They hid from the rain, then when the big wind stopped they all came out and collected the construction stuff that had blown all over the roads! Fences, banners, road cones, plastic netting - rubbish everywhere all over Dubai Marina.

it's so slow, one of the slowest in fact
there is a hole since more than 1 year and they still didn't complete the piling even though there are always people working!

I wanna see this one comming up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW gowealthy website says 71 storeys

OK. Last update is 6 weeks ago. Please D-L go for a trip to Dubai and stay there for your life :):):):):):):):):)

Has anyone got a more recent photo of status of development?

^^ are u an investor?

Can't wait for the pics of FLO next week. Yeahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Where are the most recent pictures? Does anyone have any later than Feb 2006?

Can't wait for the pics of FLO next week. Yeahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

here is flo

:D:D:D

^^ :rofl:

i don't have sorry. we did not walk past the site, we would have seen the new one as well probably... Face was already exhausted.

Why have the construction pictures stopped being posted on this forum and indeed other sites. Is work still going on? Any recent pictures would be appreciated

^^ Becouse the people who take regular updates, have either left Dubai or have been busy to do it.

JimDublin....drove by it the other day. There has been very little progress (if any!!)
It seems to be the slowest in the Marina. When is it due for completion ? Does anybody know?

^^ The tower has three underground floors so it will take time untill the progress can be visible just by driving by. ;)

... and to anser your question: "Run as fast as you can ... or swim like a dolphin". :D

NIce One! :runaway:

When this one starts rising?? Piling must be complete!
BTW have you an update for this one Altin? Last was at 25.02.20006

piling should be done indeed.

they are preparing for raft foundation probably.

Why are there no up to date photos posted on any of the web sites. Last shots seem to date back to February. Anyone hlep?

^^ The usual update guy Dubai Lover is no longer in Dubai and the others who are actually in Dubai don't have as much time to get around all developments.

The main reason is that the hoarding of the site is tall, uniform and with no gaps in between. The only possibility is to enter the site and we don't wanna do that.

However, as soon as the 3 underground floors are compleated and the tower is over ground, it will be much easier to take updates.

Another thing, with the summer approaching, the frequency and the number of updates reduces ... for obvious reasons.

^^ Why don't you want to enter the site? Surely if you say you are an investor they wouldn't mind you taking a few pics? (Or for any Damac site, just say you're from the Khaleej Times...works a treat every time :runaway: ).

Very mature Naz! You can't help dissing Damac, do you?

This is a Marina Pinnacle thread! :bash:

You better not say anything about Dubai Select 'cause your apartment is in their tower to be. :weird:

he said AS SOON AS 3 UNDERGROUND floors are completed it will be easier to get updates.

they are far from having those three levels completed.

i expect this to happen somewhere in august , they are probably only preparing for the raft foundation.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash:

Can anyone source a Photo of this developmetn. Nothing seems to have been posted for about 4 months

Yes, but he couldn't have done it without you, Stephan. Here's to you too. :applause: :runaway:

THX a lot :D:D:D:D:D:D

wow
a miracle
after more than 1 year of picking one's nose, we are finally set to start!

yawn

now hopefully it won't take them too long to build the structure

It's been a while since I checked in.......I think I expected more progress.
Looking forward to seeing the structure taking shape. Keep carrying the camera when driving by the Marina and post some shots along the way. I will try to do my bit. :cheers:

^^ Since tomorrow will be Friday and you surely have received that "infamous" e-mail; shouldn't you have other things to worry about? :D

happy to see they continue working on it

:D did u think they stopped again :D

but i agree, after it took them ages to completed piling it might reach the regular floors in two months and should be topped out by end 2007.

What in the world is with the big yellow?

it's the jumpform of the structure

What's a jumpform--English translation?

its the formwork that supports the fixing of steel and poring of concrete. Its called a jump-form cos the jump refers to the fact that it moves with hydrolic jacks up every floor and form is abreviation for formwork

Excellent photos of a site that's lookin' good.

First new tower core in the marina in awhile. Hopefully the first of many. If they all go up at once, it will be the most impressive thing in highrise history.

GoDubai, I have looked at the pictures you refer to and agree that the starter bars, in many cases, appear less than the required minimum length. If the bar diameter is 25mm then we would expect to see 1000mm. The piles are however large diameter and in the pictures you can see men close to the piles which gives you scale. So on analysis more do comply.

Some are well below the requirements of BS8110 but that may not be the specification that the design team are working to. If there is a project manager in attendance he should have refered the foundations to the Engineer for inspection prior to covering up. The Engineer may have taken the view that not enough piles are out of spec to cause concern or he may be allowing for the latteral restraint being offered by the shoring piles which eliminates that requirement from the main piles leaving them to deal with thrust alone.

This tower will have no view....

Anybody want to complaint about that fact?

Of course nobody will complain......:ohno:...........because it's not being sold as having a Marina view !!!

It could be worse. It will have a roads on two sides and a low-rise shopping mall on another. Beyond that, yes towers, but a gap of some sort will be there. Also, the higher flats will be able to look over Le Reve, for clear sea views. Those will have excellent views. It's Marina 101 owners who will have a major complaint. Even at the 101st floor they will be blocked of sea views. And look at the Emirates Marina Residents tower. On one side the 60-storey tower will have a 70-storey tower at a distance of only 2 or 3 meters!

you won't have much of a view above 60th floor anyway..

but then again, MP does only have studio, 1bed and some 2bed so more of low target.

^^So those poor ole folks who can only afford studio, 1- or 2-bedrooms don't deserve a view. Viva the rich!

Some tower has to be behind another tower not all towers can have views. End of discussion. If you want a view buy in a tower with a view and not a second or third line tower.

And the view is not everything they will still get the atmosphere of the marina when they actually get to ground level

^^So those poor ole folks who can only afford studio, 1- or 2-bedrooms don't deserve a view. Viva the rich!

Not having a view keeps the price down!

Studios in JBR with Sea and Palm views are selling for 650,000AED. VIVE LA RICH!

^^So those poor ole folks who can only afford studio, 1- or 2-bedrooms don't deserve a view. Viva the rich!

no but they are able to live in the marina because they are not paying 30% extra for views.
