Well Please post our vote for Dubai Ugliest tower over 40 Floor

With all the quality and large number of high rises going up in this far growing city we some time for get to take time to step back and take it all in. So take a perspective and find time to ridicule the tower that is disgrace to every city very existence
Please neonate the tower that you feel should be banished for all time for the very blight on the earth it is.
OR just post a tower you dislike and state why

The one in front, just across SZR is ugly as well. They make the "perfect duo"

The green and gold Al-Attar tower on Sheikh Zayed Road makes me wanna piuke! It's an absolute eyesore. It should be demolished and the other Al Attar tower U/C shouldn't even be built, its black and pink!

dunno if its already been mentioned but that newish-looking tower close to the Shangri-La on SZR. It's got red and blue on it I think? I dunno what the designers were thinking when they came up with that thing

LOL.. I just came to this thread and I had copied the URL of the Sheikh Essa bin Salman tower so I can post it here as one of the ugliest towers on my list.. but I've see the pic has already been posted twice :)

Here's another ugly one on my list. The Lake Terrace. Maybe if there wasn't any St Patrick's Day green on it, it would've looked better.

Also, all of the "Manchester" towers are horrible.

Why aren't there any towers with big statues of monsters and goblins on them.. like the one in Ghost Busters.. I would really love those.. for some reason the Dubai Marina towers like Mesk and the others remind me of it.

Though they stop building this type of stuff 10 years ago GRRRR
The Lake Terrace That my FAV tower in JLT over all like the green break up the colours and will be sky gardens

ok, sheikh essa is not the best for szr, but there are some more towers that defnitely don't belong there, eg crowne plaza hotel,...bbbrrrrrrr. and all these towers that were the first ones at szr,..... well,.... they don't look futuristic at all,.... but,... ok,....
