could it be another damas tower, as its inside the same construction boards?

is it rite behind damas tower? if it is then maybe its the parking lot?? i dunno just suggestions or maybe it is another tower. what about the middle east foundations tower on szr no board. y dont u ask the workers wat it is??

Dubai-Lover
January 4th, 2005, 05:17 PM
it's next to damas, NOT behind
and i have never seen a parking lot with such massive foundations
this piling work is typical for new towers

all towers on szr are very close to each other, and this one has average distance to damas, maybe 12m

towers under construction without sign boards are often found in dubai
and the last thing they will do would be to build a car park in the first row, there's so much space behind the towers and it would be the first car park in front row

so this definitely is a new tower

Michiel
January 4th, 2005, 06:52 PM
The foundation is pretty massive. Not something for a 25 floor tower I would say.

FOUNDATION COMPLEATED!!!!

As Michiel and other said, this isn't a ordinary tower, judging by the site it might be a, close to 200 meters or even more, tower.

dubaiflo
April 4th, 2005, 10:55 PM
^ Piling and the raft foundation is compleated weeks ago. It is definitelly a tower becouse you can see what seams to be the places where the pillars will rise.


so it might rise soon? and perhaps they put up the signboard then...

AltinD
April 5th, 2005, 10:05 AM
^ No signboard yet but to complicate the mater even further: the boarding around DAMAS tower is being expanded on the oth other side and within that aerea is enogh place for a THIRD tower.

its above the height of te boards, now. odd that its all part of the same site though.

AltinD
April 13th, 2005, 03:56 PM
From the pillar-will-be it is a tower, you can clearly see the density on the central core aerea and also the side structural pillars-will-be.

I say "pillars-will-be" becouse only the metal beams sceletons are up now, the concrete isn't poured yet, at least not till the part visible from above the confinement board.

but these 2 have the same dimensions and structure, it's a copy


anyway, damas tower 1 has not yet been launched, neither has it been presented in the news or anywhere else

there is nobody selling this tower yet. once it's close to completion units will be for sale and we will be able to get more details

^the fact their is no board is a masssive pice of evidence to suggest that it is another damas tower.

not sure, it looks similar to No1 DM ,as said in Damas 1 thread already.

still, much better than having a very similar design on both sides of the roads.

I still wonder if these two will be considered twin towers, or just identical ones. It should the later and they should be considered 2 towers, since they are totally separated and not connected at all ... unless they do something on the ground level.

I estimate the height on top of the pinnacle to be 210 meters around.

Even if these are very similar to the Chelsea tower across the street, I think that these two are much better considering that they are twins and have slightly better facades and roof features. Never thought I'd say this, but well done Damac. Now get moving on Lotus Heights, Park Towers, Damac Heights, etc. and people may start taking you as a serious and reputable developer.

Judging from the speed, I feel pity for that sole worker on that tower. He must feel lonely, being alone on the site. Unless of course he is not alone, and they are just being a bunch of lazy bastards, which is why it's taking them almost six months to finish the top part!

The towers look good, nonetheless.

^^ I wish you to be up there and experience first hand what does it mean.

^^ Oooh, so you are happy with the progress?

They are slacking off. Just compare this to Rose Rottana.

I like these towers... just about done too, right? The facade does look very good and they are another excellent addition to SZR.

arent these two a near exact copy of Chelsea Tower, just across the road?
