Farhan Faraidooni, CEO of Dubai International Properties said: ' Dubai Towers - Doha will feature boulevard, offices, residential accommodation, and a five-star hotel, a health centre, gym, restaurants, a well-equipped business centre with high speed Internet connection, parking lots, security services, and 24-hour maintenance system, laundry -- all of which will add to the uniqueness of the project.'

He said: 'We aim at investing in the Gulf markets, as they offer promising opportunities. Doha was our first choice as it provides a unique atmosphere for investment and work.

Faraidooni said: 'We will adopt state-of-the-art facilities in building Dubai Towers-Doha, as we will deal with top international architecture companies such as 'RMJM, which were in charge of designing Emirates Towers. The company will adopt a unique design for Dubai Towers-Doha, as it will hire leading interior designers. We are confident that Dubai Towers - Doha will be the city's new and best project.'

OH godd...Dubai, come to Bangkok please....:)

The shape of the tower reminds me of a falcon ready to take off

THE architecture is RMJM of U.K......

this is a nice project and huge for qatar.....

i think this is a strategic investment for Dubai overseas.....

This is one of the most beautiful towers i've ever seen!

I think I would prefer a 'Dubai' tower in my city than a 'Trump' tower :-)

big big news guys



Dubai International Properties has postponed closing date to 2 May for the main construction package on the 400 metres high Dubai Tower in West Bay, set to be the tallest building in Doha

Tender documents were released in early March and prequalifiers were originally given until 11 April to bid for the contact which calls for the construction of an 80-storey tower. The mixed-use development will have a substantial podium to house retail, restaurants and entertainment facilities. Above it will be about 20 floors of office space and 60 storeys of one and two-bedroom apartments.
Nine international companies have been invited to bid for the contract.
The main contract will take 24-30 months to complete.
The project manager is the US’ Hill International.

One really nice design, sharp. 400m

nice one

crap !! They're acctually building it !! :/

Congrats :)

Looks like huge crystal, very nice building!

Awesome design! And awesome height if it really will be 400m. I don't think there are anything nearly as tall in Doha. Seems like other Middle east cities will follow the "skyscraper trend of Dubai". :)

I forgot to ask: Why call it Dubai Towers when it is just one?

i can just give you the reason why there's "dubai" in the name
the developer is dubai international properties by dubai holding, a mega developing company from dubai

in fact there are dozens of high-rises coming up in doha. they build a completely new skyline, called west bay. there still is more in the pipeline

do you draw this tower for ssp?

400m is impressive I'd have to say, we'll see what DIB has in store for the other gulf countries they're planning to invest in, if they intend on building towers there. I know of other arab countries where they've invested but not to build towers.

now thats what i call a skyscraper! 400m? well done!

Dubai-lover i dont really think dubai holdings is building any more towers or changing the west bay skyline completely. Most of the land in the west bay has been squared in and ground work has started, so Im not sure where exactly in the west bay theyd aquire land.

Nice tower. Much nicer than Burj Dubai.

nice tower, but ONLY 80 stories? :D

j/k

beautiful :cheers:

Yes, I will draw it right now!

hey guys, the project manager has confirmed the height in a press release


the project manager hill intl. says the tower is 445m tall!!!

445 m is insane...
with 80 stories?
the spire must be huuugee...
even more as it looks like to be.

but nice to have another "dubai" tower over 400m :D

445m tall!!!


:) Very nice.

doha's new skyline will look insane with this one towering above everything

so many great towers coming up there and all these artificial islands

it will be one hell of a place in a few years, the 2nd dubai for sure

Here is the tower:

Nice! It reminds me, somehow and with obviously differences, to Burj Al Arab.

Damn, that new tower is fabulous! A true beauty :cheers:

awesome!

this one must be U/C now!

Our friend at qatar forums did this.. he's good..

400 meters are very nice and welcom!:) I think Doha will gets a serious skyline.

This tower will be a gr8 addition to an already gr8 skyline.

I think it's butt-ugly actually and way too tall. If it was 300m it would be much better because even though it would still dominate it wouldn't feel as if it were taking over the whole skyline by itsself

Woah , congrats :D

Any UC pics out there???

No u/c pics yet, they are just breaking ground.

Males, i totally agree with you. But this pic shows the skyline as it is today. By the time this building will constructed there will be at least 4 or 50+ story towers sharing the same skyline.

A clean cut minimalist look. I really like this design :)

Oh right. It'll help a lot then. Maybe it's just the renderings of this tower are ugly (not the night one, the normal ones) and it'll look better. Think of Al Fattan towers in Dubai.

They need more renderings. From that angle I dont really know how the tower looks like!

Looks ok from what i can see

The model:

Some impressive shit!! :)

this one is soo huge. look at the height-wide ratio!

Yet another building in Dubai! :)

In Doha actually :)

Built by Dubai :)

wow, that's fantastic!

AMAZING! Simply amazing. GO dubai! :cheers:

Another really amazing tower!

AMAZING! Simply amazing. GO dubai! :cheers:
This will be built in Doha not in Dubai

how far is Doho from Dubai?

when driving maybe 700km
flying is 1hr, so maybe 450km

i got a brochure at this week's real estate exhibition with new and clean renders

absolutely awesome

445m and so massive

700km??? gee it must going to be a landmark in Doho! what is current tallest in Doho?
so this tower will be office?

lol
it's called doha

there are hundreds of towers coming up
i try to cope with it on emporis, check it out

i know there are plenty of projects missing, but it's hard to find info

eg, the lagoon twin towers, awesome design

problem is, we don't have anybody from qatar, who is doing all the researches and site visits

I wonder whether 445m is the roof height or spire height (look at the model).

To spire I presume.

400m to roof and 445m to spire
spire was not included originally

Exactly, that's why the drawing on SSP is wrong at the moment.

tower is AWESOME, height is cool - BUT.....

it may become an eyesore on the doha skyline - i mean it doesnt seem to fit. way too big compared to its surroundings...
