http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid165/p96fe03d18332df398ec7d90bd239d0f7/f46778b0.jpg

i guess it is this one, 26F fits.

the one in media city altin talked about looks a little bit the same, but more darker, maybe olive/ grey or something.
altin what do you think?

funky, design but too short. They will be lost in a sea of big towers

thinking about it again, it has to be them
omg, what a coincidence this would be!

we just need a source, then we can add it to emporis

There were ads in the all the papers for this one. It is the pic u have put up D-L.
R

great!
thanks for the immediate confirmation

but there wasn't any developer's name?

added to emporis

the one in media city altin talked about looks a little bit the same, but more darker, maybe olive/ grey or something.
altin what do you think?

The ones in The Towers are cylindric and are connected by at least 3 bridges exept 5 - 6 floors at the shared base.

ok thanks.
but a little bit similar to the ones above.
what do you think about heigt? 40F?

I suppose this should be called E.F.Towers.

EFT Towers would stand for Emirates Financial Towers Towers....

"Mixed Use" by the way..

obviously this is correct
changed everything

The render is correct, those are the towers, and here you can see some details:

timothy seow studio

Sounds like Singapore to me

and there is a telephone number.....800-2255338

In my opinion, these are great looking towers, but then I like elliptical towers like Manazel.

A search of EFT on google came up with Electronic Funds Transfer. Quite appropriate I thought.

PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release

CPG'S NICHE STUDIO DESIGNS MIXED DEVELOPMENT IN PRESTIGIOUS DUBAI INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CENTRE (DIFC)


Emirates Financial Towers, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC)
The proposed development on Dubai International Financial Centre
(DIFC Plot CP-06)
will be a mixed development with 61,300 sqm of Gross Floor Area, and over a million square feet of gross building area.

The massing of the project will consist of two towers linked by a tubular glass sky bridge. Both almost identical towers will sit on a four-storey podium and a four-storey basement. The podium will comply with the master plan for DIFC in that it will be physically attached to the neighboring plot as well as the retail mall. Below ground, the basements are intended to allow links to the central services, parking and services along the central spine of DIFC.

The elliptical plan profile will allow the shape of the towers to appear different depending on the angle at which the development is viewed from. The sky bridge will also be a distinct feature both from within and beyond the development.

The Towers and Sky Bridge
The two towers are elliptical in plan profile and identical in height. Both towers, each twenty seven-storeys high, will be commercial offices. Piercing the two towers at the 18th floor is the glass tubular sky bridge, which will house a commercial club.

The Podium
The podium and basement will contain the retail component and parking for the entire development. This parking will be able to accommodate four hundred cars.

Part of the podium abutting the retail spine is designed as terraces that will allow light, air and greenery into the retail elements. This will allow opportunities to enliven the retail experience with waterfalls, landscaped features, natural light and outdoor activities such as al fresco dining.



Conclusion
The sensuous and aerodynamic curves of the tower will complement yet distinguish itself from the hard edge buildings increasingly common in the competitive Dubai Skyline. The sculptural profile of the elliptical towers, the sky bridge, and the distinct angles of tower tops will allow the development to define its presence and identity while adding and complementing Dubai's already impressive skyline and cityscape.

CPG’S NICHE STUDIO DESIGNS MIXED DEVELOPMENT IN PRESTIGIOUS DUBAI INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CENTRE (DIFC)
Press Release 11 April 2005



CPG Consultants and the Emirates Financial Towers L.L.C. have inked a contract for the Emirates Financial Towers, a mixed development project within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). This project is being undertaken by Dr Timothy Seow, one of the best-known Singaporean architects who was conferred an honorary doctorate by the Oxford Brookes University in 1988 for his work internationally. Dr Seow joined the CPG family in September 2003 and now heads the CPG-timothy seow studio (CPG-tss), a division of CPG Consultants.

In addition to architectural design, CPG Consultants will also provide quantity surveying and interior design services for this development located within the “Wall Street” of Dubai. When completed in 2008, it will be an iconic structure that stands alongside other buildings designed by renowned architects.

This prestigious development will consist of two towers of identical height and elliptic in plan. A futuristic glass tube, suspended 85m above the ground between the twin towers, will house an exclusive commercial club which will overlook the panoramic view of the Dubai cityscape and the Gulf. With over a million square feet of exclusive commercial and retail space, this will be one of the few developments in Dubai with many lifestyle amenities.

“CPG have impressed us with their high quality design, professionalism, flexibility, responsiveness and, above all, commitment to address changing criteria within a context of short time frames,“ remarked Mr Mazhar ul Haq, CEO of Emirates Investment Group LLC.

"Dubai is one of the most buoyant construction markets in the Middle East, if not the world today,” says Mr Pang Toh Kang, president and CEO of CPG Corporation. “I am happy that Timothy's design will be showcased among the best in Dubai. Timothy’s strong brand name, excellent niche track record and vast design experience has added to CPG’s strengths to compete overseas.”

Indeed, the synergy between CPG and Dr Timothy Seow has been working well. The Emirates Financial Towers is but one of the many milestone projects undertaken by Dr Seow and his team since joining forces with CPG. Besides Dubai, CPG-tss has also made its mark in China, India, and Indonesia. Some notable projects include the Cikarang Golf and Retirement Condominium, a golf resort cum 202-unit mid-rise condominium development in Jakarta; Tiandu Aili Villa, a 226-unit villa mixed development in Hangzhou; Central Park, a 262-unit luxurious condominium development in Shanghai and four township and residential development projects in India.

“This past one and a half years with CPG has been one of the most productive periods of my career, especially with the symbiotic relationship we have. I leverage off CPG’s established reputation, track record, and extensive business network and logistics support to venture further overseas, while contributing my experience and track record to a reputable firm – a win-win situation for both CPG and myself,” said Dr Seow.

MAG Group are the developers and an article in GN today says construction will begin in Sept. 2005.

Sharjah-based investor Emirates International Holding and Dubai-based property developer Mag Group are investing $122.5m in a joint venture to develop a twin towers complex called Emirates Financial Towers in the Dubai International Financial centre, reported Gulf News. JV company Emirates Financial Towers LLC will oversee the sale and development of the project which has commercial, residential and retail space.


Anybody have an official site plan to locate DIFC plot CP-06 ?

these are indeed the mag towers!


DIFC gets Dh450m freehold towers

By Saifur Rahman, Staff Reporter

Dubai:
Emirates International Holding, a Sharjah-based investor, and MAG Group, a Dubai-based property developer, will invest Dh450 million in a freehold development at the Dubai International Financial Centre.

Emirates Financial Towers will be one of the largest freehold projects at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), which is being developed to become the region's largest financial hub.

The project's backers have created a 50:50 joint venture, Emirates Financial Towers LLC, to oversee the sale and development of the project.

"The DIFC authorities are going to hand over the plot to us by September this year, when we will began the site works," a project representative said.

The twin towers of the complex will offer commercial, residential and retail space.

Designed by Dr Timothy Seow of CPG, a Singapore-based developer, the towers will have a distinct elliptical profile with a glass façade.

It will be developed on a 8,700-square-metre plot and will have a built-up area of about 660,000 square feet.

Commercial sales of office units, priced about Dh1,700 per square feet, started on Sunday, the representative said.

"The DIFC is fast emerging as the world's leading financial centre and Emirates Financial Towers is definitely going to be part of the rapid growth and development within the financial hub," said Reza Jaffar, managing director of Emirates Financial Towers.

Investment bankers, brokerage companies, financial service providers and private equity companies will be courted as potential buyers of office space in the completed towers.

The complex will provide tenants with amenities including a 24-hour security system, high-speed lifts, car parks and a sky bridge.

"Through the use of the latest technology and quality products, we have designed the Emirates Financial Towers to help our tenants perform within pleasant, functional surroundings. With the prominent project to be completed in early 2008, we are already seeing huge demand from financial institutions and expect to be fully occupied soon," Jaffar said.

This just in from CPG in singapore.

The total height of the building is approximately 132m, with two 26-storey towers on a 4 storey podium = 30 storeys in total. However, figures may still change as an additional floor may be added to the podium due to increased parking requirements

Soen

Perhaps emporis may like to add the heights too.

aha, so these are indeed 30 storey towers

shall we can add the 132m to emporis? why approximately?

Id add them at 132m for now and if or if not the height changes then change acordingly. buildings get height changes all the time

www.eft.ae is now online and one of the crappiest websites ever :ohno:

Those looks good, the skybridge between them looks nice too, though they don't fit in!

so how many floors says 26 here

EFT to build world’s largest automated car parking facility
[Sunday, November 19, 2006 4:44:00 pm]

Emirates Financial Towers (EFT) has announced that they have awarded Robotic Systems the rights to develop a high-tech parking facility that will be one of the first of its kind within the Middle East. This system is planned to contain 1,200 fully automated parking spaces and will be the largest of its kind worldwide.

Designed by US firm Robotic Parking Systems, patrons of the EFT will have at their service a technological marvel that takes the problem of parking out of their hands and into the hands of computers.

“Within classical terms, the Emirates Financial Towers is by all means a futuristic building in both look and design.' said Mr. Hani Abu Auida, EFT Chief Executive Officer. “With this technology, an individual will not need to drive through the garage to find a parking space. You simply drive your car into one of the multiple entry exit stations and leave your car to be picked up by the computerized machines (Robots) that will park it inside the building on a shelving system."
He added: "This is true premium valet parking for everyday use, using state of the art technology instead, leaving your car safe from break-ins and accidents or dents and scratches that are usually the risk of parking in large car parks".

The Robotic System utilized in EFT addresses the growing parking problem in the UAE by providing more than twice the number of parking spaces compared to a conventional car park in the same space.

Speaking of the new system, Mr. Royce Monteverdi of Robotic Systems said, “The Robotic Parking system is environmentally friendly and shows the dedication we have in helping the environment since it eliminates exorbitant high volume of emissions produced by vehicles inside a car park, while circulating when trying to find a space inside the garage. It is an active contribution to combat the effects of Global Warming and I welcome and appreciate the visions of EFT”.

"The state of the art amenities that we will be offering, coupled with the unique architectural design of the Emirates Financial Towers, is an illustrative example of how progressive the UAE is, and an example of the intrepid advancement taking place in this part of the Middle East." concluded Mr. Hani Abu Auida.

Based in the DIFC, the ultra-modern Emirates Financial Towers is planned to be a mix-use building that presents Grade-a office space, in a contemporary and ground-breaking design. Coalescing premier commercial and housing space, the architects of the EFT structure have created a distinctive design that features a unique elliptical profile with an embedded translucent sky bridge, allowing it to be unmistakably noticeable against the Dubai skyline.

The Emirates Financial Towers is a twin tower development consisting of 26 floors of Grade-A office space, retail offices, and residential units. Coalescing premier commercial and residential space, the architects of this widely anticipated project have presented a unique design that features a distinctive elliptical profile with an embedded transparent Sky Bridge. The project also has an advanced car parking facility, designed by Robotic Parking Systems from the United States, which is the first of its kind in the Middle East and is planned to contain 1,200 fully automated parking spaces.

With the agreement signed by Mr. Hani Abu Auida, EFT Chief Executive Officer and Eng. Faisal Abdullah Al Qurq, Chairman of Al Qurq Engineering Consultancy, the total project budget for the development is approximately AED 550 million (USD$150 million).

The venture based in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is one of many prestigious projects being constructed in Dubai's future financial hub and is recognized as the signature development of the district.

There was a rumour of these going on hold. Good to see they're still rising.

Yes, agreed. And these will complement Park Towers fantastically.

I live in Dubai and again I have to say that the designs are stunning, BUT the height is disappointing. I mean why cant they build the same design but >250m? For this design, the height makes their location seem out of place.

Emirates Financial Towers, a premier commercial development located in the heart of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and joint venture project between ENSHAA and MAG Group, tested the appetite of property agencies when the newly-completed state-of-the-art tower opened its door for property agencies during an agency gathering held recently at the Capital Club Dubai.
The event witnessed great interest from UAE's leading real estate firms who appreciated Emirates Financial Tower's uniqueness and innovation.

"An agency event was last experienced in early 2008, with everyone who is anyone in the commercial leasing and sales market present. The Capital Club Dubai added an additional element of sophistication. The presentation of Emirates Financial Towers in the DIFC was brief but yet detailed. The project is about to be handed over thus gives the agents in the market something tangible to take to their clients. I believe Emirates Financial Towers is a quality product in a remarkable location and it could be the first choice for corporate clients looking to set up in the DIFC." says Billy Rautenbach, Managing Director - The Property Store.

Colin Seow, Chief Development Officer - ENSHAA PSC says, "We are delighted by the high turnout at the function and overwhelmed by the positive responses received from the agents attending the event."

"The market is picking up, especially in prime locations such as DIFC, which is the place to conduct business in the best environment. Emirates Financial Towers has become a destination of choice for firms and investors due to the smart technology and modern equipment provided, and property agents are gearing up to sign a number of contracts with renowned firms and large brands in the business world." explains Ben Bandari, Business Development Manager - ENSHAA.

Strategically located in the heart of the DIFC‚ Emirates Financial Towers is a unique fusion of form and functionality. This high-end development offers a premier business address and an ideal platform for establishing a business.
