sorry guys i totally did not understand where this tower is located.

is it inbetween The Tower and Capricorn Tower?

or is it that huge piece of flattened land between The Tower and the Trade Centre Apartments?

AltinD
November 13th, 2005, 09:02 PM
Yes, that's right. The architects are DAR Consult so expect another boring light brown stupid facade tower. :bash: :bash: :bash:

There was no render or tower's details on the board yet, but what else can you expect from DAR, certanly not a surprising miracle.

BTW, the site is almost fully boarded (still working), the site offices are build and the shoring contractor is "Dutch Foundations"

WHY :sleepy:

dubaiflo
November 13th, 2005, 09:15 PM
DAR are also doing the mekkha abrja al bait, so brown colour could be a good suggestion ;)

but this is also a new DAR tower as far is i know.
maybe it is this one?
anybody knows more?
but judging from the huge basement it cannot be this one ...

They have put on the board the name of the owner: Abdullah ??? Al ???. The last name could be "Rostamani" but I'm not sure.

The plot on the right, behind the billboard was used indeed as a kind of storagge. The entire aerea behind the SZR towers till near the Galadari Towers was full of equipment and the aerea was boarded from the back road, and the boards had DIFX and Dubai Holding's M-power logos. Maybe they were building a District Cooling Plant there

I AM thrilled when driving SZR! I think traffic in Brussels is far worse than Dubai though and that Dubai is not thaaaat bad. I think this is like every other big city in the world: "Lot's of people mean lot's of cars"

The biggest problem with SZR is that you NEED a convertible car to see all the towers otherwise you see only the lower half of them! I also found that over the weekend traffic does get a little crazy at times. I wonder why though. There is a 0 tolerance on drunk driving and most locals don't drink.

Whatever. SZR is really my all time favourite in Dubai. Actually Rose Rotana suites is my current favourity on SZR but once this one starts rising it will absolutely be my new fav.

Coming back to traffic. Do you think that whilst driving SZR you will be able to follow the maze in the cladding of this tower

without causing a traffic accident? :)

Al-Rostamani Pegel wins more towers
CONSTRUCTION UAE
21 Jul 2006

The local/German Al-Rostamani Pegel (ARP) has been awarded three contracts worth more than AED 900 million ($245 million) in Dubai. The contracts cover towers on Shaikh Zayed road, Business Bay and Jumeirah Village.

On Shaikh Zayed road, ARP has been awarded the AED 500 million ($136 million) main construction contract for the Latifa tower project. The 32-month contract calls for the construction of a 55-storey residential tower and seven-level basement with a total built-up area of 155,000 metres. The local Dutch Foundation has completed the foundations package. The consultant is Egypt’s Conin; the local Archiplan is the project manager; and the client is a private developer.

ARP has also been awarded two contracts by local developer KM Properties for the Park Lane tower project in Business Bay and the El-Matador project at Jumeirah Village. The estimated AED 210 million ($57 million) Park Lane tower contract involves the construction of a 32-storey mixed-use building with a total built-up area of 64,000 square metres. Uruguay’s Carlos Ott is the architect.

For El-Matador, the estimated AED 200 million contract covers the construction of a 42-storey building with a built-up area of 55,000 square metres.

The consultant is Germany’s Kling Consult (MEED 14:4:06).

CONSTRUCTION UAE
21 Jul 2006

The local Landmark Group has invited companies to bid by 25 July for the redevelopment of the Oasis Centre on Shaikh Zayed road. The contract calls for the construction of a shopping mall with a built-up area of 149,000 square metres. The original Oasis Centre was destroyed by a fire last September. The local Middle East Foundations is working on the foundations package.

This tower is really ugly... And I agree with everyone: the Capricorn deserves a nicer neighbour. Even Capricorn's carpark looks more stylish than this tower.

^^ If you notice, the corner area in the foreground is very massive and seams like there will be some kind of shaft, maybe for emergency stairs or lifts. Interesting enough, same thing and in the same positioned corner, is happening with the neighbouring Yaqoub Tower as well.

To bring some light into the consultants issue and project name issue:
- The official name is Al Rostamani Maze Tower
- The designers of the tower is a german office called Planquadrat. The office DAR is only the local consultant for this project.

More details as soon as they are available...
