No, it's not that. The location of that complex is some hundreds meters away and this plot is small to permit a super huge structure as that one.

This is not just testing ground though. The site is partially boarded and the machines were working.

Yeah, you are right though... the site is too small for a super tall. i am thinking of something in the range of 200m+ and hopefully it will look better than the Crowne Plaza trio. :cheers:

^ I doubt that. Khalid Al Attar tower, Golden Sand Tower, that 301 m on the other side, all have a huge board in front.

this one has not even really started!
so, your explanation is wrong

AltinD

Exactly, however there is a small board for The Dutch Foundation, that are doing the shoring work.

December 7th, 2005, 12:14 AM
Thank for that Dubai - Lover and AltinD but maybe my explanation explians why it's not started. No point of putting something on market if no immediate demand for it.

Well that my opinion :okay:

AltinD
December 7th, 2005, 01:16 PM
^ It is totally the oposite. Is not that the tower was annunced and it is not starting. They just started work on it without any annuncement at all, we discovered it by chance.

You are totally out of track.

now what is that supposed to mean..

AltinD
December 14th, 2005, 06:57 PM
^ That the tower's developer doesn't want someone else making money from the plot of land he bought/leeased, not to mention that having such a huge board in front of your site, obstructs not only the lighting but also the working of the machineries/personel.

Dubai-Lover

AltinD
December 15th, 2005, 12:45 PM
^ Of course it is just in front of the plot or better say on the border, that's why I spoke also about blocking the natural light and maybe disturbing the movement of the machineries.

this is only visible because last week a strong wind has blown away the fence from liberty tower down to the acico nikko hotel plot

a dozen of cars was damaged and the fence hasn't been replaced as of today :D

AltinD
January 22nd, 2006, 07:18 PM
^ No, Dennis, the fence blown by the wind that fell on top of a passers by and injuring a number of other peoples and demaging a number of cars, was that of Park Place Tower, which is also near Acico/Nikko Complex. That board is already replaced now.

The board of this site is as it always was, just that they have open a side (not front) section to allow for machineries to work and/or move.

AltinD

Look at that ^^.

- The fence is continuos, accross 2 plots, till Crown Plazza Hotel.
- Shoring and piling contractor for the other plot is also DUTCH FOUNDATION
- Work wass quick to comence on that other plot.

CONCLUSION: This should be a TWO TOWERS Complex!!!

I doubt it will be Al Rafi. That complex has a a common podium, while these two seams to be separate towers. The one next to Liberty has the shoring work done and excavation continuing.

I stand on my conviction that there we'll have a twin towers complex, I just hope for something cool and not just tall, as in Al Yaqoub case. :bash:

dubaiflo
January 26th, 2006, 07:01 PM

As visible from the pictures, the basement of the 2 buildings will be very close to each other and I doubt there are two different develoipers doing there. More and more the signs show of a 2 towers complex. :)

Come on guys, this is NOT Al Rafi complex. These are two different towers with two separate basements, while Al Rafi has a single basement aerea for the entire 3 towers complex.

The two holes. As you can see they are separate, meaning there will be 2 towers, but the approximity of them (as seen on the picture below) and the fact the same contractor is doing the shoring work and both are behind the same board, suggest that they might be twins.

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid151/p5f52709bd77e96ea525e455201c88e28/f5ccf835.jpg

A similar one is hanging now on the boarding of the site, located in the middle of it, suggesting that these might be indeed a 2 towers complex. I doubt there will be info about the number of floors but at least some consultants are listed, so hopefully we might find some info on their websites.

^^ For the same reason as Shrek III is there. :D

There is a PALAZZO VERSACE Hotel being build in Dubai and what you see is actually an Advertising Billboard for it, erected just in front of the construction site.

The full ad board you can see it in an earlier picture on the previous page.

ThyssenKrupp's Twin systems for Latifa Tower

on Wednesday, February 18, 2009

ThyssenKrupp Elevator has received an order to supply two Twin systems with a total of four cabs as well as 17 conventional elevators for the Latifa Tower in Dubai.

On completion of the 210-metre-high residential and office building planned for 2010, these will be the first Twin elevator installations in use in Dubai. While the upper Twin cabs in the Latifa Tower will travel in the shafts at up to six metres per second, the lower cabs will reach a speed of up to four meters per second.

In addition to the two Twin systems, two of the 17 conventional elevators are also suitable for use as Twins. If needed, they can be extended into a complete Twin system.
