Dubai-Lover November 21st, 2005, 05:33 PM some serious action lately
cross your fingers it's not just testing and nothing happens for a year afterwards
city of the future November 21st, 2005, 06:24 PM could be those supertalls SA Boy told us about, which we have a render of already
malec November 21st, 2005, 06:29 PM ^^ Hopefully :D
AltinD November 21st, 2005, 06:36 PM 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.
dubaiflo November 21st, 2005, 08:07 PM another one with no information. exciting.
Face81 November 21st, 2005, 08:21 PM another one with no information. exciting.
i hate all this waiting......
Stephan23 November 22nd, 2005, 09:53 AM Have we a chance for a supertall?
AltinD November 22nd, 2005, 12:27 PM I doubt it will be a supertall
http://tinypic.com/fylftf.jpg
A machine is visible behind the billboard.
Face81 November 22nd, 2005, 12:45 PM I doubt it will be a supertall

A machine is visible behind the billboard.
Driving in the fast lane and taking pics. Good skill to have, Altin ;)
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:
BinDubai November 22nd, 2005, 03:35 PM hope it will be one of those cool looking proposed towers ! we had enough average looking towers ! it affects the Skyline
Dubai-Lover November 22nd, 2005, 09:10 PM there was pretty much going on tonight
so, seems to be serious
will eventually start construction in the next weeks
site is fenced in partially
Trances November 23rd, 2005, 12:29 AM I expect another 35-45 Floor tower low quality ( this way i can perhaps be suprised when it turns out to some thing light Bright Star)
Face81 November 23rd, 2005, 01:10 AM I expect another 35-45 Floor tower low quality ( this way i can perhaps be suprised when it turns out to some thing light Bright Star)
I am sad to say ths, but I think that u may be right... another boring old tower is in store for us. I can feel it. :(
AltinD November 23rd, 2005, 11:44 AM The shoring/piling contractor is DUTCH FOUNDATION.
Face81 November 23rd, 2005, 12:29 PM The shoring/piling contractor is DUTCH FOUNDATION.
we need a render too.... still waiting patiently.... :cheers:
AltinD November 27th, 2005, 12:38 AM The site as on 26/11/2005

Bright Eyes November 27th, 2005, 12:46 AM Awesome , slowly but surely the gaps on SZR are filling up real nice !
Dubai-Lover November 27th, 2005, 08:28 PM that means they should also soon remove this giant advertisment board
i hate these boards on szr
AltinD November 27th, 2005, 09:02 PM ^ I doubt that. Khalid Al Attar tower, Golden Sand Tower, that 301 m on the other side, all have a huge board in front.
Speaking of the board: Remember when the board had 2 young ladies sitting back to back, showing off their Nivea Cream container, with the slogan: "More moisture, more PLEASURE" :rofl:
Face81 December 6th, 2005, 12:03 PM so is there any more news on this project? a reder perhaps? or has everyone forgotten about this one because of the DWTC Complex expansion? ;)
Trances December 6th, 2005, 01:41 PM way to much to keep track of in Dubai
Face81 December 6th, 2005, 01:45 PM I agree with you, mate..... it is cool to think though that those hideous brown buildings in the background will soon be history. :D
http://tinypic.com/huoxhw.jpg
Trances December 6th, 2005, 02:01 PM i hope they go via implosion
Face81 December 6th, 2005, 02:25 PM possibly the only way I think... thats how the World Trade Centre Hotel went. :D
AltinD December 6th, 2005, 05:45 PM No news, or board, or render, or ....
thedubailife December 6th, 2005, 07:26 PM The tower is like it's name non exsitent....maybe all this talk of slowdown in off plan sales has brought some projects to a pause or hold stage until the market shows signs of recovery.
Dubai-Lover December 6th, 2005, 07:37 PM this one has not even really started!
so, your explanation is wrong
AltinD December 6th, 2005, 08:01 PM Exactly, however there is a small board for The Dutch Foundation, that are doing the shoring work.
thedubailife 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.
UAE_CONDOR December 7th, 2005, 06:57 PM i go in it is 50F
AltinD December 7th, 2005, 07:26 PM ^ What? Do you have any info or you are just guessing?
UAE_CONDOR December 10th, 2005, 01:29 AM ^ What? Do you have any info or you are just guessing?
NO IM NAT guessing IT IS 50F :)
malec December 10th, 2005, 01:33 AM Well then, spit it out! :D
UAE_CONDOR December 10th, 2005, 10:24 PM http://tinypic.com/iem55i
Saudi guy December 10th, 2005, 10:50 PM i agree with Dubai-Lover they shold remove that ugly board it make szr disfigured
AltinD December 11th, 2005, 10:55 PM ^ They are doing it. :D
AltinD December 14th, 2005, 05:06 PM http://tinypic.com/fxuum0.jpg
The board ^^ is GONE!
dubaiflo December 14th, 2005, 05:18 PM 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 December 14th, 2005, 07:07 PM finally
first thing i'd ban are these stupid gigantic advertisement walls :puke:
they look so shite
make way for towers please :D
dubaiflo December 14th, 2005, 07:12 PM :D ok i get it now. though the board was in front of the plot and not on the plot area.
anyway now get things started...though i do not expect anything before Q2 2006.. :(
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.
Face81 January 4th, 2006, 09:17 PM Just as an update, I wanted to say that I drove past this plot today and there seemed to be increased activity on the site.
Just as a reminder, here is the site in question:
http://tinypic.com/jq25y0.jpg
Does anyone know anything more about this tower? There are too many towers on SZR that we dont know much about. :( :bash:
Trances January 6th, 2006, 01:01 AM Thats always going to be a problem Face
dubaiflo January 6th, 2006, 03:02 AM ...if you live in dubai :D..

not sure if we knew this already
nothing on their website about the recently spotted projects though
AltinD January 7th, 2006, 12:52 AM ^ Yes we knew.
Face81 January 7th, 2006, 08:46 AM ...if you live in dubai :D..
whats that supposed to mean? What do you know that you are not telling us? :D

malec January 22nd, 2006, 01:19 AM Nice :D
Face81 January 22nd, 2006, 08:58 AM a construction site is a construction site, filthy, or not. ;)
Dubai-Lover January 22nd, 2006, 06:12 PM great
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 January 26th, 2006, 01:06 PM http://i1.tinypic.com/ml57vc.jpg
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!!!
dubaiflo January 26th, 2006, 01:33 PM Al rafi complex!?
city of the future January 26th, 2006, 03:03 PM I really hope so.
Dubai-Lover January 26th, 2006, 05:29 PM interesting
at least it must be a tower with a massive footprint
they also change signs on the liberty tower board!
Stephan23 January 26th, 2006, 06:13 PM Al rafi complex!!!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!!

AltinD January 26th, 2006, 06:57 PM 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 mhm no unknown twin complex around here... maybe it is one of those stunning proposals we have...
we will see.
btw al yaqoub is not just tall :D
THE DUBAI GUYS January 26th, 2006, 07:01 PM but them being tall would work for me :cheers: ... but Altin's rite they should at least look half decent.
R
Dubai-Lover February 3rd, 2006, 12:33 PM hard to take a photo of this one but the hole is huge
no info on the site except dutch foundation
AltinD February 3rd, 2006, 11:43 PM You can take a picture from the small covered road, connecting Crown Plazza's parking lot at the rear, with the road in front of the hotel, passing at the side of the building.

The hole in background
http://i1.tinypic.com/nmc55k.jpg
AltinD February 11th, 2006, 11:01 PM The other one, next to Crowne Plazza Hotel. The have stuck tyhose metal beams for the shoring perimeter and there was a bulldoser removing layers of dirt.
http://i1.tinypic.com/nmcaj6.jpg
http://i1.tinypic.com/nmcbbs.jpg
http://i1.tinypic.com/nmcbx1.jpg
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. :)
dubaiflo February 12th, 2006, 02:19 AM al rafi... pleaaaaase ... :)
Face81 February 12th, 2006, 10:49 AM possibly al rafi as it is a huge plot. time will tell.....
Stephan23 February 12th, 2006, 01:35 PM If this will be the Al Rafi Complex - OMG
I can't wait.
How are our chances to get it?
AltinD February 19th, 2006, 06:20 PM 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.
Next to Liberty Tower:
http://i1.tinypic.com/o574ar.jpg
http://i1.tinypic.com/o574td.jpg
AltinD February 19th, 2006, 06:23 PM 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://i1.tinypic.com/o57qc8.jpg
Let's wait and see.
Face81 February 19th, 2006, 07:49 PM more twins? :eek:
maybe an extension to the crowne plaza? who knows? :dunno:
THE DUBAI GUYS February 19th, 2006, 11:39 PM maybe its the parking bldg...
R
dubaiflo February 19th, 2006, 11:46 PM next to it on a szr plot? never, this will be an expensive parking bldg if so ;)
AltinD February 22nd, 2006, 10:50 AM Remember this plack on the board of Liberty tower, back in late 2004:
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.
AltinD February 24th, 2006, 11:54 PM These are what I'm talking about :

SA BOY March 20th, 2007, 09:40 AM project board up with render (very nice) and its name is Latifa tower
Stephan23 March 20th, 2007, 02:14 PM ^^What?? :hm: We have a Latifa Tower already!!!
AltinD March 20th, 2007, 02:41 PM So this means Latifa and MAZE are two different project. This one is LATIFA and the one on the oposite side of SZR is MAZE Tower.
The confusion was all on the contractor: AR-Pegel, since they are the same for both projects.
Face81 March 20th, 2007, 02:43 PM renders? :D
Stephan23 March 20th, 2007, 03:03 PM Yes please!!
SA BOY March 21st, 2007, 11:22 AM can someone update title of thread?
AltinD March 21st, 2007, 11:33 AM I saw the render today. Something like a mix between Marina Phase 1 (the short building) and Millenium Tower.
Too many setbacks and it didn't look tall, with not much glass on the facade.

Please name this thread to LATIFA and change that other one to simply MAZE Tower.
colemonkee March 26th, 2007, 03:59 AM A little bit of a nod to the Art Deco classics, but with a modern twist. I like it. Looks massive.
Stephan23 March 26th, 2007, 03:47 PM And the floor height is 56 floors!!!
AltinD March 26th, 2007, 04:52 PM ^^ G + M + 55 = 57
Stephan23 March 26th, 2007, 05:17 PM Don't know if M count!
AltinD March 26th, 2007, 05:51 PM How it doesn't count? It is above G and if you go by lift, you have to press "M" on the panel.
Alle March 26th, 2007, 10:32 PM A little bit of a nod to the Art Deco classics, but with a modern twist. I like it. Looks massive.
I second that :) Maybe not a lot of ornamenting or "art" but definitely the kind of shape youd see in NY for example.
Dubai-Lover April 4th, 2007, 07:22 PM now we have two latifa towers, the other one is this maze tower on the other side of szr
is that right?
i really don't have the time anymore to follow all these projects into detail

Dennis, THIS tower is Latifa Tower, we got confused by the article posted months ago. The other tower next to Capricorn you can name it either MAZE or AL ROSTAMANI tower, since it doesn't have a name.
Dubai-Lover April 6th, 2007, 09:53 PM ok, thanks
everything is clear then

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.

TowerPower August 7th, 2007, 07:17 AM I doubt the dimensions in the render are shown correctly. If stretched it would look much better.
AltinD August 7th, 2007, 10:38 AM ^^ I was wondering that too. It looks too short and too fat considering the number of floors and the site dimensions
Marco Polo August 7th, 2007, 10:26 PM Go, Latifa , go !!!

bizzybonita February 18th, 2009, 08:23 AM 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.
