Can you belive how small the floor size is for a 70 floor tower. I know it common in DUbai but it some thing it will take me a while to get used to !

I read somewhere that North Korea’s Ryugyong Hotel is going to beat Abbco Rotana and be the tallest hotel in the world once completed.

Looks like some kind of fancy pen. It's one of those towers that only look good in Dubai, you know. Well i'm overjoyed at having a new 70+ story building in Dubai and that most of the buildings u/c on Sheikh Zayed Road are 50+. Cheers to the fastest growing skyscraper hub of the world!

North Korea’s Ryugyong Hotel is a shell it's only future rests in lineing freeways

next door to where I am standing is the Unknow tower in Trade Center 1

According to the company that owns this tower

it will be 333.3 meters to roof and 380 to spire :)

now called Rose Rotana Suites
http://www.rotana.com/aspx/Developments.aspx

can somebody please post a rendering of this one. i've been looking for one in the internet for hours, but i didn't find one.

whoever it is, please post a picture!!!

http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/591/28dubai-abbcorotanahotel-01.jpg

thank you very much dubai boy!!!! :) :) :)

new image
http://ayuplanet.com/trances/FotexRotanna/RoseRotanaSuitesTemp.jpg

And again I ask what is Height to Spire and to Roof
as i though it was
to Roof: 333 m 1,093 ft / to Spire 380 Meters

very nice photomontage!! ;) yes height is correct. i've always read 333 to roof and 380 to spire!

but this image is fake. do you see the difference between 21st century at 269m and rotana at 333. the difference between these two heights is quite exaggerated. rotana will never be so tall compared to 21st century!!!

but a really impressive tower, but wrong location in my opinion. when i was at this plot 2 weeks ago or so, i noticed that this plot is very small, so people in the lower 20 floors will directly look into the other building. you can talk from window to window or even can shake hands!!! :) or :(

not quite that close really at its a city it ment to be dense
but it common many building in other CDB share common walls on 2 or 3 sides !

yeah, but for such a hotel? i mean the skyline looks very dense then and this is prety cool, but for visitors staying there for a few nights.. i don't know

Guess not
so if it 380 to spire then its the tallest in Dubai
why is it not listed that way on http://www.emporis.com

i think the spire is not included in the design. many towers have a spire that doesn't count to the official height. for example sears tower, with spire it's 527 metres and so it would be much taller than the taipei 101. 101 also has a spire, but it's included in the design and officially counts to the height. same about petronas twin towers in malaysia, spire included in design/structure of building. or even new freedom tower in nyc. to antenna it's 609m and to roof 457, but as antenna not included in structure the official height is 457m!!! :)

but itis not antenna this is spire like spire attached to top the enclosed plant room of emirates towers ! I get the rules just ask wounder why they dont apply to this one
Also the sprie looks much shorter and off to the side on the render compared to the first images

i don't know, if towers like petronas and taipei 101 have the spire included in their official height, they could do the same with the rose rotana!!!!
maybe they will list it at 333 or at 380. we will see!!

yup, they do include the spire height in petronas towers and Taipei 101 (or else sears tower would be the tallest building in the world)

Looks outta place to me... I dont know why... maybe coz of the two shorties next to it

the architects confirmed the height to top of spire at 333 meters so the top floor will be around the 290 mark

oh thats much less than expected :( from first realases we had
Oh well makes more senese for 72 floors

still very much hole in ground no change but jsut to prove it here is one taken today
http://www.ayuplanet.com/trances/20040818/DSC08055.JPG

http://www.ayuplanet.com/trances/20040818/DSC08076.JPG

now you can see that it's pretty close to other smaller towers and the plot itself seems quite small.

will this hotel also have some facilties like outdoor pool on the backside?

i would expect so on the roof of the car park as thats most common and there is no space on the roof

As many complained already: VERY BAD location.

no location is not that bad. szr road is ok. the only thing that disturbs me is that the towers next to it are much to close to a hotel like this. there should be a bit more space around it!!!

Can someone provide me details of the Rose tower?

hi isha23, welcome to the forum. :)

just for your info: please check if we already have a thread before you post one. :) :) :)

rose tower is the abbco rotana hotel, also known as rose rotana suites hotel

thread is: http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=104602



trances - can you merge it in some way in the rose rotana thread???

no location is not that bad. szr road is ok. the only thing that disturbs me is that the towers next to it are much to close to a hotel like this. there should be a bit more space around it!!!

That is exactly what i mean. All the towers in SZR are so close to eachother, like Dubai is runing out of space or something :bash:

i had a closer look at these two pics and recognized that the roof and spire is totally different from the other pic!

in pic one you can clearly see that the spire is tall. so: roof 333m and spire 380m! OK!

in pic two you can see that the top of the building has been redesigned (officially, you can see this roof on the construction sign board!!! http://www.emporis.com/en/il/im/?id=278260 )
please don't tell me that the roof is still 333m and spire 380m!!!

have a closer look! the spire is not in the middle of the roof! it seems like the final height will be more than 333m!!!

This tower will play a big role in tranforming SZR

yes, will definitely dominate the skyline! it impresses with height and fantastic design!!

very differnet spire indeed I notice too when they changed the image on the boards
I prefer the old one !

very differnet spire indeed I notice too when they changed the image on the boards
I prefer the old one !

me too! but if it will be taller than the proposed 333m, i think it's ok ;)

i really doubt the 333m. i've already said that before. have a look at 21st century with 269m. it is so much smaller than a 333m rose rotana to roof!!!

maybe they do the same "secret thing" with it like burj dubai, but nobody knows??????!!!!

LOL I think that image is a little off lets not forget it only 72 floors already getting kinda high at over 300 meters to roof
I think we talked about this before and the image anyway on this thread

I got the picture and confirmation from the architects that the height is 333m to top of spire. you can aslo see that the crown is different on both pictures, in pic 1 its at the apex of the building and in pic 2 its set to the rear, so for now the height remains on ss.com at 333m as it is confirmed.

whats going on at the site?

check the page before Ruffles it had info on the 18th

Not much going on really here yet

no news for a long time, but today


ACC wins contract for world's tallest all-suites hotel


Dubai : Arabian Construction Co (ACC) has won the civil construction contract for the 72-storey, 480-suite Rose Rotana Hotel, which is being billed as the world's tallest all-suite hotel.

"According to the Guinness Book of Records, this is going to be the tallest all-suites hotel in the world and is going to complement the region's hospitality industry," Imad Elias, executive vice-president of Rotana Hotels, said.

The hotel, being built on Shaikh Zayed Road, will be managed by Abu Dhabi-based Rotana Group, which manages 17 properties across the Gulf and Levant regions.

Khatib and Alami Consolidated Engineering Co are managing the project on behalf of its developers, Abbco Group. The height of the tower has been fixed at 333 metres, which will include three floors of serviced offices and two floors of meeting and banqueting facilities, mostly targeting the corporate business to be based at the Dubai International Financial Centre.

Middle East Foundations are executing the ground and piling works. The project is scheduled to be completed before the end of 2006.

Officials declined to divulge the value of the contract, estimated to be in the region of a few hundred million dirhams.

Rotana this year announced 10 new hotel projects, which are to be opened between 2004 and 2006. These properties, in various phases of development, are being built by investors at a cost of Dh1.8 billion. The 10 new hotels will add 2,500 guest rooms to the group's existing portfolio of 17 hotels housing 3,500 rooms. Once up and running, they will also provide employment for an additional 4,000 new professionals on top of the current list of 3,000.

Among the 10 new properties, five will be located in Dubai, and one each in Fujairah, Doha, Kuwait, Beirut and Damascus.

Elias said the Al Murooj Rotana, to be located opposite the world's tallest building, the Burj Dubai, will open its doors to the public on May 1, 2005, on the eve of the Arabian Travel Market, for which it will be the hosted buyer.

"Al Murooj Rotana will add 253 guest rooms and 145 serviced and furnished apartments, connected through a boulevard that will have three floating restaurants, a fountain, and retail facilities," he said.

"Besides this, we are going to open the Villa Rotana, an all-suites hotel (with villettes) on Shaikh Zayed Road on June 1. This is being developed by Al Jallaf Investments. Dubai Contracting Co has won the contract for civil works, while Omar Mujais are acting as architectural consultants and interior designers."

Construction is now in full swing.

Elias said ground work for the 200-room Fujairah Rotana Resort at Al Aqah beach is also progressing. "We are planning to increase its size, even before the beginning of the actual construction, due to high demand," he said.

Its flagship hotel in Dubai, the Al Bustan Rotana, meanwhile, has expanded its management by introducing new faces. Patrick Murray has joined the hotel as the new resident manager, while British-born Kim Wells joined as the new executive housekeeper. Justine Ormandy is the area training manager.

Rotana Group last year generated a revenue of $130 million, up by 30 per cent from $100 million generated in 2002. This year, it expects to net more than $145 million.

Glad its int he news
was scared the site had gone tired in last month

maybe they were just waiting for the contract to be signed :D

Cool...nice to see its going to happen!

I really love the design of this one :cool:

so nothing yet any one who lives there
not me any more:'(

in december/january i'll shower you with construction pics, if you know what i mean :)
many things will be visible then i think
forum a bit dead over the last few days (no special news :( )

as you said we have finally caught up with towers and construction in dubai now so not so many new threads
we realy on up dates which are harder

hope there will be something in construction week tomorrow
but you're absolutely right, you were good for some regular updates and there was much to talk about then

as you said we have finally caught up with towers and construction in dubai now so not so many new threads
we realy on up dates which are harder

thats good too...it would give time to cover all the sites and take photos!

there is no one there much that can do that right now ruffles

there are, but seems like nobody wants

if only i was stil there and had nuffing better to do but to kill my self once a month walking in the hot hot sun

i would do it, but for money only ;) :jk:
no, but if somebody could give us some updates when he passes a new tower/project or whatever, that would be great

ground work
i guess these are new

cool updates and signboard!

I guess it must be a real killer with the heat and isolation walking about these project sites

I already sweat like mad in Singapore!

yip those are new cos they replaced the old project sign board with the one in the pictures. It will be awhile before you see this rise as the base is so big

yer it is a killer to walk it Ruffles
but its should eb little easiter now its winter

It will be a very beautifull tower.

i dont know as worlds tallest hotel there is no way its as iconic as the Burj
I mean it is a worth while replace ment to worlds tallest hotel title ?

Its design definitely qualifies it!

Its like the Chrysler of Dubai

no, it doesnt suits Dubai,...would looks better in Bangkok, can u give it to us please?..:D

you cant keep asking for our towers chad !

old news i found on www.ameinfo.com

The Burj Al Arab will no longer be the tallest freestanding hotel in the world when the 72-storey Rose Rotana Hotel opens in Dubai towards the end of 2006. Last week the Arabian Construction Company won the contract for the 333m high all-suite hotel. It will have 480 suites and be located near to the Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world.

Guess this means it about to move ahead

Dont you think it will be quiet thin and tall.

well i don't think so.. i think it will be reasonable

Such a small plot with such a building hight which comes to more than Burj Al Arab, it will look very different.

ur right but even though nothing can be compared to Burj Al Arab :) even if it was taller

wouldn't say that
let's see how it will look like when finished

a pdf file available on http://www.rotana.com/aspx/Developments.aspx

such a long way to go
have seen the site like this in may and august, how i hate these boring ground works

when finished it will be the most beautiful :)

it will be the most beautiful building in the world

it will be the most beautiful building in the world

yep, you can also get that far :)
love these bright colors and the roof so much, especially the blue

I love the rose-like feature of the top :cool:

I wonder who designed this building

I just wish, this was part of the New Downtown and had more space around. As it will be sandwitched between 2 buildings it will loose a lot.

Or you can say it will just add on to the density which is always great!

i would also love to see this somewhere in the marina as a landmark, but i'm convinced the big ones in marina are still to be announced! :)

sheikh zayed road also needs such beautiful towers

but all the big ones are on one side, except al salam and shangri-la.
on the other side there's emirates towers, the tower, capricorn, 21st c, damas, rose rotana,...

there area few coming up on the far side still
but with no development behind that side has limited potenial

OH my , look how deep that foundation is , this one is going to be big at 380 m

Surprising that they go so deep.

It's coming!!!

nope still no core
what a long long wait

Once again the projected completion date for this one surprises me. I know buildings in Dubai rise real fast once the foundation work is done but isnt summer 2006 a really optimistic finish target for this one after looking at the latest pictures by D-L?

http://tradearabia.com/source/2005-01/12/Depa.jpg

DEPA, the Middle East's premier hotel interiors contracting company, has clinched a Dh61 million contract with the Abdullah Bin Brook Group for the implementation of the interior work of Rose Rotana Suites in Dubai, the world's tallest serviced apartments tower.

Under the deal, DEPA will supply and furnish the 68 storey tower with lavish furnishings, elegant fixtures and equipment.

To soar 333 metres above Dubai's Shaikh Zayed Road, the Rose Rotana Suites tower is set for completion in 2006.

And in a unique and innovative step, DEPA, in association with its local and international financing institutional partners, is going to arrange the necessary financing to cover the majority of the fit-out and furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) contract value.

"The financing arrangement will be in the form of an operating lease contract associated with a full maintenance contract where DEPA is committed to maintain the furniture and replace it after seven years in case the owner does not exercise the purchase option," said DEPA CEO Mohannad Sweid.

"We are delighted to have been selected to undertake the execution of the FF&E works on the Rose Rotana Suites, given the building's headline-making distinction among Dubai's stunning skyscraper skyline."

DEPA's latest assignment will generate 410 different types of studios and 72 suites of various classes.

The tower, with its sleek steel, glass structure and its soaring height in relation to its relatively small footprint of 10,000 meters has required that the architect/consultant Khatib & Alami, employ the most sophisticated technology and refined architectural designs to accomplish the project.

The Arab Construction Company (ACC) has been assigned as lead contractor on the project which is based on an original interior design by IDEA Art Decoration.

Rotana, the leading hospitality management company operating hotels, suites and resorts, within the Middle East, will operate the property.

"We intend to create a new level of luxury and prestige on Dubai's Shaikh Zayed Road," commented Ahmed Saleh from Bin Brook.

"Utilising DEPA's implementation teams and the collaboration between the Sharjah-based design professional Salah Jizi of IDEA Art Decoration, architects Khatib & Alami and the Arab Construction Company, has produced a truly awe-inspiring design concept for the tower that puts furnished apartments on another level altogether."

Rose Rotana Suites will also comprise top of the line facilities such as a high end restaurant with private dining areas, conference and meeting rooms, prayer rooms, offices, plus a gymnasium and swimming pool.

"Operating Rose Rotana Suites, which is a unique concept both in its design and offering is an exciting opportunity for Rotana," said Salim El Zir from Rotana. "Functioning as a new-age serviced apartments property with the highest quality hotel services is an exceptional combination unmatched on an international scale."

With a high market share and an exceptional track record of marquee projects such as the Four Seasons Nile Plaza, Burj Al Arab, Abu Dhabi Conference Palace Hotel, Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Grand Hyatt Dubai, DEPA is well placed to leverage the anticipated growth of hotels across the Middle East region. And, as a testament to the company's reputation and business vision, The National Investor, one of the leading UAE investment and merchant banks, recently announced buying a 15 per cent stake in the company.

DEPA is an Interior Contracting company specializing in full scope Fit-Out and Furnishing of Five Star Luxury Hotels, Yachts and Facilities.

DEPA's main office is in Dubai with branches in Milan, Cairo and Abu Dhabi, and site offices in various cities in the Middle East & North Africa.

This network allows DEPA's clients to benefit from the knowledge, organisational ability, purchasing power and facilities it provides.

Some of DEPA's references in UAE are: Burj Al Arab, Conference Palace Hotel, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Ritz Carlton, Grand Hyatt, Al Bustan Rotana, Fairmont, and Hilton. In Egypt: Four Seasons Sharm El-Sheikh, Four Seasons Nile Plaza, Four Seasons San Stefano, J W Marriott Cairo, Sheraton Alexandria, Hilton Luxor, and Crown Plaza Sharm El-Sheikh.

In other areas: Four Seasons Doha, Sheraton Bahrain, Grand Hyatt Muscat, Sheraton Amman, Le Royal Amman, Radisson SAS Cannes, Ledra Marriott Athens, Radisson Parkway Orlando, Hilton Osaka.

After three decades of Hotel Interiors accomplishments DEPA continues to present magnificent achievements in turnkey interiors of five star luxury Hotels and Yachts, and has developed professional customized services for financing and products leasing that allow clients to benefit from extended financial facilities.

I can't wait to see this one completed! :)

the hole looks deep indeed :eek:

Looks sooo cool... i love SZR...
so now any new construction pics?
first floors already visible?

website finally online!


http://www.rosetower.net

and look look forward to updates on the web page as well when it gets underway

on the website they are now saying furnished apartments. a concept we've come across several times in dubai now
- burj dubai lake hotel
- grosvenor
- ...

so, is this still a hotel and will it be acknowledged as the world's tallest? :dunno:
still not clear to me

I doubt it. the word 'residents' is ominious for me. they still brag about being on emporis though! weird!

hotel guests are referred to as residents in the hotel business, but mostly from the perspective of the restaurant or bar

can somebody sum up the given facts please?

Salaamz,
Alt-Tab

great video!
that top thing looks too weird...

AWESOME

thank you so much, this is great! they even have put in all the towers of szr with their real designs

i wonder what these "eyes" on the top are?

Very nice, doesnt seem to dwarf the 21st c tower though like we see in the render

there is hardly a development in dubai i don't like the video of...
those are all so awesome and this one will make SZR Skyline look even better..

That glass dome window at the top looks like the kind of place Dr Evil would have his secret hideout!

muauhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuha

I prefer the top of the first design. It could be quite tacky with these colors.

I liek the old desgin as well
this ones seems like a giant evil eye

Whats that 3 Glass buildings behind it?

part of DIFC

those simulations are cool!

I still fancy it :cool:

DIFC part looks very dull and low rise
when was this 3d render made 1998 ?

Depa to fit out Rose Rotana tower

Depa, the Middle East’s premier hotel interiors contracting company, has clinched a Dh61 million ($16.6 million) contract with the Abdullah Bin Brook Group for the implementation of the interior work of Rose Rotana Suites in Dubai, believed to be the world’s tallest serviced apartments tower.

Under the deal, Depa will supply and furnish the 68-storey tower with lavish furnishings, elegant fixtures and equipment.
To soar 333 m above Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road, the Rose Rotana Suites tower is set for completion in 2006.
And in a unique and innovative step, Depa, in association with its local and international financing institutional partners, is going to arrange the necessary financing to cover the majority of the fit-out and furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) contract value
“We are delighted to have been selected to undertake the execution of the FF&E works on the Rose Rotana Suites, given the building's headline-making distinction among Dubai's stunning skyscraper skyline,” says a spokesman.
Depa’s latest assignment will generate 410 different types of studios and 72 suites of various classes.
The tower, with its sleek steel, glass structure and its soaring height in relation to its relatively small footprint of 10,000 m has required that the architect/consultant Khatib & Alami, employ the most sophisticated technology and refined architectural designs to accomplish the project.
The Arab Construction Company (ACC) has been assigned as lead contractor on the project which is based on an original interior design by IDEA Art Decoration.

completion in 2006. !!!! dont think thats still possible

me neither
i think there still is that huge hole just like in december
the exterior looks very extravagant and so is the interior for about 70 floors!
it takes even more time to finish a hotel than a residential tower!

let me state the hotel will open in mid 2007!

i think that is impossible.
how long did grosvenor take?
ok well it is dubai...and almost two years to go...but they have to do more than one floor a week i think...
i estimate april 2007 so i am more confident than you ;)

top out- late 06
opening mid 07


im a genious....
no really, why are you laughing?

^ I highly doubt it will be topped out in late 2006, I would say mid 2007.

^ Well they need to work on it 24/7, they can get it done. I mean here in Bahrain we got a 47 story tower topped out in a year, fast-track implementation. Am not sure of the interiors but the building itself can be finished if you work properly from now.

well, let's take chelsea tower for example
i remember ground worls for this tower have been finished in october 2003 and then it started to rise and was topped out in february 2005. rose rotana is much taller so it might take 20 months to being topped out, when chelsea needed almost 17 months! this doesn't include the ground works! and then put 3 or 4 months on top to finish the tower.

i guess the first level will be started in april, then 20 months to construct the tower and bang we already have dec 2006. plus 3 or 4 months working on the interior!

maybe more with some for floor may not be out fitted for like a year after it tops otu

I'd assume structural work maybe completed by dec 2006 and definately not the fittings unless they want to install somethin that's cheap quality, which i'll highly doubt. How much does this tower cost again? Was it around $80 million?

Not much really going on on the site. The foundation isn't compleated yet.

Great thanks !

wooow it looks faaaat in the renders, really huge...
compare it to 21st...

^ Forget that render. It is not realisticly proportioned.

That render is absoloutly insane!
who made such a crazy one!

it looks like a 500m tower
what confuses me is that bnc now says 323m :wtf:

yes it would be 500 on the render....
and perspective is wrong too... well we will see...
328m would fit, perhaps to the top floor, with 4.5m floor to ceiling...

look how fat it is in that render! its crazy!

any updates on this one
is it coming out of the ground already?

havent seen it yet!

have a look please...
the base/ floorplate should be huge..
hope we can already see first floor.

On Thursday evening they were pouring alot of concrete in the foundation, at least 4 - 5 concrete mixing trucks were involved.

Any pics for this one? They should be nearing the foundation completion by now.

yea maybe the first floor rising even very soon

come on already

al right fine.

i'll go now.
take some pics of damas and its unknowns as well.

sorry guys, i didnt make it today!

did take some photos at dragon mart though, so ill post them instead.

Finally a tower crane is erected on the site. This beuty shall start raising soon.

great thanks!!
we waited long enough...

finally
so the hole is gone now? foundation work finished?

Yes, foundation work seams to be finished.

Pic from april 5th
http://tinypic.com/4j3y4w

omg, this will be a superslender tower with a massive height :eek:

is that the central core ? how thin is this tower looking !!!

crane is working 24/7 ast the mo, saw it last night

this has to be one of the slimmes towers ever! Damn, it's gonna look like a needle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how muhc of each floor is devoted to that core ?

May 8th

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v705/altind/Picture071.jpg

yes, yes, yes, it's coming

lol, watch the sign: welcome to the east side raft

finally getting out of the ground
heaps of up dates today

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v705/altind/AbbcoRotana.jpg

Great to see the construction speeding up! :okay:

may 29

http://tinypic.com/5ff7gk

the car park
http://tinypic.com/5ff7es

very exciting to watch this one rise, great shot D-L. Thanks again to you n flo.

Now theyve built such a lovely hole, they just have to figure out how to get that roller out!

very slow people, but im so excited about this building, must look magnificent:)

thanks 4 d updates... finally, this skyscraper will rise...

june 4 from chelsea tower

http://tinypic.com/5n7xhe

hahha, cool veiw , but this will change soon :)

this will one of the most amazing towers in dubai...

hopefully, in a year or so, u'll have to look up , instead of looking down for this tower :D

Let the fun begin. It's almost all core. LOL

June 4th

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y264/altin/P1000203-1.jpg

nice pics, now its visible from the highway... thanks... :cheers:

wow, nice and slender! about how high up were you in the Chelsea Tower (floors and meters) where you took that shot?

were you at about the same height for the burj shots?

All pictures were taken from the roof of Chelsea tower, at least 200 meters above ground. The Burj Dubai shots were taken from there also.

They have installed the formwork, since days ago. It should start to rise 1 floor/week now. :cheers:

noticed that too
it's ready to skyrocket
can't wait for this beauty

The ground floor level of the core, is compleated now. The formwork has already climbed on the next (1st) level. :cheers:

Two other yellow tower cranes are being erected on the site. One in front of the tower and one on the left side, so together with the one on the core, will be three in total.

usually only two cranes for a tower or?
maybe this one will be faster...

seems to be growing verry fast!

everytime i drive by it seems to be bigger [and i come close to having an accident!]

The crane on the left iis done and operational but maybe what I though was to be a possible crane at the front, maybe that was just parts of the other crane, waiting to be installed in place.

Maybe will indeed be just two cranes afterall. I'll give it a look this afternoon.

Yes this one is rising fast, and it has got to be the slimmest tower on SZR... One has to see it from close to realize how slim this is gonna be. I really dont know how they will fit more than one suite per floor.

it is not that slim krazy, compare to the other towers next to it.

dubai my fav food is pfannakuacha.

When UP's The Tower was being constructed, it looked extreamely slim yet it reached 230+ meters in height. I can say that the core of this building is much wider.

This one is rising quickly. Noticed a significant change in height today after not seeing it for 4 days. I will try to take pictures tomorrow.

i think this one will rise very fast...
and love it. though i suppose july 2006 is a little bit toooo early.. ;)

If it rises as quickly as it is right now, we can expect it to be topped out by end of 2006 at least.

but not finished for sure.
but summer 2007 would be cool too.

July 3, taken less than an hour ago

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/vtalibaba/89722afe.jpg

is that really the whole building, it can't be so slim :runaway:

That's what I said... it's hard to believe.

Probably just the core though

333 meter's people. If that was how thin it was it's more like a pole.

Looks like a large core for a tall building.

Have a look at the render.. it's supposed to be thin.. even if this is the core I doubt it will get much thicker than it already is.

wow
this one is incredibly fast
it can only be the core!!!

just the core...for sure!
no windows or sth at all...

This tower is going to be soooo awesome. I look forward to seeing it rise.

Of course is just the core.

this will be a concrete cored structure with Steel composite floor plates ie steel columns and beams with a permanent formwork and concrete topping.
Simmilar to Marina sometihing or another , hell old age is catching up to me, its the tower between one marina and le reve

They have already started the construction of the (steel) main structure. I saw it this morning :eek:

PS. The tower in marina is Marina Crown, also UP's The Tower in SZR was build using the same technique.

Surely that pic taken on July 3rd is just of the core - that the building will follow - and be a good deal wider - often it appears the core is only 1/3rd to a 1/4 the width of the floor. Still I'd expect to see some structure supporting the exterior walls in that pic - bit unusual don't people think?

same like marina crown...

This is exciting! Its rising!

The formwork has risen one more floor on the core and the metal beams of the main structure are 2 floors high.

July 11, 2005

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/vtalibaba/1496d714.jpg

same like marina crown...looks very odd though :D

thanks for your updates

Sorry about the bad lighting, this site doesnt seem to get good lighting in the morning or in the eveining, maybe someone should take a shot around noon.

no problem, everyone can imagine how it looks like, thanks...
i wonder if this is a better or cheaper way to build a tower?
no idea actually... looks very weird...

this should rise very fast, well at least 1floor/week :)

not difficult to build like that.
if you compare to etisalat ;)

holy cow
will this one be topped out this year? :D

is it me or is that steel a bit wonkey?

little bit odd, i already said that...
well, they know what they do i think.

actually i think that might just be going inwards rather than bent

July 17th

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y264/altin/P1000330.jpg

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y264/altin/P1000332.jpg

Is clearly visible that the formwork has risen another floor since the last update.

still looks very odd.
compare the size of the core to the actual floor size...weird.

That is really weird. Maybe each floor will consist of only one suite?

That is really weird. Maybe each floor will consist of only one suite?

that would make a 472 storey tower :D

it looks so strange
a little bit like grosvenor house, where the core was always a few floors higher than the building itself
very untypical for dubai i'd say

July 19, 2005

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a8/sahmad/54e5141f.jpg

notice the curvy steel around the core!

samir - do you camp up there or what? :D

fantastic shot
make sure to upload your nice photos to emporis!

notice the fence has been taken down
anyone willing to enter the site? ;)

:D I wish I could but my ears start popping up there!

notice the curvy steel around the core!
:speech: :weird: :horse:

shape is looking great! this will be soooo fast :)

Looks great!, especially the shape.

looks rather weird imo :D
thanks.

So this is all steel frame

This building will be 333m tall to the roof and 380m to the spire. Right?
The building will be done before Burj Dubai and if the spire counts it will be the tallest building in Dubai for a short time. Would be nice :)

I think 333 meter will be the top of the spire.

the last pic is amazing...really shows how slim its going to be!

this one is exploding

a very untypical way of construction for dubai
a concrete core and a steel structure being built around it

http://tinypic.com/9ps3yv.jpg

the core is already 5 floors ahead...
was it the same at marina crown?

It's going to look freakishly thin. Hope it doesn't snap :eek:

Great to see this one rising now! after BD this is my favorite UC in this desert city. :)

just hope it keeps a steady pace

this one in particular is amazing :)

It's going to look freakishly thin. Hope it doesn't snap :eek:

the core does look proportionately large in comparison with the size of the base.

Any photos??

In hope there are only 144 appartments because they will be tiny other wise.

i know
they might be hotel suites but really how many are there going to be on each floor ?
Will their be penthouses ? they are going to need like 3 or 4 levels to get decent floor space.
LOL I guess it cant be as small as it looks
