An extremely good location (Right before the first bridge next to the marina). This one is being built by a saudi developer. More details tomorrow inshAllah after my good night's sleep.

[dubaiflo]

right before the 1st bridge?

r they going to build it on top of marina view? or next to the marina mall.. well obviously.

[malec]

Good night! :)

[Krazy]

this is on the other side of marina mall... right before the bridge (towards dubai not abu dhabi)

[dubaiflyer]

Is the site between the bridge and The Atlantic?

[Krazy]

All I know is it's right next to the bridge... there is no tower between this one and the first bridge on the opposite side of Marina Mall

[dubaiflo]

you are right dubaiflyer.
it is right of the marina mall and left of the 1st bridge coming from abu dhabi.

[Josau]

Sorry, I still didn't get it. Is it opposite to Marina View? If you drive over the first bridge towards JBR Marina View is on the right and this one would be on the left ?

[Krazy]

The yellow spot marks the location of Shahla Tower

[Dubai-Lover]

is there no render or developers name?

[Josau]

Thanks Krazy, now I got it.

[dubaiflyer]

That's on the other side of the Marina to the Marina Mall.

[Krazy]

The render... it's not narrow at the bottom like it shows here.. it's just a strange anlge that i took a pic of the poster...

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e357/sahmad1/41b6331d.jpg

[Krazy]

Developer is Khalil Abdul Wahab Group and Khatib & Alami are the architectural consultants

[dubaiflo]

looks like JLT..
btw it seems like this side of the marina will get the taller towers, along with JBR this will be hell of a skyline ;)

[Dubai-Lover]

yep
could be in jlt as well

quite good tower though

honestly i didn't expect such tall towers in the first row at the marina
it's the first one at this height!

design is nice, nothing to complain about

[AltinD]

It's strange but in almost all the plots where work has been discountinued, Middle East Foundation did the shoring work.

The former EMAAR sales center plot in Marina
2 x plots in SZR
Dubai Islamic Bank Towers in Al Jafilyia
etc...

Hi
It seems that work has now commenced on this e.g. signs of pile driving etc.
As I am opposite this site and my main bedroom directly overlooks the works I have a vested interest! Can some-one find out what the current plan is or is it same as original?
Thanks
Jo

[philippo]

I need some information about the MEP contractor please..
Thx guys

[Jodel]

[Jodel]

Any news on what is happening?

After 2 months of frenzied activity the foundations have been covered in orange tarps. and there is no-one on site. Also work seems to have stopped at Abyaar site next to it (Pier 8)
:?

Strange?? Just noticed post by Desert Diver on Feb 4th

[Imre]

U/C, many workers there, PIER 8 as well.

Hi
Workers are for Park Island not Shahla Tower. I am looking over the site from my bedroom window (20th floor) and all is deserted, with exposed works have been secured by tarps. Will take a pic. and see if I can get it on here.

See also Pier 8 thread no workers since last week Jan.

(I thought they took the cranes, but they are obviously just about to be assembled - some day)

[Desert Diver]

Today, seemed even sleepier than the other day

[Desert Diver]

^^^Well, its seems to go along with the rate of activities in this thread :lol:

[Beppe786]

all covered up does that means its on hold?

[Desert Diver]

^^ Yesterday I went there again and took a picture. Its not worth posting, since nothing has changed - for almost a month now :ohno:

[jeetha]

No change for 1 month = On hold.

[Josau]

The water pumps are running and you can see the occasional person or car there, but no work.

[Josau]

When looking closely at the site, you can see that there is a leak to the Marina, they had to stop foundation and waterproofing. You can clearly see sand bags protecting the rest of the site from flooding. I suppose this is the reason for the halt. The pumps are working very intensely.

[AppleMac]

Loads of workers pouring concrete today, so dont know if construction is back on or they are just stabilizing the site.

^^^^
worg going on here now, it seems to be U/C again!
:banana::banana:

[True Blue]

Yes that is the main pile cap raft being poured. Signs are good but they may just be protecting the reinforcement before the winter rains arrive.

We will have to monitor, but good signs.

Cheers Imre,

Looks like a change of contractor. Those are not Arabtec uniforms and the site offices have been changed. Could have renegotiated the contract with someone else.

[Imre]

yes, AFGCO (Al Fara'a General Contracting ) is the main contractor , some details still missing on the board
