----------------------------------------------


I was at the Downtown living centre at Burj Dubai yesterday and came across this HUGE model. I was told not to take pictures, but then again i hate being told NOT to do something :D

Check it out...

http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/9724/image000359fl.jpg

Looks quite chic imo. What do you guys think?

looks like it could be close to business hub. weird.

But there's no space behind the Business hub, its directly facing the road.

it could rather be next to business hub.

the white buildings could be old town as well, but if the towers in the back will actually look like that it is going to be riddiculous.

Remember SA Boy there would be a building by Calatrava or Gehry in the burj dubai down town. Am thinking it could be one

They look pretty cool. I count around 34 floors for the left one not including what looks like a podium.

wow transparent towers

Big ego architects always try and make it so their buildings will be the most noticed (although hard to do with burj dubai around the corner :D). Will look great in the end I think. Love shiny towers and it's great to see some variety in the burj dubai downtown finally. Am sure these will go through

surprisingly good buildings! :) I thought that there will be only emaar-style buildings at that area :|

check out the masterplan http://www.downtownliving.ae/content/masterplan.html on the right top corner there is two buildings, these are definetly those buildings!

exactly my thoughts, just next to business hub.

Hmmm, dubaiflo was right then. The buildings looked really chic atleast as far as the models were concerned. They will definitely be something to talk about. I have another picture, will post it soon.

very futuristic
moved it to main forum since it's a project thread

it must be an approved project otherwise it would be senseless to put it in the sales center and yes, these smaller buildings are the business hub

Sorry for the image quality. I had to take the snap rather quickly or i would have 2 very angry women breathing down my neck, and we all know how bad that can be :D

thats hot! lol!


R

they look fantastic in the 2nd image.

great design.

hm, the first one is about 35 storeys

really great looking from this angle
wonder when emaar will launch them
can't be too long!

They are DEFINITELY not residential towers. I'm not sure if they are going to be freehold either; something tells me that they are going to be on a rental basis.

Docc.

if so, there is no need to announce them in the near future either :bash:
why do you think so?

If you notice, most of the buildings in BD are not "eye-candy" except BD itself ofcourse. Also, i have heard that some buildings in BD will be owned by Emaar and will be offered only on a lease basis. I'm thinking if thats true, then this is definitely one property Emaar would like to hold on to!!!

IMO, this is probably on the top 3 list of "exquisite" properties in the BD development, first and second being BD and the BD Lake hotel ofcourse.

Just my 0.002.

I really want to see those starchitect towers SA Boy was on about

nice work docc!! :)


they look gorgeous...

Malec, u r right! Finally buildings that look they are worth something will add glory and splendour to the base of the WTB! Yay! :D

The question I have for you, Docc, is about the road on the left in this pic. Is that Doha street, or SZR? And you should be able to tell us, based on the position of the Burj Dubai on the model you photographed. Now come on, spill the beans!!! :D

Holy crap!!!! They look great!!! Much much better than the model, thats for sure!!!

now you can see it's for real and world class architecture!!

simply awesome :eek:

Anyone have any idea as to when they are launching this and what the prices for prime office space would be?

Those two looks really amazing, and just across from Burj Dubai! :eek:

These are fantastic, as I have said in the past, though a name change in innevitable. The name "Emaar Towers" has already been used for the "Emaar Towers" development by the Clock Tower in the heart of Dubai City.

These are the real Emaar Towers:
http://www.emaar.ae/Images/towers_banner_tcm3-450.jpg

Exactly what i was thinking.

well emaar towers won't be the final name anyway..

modern gothis architecture! interesting! thats what i call a creative design!

any more infor on this project? seems very interesting!

^^ well in fact it is not yet launched, but it was mentioned and article and i saw a tender for two plots in Burj Dubai recently. must be somewhere here.

but i expect them to be launched soon, nothing from emaar for quite a while.

but these are commercial, so they might wait another year perhaps. maybe they are already selling it. they are in Emaars BD model.

Amazing towers :eek2:

Have these been officially launched? I've been in Miami since the last couple of months and haven't been stayin updated with all the developments. I would really like to get an office space here so that i can set up a medical facility sometime in the future.

Any word?

not launched.. but mentioned somewhere.. but that was months ago.

were are theses towers going to be located by

awasome...i really want them to start nowwwwwww....

were are theses towers going to be located by

on the very edge of the BD complex in across the street of Dusit hotel, just next to the business park.

Darn...I really wish they would launch these towers already!!! With escalating prices i don't wan't to have to shell out an extra 15% just because they didn't launch it earlier...

well is there any pics of the site were they might get built on.well if there is any constuction equipment on the site then they might start soon who knows?

When will construction start here?? Do we have a date??

on the very edge of the BD complex in across the street of Dusit hotel, just next to the business park.

Actually no, rather in front of Business Park, facing Burj Dubai

^^ i saw that from this render now also http://aycu30.webshots.com/image/6789/2003035756564296479_rs.jpg

however the model showed bit different location. anyway.

does anybody know when this tower will actual start ?

can't wait to see these cool towers Rise

From the latest aerials it seams that the aerea is boarded up and machineries are on site.

^^ yeah i notice that to :cheers:

how height are each EMAAR tower's ?, the exact height. because i'm making a diagram

Venture wins Burj order
CONSTRUCTION UAE
9 Feb 2007
A joint venture of South Korea’s Samsung Corporation and Turkey’s Baytur has been awarded a $225 million contract by local developer Emaar Properties to build two office towers at the Burj Dubai development. The 27-month Boulevard Plaza contract covers a total built-up area of about 200,000 square metres. The architectural consultant is the Hong Kong office of Aedas; the engineering consultant is Hyder Consulting of the UK.

R

Boulevard Plaza - update accordingly.

Can a mod change the status please :cheers:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/griftre/IMG_0031.jpg

Thank you malec for the swift action. :cheers: (with a Guinness)

From what I can see the piling is in an advanced stage (notice the pile of concrete blocks that is used for pile load testing) so two more beuties comming.

Yes U/C :cheers:

Are these the same 2 towers seen in this model?

http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/5489/img4952oy2.jpg

^^ Yup.

I guess it would make sense to have your office with a direct view of the Burj. Otherwise there is plenty of office space next door in the Business Bay.

When will Emaar release these towers?

Doesn't get much bigger than this :)

Emaar unveils exclusive commercial towers at Downtown Burj Dubai with Boulevard Plaza


Emaar Properties complements the impressive business growth of Dubai by adding new commercial space at Downtown Burj Dubai with Boulevard Plaza, which also form a spectacular addition to the Dubai skyline.

http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/9/39939-emaar.jpg
Boulevard Plaza at Downtown Burj Dubai.

Emaar is launching the first of two towers, the 36-storey Boulevard Plaza Tower 1, on Sunday, May 15, 2007. Amlak Finance, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank and Dubai Islamic Bank are offering easy finance options.

Boulevard Plaza 1 will have only a maximum of four tenants in the exclusive office floors from Level 8 to 33. The top three levels will serve as spacious executive full floors while the lower and podium levels will have a mix of offices, retail facilities and parking spaces.

'Downtown Burj Dubai is adding more commercial space to meet the increasing demand for prime office space in the heart of Dubai,' said Mr Saif Al Mansoori, Assistant Director, Marketing, Emaar Properties. 'Response to the office space offered by Burj Dubai Square and The Old Town Island has been encouraging. Boulevard Plaza will be an added draw for regional and international businesses looking for a central location in Dubai that also features residences, hotels and retail facilities in close proximity.'

Boulevard Plaza will build on the elegant architectural mix that surrounds Burj Dubai Boulevard, a 3.5 km, 73-metre circular thoroughfare with restaurants, retail outlets and fashion stores. The towers are inspired by the veils and layers of traditional Islamic architecture and will be a spectacular structure clad in glass, metal and stone skin. As they rise, the towers bend inward to form two deep-shadowed arches offering sweeping views of Downtown Burj Dubai.

'The selling point for office space today is accessibility,' added Mr Al Mansoori. 'Boulevard Plaza is located at the intersection of major road transport and metro rail routes and is near Burj Dubai, on its course to become the world's tallest tower; Burj Dubai Square; the Dubai International Financial Centre and the Dubai World Trade Centre.'

The tower will have luxury interiors and modern amenities including fully-controllable air-conditioning, fire-alarm and fire-fighting systems and hi-speed internet access. More than 2,100 parking spaces in nine floors will address parking issues and there will be pedestrian links to the Dubai Metro. The Podium Plaza on the seventh level will have retail and food & beverage outlets.

finally we can add it to emporis

Sunday, May 15th? eh`? when is this supposed to be ..

anyway ,finally launched..

What is the tall building at the left side? :cheers:

You mean the 2 connected twins on the left? I think they're some hotel, fairly ugly to me anyway, especially for their prominent location

they look like razors...the two to the left.

for boulevard plaza.. the rendering looks a bit distorted, no? the towers seem to have squarish footprints

Cool looking towers man!!

Here from www.burjdubaiskyscraper.com :

Cheers :cheers:

I like them...they're very different!

glad that they don't look like Emaar Typical towers :D

Multiforms wins Dhs150m deal for Downtown Burj Dubai project


Multiforms, an architectural façade specialist company and subsidiary of Emaar Industries & Investments, has won the contract for undertaking the cladding work of Boulevard Plaza, a commercial twin tower development within Emaar's Downtown Burj Dubai mixed-use community.


http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/0/46180-AnartistrenderingofBoulevar.jpg
Boulevard Plaza.


The project, worth over Dhs150m ($40.8m), involves the completion of 60,000 sq metres of exterior cladding to Boulevard Plaza's impressive architecture. Boulevard Plaza, due for completion in the fourth quarter of 2009, will add significant commercial space to the Downtown Burj Dubai community and form a spectacular and iconic addition to Dubai's skyline.

'This is an exciting time as we grow our business into key and international projects, further developing Multiforms' company profile. Undertaking the cladding work for Boulevard Plaza with glass metal and stone skin forms one of our most challenging jobs yet,' said Mr Firas Rifai, CEO, Multiforms.

'We are proud to be working with prestigious engineers and property developers to achieve excellent results and bring innovation to commercial property space within one of Dubai's best community locations.'

Boulevard Plaza is Multiforms' fourth project within the Downtown Burj Dubai development; cladding implementation is in process for parts of The Old Town development. The construction and infrastructural elements of the Boulevard Plaza project is being managed by Samsung Corporation.

'We are pleased Multiforms is on board for the Boulevard Plaza project. The innovative façade of the Boulevard Plaza buildings will include with a 'unitized curtain wall system' façade, giving it an incredibly original aesthetic value. It is the first time we are working with Multiforms and we are confident that the Boulevard Plaza towers' end result will appear as inspiring as its plans intended,' said Mr. Y.J. Byun, Senior Project Manager Samsung Corporation.

The towers will have luxury interiors and modern amenities including fully-controllable air-conditioning, fire-alarm and fire-fighting systems and hi-speed Internet access. More than 2,100 parking spaces in nine floors will address parking issues and there will be pedestrian links to the Dubai Metro.

Boulevard Plaza will be built on the elegant architectural mix that surrounds Burj Dubai Boulevard, a 3.5 km, 73-metre circular thoroughfare with restaurants, retail outlets and fashion stores. The towers are inspired by the veils and layers of traditional Islamic architecture and will be a spectacular structure clad in glass, metal and stone skin. As they rise, the towers bend inward to form two deep-shadowed arches offering sweeping views of Downtown Burj Dubai.

Once again, I have noticed that a subsidiary of a company will do the job by the same member of that company, for this instance, EMAAR the developer and then MULTIFORMS the curtainwall contractor, a bit strange, it just a problem of conflict of interest I guess. It's just the same story with ETA STAR properties (developer), ETA ASCON (main contractor), ETA MELCO (MEP contractor) and ARABIAN ALUMINIUM (CW contractor) doing the same project...Who will check the quality of the works done? Even if you have the client rep or consultants to check the works, in the end, the CLIENT has the last say.... just my 2 cents, a caution to investors investing in Dubai properties... peace....:cheers:

^^ So you are saying a client will tolerate a low quality job if it is done in-house, but will not if someone else is doing it? I don't think this is much of an issue.

all firms would try to cut costs as much as they can...quality is a different issue altogether
other contractors also have crappy quality sometimes...

Contracts awarded forETA Star's projects

Dubai: Property developer ETA Star has awarded contracts worth Dh470 million for two projects in the Jumeirah Lake Towers Gold Crest Executive and Gold Crest Views-2.

Dubai-based Al Meraikhi won the Dh250 million main contract for Gold Crest Views-2. ETA Star has completed the piling for the foundations and handed over the site to Al Meraikhi. The project is scheduled for completion by March 2008.

The main contract for Gold Crest Executive was signed with the Ascon Al Aweer joint venture for Dh220 million. The piling for the foundation is complete and the contract for superstructure work is expected to commence this month to meet a completion date of June 2008.

ETA Star also awarded the sub-contracts for Gold Crest Executive to several companies. ETA-Melco was awarded the lift package contract while the aluminum and glazing contracts were awarded to Arabian Aluminum.

The electro-mechanical and plumbing works were awarded to BK Gulf and the post-tension contracts were given to D. Haddad.

Gold Crest Executive is a 39-storey structure that comprises office space and residential apartments. Complete with a food court, shopping arcade and a host of other facilities, the project will be surrounded by lakes, verdant greens and landscaping.

^^

the above is a development of ETA STAR properties, and i have said, there will be no check and balance for this kind of project just because companies involved are subsidiary of the mother company itself, which is ETA STAR.

In the end, as what i have read in the forum especially in the Jumeirah Lake towers thread, most projects are delayed. Even blaming FORCE MAJEURE...:lol:

I have nothing against these developers, it's just that this is one of the reasons projects don't have the expected quality by investors and most of these projects are delayed. again, just my 2 cents.. peace...:cheers:

I am sorry. My post should should go to the Sky Majlis. Sorry again..

woaaaah!! how did they rise so quickly... last time i checked it was piling LOL

Could this be right?? !!!! If yes, awesome progress!!! By this speed they should topped out in July :lol:

So does anyone know what the pricing is for this building? I dropped an email to Emaar last week but no reply as of yet...

4800 per sqft and minimum price is 19 Million dirhams
each floor has 4 office

Thanks for that :) (although I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the price lol).

Apologies if already posted but this interesting article on gowealthy.com mentioned that they are predicting a further 30% increase in commercial property pricing this year. Link:

Just saw on emaar's website:
"Launching Investment opportunities in Downtown Burj Dubai on the 26th of April"

Anyone what this is about? Is it a new launch or something?

No new just events all old projects but some new units

just checked with them, they are selling the boulevard plaza T2 units at 4800 per sq ft since it was launched last month.. and they still have some units available. .not everything has been sold since then? wonder if they'll increase the price more than this.

latest prices for boulevard plaza:
5,300 per sq ft for non-burj facing
6,700 per sq ft for burj facing.

i remember someone posted that prices were 4800 per sq ft a while ago.. its pretty fast how they keep on increasing.

probably cuz of demand

anyone looking for office space in Boulevard Plaza, contact me

launch of some new units in boulevard plaza tomorrow, do you expect them to increase the prices again?

Latest prices psf Burj facing right now??

latest non-burj facing prices?

High-Res: http://flickr.com/photos/ian-thompson/2504575407/sizes/o/

any update on the prices?
Last time I heard they were around 5,300 per sq ft.
Does anyone think these prices are viable??

Ok, now this doesn't just add up!

Average office space size is 4000 Sft and at the current market value, that means it would cost around AED 20-25 Million to purchase it. If someone wants to lease out this space, it would definitely cost more than SZR which is currently at AED 600/Sft meaning AED 2.4 million per year.

Which kind of company would like to invest AED 200,000 or $54,000 per month, just as RENT! Add to this maintenance costs, running costs, staff salaries etc which would just amount to an insane amount of money! Other than the Fortune 500 companies, i don't think anyone would be willing to spend this kind of money.

Arguments?

Construction updates?

Actually 22 million is the cheapest unit available, the rest of the units are 24million++
and handover is expected next yr august 2009.
I think once the area becomes vibrant, especially once the Dubai mall opens in August, people start coming to the area, then the prices will shoot up.
and if oil prices stay above $145 and continue to rise, I bet most of the end users in these buildings will be companies from the Gulf..

I don't think addition of the blue panels adds to the facade. It should just be an all out silver cladding like in the renders.

What's the black one??

Looks like a plan change and also a new thread header as there are now three Boulevard Plaza's

:hm:

Is there a plot with a board or similar??

Stephan, Emaar rarely put up boards.

I had a chat with a few Emaar reps today about the model content and how accurate and he did admit that there were some dummy models.

The pic below is across the Boulevard from The Mall, and only two according to Emaar are theirs, with the remainder being part of Business Bay.

Emaar seems to be going all out! those towers seem very packed in.

^^ Should be the way in a "downtown" anyway.

Emaar seems to be going all out! those towers seem very packed in.

Not all Emaar, and not accurate in model design, or building quantity.

T3..when are they going to launch this??

Most of them i believe are generic; just to fill the space.

cladding started on the installation better then Burj dubai tower ...:nuts:

Cladding has indeed started and it has progressed allot on both towers but on the side opposite Burj Dubai only.

I think the cladding looks great.

it's not cheap glass for sure

The cladding is the best part of the tower. Wait till it's all done; it's going to look STUNNING.

Ok, I don't get it. Why are the floorplates lagging behind from one side in both towers? They seemed to be building full floorplates througout the whole construction process, then they started lagging behind, which I thought was temporary, but now it seems to have gone into stagnation.

i really like the cladding BUT i think the building would look better if they have put more blue cladding palens on the lower parts and the higher they get the less blue panels, that the tower gets a smoother look the higher they go.

:okay:

Check out the smaller tower. It looks like there is a small amount of progress there.

Yup, malec, you are right. The arches at the top weren't there on april 17th. U/C then.

why I have this itchy feeling that those two shouldnt be here at all!
they look more like marina style than DTBD

No wonder why were seeing no progress on these,, The few workers that they do have on site, spend there time making Youtube videos. :lol:

Apparantly one of the towers will be completed whilst the other will merely be cladded and left as an empty shell...

Apparantly one of the towers will be completed whilst the other will merely be cladded and left as an empty shell...

Why would they do that?

Why would they do that?

The same reason for having stopped the other developments, though i think visually these building would stand out much more if they are not completed so they will ate least have the appearance that they are completed.... im guessing that perhaps the building which will be a shell only was not sold by Emaar and so rather then spending money and then trying to sell or lease in the current market they are better off using that money elsewhere...

Compare these two renders - it seems the lower section of the structures, possibly the parking garage - has different themes going on with cladding... and neither seem to match up with the photos. Anyone know what the final outcome will be?

I'm hoping they do the cool glass cladding, like on the towers.

Is there any progress with the cladding? I can't I see any.

^^ If you see, there is no progress on the structure on top and there is still scaffolding there, so it will be practically impossible to progress with the cladding on those areas ... even if the will and money would be there.

Looking this morning there is still progress in particular with the cladding.

There is a very clear line where the new cladding meets the old dirty uncleaned cladding that has been there for a while.
