12 more hours/day to update the map dazz :D
no seriously, thanks for all the efforts! :)

Image has been amended with the suggestions made by AltinD...cheers. :)

Also the location of the Torch has been changed (hopefully more accurate), the 110 storey proposal has been added on a site at the rear of the block and the JMC and Al Fattan towers in the distance have been completed.

You just know that the DIMC boat park is prime land that will be built on.
OOOPS Le Reve, there goes the view!

Had a bit of a doodle on this one as all these buildings together sound awesome. With credit to Soennecken's fantastice aerial of the marina.

Great work.....thanks for the credit

that's greaaaat picture larven!
now tell us how did you do it???

with some 3d application? you placed aerial photo as texture on 2d plane and buildings are 3d objects textured with rendering pics + added some mask?

(map updated)

mhm i am not sure if these plots on DIMC will be built up that soon?
who owns this area? we had some discussion a long time ago...

I'd prefer it if they spread out the supertalls across the marina. It would look way better. Just take a look at Chicago's skyline. The reason why I think it looks so amazing is because of the way the supertalls are spread out, each rising above the smaller towers underneath. Having them clustered together like that makes each tower lose its effect and becomes "more of the same" IMO. None of them dominate this way.

true

Im bored.

if somone gives me a decent sattelite photo of the marina, ill make it into a map like Dubaiflo did for SZR.

you could use the one by soen, but there is no real good satellite shot of the marina.

i will get the marina plot map by HOK maybe, my friend wanted to send it to me.
but it isn't much better than the one we have.

ive found a photo, and begun work.

however im having problems trying to upload stuff at the moment, so ill see how it goes.

guys,

our work is so great that people even steal it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

everything is stolen from our website! :eek:
even the tower names. i swear they never are able to find out all this alone!!!!

check this website and look how they have stolen dazz plot map and with our help they're able to locate towers on the map

http://dubaiproperty.ru/property/projects/dubai_marina/

I hope you let them know that we are on to them!

yeah tell it to them.
we could all write a letter and see what they say...
that is 100% stolen.

Kick their asses!!!:D

BTW i saw 3 towers coming up next to al sahab complex, they r all fenced in one territory with one fence,and i think its being built by emaar, coz the cranes carry their logos.

that's marina quays!! finally!!

http://tinypic.com/dxmkw5.jpg

very nice picture..
and you can actually see that there is a reasonable gap between marina terrace and grosvenor.
so it might be ok to put another tower in there.

Exactly. The gap looks reasonably large for another tower to go there

^ On the website of the developer, there's a render showing on that specific plot, a 15 - 20 floors clone of Grosvenor with the half-top chopped off.

Cool picture :D

we already know abt that one it is in grosvenor thread i think. but i thought it will be in front of grosvenor.

Respond to the marina thread in the main UAE forum (The thread was locked :()

Seaview and seaview, its good anyway. I hope they build a loot of green are/parks/plazas. Still very close to the sea and its nice to live in the middle of 200 skyscrapers :D.

What building is this?

The location is obviously oposite Al Fattan Twins, on the other side of Marina.

The building next to Marina Scape.

we should do immediately.
it is called N2 tower.

No its 23 marina and an unnamed residental tower.

ah may i post this in world forums.. :D
i will do anyway.

Guys, I need your help - could someone tell me which plot "9RR" is on our map?

is this a plot name of the official plot map?

Yes, I believe so - should be near the Marina Terrace and Roshana

but the emaar map usually the al marsa code + plot as far as i know.
there are 3 different ways of how the plots are named.

why do you want to know that? maybe we can help then?

The plot is for sale, am trying to work out the exact location

it should be between marina terrace and grosvenor then?

no, i think its on the other side of MT - awh well, nevermind

could be A1p then.

the problem is our map lacks of buildings there.
the rest is pretty correct though.

dazz
A-6 is a tower named ALAREIFI MARINA witch is next to Supreem tower A-7.
the tower is 4B-30-roof Resedancial/comercial.
website,www.alareifimarina.com

why isn't that one in our map?
it is not new? eh?

dazz, you're the laziest forumer :D :jk:

please update the map :)

New today Marina Suites - A5 (I think)

The plot between Marina Terrace & Grosvenor House, is boarded and have "Iris" written on it.

this is iris blue then. the E&V tower.

No activities on the site though.

map D, plot 1h is miramar

ok, another update for the marina today.
thanks a lot for your efforts :)

4 things

- it is just too dense for a res project, no doubt.

- a lot of apts occupied in the finished projects, did not expect that :)

- any updates on the nasa multiplex project?

- any updates on the large plot in the middle (the marina mall!?) ?

:cheers:

Was wondering, how occupied are al seef and the marina phase 1 towers cos above, there doesn't seem to be any lights on in those towers?

of course the buildings are not yet full
both are maybe 50%
it was late afternoon, not completely dark as the pics suggest!
but who wants to live there now!?

on my trip i had to walk pretty much because the marina walk at the phase 1 was totally overcrowded, no parking spaces at all!!! so i had to park somewhere else to take pics for the upper marina

interchange 5 finally is completely demolished and you have to take the ibn battuta mall exit when you want to go home to emirates living coming from abu dhabi

the situation is shitty right now, too much construction and prices too high for these conditions

are you talking about rents?

both rents and sales prices

well sales prices for the projects are ok imo.
the new ones like TGR and infinity are top of the line, best you can get , remember that.

if the marina was completed then yes
but at the moment it's not worth the money

well of course but the stuff you buy now, which is released now isn't ready before 2007 anyway

Maybe after looking at the Emaar service charges they decided it was cheaper to turn the lights off. :-) :jk:

I think that once the marina is finished, there will be more people moving in there. Right now, it is still one big construction area with a lot of noise and dust...

Has somebody an idea of the service charges on a average at the Marina?

average maybe ... 8/ sqft. hard to guess. between 4 and 15.

I suppose a lot of these will be bought as holliday homes where it'll only be occupied a month or two per year

http://tinypic.com/fxuyl5.jpg

I have reported before for activities in the aerea between Mag218 - 23 Marina and SZR. From the map we can see that this aerea has plots for building also, so what we see on the picture above, can't be but a tower.

Marina Gardens anyone? :tongue3: :D

or probably it's just part of the new interchange
still, not too likely

No, no, it has nothing to do with the interchange. Is exactly where the plots are and the aerea was occupied, months before the work on the interchange started.

they removed the stuff there ages ago.

i would say these will probably turn out to be towers.
nevertheless they could also prepare for the mall which is likely to be built there...

do you guys have any render / info on the dubai marina mall?

I don't think this render is really what's going to happen--but could offer a clue. Info: It seems to be a go--reportedly letters given to nearby developers stating as much. Location: between MAG 218 and Marina Pinnicle, filling a t-shaped area in that block.

there are rumours of another mall in the centre of the marina, there is a huge plot UC without boards.

There is indeed - I saw it on Emaar's model ... a big square building 1/2 way down the marina length next to the water

:redx: ??

Very nice update! Thanks! :cheer:

One question, Are these towers allready under-construction?

I don't see any tower, i see only the Jumeirah Beach Residence.

just check the threads in the dubai marina forum
most of them are under c already

various are approved and have not yet started construction but we know their location

:hahaha: sorry. http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=577

oh dennis was faster :(

dazz please add Emaar 2N tower and rename Al Ameera to Princess :)

I have edited a map I found online to make it useful for anyone wanting to place their own Dubai Marina landmarks. I am adding the photo link to this post but I don't know if the image will be visible.

If the image is not visible it can be downloaded from Dubai Marina Maps (http://mag218maps.blogspot.com/2006/01/dubai-marina-map-template.html).

be aware this map (the pdf) is not fully correct.

"PDF not fully correct"

I noticed this as well--some building locations wrongly identified and obviously translated from Arabic as many Arabic names for towers are used when the English would probably more appropriate.

you could add the dec towers
they're right next to the belvedere

quite a big plot

ah right forgot them. what about lootah?

Excellent work flo. A few more omissions, however....The Atlantic - between the bridge and Marina Mall - The Pacific - other side of the Marina opposite Marina Sail / Yacht Bay - and Trident Grand Residence by Le Royal Meridien.

is trident grand the plot just next to that occupied plot next to JBR (think it is storage for machinery etc)?

Flo, TGR is the plot immediately opposite the Royal Meridien - behind the new electricity sub-station!

sorry point it out to me where should i move the red box.
i checked their video again and my conclusion was this must be the location.

Flo, As requested, the red box shows the TGR location. The inset pic shows part of the site behind the hoarding,

a drawing for the marina mall in the Marina Heights area, it is wrong in some aspects and called marina phase 2.
it is old of course, the marina was still called westside marina back then.
interesting though.

The Miramar tower, a 40-storey luxury project in Dubai Marina being developed by Al Rostamani Group and the UK's Connor Construction has been shelved, reported Arabian Business. The developers blamed legal problems for the cancellation of the high-profile project. Only five apartments are believed to have been sold, and clients will get their deposits back.


Sorry was not sure if ok to put here

Only five apartments are believed to have been sold

only five apartments sold! oh man :lol:

Maybe it never launched and if it did no wonder it got shelved they could have given them all 8 floors each, that would be an apartment and a half.

Don't think gowealty have read the papers they still selling in the tower.

any body know if the view on the 3oth floor in marina heights toward the sea would be blocked by the torch or any other towers in front of it

You'd probably be able to still the sea between JBR and infinity tower

forum members
what is the top 3 towers in the marina, where u can get 2 bed rooms with either a unobstructed marina or sea view within 1.2 million AED

The Torch, Princess and Infinity.

within 1.2m AED?

Trident Grand and Infinity for sea view, but i cannot give you the prices.
+Marina Heights and maybe the torch for marina view
and MarinaScape 3Bdr if you want both ;)

also, the phase 1 might be worth a look for both marina and sea view, but these will be too expensive..

You definitely won't get a 2 bed in Infinity for that amount. The marina views will probably be better from the Torch anyway.

many thanks, looks like tough to get something nice in the torch tho, hesitant between marina views and marina heights , any suggestiones!!!!

1.2 AED only gets you a 1 bedroom in infinity on floors 21 and above, but you won't even get that as all 1 Beds sold out and so a 2 beds will be more expensive if thats the price on 1 beds.

Anyway i got my 1 bed infinty for just over 980000 AED and i'm hoping i'll get a sea view of a sort. A bit difficult to tell of plan what you'll actually be able to see, But i'm happy :)

many thanks, looks like tough to get something nice in the torch tho, hesitant between marina views and marina heights , any suggestiones!!!!


marina heights, even though marina views will be cheaper.

dazz
do you still update this map?

I'm new, so my apologies if I am stating the obvious somehow or not following proper "etiquette". I'm part of a group of US based graduate architecture students who have recently just visited Dubai for a very short four days in order to gather information for a semester long project. There is some AMAZING info on these threads that I am sure my classmates and I will be culling over and over... THANK YOU!

I was curious if there is any CAD based information or even 3D information on any of these development areas explored in these threads?? It would be great to get some sort of 3d "massing" model of any of these areas, however crude. I know we would all VERY MUCH appreciate any help in this regard. Nonetheless the info on this site is phenomenal so kudos to all who pitched in on this. But if you can help, please!

Thanks! :)

I'm not sire of Cad based info but if it's an overview of what one of these new areas will look like then there are a good few models.

torch VS. marina heights any suggestiones, where would you buy and why???

:runaway:

that's a veeeeery dangerous question..

it depends on when you want to live in the apt.

Marina Heights, completed in May2006, buy Marina View, you will have a amazing view and will perhaps even see a bit of the open ocean..
The apts have premiums already, but are not that expensive of course.

Hurry up, once they are completed and the freehold law passes, prices might increase again.


The Torch, also, only Marina view, which will not be thaaat great compared to Marina Heights, but still good.

Completion end 2008, and i think it has a very good payment plan.

Do you want to rent it out?

How many Bdrs?

Does anyone know if there are more towers to be built next to Infinity Tower along the mouth of the marina towards the sea? Is there space for another tower before the road? Thanks

there is space but i doubt it will be built up, we also heard they might build a bigger bridge there.
(look at the current bridge which is curved)

Nevertheless the HOK map shows more plots there...


BTW:

THE PLOT IN THE ROUNDABOUT HAS BEEN BOARDED :rofl:
http://k43.pbase.com/o4/93/329493/1/56425482.DubaiAerialsFeb06188.jpg

Thanks for the info.

How many supertalls will be approved in the tallest block in the future??

How many plots are for them?

i think there are 2 plots left now. in the area where marina heights/Princess/Ocean heights etc are, if that is what u r talking about.

Forget making something on the round about.. they should just flood it and link it with the marina!

btw here is an old map showing a marina extension.

it was a proposal by HOK while phase1 was UC.

http://www1.file-upload.net/28.02.06/mkck91.jpg

^^ Doesnt show up..... btw flo i think it's time to update your map with all the new releases over the past one week

^^ Doesnt show up..... btw flo i think it's time to update your map with all the new releases over the past one week

will take care of it today or tomorrow. uploaded the pic again.

Where was that extension intended to go, Flo?

you don't recognize the area ;)

it is where the marina heights, the torch and the t shaped mall are.

next to the phase 1 towers.

if you have a look about the towers, the plots in the map are about right, not 100% of course.

you can see the R/A and the sales centre next to the marina.

here is another version:

http://www1.file-upload.net/28.02.06/r3l1d.jpg

flo - got some work for you :D

the plot map is great, just a few corrections from my side


the plot you have indicated as lootah complex is also under c
this is where the unnamed 16 storey tower from national engineering bureau, we have a thread for this one


wrong locations:
panoramic - on the other side of the marina exactly opposite kg tower
lootah complex - on the other side of the marina right next to panoramic
al areifi marina - on the plot between manchester tower and marina park

la residencia del mar - location is correct, but it occupies the whole square left of the third bridge (basically it's in the 'b' of the yellow word dubai)

the jewels - your red square should be 3 times bigger, it's reaching from next to la residencia del mar till 0.5 cm in front of this "provisional bridge which no longer exists" opposite kg tower

then next to the jewels there only is the 16f unnamed res building by national engineering bureau, nothing else

:lol:

well it has been more than half a year since i have been there last time :D

i also have to edit infinity's location and perhaps add the damac tower.

i will edit this today or tomorrow.

Good work dubaiflo

The tower located where Lootah is wrongly indicated is called Dorrabay. I think the next one back towards the marina is Dorra Tower. The Jewels occupies the next 2 plots, J and K. Then as you know its La Residencia Del Mar. They are part of the same group that are developing Infinity, which is strangely on the other entrance channel. Possibly the developer identified that boats sailing in and out may be more interesting than boats parked up.

I have been watching this forum for 1 year now from Scotland. Hope you don't mind my comments / contributions.

oh nevermind and welcome to the forum

what is your interest in dubai?

i will check the map later and dubai_lover has to confirm these locations.

Another omission to attend to Flo - The Marina Promenade.

yes yes yes i will take care of everything, just be patient.

ok three things now:

1) The unnamed 16F next to the waterfront,
dennis is this just one plot above?

2)Dorra and Dorrabay Tower?

are those two different?

Dorra tower should be the first plot in the marina, where now lootah is?

here is the updated map:

^^ You forgot Royal Oceanic and Zumurud

where is zumurud?

i asked in the thread but you didn't reply yet ;)

and yea, u cud also remove miramar since it's been canceled

what is your interest in dubai?

I own a 1 bed in The Jewels over the pool. The 2 beds were far too expensive for me so the agents contacted me when Dorrabay was being launched so I have reserved a 2 Bed with prime marina view. It also has a view of Palm Jebel Ali although that could change as more towers are launched. Its nice to have somewhere warm to go in the winter.

All being well the drone of the bagpipes will be heard in the marina this new year!

http://www1.file-upload.net/02.03.06/dwz1cv.jpg

ok now? :)

yup thanks... wow wot a fantastic location for zumurud... great 360 degree views :sleepy:

well this is what some towers might face due to emaar's great plot map :D

well ary marina view and marina sail are not too tall, so the upper floors might have a nice view.

this is the only good thing about this map, most of the taller ones in this area are behind the small low rises.

but not everywhere of course. see marina pearl.

btw you can see the plot next to the sheraton, this could be the location for the proposed jumeirah royal falcon :naughty:
would love if this thing is going to be built :)

why is marina diamond 2 so isolated from rest of the marina diamonds?

no idea, i heard diamond investments owns 10 plots in the marina.
so we can expect 4 more MDs ;)

not sure why the 2nd one is down there and not close to the others...

At the moment MD 2 does have a some sort of a neighbourhood like Waves, Marina Park, Marina Pearl, Dreams, Belvedere, etc, while MD 1 stands kind of alone. Though when the towers keep getting built and with the rest of the MDs together it will be different for the MD 1 also.

:runaway:

^^ Look at the BLUE board surrounding the Emaar's Sales Center site.

Im pretty sure its not one plot and infact three plots as the original plot map suggest. The blue board is probably only for the purpose of demolishing the sales center and making three plots out of the car park and sales center combined.

i think Krazy's rite!

R

but it looks like not all three plots are boarded at the moment.
i also think the blue boarding is only for demolishing the sales centre.

I reckon this is going to be a hotel - would make sense

Latest ariel shot of the whole of the Marina...how gorgeous does this look with the Palm!!!

http://i2.tinypic.com/s67swy.jpg

when was this taken..naz

ooooold already :D

yeah but nice shot. it will look amazing. that is for sure.

It's my desktop background!

it's anything but "latest".... this is about 6-8 months old

rather 3 months.

Going back to the Emaar sales office being fenced off - I've been looking at various maps/photos and i think the office actually sits on TWO of the three outstanding plots in front of Torch/Marina Heights. Looking at the shape of the plots I would presume the central one is the only one 'square' enough to have a 40-60floor tower on it ... its also not likely to totally destroy the views of the other towers.

You have to think that one or two of the plots in this area will be used for more 'services' for the residents in this 'mega block' - the 'Marina Walk' area is already busy and there are 3/4 towers just about to be completed!!

Can't wait to see what's going to happen!

just look at the aerial above, and you will see there is enough space for three towers. also, the services/shops etc will be built in the integrated basement which will strech to the al seef and 23marina towers.

hehe
this is what dubai marina could have looked like :D

Dubai Marina - Concept Master Plan Dubai, United Arab Emirates - 1998
These illustrations are part of a concept package produced during a two week period in September 1998 for Emaar Properties, PJSC - Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This competition was a collaborative design effort with HOK - Toronto, Canada, as executive architects and WATG Architects Newport Beach, CA.

A City with in a City, Westside Marina was conceived to be a community of over 150,000 residents containing the best elements of urban living in the 21st. Century. Like many of the great cities throughout history water played a central role in the planning. The concept involved the building of a Grand Canal that provides a focus for each element of the plan. The Waterway and marinas comprise approximately 20% of an 1,140 acre site to the South of the City of Dubai.

Design Consultant to WATG Architects:
Responsibilities included Lead Design for WATG Architects during the competition phase of the project working closely with the HOK design team assisting in the development of the central themes of the concept. This role involved the development of the concept Hotel Sites along the beach and extended peninsulas as well as around the Main Basin and Urban Center. Support of this effort included the overall Concept Illustration.

^^ i think the tower in the middle is a proposal we know of.

i wish they'd join JLT and Marina

me too! it would have looked so cool! but they still look quite good tho!

Sorry about the pic guys, it got sent to me as part of a bundle of "latest" pics from Dubai, this yesterday!

I used some great shots by Sonic to analyze emaar's madness in marina...

9AB is Trident Grand

9C is Royal Oceanic

9UU is Roshana

9J is most probably going to be a small shopping mall/recreation area

few things I can't understand...

How in the world can a tower fit into OS-4 unless "OS" stands for "open space"

Have a look at 9-TT... How tiny is it?

Also.. looks like whatever it is that's supposed to be on 9RR looks to be under construction with all that mess on the site? Or does all that belong to Roshana..

Also 9HH seems to have somthing going on

the pics are relatively old already though.

so perhaps these plots are in fact UC now.

as you say, 9TT can't be another tower... no way.

OS is open space, i am convinced now. 9 is the dubai marina district number.

i also think it won't be too bad.

two towers between GV and MT, yes, that is ridiculous, but looking at those photos and how small/slim some towers are, it won't be too bad.

another one

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/vtalibaba/72f85dda.jpg

any idea what's gonna be between marina heights and torch?

APT 5D surely cant be anything huge because its a small plot!

yes... it's A5C and A5E people should be worried about.... ironically these are the two plots that threaten torch and marina heights the most

Also looks like at the end of the day.. torch is gonna be in a sort of hole... the supertalls right in front... a potential high rise on A5C.... then another potential highrise between torch and marina heights... and marina pinnacle on the other side... unless ur on the extreme high floors... you're probably gonna get the "JBR" feeling of suffocation

From that pic it seems people with 05 apartments will start get a very good view of the marina from the balcony especially.

Krazy, dflo thinks it will be a low rise so could be part of a Mall as originally thought. What is that filled in yellow semi circle ?

the semi circle is probably gonna be a half round about... definitely not a plot

The plots are just too small i cant see them being big high tower rises!

I wouldn't be so sure. They love their skinny towers in Dubai, look at the rose rotana suites for example (it does look great though :D)

A5D could be a yatch club maybe?

actually they are not that small.. compare them to the plot sizes of torch and marina heights in the picture and u'll see what i mean

A5E is a huge plot - bigger than MH and Torch plot. I can see a 50F-60F going in there.

If A5D is a low rise it wont be too bad for Torch and MH but somehow I think it will be 40F and the other 2 plots 60F

Pointless speculation

Whatever they put there it will be a shame to loose all that greenery and the trees and fountain.

^^ true.

the three plots are all big enough for highrise.

but i doubt there will be a highrise on the plot between MH and TT.

Thechnically the little half circle could go as well. There are roads all around so no need for a mini roundabout! So that would make all three plots large.

Such a shame, not least coz the area of these 3 plots is already pretty well landscapes. Why cant the cunts just leave it be? greedy bastards. I'm sorry but thats the truth of it.

how long has that sales center/green area been there? for how many years? i remember during sheikh zayed's time it was forbidden to cut even a single tree

Too right Naz greed has got to them. A nice communial area like a park would have been a nice touch, with a nice modern type mosque for tourists to see and the residents to use. Thats what i think.

Is Marina gonna have ANY mosques at all?

Such a shame, not least coz the area of these 3 plots is already pretty well landscapes. Why cant the cunts just leave it be? greedy bastards. I'm sorry but thats the truth of it.
Because it's Emaar why else.

BTW will there be a mosque on palm jumeirah? I remember seeing an old render with a mosque in the middle

Time for part 2... dazz do your thing
