Beiruti April 27th, 2006, 04:59 PM I thought it would be nice for us to pay some attention to the this tower as well, since it has been literally and figuratively overshadowed by the Marina Tower...
I am actually starting to really like it!
Does anyone have any articles regarding this tower? I would like to see some interior renders as well.
I tried to crop and post from the pics we already had of the Marina, but please post any additional ones you might have!
B-Patriot April 28th, 2006, 06:42 PM Coool... These towers only decided to come up when i left...!!! :bash:
Cuz when i was there last year, i never noticed any interesting towers... Only in Ashrafieh i remember there are a few nice low rises..
But now Beirut seems to be getting towers, which is good... And the location is very appropriate... I think Beirut could use a few more still, cuz itt seems apartments are grossly overpriced, soo maybe the answer is to increase supply...
Jayme April 29th, 2006, 04:57 AM Dose the Beirut towers have a website like the marina towers
Beiruti April 29th, 2006, 08:45 AM ^^That's a good question... if there is one, it hasn't been publicized well because I haven't found it. If anyone has a link, please share!
Skyline-BRN April 29th, 2006, 08:52 AM I noticed an Emaar Billboard. Is this tower being built by them or do they have other propjects in beirut?
Beiruti April 29th, 2006, 09:09 AM ^^Its actually an illusion, the Emaar billboard is actually quite far from the building. They are not involved in this particular tower but their billboards are ALL over Lebanon because they are planning projects throughout the country.
Lebanese Cedar April 29th, 2006, 06:38 PM ^^Its actually an illusion, the Emaar billboard is actually quite far from the building. They are not involved in this particular tower but their billboards are ALL over Lebanon because they are planning projects throughout the country.
Emaar is not planning any projects in Lebanon at the moment.
They launched an aggressive advertisement campaign two years ago to promote their projects in the UAE.
Beiruti April 29th, 2006, 06:46 PM ^^at the moment.... but I heard they have big plans for the future, they just wanted to start by getting their name out.
Beiruti May 3rd, 2006, 02:47 AM Bumping for updates? For those of you in Lebanon now, has much changed yet?
Nadini May 3rd, 2006, 03:20 AM got this....

Beiruti May 3rd, 2006, 03:29 AM Wow, another amazing pic, I can always count on you Nadini!
Whats going on on the far left? Is that the Platinum Tower rising???
Nadini May 3rd, 2006, 03:42 AM I'm not to sure, doesnt look like cuz the platinum is a bit further.... unless it is an illusion but I've already heard that the platinum tower is under construction right now
Lebanese Cedar May 3rd, 2006, 04:37 AM Whats going on on the far left? Is that the Platinum Tower rising???
Yes, that's it.
arzliban May 3rd, 2006, 05:37 AM I have a question: In between the Marina Towers and the Beirut Tower, wat is that building with the red-roof top?
Nadini May 3rd, 2006, 05:40 AM the little red roof topped building is the All Saints Aglican Church, it looks so tiny
Beiruti May 4th, 2006, 07:57 AM I really wish we could see a recent frontal-view pic taken from one of those boats in the marina!
Also, it looks like the Beirut Tower is going to have more than 26 F ...hmm (I counted 29, and it looks like its going higher, but I dont know I could be wrong)

nareg May 8th, 2006, 03:27 PM Maybe these great photos are due to the camera and not my steady hand....
Jayme June 6th, 2006, 01:38 PM any updates of Beirut Tower ? or it still the same
Beiruti June 6th, 2006, 05:54 PM Thanks Nareg! But yea I wonder if it has changed much a month later?
nareg June 6th, 2006, 06:49 PM Welcome. Long time no talk. I've been busy with my studies.
I guess nothing much has changed.
grzes June 6th, 2006, 09:44 PM ^^ I counted 29 the render looks like 28/29. It's looking great so far! Can't wait to see some completed pics :)
nareg June 9th, 2006, 06:12 PM Today I passed from Omar el Daouk Street by car. I saw Beirut Tower from behind. Counted the floors, it was 29. They were building the roof.
abbass June 9th, 2006, 09:43 PM guys i read in the solidere qartely report on the last site of it..that a new beirut tower is going to be build...........
Lebanese Cedar June 9th, 2006, 09:47 PM guys i read in the solidere qartely report on the last site of it..that a new beirut tower is going to be build...........
Yes, it will be built immediately to the east of the existing Beirut Tower.
nareg June 9th, 2006, 10:46 PM I must not post it over here, but today again I saw that they have started works for Deep and Town Towers, just behind Monroe Hotel. Nothing further is available yet.

It's actually called Dib and Town Towers now, I don't know why they renamed it.
Phoenician Empire June 9th, 2006, 11:18 PM wow - nice building
Hassoun June 10th, 2006, 12:16 AM NICE,thanx lebanese cedar for the pdates,Nice building :)
Nadini June 10th, 2006, 01:14 AM ^^ Me to I agree but then again, this is one render and not the complete one, wait for the 3d one then we can judge :)
Hassoun June 10th, 2006, 01:22 AM Exactly nadini,and i like the idea of having a twin tower in Beirut.
LeB-iT June 10th, 2006, 02:58 AM This area of dt Beirut is gonna have a nice concentration of high-rises...can't wait to see it finished
Jayme June 10th, 2006, 03:35 AM there cood b Better render's then that like a 3d one or a render shows what it will look like in the streets of beirut
abbass June 11th, 2006, 01:18 AM somebody has something about the new beirut tower?
Jayme June 11th, 2006, 01:27 AM when was this released

Nice Pic! So is this topping out now? Can anyone confirm the number of floors yet?
Jayme June 17th, 2006, 01:55 AM that area can look better if the holiday inn was fixed
Nadini June 17th, 2006, 02:08 AM Nice Pic! So is this topping out now? Can anyone confirm the number of floors yet?
yes this is the top for the Beirut Tower, i counted 29 floors last time...
nareg June 17th, 2006, 12:38 PM Yes. They reached the roof. 29 floors...
Phoenician Empire June 17th, 2006, 12:50 PM i am know a little bit confused bacause on the site of emproris it s written that this tower will have only 27 floors.
Did they change the number of floors? or is this a mistake from emporis?
http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/ci/bu/sk/li/?id=100351&bt=2&ht=2&sro=21
Nadini June 17th, 2006, 04:34 PM ^^ Libano emporis is not really a reliable source, sometimes the builders decide to add a few more floors, that is very common
Jayme June 17th, 2006, 04:49 PM i know they dont update as much
how can Builders make new floors dont they have to flowo guide lines n rules
Nadini June 17th, 2006, 04:51 PM ^^ not sure, it is always common in Ottawa and Dubai, maybe it was always 29 floors just we get the info wrong
Jayme June 17th, 2006, 05:01 PM im wondering what time is it in Lebanon now ?
Nadini June 17th, 2006, 05:03 PM 5 oclock why?
Beiruti June 17th, 2006, 05:14 PM :lol:
Jayme June 17th, 2006, 05:36 PM mm woundering im waiting to c if any if any of my cusins n friends will come online

Lebanese Cedar June 22nd, 2006, 09:57 PM naregkar,
It's too bad you didn't photograph the rendering of the Bay Tower (also called New Beirut Tower) that will be built right next to the Beirut Tower. I passed by it once and was surprised to see the rendering, but I didn't have my camera with me.
nareg June 22nd, 2006, 10:41 PM ^^ I am going to upload that one's pic later today. But I was confused what to name it!
Bay Tower or New Beirut Tower?
Solidere calls it New Beirut Tower whilst there it's written Bay Tower.
Lebanese Cedar June 22nd, 2006, 11:27 PM I would assume the real name is Bay Tower and that it was just provisionally being called New Beirut Tower.
nareg June 22nd, 2006, 11:33 PM ^^ Okay. I guess it would be 106 metres. Isn't it?
Lebanese Cedar June 22nd, 2006, 11:37 PM I have no idea. Is that what you read?
nareg June 22nd, 2006, 11:44 PM Nothing had been written. I got this info from Solidere's reports.
The report is this (http://solidere.com/solidere/pdf/existingmaster05.pdf) one. The info is available on page 31, second paragraph to the right of the two pics.
Lebanese Cedar June 22nd, 2006, 11:45 PM Ah yes...
Jayme June 23rd, 2006, 01:08 AM Beirut Tower looking Great
Beiruti June 23rd, 2006, 09:33 AM Just a thought on the name of this tower...
Why should this random, simplistic, residential tower be given the honor of being named after the city? I think if a tower is to be named after Beirut it should a significant multi-purpose tower that can be an icon for the city (think of Burj Dubai and others).
nareg June 23rd, 2006, 09:40 AM You are making a good point Beirut!
To the best of my knowledge, Beirut Tower is one of the earliest ones in Hotel District to be bought (in terms of land). Maybe the owners proposed this name and at that time Solidere approved it.
source-26 June 23rd, 2006, 09:45 AM are you sure they arent the same one?
its the same architect and the design between this new beirut tower and beirut tower
look almost identical..
nareg June 23rd, 2006, 09:52 AM They are different ones.
Beirut Tower is on Mina El Hosn 1401 whilst Bay Tower is on Mina El Hosn 1422.
And one more thing, I was there yesterday...
Beiruti June 23rd, 2006, 10:05 AM Source, you are right in that they look similar and that is because of the same architect, etc. But they are not the same tower, I think we can consider them non-identical twin towers?
Hassoun June 23rd, 2006, 11:25 AM WOOOOOOOOW,thanx nareg. :)

LeB-iT November 4th, 2006, 09:55 AM ugliest building in BCD :(
Nadini November 4th, 2006, 09:56 AM ^^ its nicee, what are u talking about, wait until the facade comes in place
LeB-iT November 4th, 2006, 10:00 AM no even with that...it just doesn't fit in the environment like the MT does
Nadini November 4th, 2006, 10:03 AM ^^ The MT is unique thats why lol, the design is just wow, but the design for Beirut Tower is quite pleasing also, its not exactly a box, it has small curves and different angles, which is pretty nice.
LeB-iT November 4th, 2006, 10:18 AM it's just too fat...if it were twice its height it would've been better
Nadini November 4th, 2006, 10:32 AM ^^ lol if only!!! We wish, maybe soon in the reclaimed land :D
Hassoun November 15th, 2006, 05:45 PM UPDATE:

Phoenician Empire November 15th, 2006, 07:52 PM oh what a nice tower. Beirut! you are right the last picture looks fantastic.
Hassoun November 16th, 2006, 02:54 AM BTW,those are the final renderings of the tower.I wonder how time it will take for this tower to be totally completed!!!!!!
Lebanese Cedar November 16th, 2006, 03:04 AM Nice renderings Hassoun. What website did you find them on?
Hassoun November 16th, 2006, 03:10 AM lol,actually found them in my email inbox :S
sent to me from(lebgroup list).
Lebanese Cedar November 16th, 2006, 03:17 AM ^^Interesting...
A while back I was looking for high definition renderings of the Beirut Tower, but could not find any. I was able to find ones for the Marina Tower, Platinum Tower, and Four Seasons, but not this one.
Jayme November 16th, 2006, 04:07 AM the Back of it looks cool

It looks like the spire will face a park in the second rendering. However the first pic shows the spire facing a 1 level podium with a water feature.
Beiruti November 18th, 2006, 01:27 AM ^^ Oh yes youre right, it seems the second pic is not the backside but rather the right side. I have no idea what will be there but it is very close to the PT so I dont know if that is realistic.
nareg November 18th, 2006, 11:54 AM ^^ Yes, that is realistic. Check Platinum Tower's renders and it will be clearer what it will look like. Check this (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d184/rhmud/Lebanon/5dvcd.jpg) one.

Beiruti January 13th, 2007, 02:36 AM ^^ Isnt that the location of the Bay Tower?
Hassoun February 15th, 2007, 09:03 PM When i was watching Future tv news tonight,the report on the projects in DT area,i noticed some works on the FACADE of Beirut tower,,i donnu,maybe Nareg. can confirm this or not.
nareg February 15th, 2007, 09:17 PM ^^ Yes, I realised that too.
I guess that was from the back or one of the sides.

nareg April 29th, 2007, 11:37 AM I guess we won't see the green covering removed at least 6 months from now. Notice works are going for the balconies. Still, the right side of the building is untouched.
Did you notice that they are removing the crane attached to the building?
Beiruti April 29th, 2007, 05:24 PM ^^That side will remain untouched for a while it seems, since the Bay Tower will go up directly attached to it. It seems that narrow strip of green in the center of the side of the building are not windows but rather an opening to connect the two towers?

nareg May 2nd, 2007, 09:43 PM It seems that narrow strip of green in the center of the side of the building are not windows but rather an opening to connect the two towers?
Actually, it useless to make balconies on that side. Maybe alike opening is designed for Bay Tower. On both sides, there would be "glass curtains" so that residents see the corridor of the other building. Maybe that side is dedicated for the stairs. Check this (http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/6769/1422683020eb7ef4f76o8nc.jpg) image originally posted by Nadini. You see there is an open space.
the top circular(dome like) part is going to be Black ??
That is not the case according to the renders. Most probably that is a cladding to support the building from rain, humidity and heat.

Beiruti July 11th, 2007, 06:14 PM ^^ Yes it is!
Nice catch, I believe this is the first time we see the glass on this tower and it looks great!
Nadini July 11th, 2007, 07:02 PM so that means that in this picture, that's the glass on the right correct? I thought it was the green nets, lol good eye Beirut_guy

WOW!!! This is looking really good and it's going look much better! Can't wait for it to be complete!
Hassoun August 7th, 2007, 07:47 PM WOW ,,, LOVE THE FACADE.but actually it doesn't look like one in the REnders :S it's BETTER.Can't Wait As well :banana:
Beiruti August 7th, 2007, 08:05 PM ^^ Actually it looks exactly like the rendering, but just make sure you are looking at the correct side of the building. In Leb-It's picture the angle is from the right side (not front or back):

Hassoun January 2nd, 2008, 04:49 AM ^^now that's the cranes are for the dana,where exactly Bay tower supposed to be built?behind The dana?this is kinda confusing :S if it's the Dana,why did they designed the facade of beirut Tower facing the dana in this poor way?the dana is just 9 or 10 floors high.
Beiruti January 2nd, 2008, 04:56 AM ^^ No, the angle of this pic is confusing. Go back and look at the aerial maps and see the plots. The Bay Tower will be attached to the Beirut Tower.
nareg January 2nd, 2008, 02:12 PM Those cranes belong to Capital Plaza (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=365916) and Garden View (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=441354).

Beiruti February 10th, 2008, 06:13 PM ^^ I think it is final. This looks a lot like the rendering so why are you so surprised?
LeB.Fr February 10th, 2008, 06:18 PM ^^Yes, the shape. But the color...it's a bit beige in the rendering..
Beiruti February 10th, 2008, 06:22 PM ^^ Yes, it might be due to the lighting...when the sun hits the building it will look much brighter.

Hassoun March 2nd, 2008, 02:23 PM ^^Well,Surprisingly enough , i started to Really Like this Building.Those Close up Pics showed inetresting Details on this Building.But I guess u can only like this Building when u r so Close :D
@Rabih :the Bay Tower is Gonna make this Building So Chubby :S :D U r right,we actually can consider the two towers as ONE HUGE CHUBBY TOWER. but again Beirut Tower Doesn't look that charming from the right angly.oh,and thanx for the pics :) ya3teek l 3afyeh :)
Nadini March 2nd, 2008, 07:11 PM So is that the Bay Tower under construction in ur last picture Rabih?
Beiruti March 3rd, 2008, 04:41 AM ^^ No, that is the Garden View. I am not sure though if that is also the Capital Plaza u/c as well...
Rabih, did you get close enough to see which or if both projects were rising? I know for sure that the Bay Tower has not risen above ground-level yet.

Thanx, I actually like cruising around that area and taking random pics, the street in the 2nd pic is going to be my fav street in Beirut once the towers are completed (right now it's the street in Sanayeh area between ministry of interior and the Sanayeh park with the nice shading trees :))
Nadini & Beiruti:
The bld u/c is Garden View, ur right bay tower hasn't risen above ground yet (I dont want it to, it's gonna look like a parasite)

houssam April 5th, 2008, 06:30 PM i kinda dont need to see what the toilets turned out to be (it's kinda ugly BTW) ............ i dident like it that much at the beginning and i thought the name "Beirut tower" should signifies something better ..... but it turned out quite nice .... it's not 100% completed tho.. the front needs a little bit more work i guess
Hassoun April 12th, 2008, 02:20 AM I guess we can say it's Completed Guys :cheers:

Nadini August 12th, 2009, 06:12 AM ^^ it's considered completed, i've seen people moving and living in the building already. I just saw a report for the Marina Towers showing that there's people that did move in and some other parts of the building it's still empty because the tenants are decorating the interior of their home.
Beiruti August 12th, 2009, 04:50 PM ^^ That's what I suspected - I'll update the thread status.
