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!

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...

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.

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.

Nadini

the little red roof topped building is the All Saints Aglican Church, it looks so tiny

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)

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?

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

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

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

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.

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?

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?

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.
