Have they refitted the form work?

Hi Morris,

Thanks so much for the map mate!:) I'm wondering what the design for Princess Tower 2 will be like... Hopefully it will another 100 floor tower at the least.

Hi Tate,

Here's what I think it the latest Marina plot map- December 2006. The Waves are in the bottom left hand corner. Not sure where Princess 2 will go as there's not much room. I wonder if it's to be a supertall again as would seem odd in this end of the Marina. (Perhaps I'm mistaken and there's another Waves Tower somewhere, there's a Wave Residence announced at the Dubai Waterfront ?? ).

Anyone know if the form work has been put up again?

Yes it has.

other color, size or something?

same, white one.

Princess tower appears to have moved up a basement floor ... i think there will start being more visible progress soon.

^^ Hope so too!!

Great pics Imre!:) Why was the form work removed to begin with? Good to see that the core seems to have moved up as well.

^^ Hi Tate :)

...are you buying at Princess????

^^ Hi Tate :)

...are you buying at Princess????

Hi Parisian Girl,

I dunno, I still can't make up my mind on this one... I am looking towards buying at Pentominium, Elite Residences and Princess Tower on that super-tall block but I won't make a final decision until Jack figures out which way he's going on that block... for obvious reasons. Jack's looking towards Burj Dubai and Palm Jumeirah also, so there's much to discuss yet. I know for definite that Anastasia will be buying at Princess Tower though...

Oh almost forgot to tell you Parisian Girl, don't forget to call Anastasia before thursday as she will be leaving for Rio on business.

Hi Babe;) :)

Listen, i spoke with Anastasia earlier today for like three hours and she gave me all of your details so i can't thank you enough for that ! i will call you later on today and we can catch up properly. i really miss the girls and can't wait to see them all again.

Anastasia confirmed what you said, she is buying at Princess. i think Kaori and Yuki are as well ? not absolutely sure about that though ?

Princess Tower is beautiful huh ?:)

^^ Ever heard of private messages? Wonderful thing, you should all try it some time.

^^ Ever heard of private messages? Wonderful thing, you should all try it some time.

Ever heard of minding your own business? wonderful thing, you should all try it some time.

They can read PMs you know ! i don't discuss my business, or especially Tate's in public. besides, i have now received everything i need.

I much prefer a phone, ever heard of that? none of your business, for the record, i really needed to "clear" certain things here first before going any further with Tate.

You surprise this guy, or Jack and you'll be heading for Valhalla a lot sooner than you might expect ! simple rule: you don't even get to talk to Tate before it's cleared with his staff ! it is true. that's all i'm saying.

Now if you don't mind, i need to sort some things out concerning Princess Tower ! that is what this thread is all about.

I think the point being made was that this is turning into a "chat room" rather than being a "forum".

Yea thanks for call morris, got the groceries you wanted, oh derek says hi

What the hell is this crap that has ruined the thread? Blah, blah 'we're important', blah blah 'we can miss-use the thread if we want' blah.

Forum rules apply to everyone, take your private investment discussion elsewhere ... you're impressing no-one.

Not directed at you Morris, honey ;)

I am worried about you Tractor, you agreeing too much with Morris these days :lol:

By the way, what did you have fot tea:lol:

I think the point being made was that this is turning into a "chat room" rather than being a "forum".

Didn't you read my post? i said i couldn't talk with Tate "directly" before talking to him here first. you don't know his family and if you did then you would understand.

I don't want to cause problems here, i just wanted to sort some things out with him first. there was no other way i could achieve this. i'm NOT going to keep talking about this here so no worries, i have now what i needed as i talked with Tate personally this evening.

Parisian Girl, everything is cool, we straightened all this out earlier, you have my details, and Jack's, so that's it! ANYTHING you want to say to me in future concerning business, family or whatever then you know what to do!

I'll take care of the \--\ /--/ \\//, and you just remember what I told you earlier!;)

Anyways, Princess Tower will be an excellent choice for you. I think this tower will be completed by 2010. Should be anyway. Brilliant location on the super-tall block! I wonder if Princess Tower will beat The Torch to completion?

i'm NOT going to keep talking about this here so no worries, i have now what i needed as i talked with Tate personally this evening.

Eric Cartman says "praise the looooordah!"

i feel bad about finishing i donno why !!

^^ What do you mean bizzy?

i mean tameer is sick without any history of luxury even the paper of brochure give me so many conclusion plus all that bulidings he own it at ksa lead me to say that ....IF ganna be luxury from what iam feel it's only exterior not interior ....and i hope iamn't ....at the end see alseef tower at tallest block u will know what i mean .

^^ Yes, I see what you mean. Surely not...:ohno:

Thanks Imre

I'm glad to see that DS projects' now used as a benchmark..:)

What benchmark?

Is just some kind of bet between forumers to compare the progress between the two, being neighbours

Well guys, no-matter which one gets topped out first, Princess or The Torch, I just really hope that the interiors of Princess Tower get a LOT of TLC and are as good as I am hoping. I'm gonna be extremely disappointed if they're not...

^^ What's TLC?

^^ Have a guess ;)

Believe me, I have. But, since I still don't know, I asked. Can I have an answer now, thank you?

Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match, often abbreviated as a TLC, is a type of professional wrestling match originated within World Wrestling Entertainment, but can be seen in other wrestling variations.

History

The TLC match is a variation of a ladder match with a particular emphasis on the use of the three most popular "foreign objects" in wrestling. The TLC match usually pits three or more tag teams against each other, but is available for a one-on-one match. The goal is to acquire the item (usually championship belts) which starts the match suspended above the ring. A TLC match can be seen as a more complicated ladder match, where tables and chairs, along with ladders, can also be used as legal foreign objects. This, compared to the relative ages of the wrestlers involved, gives the match an atmosphere similar to that of a hardcore match.

[edit]
World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment

WWE adapted the matches to make it known today as a TLC match. The idea of the TLC match in WWE had its origins in a tag-team ladder match for the managerial services of Terri Runnels between Edge and Christian and the Hardy Boyz at No Mercy 1999, with audiences giving all four wrestlers a standing ovation at the end of the match. The move catapulted both tag teams to the top of the tag team world. The following months had the Hardy Boyz face the Dudley Boyz in a tag-team Tables match, which had similar success.

The three teams would be known for their three respective foreign objects, as well as the hardcore wrestling styles associated therein: the Dudley Boyz often had a spot in their tag team matches where Bubba Ray Dudley would say "D-Von, get the tables!" when a table spot was imminent; the Hardy Boyz, in singles matches, would challenge main-event singles wrestlers (such as The Undertaker) in Ladder matches, considered at that time to be the "signature match" of the team; while Edge and Christian developed the "Con-Chair-To" finishing move, which involved the two hitting an opponent's head simultaneously with chairs. Eventually, the three teams were brought together in a Triple Threat Ladder match in WrestleMania 2000, in what would be the forerunner of the TLC in terms of the spots involved (tables were involved in some of the major spots, even though it was technically a Ladder match). It is incorrectly referred to by some fans as the first TLC match.

The first TLC match was contested between these three teams using the weapons (and to a lesser extent, the type of match) that they had made famous at SummerSlam 2000. These TLC matches frequently involved members of these three teams, and are largely remembered for the dangerous stunts, injuries, and length. However, the TLC matches slowly met its end when Edge and Christian broke up and Jeff Hardy was released. Additionally, the matches that have incorporated more weapons created an overall trend of increased concussions and neck injuries that plagued the WWE roster, and as a result, led to the return of a more traditional mat-based style of matches. Although the tables remain, to this day, a Dudley Boyz (now known as Team 3D) gimmick, Team 3D is virtually the only tag team to use it, and thus table matches are now few and far between. Chairs were reduced to their former roles as a mainstay form of interference and disqualification in wrestling matches, while ladders and Ladder matches are now used every once in a while.

The second TLC match occurred at WrestleMania X-Seven the following year, which also sprung the infamous Swanton Bomb off a 16ft ladder by Jeff Hardy on Rhyno and Spike Dudley. These matches involved the three aforementioned teams, with each having Edge and Christian winning. TLC III occurred on the May 24, 2001 edition of WWF SmackDown! when the tag team of Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit had to face the usual other three tag teams in order to retain their tag team championship, which they did. This TLC is sometimes referred to as the Forgotten TLC due to the fact that there was no hype prior to the match and it was on TV.

The fourth TLC match, TLC IV, occurred on the October 7, 2002 edition of RAW, where four tag teams had drawn, as a result of "Raw Roulette" (where the match type of every match of the card was determined by spinning a wheel), a TLC match. The match saw defending champions Kane and The Hurricane putting their World Tag Team Titles up against the teams of Christian and Chris Jericho, Bubba Ray Dudley and Spike Dudley, and Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam. Being the veterans that they were to the match itself, general manager Eric Bischoff allowed Jeff, Christian and Bubba Ray to choose their own partners, as their former parters Matt Hardy, Edge, and D-Von Dudley were absent from the RAW brand at the time. Before the match, The Hurricane was assaulted backstage, leaving Kane completely alone in the match. Despite this, Kane managed to retain the titles.

On the January 16, 2006 edition of RAW, WWE had its fifth TLC match, the first in over three years. Edge successfully defended his WWE Championship against Ric Flair. It was the first TLC match to be held in singles competition and the first to have the WWE Championship on the line. It also marked the first (and only to this point) TLC match where a wrestler has "bladed" (Ric Flair bladed). This also marked the second time there was a TLC match in Raleigh, North Carolina.

TLC VI was held at Unforgiven on September 17, 2006, where John Cena won the WWE Championship from Edge in his first TLC match.No. Match Event, Date and Location

[edit]
Extreme Championship Wrestling

ECW or Japan (it is disputed as to where it began in its current form) is where TLC matches started but were referred to as tables & ladders. In other promotions, the TLC match has quite the following, appealing to a niche market within professional wrestling. However, the term "TLC" itself was trademarked by WWE, thus other promotions give different names to these types of matches despite having an identical setup. In more hardcore-style promotions, the chairs were often replaced, or were used alongside, chains.

One example of a variation of the TLC match is the Tables, Ladders, Chairs, and Canes match. This match is a TLC match with the addition of Singapore Canes. The most notable match was at ECW Guilty as Charged on January 7, 2001 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, involving Steve Corino, Justin Credible, and The Sandman.

[edit]
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling

TNA Wrestling used a variation of the TLC match called "Full Metal Mayhem" as a bout between Jeff Hardy and Abyss at TNA Against All Odds 2005. The added stipulation to the match was that "anything metal is legal", though this only included the use of Abyss' trademark chain and bag of tacks. In reality, anything is legal; it's just that TNA provides tables, ladders, chairs and chains.

Abyss defeated Jeff Hardy by climbing the ladder to retrieve a contract for a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on a future episode of TNA iMPACT!. Abyss was never granted such title shot, and the story was retconned to state he lost his title shot to A.J. Styles at Lockdown, even though the shot Styles won was used at Hard Justice and not on iMPACT!, though Abyss would later get title shots at Slammiversary and No Surrender that year.

TNA used the "Full Metal Mayhem" match again at Sacrifice 2006 on May 14, 2006 when Abyss went one on one with Christian Cage for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Cage defeated Abyss to retain the championship.

[edit]
Wrestling Society X

WSX used a variation of the TLC match called a "Tables, Ladders, and Cervezas" match, where the match ends in a pinfall or submission. This match debuted on the February 13, 2007 taping.

^^ Wonderful shot Imre :) Everything looking good here :banana:

You guys are retarded!

Except Imre of course.

True Blue, are you around? It looks to me that this has two slip-forms ... one for the core and one for the exterior of the tower (not inc. the basement/podium). Is this right?

^^ It seams so.

The tower was supposed to be build out of steel and this might show that plans are changed (probably steel prices increase might be the cause) and they are going with reinforced concrete instead, however they may still build with concrete the underground and podium section and then continue with steel.

We just have to wait and see.

I always thought most tall structures were Concrete, whats the advantage of using steel for this say over concrete..........True Blue where are you when we need you

Rose Rotana, and SWFC are both examples of buildings with concrete core and steel floors.

a steel construction is faster than concrete. Another point is that a steel structure weights less than a concrete structure. This is because steel is much stronger than concrete, so you can use less material.

^^ Also less columns = more usable and more flexible space.

Hi guys..... Im new to this forum, I live in Bangalore India I own a 2 bedroom apartment in Princess Towers 85th floor. I would like to do a re-sale on it....it was bought 18 months ago. I have just spoken to a few real estate agents in Dubai for it to be listed. Could you advice on what I can expect per sqft.
Thanks,
Ranjit

^^ hi there and welcome to the forum.
Just to tell you in advance, those kind of questions aren't encouraged here since this isn't a real estate site but an architecture and construction forum. Sure people talk about certain things such as interiors, etc but no buying and selling of apartments here.

a steel construction is faster than concrete. Another point is that a steel structure weights less than a concrete structure. This is because steel is much stronger than concrete, so you can use less material.

^^ Also less columns = more usable and more flexible space.

So, why use so much concrete (as do most towers in Dubai)? Is it cheaper to build with concrete (reinforced) than steel?

^^ Yes, it is cheaper and also building with steel needs a more qualified work force.

A concrete structure is more rigid that an steel one and most supertalls are built out of concrete otherwise they'd be bending and swaying too much at high levels.

A concrete structure is more rigid that an steel one and most supertalls are built out of concrete otherwise they'd be bending and swaying too much at high levels.

Steel structures are more durable, and can be built to a more exacting tollerance. The big BIG problem is fire resistance. Concrete can withstand fire for much longer than steel. When steel heats up its rigidity is severely impaired.

The twin towers were constructed of a steel space frame design covered with plasterboard to provide the fire resistance. We all learned how effective that combination proved at resisting the heat of an intense fire.

Excellent photo Nick L. Princess Tower is coming along very nicely :)

one of the fastest towers in the world :)

Not that impressed since the core is the easiest / fastest bit to do. They are way behind on the base.

^^Who cares about the base. With the cores speed plus the speed of steel construction this thing will be done in no time. They should do more buildings like this in dubai.:banana:

what!!!

Seems Tameer are just as poor as Select, in fact construction progress here is slower than the Torch. What a disgrace, Tameer should get their act together, fancy treating investors like this, surely they should have delayed payments by now. This tower was launched over three years ago with completion in 2009 and they're not even at ground level after all this time. They're way behind. As for compensation, forget it. I wouldn't trust them one inch. What a poor show. Anybody who thinks this is going to be completed on time are out of their minds. More like 2012. Just look at Iris Blue and how quick that went up, why can't Tameer do the same. What else have this company built in Dubai what sort of record do they have ? I doubt the quality of the fitments will be any good, with construction costs going up they're bound to save money and cut corners. As for the Marina views they're going to be a waste of time with the tower stuck on the corner like this, a very poor location. I'd sell and get out while you can.

Morris,
You on the Christmas punch already :)

poor location?!?!?! front row looking at the palm jumeirah and the tallest block this is the best location now marina views will not be great but other views will be phenomenal. As for quality. the building is pretty bland but its talllllllll and thats good lol.

Buddy are you on drugs?

He's just peeved 'cos people (including me) have been posting that kind of thing in the Torch thread (not sure about the other DS threads).

Lovely Xmas message Morris (edited just after midnight), good job! ;)

Well are you saying all the stuff I've said is untrue ??

Look I'm sick of everybody saying how wonderful progress is here..............after three years.............it's a case of the Emporer's new clothes.............takes somebody like me to stand up and say the truth..............it's PATHETIC.








(Surely there's somebody that's brave enough to agree with me or are you really all brainwashed by the likes of Tractor ?? )

^^ It will still be completed before TT though ... long before. :D

Tammer like DS might not have a track record, but ACC unlike the incompetents at DCE, have an excellent record and experience on building skyscrapers.

Well they're just as slow at it. In fact they're worse !!

And built before TT, what gives you that idea ?? ........ certainly can't be the current rate of build.









I'll mark you down as being brainwashed then. :lol:

I'm not sure what your problem is Morris? You're attacking this tower simply because I post in the thread or what? Or because you've worked out that TT's view is going to be ruined by Princess, Emirates Crown,etc.?

I'm not aware of Tameer lying in their sales material and only investors can tell us whether Tameer have been good/honest about progress and changing their payment plans (unlike some in TT who have paid 90% before the podium was finished). Maybe you should ask them?

Now that construction has started for Princess they are moving far faster than TT, so at least they are making an effort to catch up / reduce delays. I don't know how you can post bullshit saying they're slower than DS.

Also are you 100% sure they were selling this tower 3 years ago? AFAIK it was just launched as Al Ameer (or similar) and then re-announced as Princess. I don't know when sales started. Do you?

Lets see where the towers are compared to each other in 3 months and it should be even more obvious which developer is better at fulfilling promises.

PS I have no interest in either tower so am impartial and brainwashing no-one. I've been in Dubai for the last 3 months watching progress every day. You are clearly biased.
PPS Merry Christmas Mr Scrooge

Have a look at the first few pages of this thread, it was at Cityscape in November 2004.

Getting sensitive and upset are we ?? Don't like it.....now that somebody else is posting some negative stuff ??


BTW I'm a Jehovah's Witness (if you know what that is ??) so leave the Christmas stuff out please.

There are plenty of things that go to Cityscape and are not released for sale - when did sales start? Know anyone that invested here?

I don't care if you post negative stuff and am not upset in the slightest ... but if your aim is to upset me then leave Princess investors / enthusiasts out of it.

Your faith is truly enlightening, thank you for sharing. I'm sure they'll be proud of your attempts to bully people on the forum - good luck being one of the 144,000

Are you serious Altin.

Really you're saying in two months time Princess will be ahead of TT ie. that's at least 5 above ground podium levels built. Plus TT will hopefully have some residential floors built by then (if we're lucky).

I bet you 100 Dirhams TT is still ahead by 25th February......... Up for it ??

^^ I'm all for it, but first we have to clarify what "ahead" means.

^^ I'm all for it, but first we have to clarify what "ahead" means.

How about number of completed floors from ground level, this includes the podium levels as well. Competed would be walls in place of the top floor we're counting up to, plus concrete poured for that floor. eg. if we're looking at TT now it would be counted as 5 floors completed. The winner pays the loser into their Paypal account. How does this sound ??

^^ What if Princess is way ahead in normal floors but not finished with the podium? They are building the podium around normal floors so that they don't have to wait to finish it before they can shoot ahead with the normal floors, so they can take their jolly well time with the podium....

Well are you saying all the stuff I've said is untrue ??
(...)
(Surely there's somebody that's brave enough to agree with me or are you really all brainwashed by the likes of Tractor ?? )

I am neither brainwashed or willing to fight for this, as I have not invested there, am not planning to do so, or actually care which one is faster, but as a skyscraper fan I'm watching closely the progress of the superblock towers, and you are plain wrong. Just look at the photos in the threads.

In January TT had it's floor slab completely in place, and since then they have managed to get out of the ground, build the podium and a tiny bit of the core. Princess, on the other hand, didn't even have the piling completed in January, yet it managed to finish it, build the slab, underground floors, more core than TT, and even some of the tower. Yes, the podium is missing, and I'm not saying that it's ahead ot TT at this precise moment, it just seems that they have done more in the past year here, than DS on their property. And I think that in six months the difference will me much more visible, it favor of the Princess.

Then again, we will just have to wait and see. I understand that the issue is hot if you're an investor, but chill out a bit, people.

You're obviously well and truly brainwashed - your facts are plainly wrong - the floor slab for TT was not "completely in place" in January. They started pouring the slab on Thursday 26th April and finished on Saturday 28th April - you need to take a look at the photos again on the TT thread.
(I don't need to as I was there that week watching them do it).

Post 644 on this thread shows the Princess slab being poured.....and the date.........15th June.........only six weeks later. Now I reckon Princess is way more than six weeks behind the Torch and these dates show what incredibly poor progress is being made here by Tameer. But no doubt I'm the only one who can (or who wants) to see this.........the King's definitely got no clothes on. :lol:

" but as a skyscraper fan I'm watching closely the progress of the superblock towers " :hilarious

^^ Ok, let me put it another way, as I may not have made myself clear in the previous post for technical terminology reasons. Princess in January - piling not completed, sand in pics. TT in January - concrete slab in pics (even if that's not the slab you were referring to from the structural perspective).

And that funny thing you found in my sentence? Let's laugh together, explain to me the humorous situation. Or are you just full of shit trying to attack anyone in this thread?

"In January TT had it's floor slab completely in place".

So now you're trying to say this meant something else. I give up !!

^^ What I meant was the concrete on the bottom of the excavation site in case of TT, and sand in case of Princess Tower. Concrete seems to be a little bit more advanced than sand in the pit, don't you agree?

Progress on this tower has been very good considering that they have very little space to work with. I know of another tower nearby that has had the luxury of acres of space around it to store and unload materials.

Princess tower main construction started 3 months behind TT and the progress looks better compared to TT back in September.

For a direct comparison, in 3 months from now I can easily see the podium complete and 10 residential floors on top. Maybe even more. The question is, will TT have 10 residential floors to show us in 3 months from now?

^^ I would think so since the difficult bit has been done in the Torch, the rest will be very fast. The downside is that DCE seem to be balancing their workers with 23 marina. However, I would say overall, taking everything into consideration the Princess Tower is behind the Torch. I would expect that the Torch will be complete well before Princess.

^^ Steve, lay down the wishfull thinking and come back to reality please. ;)

^^ Steve, lay down the wishfull thinking and come back to reality please. ;)

To my untrained eye I think the Torch is pretty much ahead if you consider the amount of rebar laid and concrete poured. True the Princess core is a few floors ahead but that dosen't match the amount of work that has gone into the huge TT podium. I agree TT is one of the slower towers in the Marina but PT isn't exactly shooting up as claimed by many on this thread. The slabs of both towers were only 6/7 weeks apart but to me it appears that it may take a lot more than that to complete the podium even though it is much smaller than the TT podium.

Altin> Can you confidently say that ACC can complete a 101 Floor tower before the 84 floor TT even though it is behind at this stage? Also bearing in mind that TT is approaching the "Cut and Paste" part fo the build.

I'm not picking a fight just want to hear your reasoning.

Look at how PT is managed on the construction side. They are split into 3 operations most likely with their own teams. Core 1, Core 2 and floor gangs.

The floor gangs are a bit behind the rest of the operation as they have much more to do in comparison to the core gangs. The central core gang have got it going nicely now and are shooting ahead(cut and paste if you prefer). They may even have to stop to assist the floor gangs just to even things out. Eventualy they will soon be on the repeating residential floors and it will all happen fast with the obvious teamwork going on here. This is how to do it successfully, break it down into components and assign sub managers with their own resources. Everyone knows what to do and when to do it.

None of the above is evident on TT. Core goes for a few weeks and stops while they move to floor construction for a few months. Then they will go back to a couple of lifts on the core while the remaining labour go to push The Point on a bit. I call this hospital construction, concentrate on the most important bit now and ignore the rest until something else becomes more important. Let's hope the patient doesn't die.

The race is on !

I think at this point The Torch is a tad bit ahead if you count everything together. But the fact that there can even be a debate is remarkable, considering that Princess laid the slab several weeks after Torch. It has made up a lot of ground in a very short amount of time; and continues on very fast. The fact that the podium is being built separate from the floors also saves them a lot of time. I have to say, that by Feb 25 or whenever it was that the gauntlet was laid down for, it will be clear to everyone that the Princess is well ahead of the Torch.

(just my :2cents:)

Did you not learn anything from your "name the floor competition", DCE resource problems are not going to get resolved overnight. I am sitting on the fence on this one :)

end 2005 tower launch complete
end 2006 piling and groundwork complete
end 2007 basement and podium complete
end 2008 40 residential floors complete
end 2009 80 resdentialfloors complete
end 2010 tower internal fittig finished

Jan-Jun 2011 handover

most likely scenarios barring any major disastor :)

Cute ^^ IMO the hare is PT and the tortoise is TT... The Tortoise will lose this race!

Wait for about three-to-six months and everyone will see which tower is clearly ahead. IMHO PT will be completed before TT.

^^ Of course the hare will be PT ... it is taller.

Thank U :)

Hi there. I am a purchaser of an apartment in Princess Tower. I originally signed up for my apartment in May 2005. I would be grateful to have contact with other owners, so we can all email each other during the stages of construction.

I have found it to be beneficial for owners to be in contact with one another as we all have the same interests. i would love to here from anyone. My email address is st_77@msn.com

I look forward to meeting other PT owners

Have a great day

Why is progress so slow here and why are they only working on the lift shaft ?!

I could be wrong but the podium seems above ground level now and tower is lvl 4ish ... they are still catching TT.

Can someone with the knowledge comment on the construction method here. The core shot up and not much else seemed to happen. Now the outer construction is moving up around the core, - but are they using two seperate slip-form systems here - one for the core and a second one for the perimeter - it certainly appears so? Not sure where I read it but I thought this building was going to be using a lot of steel construction?

Grateful if those with construction knowledge can enlighten us dullards with some comment on how this tower is being built? Apologies if it has been covered earlier.

Whatever method they're using - progress seems good. I had thought - as someone else had commented - that they were rushing ahead with the core to give everyone a positive feel about progress, but that in fact the more complicated podium works were a long way behind TT for instance. In fact progress seems good all round now! Are they ahead of TT; - anyone have an opinion on that?

It seams like the central core is on the 18th floor at least. Thanks for the pic. :cheers:

Tractor, would you be so kind, if you have the right angle, to take a pic of the Elite Resident site?

Thank you very very much!

I recon they're about equal. I don't think a high core means much, since I saw one go up 17 floors in 3 weeks! However this one is gaining some mass. It seems they build the core, the tower and the podium seperately.

Most important thing is that progress is very good here :)

Great photos guys.

TAMEER signs landmark finance agreement with Dubai Islamic Bank

TAMEER Holding, the region's leading real estate company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Dubai Islamic Bank, the leading financial institution in the UAE that provides Shari'a compliant products and services, whereby the bank will provide home finance to buyers of a number of TAMEER's projects across Dubai.



The contract sees the cooperation between two of the UAE's leading institutions come together in a strategic partnership that will facilitate the home buying process for both individuals and investors.

In accordance with the agreement, Dubai Islamic Bank will provide home finance to buyers of five of TAMEER's current projects, namely the Princess Tower and Elite Residence both located in Dubai Marina, the Palace Towers in Dubai Silicon Oasis, the Imperial Residence located in Jumeirah Village and the Regal Tower in Business Bay. Further plans are also underway for TAMEER's other Business Bay project, the Silver Tower to be added to the list.

Omar Ayesh, President of TAMEER Holding, said of the agreement, "We are pleased with the confidence that Dubai Islamic Bank has shown in us and in our vision for the continued development of the region's property sector. At TAMEER, we are all about building true homes, and the support of institutions of this caliber resonates with that vision. We are proud to join hands with Dubai Islamic Bank in helping homebuyers realize their dreams."

Omar Ayesh added, "Our alliance with the UAE's leading intermediaries, not only reflects the growing maturity of TAMEER as one of the region's most noteworthy realty company's, but it also displays the high level of confidence our organization has garnered from our industry's pears."

On the other hand, Mr. Nasser Al Awadhi - Senior Vise President, Head of Branches, DIB said, "It is with pleasure that we welcome Tameer to join our panel of approved developers. A partnership such as this holds many benefits for all involved and we look forward to enabling our mutual customers to achieve their dreams of having their own homes."

Sorry guys, meant to say "fitted out" :) I know the core can rise quickly, and judging by the present speed of progress the entire structure certainly looks like it will be completed by 2009, but could we still be looking at another 2 years from now for PT to be completely fitted out?

Thanks anyway guys.

No movement on the core since 22nd? They maybe concentrating on getting the floors done. Still a smidge behind the Torch IMO.

Does anyone have an accurate plan of Princess Tower and the buildings around it so I can work out what view to expect from an apartment.

Please post it on the forum and I'll find it ok.

Still nice to see it rising!

Good to see, this progress cant wait too see it finished....:)

They are up at 19 F

They are up at 19 F

Wasn't PT on the 19th floor almost two weeks ago bizzy? Have they slowed down, or what? :dunno:

They've slowed down for sure ... but I think thats because they're focusing on the podium (2 floors left). They also have recently had some pumps/pipes installed for pouring the concrete for the tower walls so that might have held them up for a bit. I think it will start moving rapidly again now. A lot of concrete was delivered yesterday PM!

Hope they will go faster again if the podium is done!!! :hm:

Thanks for info Tractor :cheers:

Shouldn't be much longer finishing off podium then, then they can get back to working on the core :banana:

Du u know if podium is close to completion yet bizzy?

I *think* the top of the podium is nearly ready to be poured (hard to tell from the angle I see it at). It is also worth noting that the tower itself is now 4/5 floors above the podium level.

In my opinion progress is still good and should really speed up in 2 weeks or so.

^^ Hopefully it is, then progress can resume at full speed on the core again very soon. :cheers:

Yea, my gut instinct tells me the same. Pity in a way that that front line of towers on tallest block [Princess, ER, etc] wasn't constructed on opposite side of that road, much closer to the sea, and by doing so they could have secured a permanent sea view for the occupants of these beautiful buildings. Too late now anyway.

I've always said progress was slow here.

on the first floors above ground the core was quite fast

^^

Yeah i coud never understand why they let the core go up so far infront of the main slab like that.

Maybe some of the crew had a sweep stake on what the height of the core would be by eid.

Paul you are right very little sun. I have had this conversation on here befor re sun by the pool and people claimed you cant sit out in the summer anyway. Complete rubbish, we sat by the pool all day last week at the GH in 40 degrees min. Even that deck area shades around 3pm and is in relative open space, only 45 floors and you still have to shift the bed to follow the sun. God only knows what kinda shadows 100 stories will bring.

All the projects are gonna be slown down.
Nothing to do against it.Its becoming very difficult to work with this crissis and the cost of row material.
I think the main contractor is raising claims to the client, until being approved the work will go slow for sure.

3 floors since June 7th and already doing externals ... going fast imho

agree malec, i expected something better

the core is on the 22nd floor, good progress of the cladding works, pics on the flickr.

ACC seems faster than the DCE , compare the 23 Marina or Torch.
