from meed back in april:

DP is planning to build an office tower complex known as the Hanging Gardens. The project is understood to involve the construction of 10 office towers. The UK’s Hopkins Architects is the consultant (MEED 3:3:06).

DP rocks.

Architect's website (www.hopkins.co.uk) doesn't have ANY info at all. It just says "contact us" for projects info.

LOOOKS SUPER GREAT!!!!

Whats the prices?

looks very media/internet city like....

R

that indeed looks very nice
is there any chance to find out how many floors each of the 13 buildings has

i'd love to add them to emporis

Looks very interesting. I like the idea of a super gym.

I like it, the design of the buildings remind me of the type of stuff going up here in Ireland, although it's done much better here. Also the placement of them corresponds to my plotmap, except for 3 extra ones.

The bad thing though is that this thing takes up 9 tower plots :D

perhaps emaar should take a lesson on how to build good looking low rises (if they ever decide to expand greens)

i'm sure these will make a nice addition to all the super high-rises and all the other towers

I like these, actually reminds me of some Low rises being built in Manchester UK.

But i'm not sure how close the High rises are it might not be good living in there shadows.

I will try and give that floor information to you guys.. give me a day or so...

Hello Rishi , please can you forward the info.

Thank u

I like it too... BB has some very nice designs already!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/vtalibaba/0b39490b.jpgLooks great, eventhough I was expecting a bit more "Babylonial" style do to the project name..

^^ the name is only temporary and will change either on launch or soon after that

The massive hole is where this project should be:

^^ Yeah, I saw that as well; so this makes them under construction. :cheers:

Finally launched! Name change!

Starting prices 2300 AED Sqft office

I actually like it as you could live and work their, just a little expensive. Plus I actually think we don't need more towers, just finished developments.

2300AED ... puh, what are these people thinking ??? There is no space left for price increase, or do you guys think upon completion of the first phase in BB we will encounter prices like 3000AED per sqfet ??? I mean, where is the investment encouragement? Maybe I am totally wrong ...

Piling nearly finished, lots of work going on..

234sale, thanks to you all overseas investors know how BB is coming along on a regular basis. Much appreciated. Is that beautifully landscaped park with the gazebos along the water actually going to happen (part of this project?) or just thrown in the model to improve the look? If it is gonna happen then GREAT! BB needs more green areas.

Anybody know when they will start selling the residential units? Any chance for a small investor to get one or two?

New images on boards

Consists of a hotel, art gallery, shops etc etc!

Created in the wishfull thinking days but not much purpose for the very distant future.

I couldn't see one worker on site today.. not even security! The place looks deserted!

Work is slow but ASCG is on site. Maybe if the get some cash in from ET and Vision Tower they can complete some more.

I heard they will leave soon as they did at the Jumeirah Heights site, it seems without money no one will work in Dubai :)

Sick! In this stage they face bankrupcy? Any detailed information Imre if they left/will come back? What is the financial sitaution of the company?

When they want to stick to the original design which I doubt now they would still need lots of time for all these canals and landscaping.

Now that they have financial problems it seems unlikely that these are still parts of the plans.

Empower begins phase three of the District Cooling network in Business Bay

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MJP0UXD31gE/S-b79Ubv-TI/AAAAAAAArKo/uU-qkVD5dUI/s400/CEO+Picture.jpg

Dubai, UAE, 9th May, 2010: As part of its move to provide integrated district cooling services for the entire Business Bay project, Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower) began the third phase of the 70,000 refrigeration tonne (RT) district cooling network for the Bay Square within Business Bay.

The company had announced earlier the completion of two phases of the project which include “the Executive Towers” and the Towers Area that overlooks Sheikh Zayed Road from Emirates Airlines Building extending to the rear of the Executive Towers with 50000 refrigeration tonne (RT).

Empower has implemented the project with a high level of efficiency, seamlessness, precision and within the set budget and timeline.

Ahmed Bin Shafar, CEO of Empower, said: “We divided the implementation of district cooling network of Business Bay, which is one of the busiest and dynamic business spots not only of Dubai but also of the Middle East, into three phases as per demand and supply. We worked according to the timeline by constructing temporary and semi permanent work stations. As always, best of breed technologies were used in constructing this world class network to ensure highest performance and quality.”

hey SSC man, thanks for all your effort and updates.
do you have any idea how many workers left?

You're welcome DS.

Maybe four to five bus loads. Very small. The only tower that they're not working on at all in the first tower on the left of my above picture.

I drive past BB yesterday and there has been more cladding work done since I last looked last week.
