LOL yeah it is,
its a similar name tawood or tasfoot or somthing, its written on it in big letters next time anyones headed that way.

I had taken some pictures of the jbr model from May 2004. You can find them here:



They are approx 20MB zipped up!

Nice thank you.
Saw the model in citycenter some times ago, but well , it was very dense at least, but i am not a thaaat big friend of JBR development as residential towers, because if you are not directly in front your view as very blocked or at least it doesn't look that nice i think,so i prefer Towers like Ocean Heights for example.

it not a AC unit that Talbeed of what ever it whats it looks like i thought
it cools the water that in piped in under ground for SZr city ?

I'ts a JUNGLE out there ...

some valuable information on the 4 hotels within the development


Dubai Technology, e-commerce & Media Free Zone Authority (Tecom) to release tender documents for the construction of USD250 mln four five-star hotels at Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) complex providing 1,000 rooms

The first hotel to be managed by the Abu Dhabi-based Rotana Group, will be a 300-room property with leisure and entertainment facilities. Lebanon’s Khatib & Alami is the consultant.

The second hotel to be managed by Swiss hotel group Moevenpick, will comprise a tower and a podium with 298 rooms and leisure and business facilities. Local Arif & Bintoak is the consultant.

The third hotel will be operated by Abu Dhabi National Hotels (ADNH), will include 450 rooms. Canada’s NORR Group Consultants International is the consultant.

The UK’s RMJM International is the consultant on the fourth property, for which a management company has yet to be appointed.

why wouldnt jumeriah international run them? its their branding all over the project!

Very dense project!

wow it is stunning how fast you recognized that
(this is the response on one central CAR park)!

Thanks for the pics Altind, compare them to the ones I took in Dec/Jan, they're really growing rapidly. And yes it is very dense indeed, one of the best projects in Dubai IMO.

WOW! :runaway: :runaway:

exemplary! this is what i want to see! awesome

i can now see everything rise live whenever i want

even at 2am in the night construction is in full swing and there is light everywhere

wowww amazing. to all other developers...have look, you can do it the same...
oh i guess i will sit in front of my pc the whole day and watch construction...

^ You need help :D

wow it is stunning how fast you recognized that
(this is the response on one central CAR park)!

It is stunning it took you 33 minutes to come up with that comeback :lol: :jk:

Wow! Since JBR is a Dubai Properties project, I hope they do the same with Business Bay and, I'll be watching every minute of it (I need help too)! I think now it will almost not be worth going down there and taking photos yourself except if you wanted higher quality pics for a construction update?

I highly doubt any counstruction has started on Business Bay. Anyone wit a clue when they are supposed to start on that one?

I think a few articles mentioned they'll start in H1 2005, anytime before July.

WOW! :runaway: :runaway:

great image quality!

Thanks for pointing that out!

Wow! Great project - has become something of my favourite project mainly because its single-phased and because of the advanced technology they are using to errect two floors every week. Also from a Marketing perspective - the website and the cameras are really creating a buzz! :)

i have just checked the cams at daytime!
look at how fast these have risen!! :eek:

they will definitely all top out this year

Yea I was thinking the same, the towers are growing real fast, its amazing. Im guessing many of these towers will be topped out by the end of summer.

I really think we should make a big effort to get these heights, Dubai properties? JBR sales office in Media city?? consultants?? builders ?? etc. this is huge and these will be some big 200m plus towers. Ill try with consultants this week

great construction videos coming soon... ;)

:) great! looking forward dazz...!

Schwing swings a record at Jumeirah

Ten Schwing concrete pumps – eight S 42 SX and two KVM 52 – worked a record 33 hours for a 10,000 cu m raft slab at the Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) completing one of the largest single continuous concrete pours in the UAE.

http://www.gulfconstructionworldwide.com/source/xxvi/03/images/G-SCHIWNGDubai.jpg
Schwing pumps at work on site.

A total of 14 raft foundations were undertaken by Ready Mix Beton during the months of June, July and August last year.

“Seven batching plants – five working full time with two on standby duties in the event of a breakdown – were used to supply for the pour, a very special grade 50 concrete containing 65 per cent slag (GGBS) and 35 per cent cement (OPC) and a water/cement ratio of 0.37,” says a spokesman for the Germany-based Schwing. Four of the plants were located in JBR site production facility close to the Shaikh Zayed Expressway a distance of almost 1 km, with additional standby plants in Al Quoz Industrial Area, a distance of almost 15 km.

“In the hot summer of last year, the RMB batched concrete was mixed with ice and chilled water such that the fresh concrete temperature was 27 deg C or less. More than 1,100 tonnes of ice – provided by four ice plants – was used to control the temperature due to hydration throughout the pour, and to combat the high ambient daytime temperatures of 45 deg C.

“The continuous pour for the raft slab was extremely successful and completed in full to the project specifications for the client Tecom, the project manager Mace International and the main contractor Al Habtoor Engineering,” says the spokesman.

JBR Sector 4

Says Hashim Al Dabal, CEO of Estitmar Reality, the developer of Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR): “Because of the very nature of the project we wanted to ensure we got the very best people and machines to execute it. In this way we could guarantee top quality.

“The contractors that have been finally selected are all top of their class with tremendous track records of executing many of the world class projects throughout Dubai.”

That contractors of this calibre need to rely on dependable machinery for such high-profile jobs as JBR is a clear sign of the confidence they place in Schwing concrete pumps,” the spokesman says.

JBR project

In total, the JBR project will feature 36 residential towers, some reaching 54 storeys, plus four hotel towers and beach clubs to provide more than 22 million sq ft of gross floor area over a length of 1.7 km, much of it waterfront development.

The quantity of concrete contracted to Ready Mix Beton is 50 per cent of the total. The project has been split into seven sectors, each one being awarded to a separate main contractor and consultant. RMB was allotted a total of 18 towers in sectors 2, 3 and 4, for contractors Al Saleh Constructions, Arab Technical Construction (Arabtec) and Al Habtoor Engineering Enterprises. In order to speed up construction, some contractors combined the rafts of twin towers to be cast in one continuous operation. This resulted in a total of 14 raft foundations, the thickness of which ranged from 2.8 m to 4. m in certain locations.

Established in 1934 by Friedrich Wilhelm Schwing, in the the Ruhr Valley, the heart of Germany’s most important industrial area, Schwing has over the years quickly found customers in the mining industry, in road construction, in civil engineering and in construction.

In addition to the 900 employees at its headquarters in Herne the Schwing Group employs a further 1,500 persons worldwide in production plants in Germany, Austria, the US, Brazil, Russia, China and India. “We have sales and service centres in France, the Netherlands, Austria, the Czech Republic, Sweden and Korea as well as representations in more than 100 countries worldwide,” says the spokesman.

KVM 52

Since its introduction in the international marketplace, Schwing’s KVM 52 has always been a pacesetter in boom design. “With more than 150 units operating worldwide, the model is one of the most successful super-boom ever,” says the spokesman. “The wide acceptance has been a success story based on knowledge of the market and customer requirements, experience in design and engineering and an absolute commitment to long-term product quality.”

With a 52 m vertical reach with overhead roll-fold – a concept that keeps the base unit compact and therefore manoeuvrable on the road, the unit comes fitted with a proportional boom control and the MPS concrete pump control.

S 42 SX

In the super-boom category, the S 42 SX not only offers a long reach, but also high pumping economy. It can be fitted out with the P 2525 H super-long pump cell that turns in maximum pumping outputs with minimum wear, adds the spokesman.

“Super-X outriggers get the machine right into the centre of the action and has the world’s most popular boom with Pulsar-Prop control and MPS for the concrete pump. With a super-long stroke (2.5 m, optional) for outputs up to 160 cu m/h with only 22 strokes per min, and alternatively 50 cu m/h with only seven strokes/min assures absolute minimum wear costs,” he concludes.

Just had a look at the live pictures again. The pace is unf*****believable!! :)

its a joy to watch!

hopefull more projects like the burj dubai will adopt webcams!

I copied the photos maually. It lasts for about 45mins in real life.;)
I used animation shop 3 to make the shots move.

anyone care to do a month?:D

Its actually quite amazing, in any other city, the cranes in contrcution projects would never move as much as here!

great work
yes, the pace of this project is inbelievable
it will be a pleasure to compare the photos every week!

what is the timeline of that video?
an hour?two?
whoa a month would be insane...
try to find a possibility but might be very difficult...

how did you do that?

I have small application which saves those images and then I'll just join them together :) , but it's not so easy because the connection between Finland-Dubai isn't so good, the internet packets first go from Finland to USA and then to france and then to Dubai :sleepy:

more videos tomorrow ;)

More videos tommorow! i cant wait!
i have an awesome sunrise pic, but its so great to see it in video, im so glad they got these webcams, more projects in dubai need them! its soo great to watch it in video! thank you so much!

Good job guys.

you can see the actual construction via six web live cameras at www.jbr.ae

this feature places it as the best thing in dubai!

those webcams are really awesome...
so cool
hope the burj gets the same...
looking forward to new videos...

I wish they could fix several cameras to some of the completed DMarina towers so we could watch the Palm Jumeirah (and later the Palm Jebel Ali) being built.

http://www.tp.spt.fi/~jukarkil/uae/floors_rising.gif
(time between frames = 2h 20min)

look this :runaway:
that thing is rising!
if you look my first video, you can see in the left there are some heavy cement truck traffic, this is the place where they leave it, see that yellow hose in the upper image (near the ground), that must be the hose from where the cement goes into that red cement laying machine which is in on top of the building (well, actually near the building)

I had no idea that this is how they do it :)

they work so fast that i just insane...

I think that I will follow the progress of tower C09-T03 at least couple of days (the building on the right in the first video)

dazz, you are a Finnish masterpiece!

thats it.
exactly...
he got it...

dazz, you are a Finnish masterpiece!

Hello Everyone! Been very busy for a while! My wife and I just finished our own construction project and have just had a baby girl on Friday 11th March at 1928!!! Her name is Riya and she was only 5lbs (2.27 Kg).

I hope she likes JBR as much as me!!!

:)

congratulation...
is she fine?
sit here in front of JBR webcams instead of tv, she will like it!
;)

Unfortunately I do not have a lot of time to watch the excellent JBR sitevision, please keep the videos coming Dazz . . . :)

well, pm me for that


please keep the videos coming Dazz .

Let's hope her first words will be "Jumeirah Beach Residence"

imagine this situation...she sits in front of the cams and says ... slowly, jujuumeirhaaa beebeach residenncceee..." lol

and the parents would go crazy ;) at least her father..!
:hahaha:

dazz you might use the businnes bay soundtrack from the intro...
but i don't know if it fits.
if you like i can send you the song. got the cd.
just pm me.
btw it is NOT (i forgot that before editing ;) ) illegal.... have the right to copy it 10 times! ;)

Thanks for the congrats guys. Yes mother and baby Riya both doing well! I hope she will be able to say and see JBR soon! :)

congrats opn the baby!

i was thinking of castles in the sky by ian van dahl... suiting for the project me thinks!

shit! what a huge project... construction is going fast also... how many units is that? any idea on sales progress?

sold out, at least as far as i know.
only available on secondary market.
but btw who know how many apartments jbr compromises?

Original Price 3Bed apart in JBR: Dhs700,000
Current Price: Dhs1,600,000

little bit capital, buy some of those,sell them short before completion, and then move into a nice penthouse you can buy from the profit. thats how it works.

^^^^ I agree but I have been hearing from my contacts in international real estate that it has been becoming harder and harder to resell condos in Dubai. This does not necessarily apply to the JBR but other towers that have been completed had beautiful views but now developers are building higher towers in front of already completed (or nearly completed) projects. This devalues the original property and entices people to move to the tower with the better value (read:views, location).

in jbr apartment , fist row of course, that problem will never occur, as long as they build no artificial beach and put towers on the current beach, but that will not happen i would say.

^^^ It has happened with other projects though.

of course.
but still most prices are reasonable, even on the palm for example, though 100% premium ...

there is space is front of the JBR, the entire beach front and the beach resorts that sit in front. These could easily be redeveloped in to taller towers that would out build part of JBR

but i don't think they will do that , as they have no more beach available then, and dubai lacks on shore.
and i guess they will not build an artifical beach in front of the "new" towers actually.
thats what i said before...
except the hotels might not be pleased to move away...

i don't think they will build anything on the beach in front of jbr
there still is some space, but the towers there would get wet feet if you know what i mean, besides it would destroy the whole development.

sold out, really... that's incredible. Great! wish to come and stay there soon..

i don't think they will build anything on the beach in front of jbr
there still is some space, but the towers there would get wet feet if you know what i mean, besides it would destroy the whole development.

The HUGE free space between Hilton and Sheraton Hotel, most propably will be used for the 4 hotels that are part of the project, but how tall they'll be we don't know.

They really ought to sculpt a mountain in the outskirts of Dubai and build hillside villas on it!

Yeah, the elevated position, will help for better GSM signal.

They really ought to sculpt a mountain in the outskirts of Dubai and build hillside villas on it!

we could give it a funky name.....


LIKE JEBAL ALI!

I've never seen anywhere written "Jebal". Official seams to be "Jebel" but "Jabal" and "Jabel" is also used.

The amount of towers seems to make each of them appear shorter. Cool photos, Krazy. This is certainly a mind-boggling project.

Krazy
That big one deffinatly needs to be added to emporis, its an amazing pic showing the true scale of the development

that panorama is cool!
agreed, it makes the towers somehow look smaller, but the big wall is rising :D

added it to emporis giles.

where did you get that!!?
just amazing...
both the jbr and the marina+jlt....
dubai pearl is there,too...
am i wrong or is that a new interchange at the bottom?
it's a pity that the tallest block on the planet is missing... ;)

great model, first time I have seen the marina and JLT together

why is saba tower blue and all other towers (300 odd) in beige?

That is a VERY old model.

why is saba tower blue and all other towers (300 odd) in beige?

It's a model made for SABA estate by I-CAM.

ahh the plot thickens

Man, that pano is great, crazy how they're actually buildin all of that at one go. If that area is as green and well built as in that pic above, it'll be unbelievable.

Krazy,

Thanks for the pics...They are very impressive and must have taken you ages to do!

Can you tell me what applications you used to create these? I am especially interested in your panorama.

:)

aren't these models?

now in this one what is going on in front of the JBR seems to be alot. Thats where the poduim and park complex for JBR will be right seems bigger than i thought

i just love the marina... and jbr...
looks soo insane...
and can you see our tallest block on the planet rising... ;) ... aaahh

Salaamz,

I was sifting through my photos from last weeks trip to Dubai, here are some JBR pictures i took on the 3rd of April. I took the pictures from the road on the other side of the Marina.

great!! thanks!
some of them are 25F already...nice to see.
but floor ro ceiling height looks small in that pictures...

That's because the photos are small, flo! ;)

Great updates!!!

That's because the photos are small, flo! ;)

i would say they are not small, but from a wide perspective...

A wide range of equipment from some of the leaders in their respective sectors are helping shape the towers in the prestigious Jumeirah Beach Residence. A look at how these products are helping ease and speed up work.


Sector 6 of the Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) project is different to other contracts on the project in that it features a massive 16,000 sq m podium area over the complete project site, rather than individual podium levels for each tower.

In winning Sector 6 of the JBR project in Jumeirah, Dubai, main contractor Al Shafar General Contracting Company has purpose-ordered a variety of new equipment to meet the tight contract period of the 16,000 sq m, four-storey-high podium. The list includes: new formwork systems from Doka, new passenger/material hoists from Alimak and Liebherr luffing jibs 112HC-L cranes (JBR is only the second project in the region to use the cranes).
Jumeirah Beach Residence – covering an area of 4.5 sq km on the shore side of the Dubai Marina and featuring a 3.5 km long man-made lagoon – includes a total of seven construction packages to provide 36 residential high-rise towers, four hotels and beach clubs to cater for a community of 25,000 people.
The Sector 6 contract features four high-rise towers with varying heights between 107 m and 172 m plus a 120-m-high building linking two of the towers.
The podium level is different to the other sectors in that it is a ‘stand alone’ podium and will be connected by a series of bridges to the other podiums.
Al Shafar kicked off work on the Sector 6 in March last year with concrete pours for the raft foundation.
Says project manager, Ehab Edward Narouze: “The depth of the raft for the tower ‘foot print’ is approximately 2.8 m and 1.4 m for the general raft across the remainder of the site. For each tower’s raft, approximately 5,000 cu m of concrete was poured.”
Once the raft was complete, the contractor – using a Doka Top50 climbing formwork system – started work on the tower’s core shafts, working two levels ahead of the slab on each tower, says a spokesman for Doka.
The common podium across the site features a basement, grade level, a mezzanine, a plaza and upper plaza, with the lower three levels to be used for parking and the two plaza levels for retail outlets.
The contractor achieved an eight to 12-day cycle in the podium levels – which feature a variety of heights between 3.50 to 3.75 m with non-typical floors and different slab design and thickness – using Dokaflex tables for the slab construction, says the spokesman.
Once clear of the podium and working on each tower, Al Shafar has been able to achieve a reduced slab cycle of seven to eight days depending on the floor being cast and six to seven days for the core shafts.
Typical floor heights of 3.4 m are being poured using the Doka Top 50 system. Comprising just three components – timber formwork beams, steel walings and formwork sheets, the system is proving ideal for the project since all parts are reusable and can be optimised for most shapes and sizes, points out the spokesman.
The system is also being used for the core shaft walls and includes telescopic shaft beams and Doka-type 150F climbing brackets.
For slab construction throughout the Sector 6 contract, Al Shafar has opted for the proven Dokaflex tables system. As ready-assembled tables, the system can be shifted in one piece to the next position without being dismantled. With fewer separate parts, formwork erection and striking are greatly accelerated ensuring the shortest possible forming times for large areas of floor.
Throughout construction, safety has been paramount to Al Shafar with Doka providing climbing scaffolds and platforms to ensure that all formwork, steelwork, cleaning and casting is done in a protected and safe environment; allowing the labourers to work with enhanced productivity, he adds.

Craneage Duties
For tower 1 of the project, Al Shafar opted for two new Liebherr 112HC-L luffing jib cranes, which were purpose-ordered through local distributor Inma, for use on only the second project in the UAE to feature the crane.
Previously the first two units had been installed on Dubai’s fourth tallest tower, the 269 m-high 21st Century Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road for the Al Rostamani Pegel – Arabtec joint venture.
On the JBR project, both Liebherr 112HC-L luffing jib cranes feature an under-hook height of 240 m. The cranes have been designed for work on exceptionally tall buildings or on sites with restricted space, says a spokesman for Liebherr.
With the steep luffing jib angle (15 to 70 degrees), these cranes are able to avoid on-site obstructions with other working areas and slew through 360 degrees under load at only 7 m slewing radius.
Featuring a compact slewing radius, the 112HC-Ls are ideal where several cranes have an overlapping slewing radii, the spokesman points out.
Both cranes are climbing with the building’s concrete pouring cycle, with one floor being completed every six to seven days. The cranes are ‘jacked-up’ to remain on the upper construction level, floor climbing within the building’s core-shaft to the final height of the tower.
“Al Shafar opted for the luffing jibs because of the limited space on Tower 1, even though it occupies the biggest area,” says Narouze.
“It is also close to the road and cannot therefore swing across the road since it would interfere with the other sectors,” he adds.
Craneage duties on the remainder of Al Shafar’s Sector 6 project is provided by six Liebherr eight-tonne-capacity tower cranes.
The project also features two 44-storey towers and a 26-storey tower linked together by a 40-storey building. All four towers and the ‘link’ building feature a four-storey podium and final heights vary between 107 – 172 m.

Passenger hoists
To ensure fast and efficient movement of the labour force and materials for the four tower and link high-rise development, Al Shafar purpose-ordered six twin-cage Alimak Scando FC24/32TD passenger/materials, once again through local distributor Inma.
The installation of the Alimak hoists has increased the efficiency of passenger movement on each of the towers and also relieved the tower cranes for some of the materials.
The Scando FC24/32TD with three motors features a 2,400 kg capacity and can travel at a speed of 0 to 57 m/min for a lifting height of up to 150 m. The car has dimensions of 1.5 m by 3.2 m by 2.15 m.
On completion, the project will contain 770 apartments with a mix of one to four bedrooms with penthouses and loft houses on the upper floors. In all, the project is expected to have 20 different types of flats.

Thanks for the pics above also, nice ones.

if we knew the jbr towers of their phase we could at least have the heights for the highest and lowest tower of this sector :(

dennis is there no F**** possibility to get those heights, developer, archticets ,..
come on you always did it :)

WA to design new Sofitel in Dubai

Interior design consultancy WA International has teamed with hospitality company Abu Dhabi National Hotels (ADNH) in a design contract for their up-coming 450-room property in the Jumeriah Beach Residence (JBR) project.

The hotel will be branded a Sofitel luxury hotel and managed by the Accor Hotels Group. “ADNH are one of our oldest and most valued clients,” says Mark Young, general manager of WA International. “We know what they are looking for and understanding the clients’ expectations is the key to successful hospitality design. Tastes are changing in the region and we’ll be reflecting that in what we will do in the Sofitel,” he adds.

The JBR project is set to cost over US $1.6 billion and cover 1.7 km of beachfront property. Developed by Dubai Properties, a member of Dubai Holdings, the project will comprise four top-end hotels together with 6,000 residential units.

This is not the first time WA International and ADNH have partnered on a project. They are currently working on the refurbishment of the Hilton Hotel in Abu Dhabi, a venture that has cost the hospitality company in excess of US $8 million.

“WA International has previously done some fantastic work for us, like the Hilton Jazz Bar and the Hiltonia Health Club and Spa. ADNH strives to maintain a high level of elegance in our hotels and we are pleased to be working with them [WA International] again,” says Peter Cardnell, director general, ADNH.

The Sector 6 contract features four high-rise towers with varying heights between 107 m and 172 m plus a 120-m-high building linking two of the towers.

intresting

dennis is there no F**** possibility to get those heights, developer, archticets ,..
come on you always did it :)


F**** possibility? Fucks? French?
*Stares at flo, confused*

a free lunch to who ever can get these heights!!!!!!!!

a free lunch to who ever can get these heights!!!!!!!!

i think i have to starve then
hopeless case man
have sent dozens of mails for nothing

hope we'll get them on completion

long battle maybe we will never know

ah they have to pubish them at completion...

really why ?

ok youre right. but that is what i hope... ;)

ok bored tonight so went looking i found this

"The project also features a two 44-storey towers and a 26-storey tower linked together by a 40-storey building. All four towers and the ‘link’ building feature a four-storey podium and final heights vary between 107m and 172m."
So guess we can take that to mean the

26-Story tower is 107 and the
44-story tower could be 172

This being in the Group of 4
but what cluster could this be ?
http://www.cranestodaymagazine.com/story.asp?sectionCode=66&storyCode=2026859

its almost some heights if some one can figure it out

http://www.dubaipropertylink.com/property_images/Model%20pic%203%20L.jpg

maybe we need to start asking the contractors or the Project managers and even architects seeing as they are all done in clusters or sections. maybe will have better luck than info from JBR sales office?

al fattan are little bit small in there...

it's getting chaotic now :D
please don't consider this is only 1/4 of the jbr site, you will lose your mind :hilarious

http://80.227.45.195/record/current.jpg?rand=384773

i can't believe this incrdible pace
http://80.227.45.196/record/current.jpg?rand=6491496

i can look at this photo for hours
http://80.227.45.202/record/current.jpg?rand=5823302

lol that looks soo insane ... wtf ;) :D
and they are so fast compare al fattan...
i wonder if they will put the cams a little bit higher soon...they have to ;)

seem to have shot up
how days per floor
Some of the smaller towers must be close to topping out
Not that there are many most are 40+

the smaller ones are in front and they are smaller at the moment too so i guess most will top out at the same time..

Jumeirah Beach sales centre will shift to better premises at the development site
In a short while, homeowners and investors in Jumeirah Beach Residence will have a modern and convenient facility to conduct their business dealings and inquiries at the Jumeirah Beach Residence development itself, according to top officials of developer, Dubai Properties.


http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/5/13865-jbrsalesoffice.jpg

'It gives me tremendous pleasure to announce to you the imminent opening of the new Jumeirah Beach Residence Sales Centre at the site of the development. The dedicated JBR Sales Centre, which is under construction, will provide a more comprehensive level of service,' said Hashim Al Dabal, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Properties.

He pointed out that though the existing Sales Centre had all the amenities, it was away from the site. 'Now, investors and homeowners can visit the new Centre and watch the construction of their dream home at Jumeirah Beach Residence come to life. They will get a first-hand look at this very unique development that provides the ultimate experience in community living,'

Al Dabal said that the new Centre will replace the current facility when it opens on 24 April 2005.

'From the new Sales Centre located at the JBR site, homeowners and investors will not only be able to see for themselves the development of the stunning Jumeirah Beach Residence progressing in full swing, they will also find that the new Centre is more comfortable and spacious. The new facility is easier to visit with an abundance of car parking spaces and provides spectacular views of people's dream homes,' stated Al Dabal.

'Additionally, with the Coffee outlet at the new Sales Centre, homeowners can enjoy a beverage while taking a walk through the impressive mock-up apartment that we have put together,' he added.


Shopping Boulevard

He said that the ultimate experience in community living will be enhanced by a new retail concept. With construction on the two main shopping areas now underway, people can now see the start of what will be a 1.7 km shopping boulevard that will host over 400 outlets including 50 food & beverage and coffee shops located directly on the beach front.

Al Dabal said that when the new Sales Centre opens, the contact phone number and email addresses will remain the same. 'All contact details for JBR Sales Agents will also remain unchanged. Please feel free to contact us at any time on phone: 04 391 1114, fax: 04 390 4640 or email: info@jumeirahbeachresidence.com.'

Overlooking the Arabian Gulf Jumeirah Beach Residence is an impressive 22 million square feet of gross floor area development across a length of 1.7 kilometres. It features 36 residential towers, 4 hotel towers, beach clubs and is being developed by the same team that produced landmark projects such as the Dubai Internet City and the Dubai Media City. Launched in August 2002, Jumeirah Beach Residence apartments will be ready for occupation by the forth quarter of 2005.

JBR is being developed by Estithmaar Realty Fz LLC, a subsidiary of Dubai Properties LLC, which is a member of Dubai Holding. Dubai Properties operates with the express aim of conceiving large-scale development projects and transforming that vision into reality. Another of its pioneering projects under execution is the multi-billion dollar Business Bay that will offer facilities at par with leading business capitals of the world. Several other projects are under study.

I've been yesterday evening in the aerea and I saw that. I could see that they had inside that huge JBR model. I could also see that work on boulvard has started, but in most of the places was sttill in ground level.

who would want to live in JBR?

Wow, those last few construction pics are fabulous!

who would want to live in JBR?

People who will like to have a free beach access. :D

tower loos a little bit odd but i like the beachfront promenade..!

cheap render
btw - giles did you only add the 36 residential towers back in the day?

we have 36 jbr towers listed on emporis among them 4 hotel towers

i thought the xomplex has 36 residential towers, 4 hotel towers & the 2 al fattan towers in the middle!

what shall we do now?

there definitely is something wrong on emporis!

when you check all towers you will realize the 4 tallest towers have 54 floors
yes, but i doubt all 4 hotels will be 54 floors

especially when the rotana only has 22 floors

and the website says 36 residential towers + 4 hotel towers!!!!!!

i'll edit the usage for the hotels back to residential!

i think those will be 36 res + 4 hotels + 2 al fattan.
at least that is what i remembered from the stuff i heard about jbr..

JBR sales centre to be shifted to new site

24 April 2005

DUBAI — Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) will open a new sales centre on April 24, according to top officials of Dubai Properties.

“The dedicated JBR Sales Centre, which is under construction, will provide a more comprehensive level of service,” said Hashim Al Dabal, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Properties.

The existing sales centre is away from the site. “Now, investors and homeowners can visit the new centre and watch the construction of their dream home at Jumeirah Beach Residence. They will get a first-hand look at this very unique development that provides the ultimate experience in community living,” he added.

The new spacious facility will feature abundance of car parking spaces and a coffee outlet.

4th quarter of 2005...so fast...
how can they do this...!?
and there is said 36res + 4hotels m now the question remains if that figure includes al fattan...

JBR do NOT includes Al Fattan Marine Towers.

I was seeing some aerial footagge of JBR and I noticed that all the towers were angled and not parallel with the road / beach line. Also the towers on the second row were positioned to have full advantagge of the view available between the towers on the first row. Definitelly the second row towers will have sea view, and much more then we think.

thanks for clearing that up.

you can easily see this in the model pictures we have...

Kempinski to manage another Dubai property

Dubai :

Kempinski, a German hotel operator, will manage a new 287-room five-star hotel in Jumeirah Beach Residence, developed by Dubai Properties, company officials said.

The hotel, Kempinski's second property in Dubai, will open in the third quarter of 2007.

It will also operate a 384-suite Kempinski Mall of Emirates in Al Barsha from September.

Kempinski will also set up a regional sales and marketing office in Dubai next January.

It will be Kempinski's first office in the Middle East and North Africa, and the fourth the world.

The company's other offices are in Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States.

"The launch of our sales hub in Dubai and the opening of new Middle East hotels are part of the biggest expansion drive in the long history of the group, which is on target to operate a total of 70 properties throughout the world by 2007," said Christopher Hartley, Kempinski's senior vice-president for sales and marketing.

The company is negotiating with developers to sign up more hotels in the UAE, said Ulrich Eckhardt, Kempinski's senior vice-president for the Middle East and Africa.

Kempinski will also open its first hotel in Qatar next year, which will be completed shortly before the 15th Asian Games in Doha.

Kempinski, which entered the Gulf market when it opened the Ajman Kempinski in 1998, has soft opened the Emirates Palace Hotel the Dh11 billion luxury resort that will host the GCC (Gulf Co-operation Council) Summit later this year.

The Ajman Kempinski will also undergo massive renovation to increase its capacity by 50 per cent.

The 108-year-old German hotel chain will open 16 new hotels this year, taking the number of hotels operated by Kempinski to 56.

cool
so we know have the kempinski, moevenpick and which are the other 2
i think we already know 3 hotels inm this complex
which one is the third?

i think one is ROTANA

This will become a very interesting zone with all those high class hotels.
Does anybody has information about The walk shopping area? Have they some unsold shop to sell?

cool
so we know have the kempinski, moevenpick and which are the other 2

Thanks.

i'd like to know if tourists are told there is a huge construction site when they book the trip in their home country?

douth it
do they realise how far from dubai and any thing eles they will be when the booking is made.

All the Hotels in the aerea, have a warning on their website about the construction and the related noice.

I don't know if the travel agencies advice their clients though.

the problem is the average tourist which is spending a hell lot of money in let's say the hilton ( :D :lol: ) won't check the hotel website

The Hilton Dubai Jumeirah is the biggest dump on Beach Road, I dunno why anyone would ever want to go there.

can we please have more pictures of B07 T01, I've bought a flat in this building, or can someone locate it on the pictures which was posted. I would be grateful................

sell it , do it, now...
there are so many other locations in the marina, why can somebody buy an apt in JBR, hopefully you did not pay any premium or what...

i made pics ,will see what i can do with your tower.
you could even compare the old pictures and the marina map by dazz.

I would suggest selling it before it is completed as well, but flo, there will always be a market for JBR, because there will always be some people that would love beach access but without paying for status (Dubai Marina)

come on, jbr is the most crappiest development in dubai, maybe except international city.

apparently corners have been cut on build quality because of the rising cost of cement etc. I really would sell now and buy somewhere else, unless your jbr apartment has a direct sea view. if it hasn't, it is just going to remind you of a highrise council estate

thank you for your comments, actually its the marina facing view, I bought it in 2002, when dubai started to sell freehold props. I took a risk and for me its paid off. I bought it very cheap, its worth around 1 million Dhirhams now, I've checked. If I rent it out, I should get at least £10000 a year which isn't too bad for an investment of approx £68000.

I rang JBR the other day at their London Office and they are selling 1 bedroom properties at JBR for £163000

It has direct access to the beach which is a bonus for me and its a good renting point. Yes I could have bought in another development on the marina, but other developments are quite walking distances to the beach whereas I just walk about 100 metres and I'm on the beach.

I could now remortgage and buy a villa or another apartment at another develpment, so on and so on.

ADNH signs agreement with Accor to manage property at JBR development

Abu Dhabi National Hotels, Abu Dhabi's leading hospitality group, today signed an agreement with Accor's upscale Sofitel brand to manage its first hotel project in Dubai.

H.E. Khalifa Nasser Bin Huwaileel Al Mansoori, Chairman of Abu Dhabi National Hotels, said: 'The 450-room, beachfront hotel will be known as the Sofitel Jumeirah Hotel and Beach Resort, and will open in late 2007 within the prestigious Jumeirah Beach Residence project (JBR). We believe that the Sofitel brand is the ideal choice to manage ADNH's first hotel venture in Dubai.'

Al Mansoori added 'We look forward to seeing the Sofitel Jumeirah Hotel and Beach Resort take shape, and will continue to seek opportunities to complement our existing hospitality and leisure portfolio,' Al Mansoori added.

The Sofitel Jumeirah Hotel and Beach Resort will offer guests well-appointed rooms and suites, all sea-facing, with direct access to a dedicated signature beach club and spa. A range of services suited to business travellers will also be available, including state-of-the-art conference and banqueting facilities plus a range of exciting restaurants and bars.

Jean-Luc Motot, Chief Executive Officer, Accor Middle East and Africa said: 'We are delighted to strengthen our existing relationship with Abu Dhabi National Hotels, and complete the agreement to operate the group's new hotel under the Sofitel brand.'

Motot added: 'This new project demonstrates the dynamic development of the Sofitel brand in the Middle East, and it is one of five new Sofitel hotel projects to be completed by 2008.'

I look forward to seeing them Dubaiflo..............Thank you.

come on, jbr is the most crappiest development in dubai, maybe except international city.

Do we have the heights for this project? Coz I think I can get the official map with the heights.

No we dont, impress us Krazy

Lol, I will try.

you certainly would do us a great favor to finally find a way to get these heights

I actually know someone who's working for JBR sales... he said he would get the map for me this week. Lets hope he sticks to his word.

i'm sure it will be a mess to find out which tower is which

maybe we have to rename all of them to get it in order!

doesn't matter. i hope they will be huge, because the editors would have to do a lot of work then to add every single one to top 300...

Turns out the guy cant gimme the heights because it's against the rules or something but I did get the official map wit the names n floor counts... but we have those already dont we?

:(
wonder why publishing heights is against the rules? many companies seem to have a problem with it
others are happy people are interested in it :dunno:

He said its becoz "European"buyers are scared of living in towers when they hear towers are 150m or 200m or 400m.... they are scared of heights.... sale people can talk such BS :D

muahaa :hilarious

for me it can't be tall enough :D

too funny

now, due to all the altitude sick people we suffer hard, not being able to get official heights :cry: :D
ok, then we have to terrify some construction workers, telling them we're working undercover for the building supervisory board :lol: :D

the workers don't even know the names of the buildings they're working on. :D

JBR Tower C01-T03 3rd June 2005.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/seonnecken/JBRco1t03.jpg

that is so insane...this project... just... crazy.

since i'm back here i call this tbw, no longer jbr

tbw stands for "the big wall"

still not sure if i want to live in there though, it's so dense

the only rooms which appeal to me are sea-view rooms or the penthouses on top, they're really nice

must be a pleasure to shop on the boulevard down there soon!

remember that this initialy was going to be a low-cost, affordable project, but literally halfway through sales they decided to make it high end and introduce penthouses, loft apartments, etc etc etc
so thats why it has a council flats feel about it

wow, they look very tall already, now imagine those with almost 20more floors :runaway:

And something which is needed. If they did make them low-cost it would have been in the wrong place anyway IMO.

Waw already 30 floor.

And something which is needed. If they did make them low-cost it would have been in the wrong place anyway IMO.

still, i cant wait to see what this project turns out to be like. but its very very dense! if your windows look out onto another tower you won't ever get sunlight in your apartment :runaway:

you look into a dark wall with seaview, no lights or something.

this is totally incredible... when i was there in autumn 2004 i saw them so small and compared to now it`s NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dubai is booming :eek2:

Wow, that is interesting!

thats just amazing

we have to have to have to get the heights of these towers by hook or by crook. Come on guys lets all think how we can get these heights, maybe a site visit to the builders, Project managers , architects? there are some monsters comming up here deffinatly over 200m

that is just great.
nice you parked you car there again altin ;)
incredible...really.
heights heights heights...right giles.
but where and how...
no way just to walk in the sales center and ask them?

Great photos.

i agree we realy need the heights!

is the model still at DCC?

assuming thats accurate, could we use that?


measure distances between the towers or the towers and other objects, and then compare this to their heights, should give us a height within a few metres.

oh oh i don't think we can get a height like that within a few metres...
there will be mistakes of at least 20m if you measure a 200m tower on a 1m model...

Actually, flo, I have an idea.......

What is the height of Al Fattan? and how close in metres is the closest JBR tower to Al Fattan? OR, what is the distance of the tallest JBR tower from Fattan?

measure it.
you mean we could do it mathematically?
that would be hell of a lot work ...

Better than nothing though.

Big demand for 'The Walk @ JBR'


Close to 70 per cent of the available retail outlets at 'The Walk @ Jumeirah Beach Residence' have been snapped up by discerning retailers and brands operators, according to senior officials associated with the project.

The Walk @ JBR is going to be one of the most vibrant shopping boulevards to be created in Dubai and this region.

It will primarily serve residents and visitors of Dubai's Dh5.2 billion mega beach resort lifestyle development, Jumeirah Beach Residence.

"Since the concept of The Walk @ JBR was unveiled at the beginning of October last year, response has been overwhelming," said Mohamed Binbrek, chief operating officer of Dubai Properties, which is developing the Jumeirah Beach Residence.

"We had decided early on to accept only those retailers who fitted our highly-demanding profile. This was to ensure that outlets along The Walk would suit the upscale and high-luxury nature of the development," he pointed out.

"Despite the high volume of response, we have been careful in the selection process and have so far accepted the applications for close to 70 per cent of the retail outlets available at the 1.7 km long boulevard shopping experience that we are creating at Jumeirah Beach Residence," Binbrek said.

Dubai Properties was assisted in the screening and selection process by a Retail Team that it has created for Jumeirah Beach Residence project and by Aswaq Management & Services, which is the retail consultant for the developer.

The Dubai Properties COO stated that care was taken to ensure the "right mix" of products and services that would be made available at The Walk @ JBR.

"Keeping in mind the profile of our residents and the prospective visitors to Jumeirah Beach Residence, we needed to create the right mix so as to be able to prove the best possible products and services that a year-round beach resort lifestyle community would require in and around the premises.

"I am delighted to say that we have been successful so far in creating a retail environment that is unique in itself.

"We have a strong representation of new concepts and brands in a vast range of goods and services including Food & Beverage, Home Furnishing, Décor and Art Galleries, Women, Men & Children Apparel; Fashion & Accessories, Health & Cosmetics, Jewellery, Culture, Leisure & Sports and Supermarkets and other neighborhood commodity stores and services," Binbrek stated.

"We are proud to host global brand names such as these to add their lustre to The Walk," Binbrek added.

Jumeirah Beach Residence offers much more than just luxury accommodation.

It is about creating the ultimate experience in community living for its more than 25,000 residents and many thousands of expected visitors. The world's largest single-phase community development boasts of 36 residential towers and four luxury hotels, apart from the 1.7km long The Walk.

The Walk @ JBR would consist of two levels and will host over 400 outlets including 45 restaurants, coffee shops bakeries and new life style light Food & Beverage Concepts located directly on the beachfront and all over the community.

Jumeirah Beach Residence is one of Dubai Properties on-going projects.

Others include the Business Bay, a business district patterned on Manhattan of New York or the Ginza of Tokyo; and another lifestyle community development, The Villa, next to the region's largest entertainment, leisure, tourism and lifestyle project, Dubailand.

Dubai Properties was created by Dubai Holding with the express aim of conceiving niche, large-scale development projects and transforming that vision into reality.

the walk might be the best of JBR...

The pictures won't load again. My computer is under some sort of anti-tinypic spell!

Juiced, Its the French I tell you. All full of garlic snails and hot air......

I will put a plate of garlic covered with sticky glue outside in the garden overnight and see if I can find any French people stuck to it in the morning. Then we will truly throw ourselves deeper into the mystery of my computer's anti-************ stance!!

Veavre Le France!!

Is it just me or has the work on JBR slowed down a lot recently. I remember last time I visited the site in December, I saw some workers on almost every tower but this time around whenever I pass by I see only some towers being worked on and a lot less workers.

No, no, the work goes fast. Keep in mind that now that they're working on higher floors, is dificult to spot workers from the ground.

Does the parrot ward off French people? If so, name your price.

DAMAC properties lists also JBR on the projects section of their website, along Marina Terrace, Ocean Height, Lake Terrace and their other projects.

I have no idea why and they don't explain much in there.

i have seen that a long time ago.
first i thought it could be the al fattan.then i checked out all the contractors of JBR and Dubai Holding, but i could not find anything related to damac.
maybe D-l knows more?

Maybe they have bought many apartments ore an entire building(s) from Dubai Properties, and they're selling now.

honestly, i have no idea
maybe they have reserved a whole tower or more

could be indeed.
