HH THE Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani and Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniya attended the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Al-Quds Endowment Tower project in Doha yesterday.

in al-sharq news, it says 100 floor. the other newspaper didnt mention
it.


وأعرب الرئيس هنية عن سعادته بنتائج زيارته لدولة قطر ومحادثاته مع حضرة صاحب السمو الشيخ حمد بن خليفة آل ثاني أمير البلاد المفدى، ونوه في مؤتمر صحفي عقده بمقر إقامته بفندق الريتزكارلتون أمس بمناسبة زيارته للدوحة ومشاركته في افتتاح دورة الألعاب الآسيوية بتبرع سمو الأمير ببناء برج «وقف القدس» الذي يعود ريعه لتنفيذ مشاريع داخل القدس وأنه شارك سمو الأمير بوضع حجر الأساس أمس لهذا البرج المكون من مائة طابق، كما وضع حجر الأساس للمدرسة الفلسطينية.
The endowment is donated by the Emir to support projects in Jerusalem.

from the pictures, it looks like it will be in the city cente road.

WOW!! Does this mean two 100F towers in West Bay? Great!
Now judging from the pics, this is located next to M Tower and W Hotel, so not far from the entrance of City Center indeed! Someone should go and check that! ;)

Yehooooooooooo!!! Another supertall!!
AWESOME!:banana:

Can someone post a bigger version of the pic with the tower?

CCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOL!
Another supertall!
Seriously, they really keep secrets! Anyone heard about it before?
WHen is constructoin starting?

this is great and wats m tower and w hotel ???

^^ the 2 towers u/c in the background.


In the news, it says that income from the Al Quds Endowment Tower will be utilised to support projects in Al Quds (Jerusalem).
Concretely, does anybody now what this means?

No idea. I would guess that once the property is making profits, that the profits would be utilized to build projects in Jerusalem?

I think from the pics, the tower would be built near W Hotel.

is w hotel the one that looks like an open book ?

I think so

The premier said that the Al Quds Endowment Tower project in Doha, ....., is expected to generate $84mn a year. "The proceeds from the 100-storey tower will be allocated for Jerusalem and its inhabitants," he said, adding that the proceeds are expected to rise in the future.

wat do you mean ? the tower wont be in doha ???

the tower will be on doha, but the profits of the project will go to jerusalem and its people

is jerusalem in palestine or Israel ?

LOOOOOL, well half half !! but the money will go to the palestinian side, their prime minister layed the foundation stone of the project :lol:

how come I cant see the pic?? :bash: :bash: :bash:

^^ try right click on the picture then show picture. it works with me.

i always yous that trick but it does not work but i can see thees fine

qatar is messing too much in our affairs lately..

also, jerusalem got its name 3000 years ago, and arabs should start to respect names of places and not try to replace them.

you can use this word, which is not a good translation

أورشليم

the middle ages arabic used بيت المقدس beit el mikdas, which was a mispronounciation of the hebrew beit mikdash, which means temple.
and from it came al kuds, so btw even this name refers to the temple..
and the temple or holy is not the name of this city.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Jerusalem

Shawarma,
What's behind all of your frustration and tension? Clearly you are angry that someone is giving aid to Palestinians.

P.S. Did you know that Tel Aviv is called Baba Ghanoush in Arabic?

actually behind it is a battle against a stupid little american city calling itself jerusalem!

Two little cities actually in the US.

stop it where talking aboutthe project here ;)

shawarma, take your hate elsewhere - its called Al Quds in Arabic whether you like it or not, you can call it whatever you want but Orshaleem is only used by Israelis and Israeli TV. Second of all, the proceeds go to help the Palestinians in Jerusalem, there is absolutley nothing wrong with that.

This post was written with a lot of restraint because I don't appreciate people coming in here and telling us what we should say and how we should act, but I have to add that Qatar is hardly "messing" with your affairs. The Palestinians and East Jerusalem have nothing to do with you, and if Qatar wants to help them it is perfectly fine and does not in any way meddle in Israeli affairs (God forbid :| )

Now, if you have something to say about the project, feel free to post, otherwise leave politics out of this.

I really like the idea behind the Al Quds project, and its going to be nice to have yet another supertall in West Bay!

Well at least the project will help the Palestinians in Al-Quds area. and maybe in other areas of the terrertories.

poor Palestinians so sad that there lands where captured by Israel :(

poor Palestinians so sad that there lands where captured by Israel :(

This isnt a political thread, so please dont start getting political. ;)

come on halawala you hadthat feeling once didnt you ;)

lol al-Khalifa never heard of it

wat am me talking about you got your indipendence 40 years ago thats all

vent ur crap out of this thread source.

halawala will do that :)

Guys, constructive critisim ONLY.

so this is going to be near W hotel

Found something

in one of MillenniaL posts I found this and it says the tower name is al qouds

http://www.al3nabi.net/upload/show.php?pic=87738

it doesnt look tall but maybe they change it later.

Doesnt look tall? It looks tall to me!
Nice found. Very simple.
And the reflection in the glass... it is the Sheraton.

It doesn't look that tall to me... I mean compare it to the City Centre on the right. City Centre looks quite big here, which means the tower isn't that tall. Of course as someone mentioned before, the screw up scales and ratios in renders. Well, I hope he/she was right. 'Cause I really think this one looks good! :)

I don't think this is the one. The design looks plain ugly and unoriginal--very 50's design.

It doesn't look like the one in this pic >>

..

guys ..chek out behind the ppl......its dat box like tower with silver square in the middle i forgot the name of that tower....i think its near 44 west bay tower...

m tower

not bad, if they ever get a resolution to the israeli-palestinian conflict it would be nice to develop the gaza coastline.

btw its good to see the leaders in the gulf are the first to help out their palestinian brethren financially...

m tower


yea ....right!!

Is it underconstruction?

Maybe an old proposal indeed...cause if we consider the building in the background to be City Center, the spot looks pretty much the same as the actual one on the photos!

actually it looks like its in alfardan twins place to me.

So, anyone know the location and status of this tower?

Qatar, Doha
Al Quds tower

the new version of the Dome of the Rock


This 100 floors tower project represents a real challenge to afford the creation of the most innovative human habitat and the greatest landmark of Doha because its residential function and its shape that always could remind to the world the hope of the peace for the Palestinian land.

The target is to host more than 2.000 inhabitants in a icon building that could be symbolically linked with Al Quds trough the analogy with the Dome of the Rock, the most important and ancient monument of the Islamic culture, the place where the prophet Muhammad ascended to God in the sky.

The geometry of the Dome of the Rock is abstractly extended in height and with the right proportion to became an ethereal tower, that mix itself with the sky; in this way the Golden Dome became a sort of Golden Minaret. Its top (420 meters) is able to catch and reflex around the first ray of the sun in the morning and the last in evening, all over Doha. In the night, because so high and close to the seaside, it will be the lantern of the Gulf. The main entrance direction 15 lifts lobby and a laser light on top are toward the Al Quds direction, to remind Palestinian land, all the time and to everybody, from everywhere in Doha.

All these symbolical meaning with their own cultural, political, and religious contents find a reasonable choice and a pragmatic meaning in the correspondence with a clear consolidate typology of skyscrapers: the Miraret or “skyrockets” shape is considered the best choice in terms of aerodynamic effect of the wind. Just some examples between many: Swiss Re in London, Acqbar in Barcelona, and now the tallest in the world, the construction Bionic tower in Shanghai - 1200 meters.

The cylinder and round base plan is better than square or polygonal one. But the amount of the vortexes on the back of the cylinder can create negative strong whirlpool. Like the airplane wings the force should be dangerous.
The reduction of cylindrical shape (Typical first 50 floors diameter of 60 meters) since the half of the height toward the top allows a drastic reduction of this vortex of air on the back of the tower with the positive result of avoiding high costs for the foundations and all the structural frame.

The tower include 420 apartments will host 2.250 residents with a medium range of 120 sqm each plus the surrounding continuous private and public terraces, provided by the 2,5 mt. of extended cantilevered slab that ensure also protection by the sun and easy maintenance of the glass façade.
Five floors of futuristic “sky-gardens” ensure greenery and fresh air at any floors breaking the textured skin of the building. Around the, every 20 floors, public facilities and services like nursery, bar and restaurants, prayer rooms, Gym, Spa, swimming pools, library clubs, mini-markets will allow the high quality and real environmental “vertical” life style.

A vertigo restaurant and a suite for special honour or diplomatic guests are on the top.
An easy and economic but innovative RGB changing colors lighting system will ensure spectacular dynamic games of light at night, in the podium and along all the tower, until the golden top.

The car for the residents will be close to the apartments as per the best futuristic goal about this issue. Like in the first lucky typology of this kind of tower (Marina Bay in Chicago). The cars are host in the first 9 spiral slab car park (800 cars for 420 residents are more then 1,5 for each apartment).

The tower down is sustained by the real image of a feet shaped podium. The slabs, going down, start to increase them self in a fluidic enlargements, like the topography land curves map.

The ground floor double height Podium will host retail and commercial activities, a bank, one mosque for 300 persons, a 500 seat multipurpose ballroom and cinema hall with surrounding small restaurants. The service and commercial area of 9.000 sqm has a 2 level underground car park basement, hosting 670 cars for visitors and employers.
On the Podium the roof garden of palm trees, with swimming pool and decorative pools provides nice views to a big gym, Spa and restaurant.
The transparency of the glazing of the podium is protected by the sun with a continuous “mujarabya” in computer and laser cut aluminium panels to evoke the stone and the ceramic tiles texture and Islamic scripts of the base of Dome of the Rock in Al Quds.

Thanks A million Suzan for the update!

WOW !!! Thanks suzan. I was waiting for something big like this.

I think its time to create a thread in the supertalls section, don't you think ?

^^ Yes! I think that too salman!
Should I say, go ahead!? :D

alright :) back with the link in a second :D .


here

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=15381426#post15381426

Thanks!

yay thanks suzan and thanks salman for posting the other thread in the super talls area :D the tower looks great especially the GREEN part its eco friendly with the plants up high reminds me of the tower of babylon

any one in Doha can go and take a picture for the place ??

I think its somewhere in here

http://3nabifantasy.com/up/files/yy0zmjw4oz3y3mmtdmoq.jpg

we need proof that its U\C, the website says Mid 2007!!

Great find Suzan! The design is not very creative but I trust it can look nice in reality.
Actually as you can see from my pics I was in the area yesterday. There is some huge excavation work going on next to Barjeel tower but there was no board mentioning whatsoever. Actually one of the circles Salman made is now the deep hole I'm talking about. I'll go and check again, maybe I missed it....I'm invited to a very nice hotel not far (:banana: ) for iftar later on today so I'll be able to tell you very soon :D

It looks a bit like Agbar tower no?
http://www.mediaarchitecture.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/AgbarTower.jpg

Anyway, don't like the design that much, but it might look great in reality like Massilia said!

but isnt agbar tower a cosin of Qatar tower ? lol but yeah i agree with you btw between us i think west bay needs another twisted tower at behind near where salman have drew on the map

This might only be a proposal though (the source website is called europea concorsi which means european competitions; it gathers proposals for various projects).

this is just one of the proposals, it isn't the winning design. its not underconstruction yet but should be early next year and the location is pretty much the area you have marked. hope that helps - sure you will be hearing more about this project in the not too distant future

^^thanks...do you know which firms are taking part in the design competition, by any chance?

sorry can't announce any of the firms that were involved. the competition has ended though and a design has been picked out

sorry can't announce any of the firms that were involved. the competition has ended though and a design has been picked out

All right, but can u discloseany details reguarding the height, floor level, or any other details?

and whne whill you anounnce the design ?

no i can't disclose any such details, only what you know which is that it will be 100 storey. the design etc should be announced in the coming months

no i can't disclose any such details, only what you know which is that it will be 100 storey. the design etc should be announced in the coming months

Great! We're going to be waiting for further information. BTW, any info about the completion date? Perhaps 2012?

sorry was initially trying to answer whether or not this project was even happening - i can't start to discuss details of which design it is or height for obvious reasons. i know its frustrating but i am sure you won't miss when this one gets announced

yes - completion is expected to be 2012 btw

here is an article in Arabic about Qatari architect, Ibraheem al-jiadah, how is designing the tower
I will only include the part about the tower, read the full article here
http://www.al-watan.com/data/20080107/innercontent.asp?val=local7_1

ــــ ما هو المشروع الكبير والجديد الذي تعكف عليه حاليا وسيكون اضافة الى رصيدك في التصميم المعماري؟

Wow, I am surprised that he won the contract for a 100 story tower! That is really good news!

me too i hope at least he will do something worth winning the competition.. coz i don't like his work especially when do mix old classical elements with glass and claiming that the type of architecture wht we need if we want to save our identity... coz there is noo use for these elements, they just decoration ! they are fake
personally i believe our heritage must not be presented in decorations they must be our source of inspiration of developing:)

lol look at what I found ;)

http://i32.tinypic.com/2lszih1.jpg

http://i32.tinypic.com/2llzy1s.jpg

imagine the foundation stone placed on 2/12/2006 and they've still done nothing...

wow almost 2 years with nothing....

btw massilia please show us where this tower is supposed to be on a google earth image. i would really appreciate it becasue i hve no idea where this is....

It's behind the W Hotel:

http://i25.tinypic.com/34g4lr5.jpg

Hmmmm not such a good spot for a super tall but anything in west bay is good... i really hope now that those embasies are removed and translocated to somwhere far far far away like abu samra for example......

it would be great if they made like an "embassy village" and each embassy could be designed in the way of their country.

I wish I knew someone in the hukooma that could do something with my ideas :P

Someone had posted this render before, which is definitely a proposal for Al Quds tower:

http://i38.tinypic.com/mjmzj8.jpg

i like the tower! but the bottom part is too vegas style.

I love it, thanks Massilia, finally a render for this tower.
if you dont mind i will post it in the supertall section :D

^^ yet a hundred years has passed and this didnt start yet.... btw this means 5 supertalls in westbay alone !!!! Dubai Towers, Barwa Tower, QNB Tower, Al-Quds Endowment Tower and ofcourse the mysterious Al-Jaber Tower !!!!

Salman posted the previous one in the discussion thread....

http://i38.tinypic.com/20t5e1l.jpg

Nice render, Bert! It looks great!

OMG thanks for postng this!
It looks amazing!!

so what is this tower ? some kind of hotel ??? since it has swimming pools in the render posted by salman.. and it was an article about hotels in Doha.... anyone ??

Guys, the big news of the day is that tenders have been issued for the foundations of the tower!!! Some companies have already replied to it.. The documents mention that the tower is 5B+G+100!

:banana:

wow..

Now well have 4 super-tall buildings: Dubai Towers, Barwa Tower, QNB, and now this! With the possibility of a couple in Lusail also.

Thanks Massilia for the pics!

I agree Suzan, the problem is we're not actually sure this will eventually get built...hehe

I am pretty sure inshallah this building will get built =D

I love this building; however, I think the topmost dome should be replaced by a very tall mast. This will give it more like an Empire State Building feel. Im assuming this building is more than 350 meters tall.

well the title needs to be changed to under construction =D

congrats, thanks halawala

The Enabling Works contractor AMMICO (http://www.ammico.biz) has completed its scope of works i.e. Diaphragm Wall, Anchors, Deep Excavation, Piling and Dewatering Works. Site has been handed over to Private Engineering Office and it is ready for next phase of construction.

AMMICO did Enabling Works for all 3 super skyscrpers in Doha i.e. Doha Convention Center & Tower, Qatar National Bank Headquarters Building Tower and Al Quds Tower Project.

Pictures of these three projects are available at http://www.ammico.biz

Footprint photo of upto date construction status of the project is here:

http://www.ammico.biz//datafiles/imagegallery/a6dc0a1d483300b31856a42a4965dd1a.JPG

That is one deeep excavation! The streets surrounding the site looks soo high compared to the excavation. I wonder if they awarding the superstructure yet.

never knew the plot is that huge

nice Islamic arch .

Feb, 22 2010

MEED reported that the Private Engineering Office is preparing to issue tender documents in March for the main construction contract on the Al Quds Endowment tower in Doha.

As per report, the contract for the 500 meters high building is expected to be worth about QAR 2.4 billion. The mixed use tower, which will be one of the tallest in the world, will have 5 underground levels for parking and 100 floors above ground.

The project has been planned for at least 3 years. In December 2006, the foundation stone was laid during a ceremony attended by the emir. Progress on the project has accelerated over the last year. The piling and foundation works contract was awarded in the Q2 of 2009 to the local Ammico Contracting Company.

The consultants working on the project include UK based Hyder Consulting and the local Arab Engineering Bureau. It is the second 500 meters plus tower planned in Doha. Qatar National Bank is in discussions with groups competing to build its 120 floor, 510 meters high headquarters.

QNB received bids from at least five groups in early November to build the tower. They include a joint venture of Beijing based China State Construction Engineering Corporation and Lebanon’s Societe d’Enterprise & de Gestion; a JV of Australia’s Grocon and the local Contraco, Australia’s Multiplex, Lebanon’s Qatari Arabian Construction Company and a JV of South Korea’s Samsung Corporation, the local Midmac Contracting Company and Belgium’s Six Construct.

500 m :cheers:

yes!!!!! it will be higher than Dubai Tower :banana:

so Al Quds will be the third tallest tower in West Bay, and Dubai Tower the fifth

I hope Dubai tower will be the tenth one day:lol:

sorry guys but I'm not a big fan of Dubai Tower :)

....................................any updates for this beauty?

Hi guys, this is a dead project. It will be refilled soon. So.... froget about it!:lol:

Well pilling is done. but from recent pictures on flickr, its exactly the same.. not much activity.

But you cant call it a dead project, this is NOT Dubai.

This seems like an awful waste of money, if as I understand it, the Al Quds endowment is designed to help/benefit the Palestinians. Why is hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on a showpiece tower in Doha when the money could go directly to the Palestinian groups/organizations that the endowment is supposed to help?

I am not trying to provoke anything here; I am just confused by the purpose of this tower.

The return of the income of this Tower for eternity would help Palestinians live. :)

This looks like Sears Tower with an Arabic exterior instead of steel and glass

according to Zawaya.com the project is canceled !!

In May 2010, the construction contract was not awarded because the project was canceled.

one other website wrote its on hold but I dont remember which.

here is the source (http://www.zawya.com/projects/project.cfm/pid150909110119/Private%20Engineering%20Office%20-%20Al%20Quds%20Endowment%20Tower,%20Doha)

is it still on the progress? or....

BNC says the project is on hold:

http://bncnetwork.net/pgs/Display/ProjectDisplay.aspx?ProjectID=46411

But going by what "on hold" generally means in this region, it is more appropriate to call it cancelled.

I noticed they have removed the project board. Another sign this project might be cancelled. Such a waste.

It might have fallen by itself! Maybe its been soo long

Someone had posted this render before, which is definitely a proposal for Al Quds tower:

http://i38.tinypic.com/mjmzj8.jpg

Wow, that looks awesome

The very bad news here is that the hole has been filled up. Me think no more project! : (

OMG seriously !!!! they could have just left a hole in case another project is coming up.....

bummer...

ohhhh nnooooooooooo

but i read news says that will there will be a really tall tower ! so i assume they meant al quds tower since they not going to build it i diplomatic area, i think they moved it to there " Katara"

An ambitious plan,,,

WOW Amazing Tower So Does The Construction Started Keep Us Updated Guys And You Should Post That In The Supertall Forum Wish You All Of The Best Qatar

This project is managed by private engineering office (PEO) and the put it on hold however the plan now is to relocate the project to somewhere else
piles have finished
no Idea what will be done in the current location.
by the way I am the concept designer for that project.

^
i heard some rumor says that this super tall tower will be relocated to Katara !! or that area on there !!
