Emaar launches The Loft Towers residential complex on Burj Dubai Boulevard
Dubai, UAE, December 11, 2006: Emaar Properties has launched a three-tower, high rise residential complex - The Loft Towers - on Burj Dubai Boulevard, a vibrant component of the Downtown Burj Dubai development. Amlak Finance is offering easy home finance options to own an apartment at the Central tower, which is currently open for sale.

With a maximum of six one- and two-bedroom apartments on each floor, the three towers – Central, East and West - are located above the podium of The Lofts, which was launched last year. Each tower also has a three-bedroom penthouse.

“While The Loft Towers adds to the residential components of Downtown Burj Dubai, it also gives its residents an exclusive living environment,” said Ms Bahiya Kayed, Assistant Director of Sales, Emaar Properties. “Located on the Burj Dubai Boulevard, The Loft Towers assures residents the easiest access to an array of retail, leisure and entertainment activities that characterise the boulevard lifestyle.”

The Loft Towers offer panoramic views over the signature projects on the northern crescent of Downtown Burj Dubai. The project is also in close proximity to Burj Dubai, billed to be the tallest tower in the world, and The Dubai Mall, the world’s largest shopping destination.

The East and West towers are 30 storeys high and the Central tower is 26-storeyed. A perfect urban lifestyle choice offering easy access to all commercial and financial nerve-centres in Dubai, The Loft Towers will be serviced by the Burj Dubai Tram and is only two tram stations away from the Burj Dubai Metro station.

“Residents at The Loft Towers can also access air-conditioned arcades on the Lofts from each tower lobby,” said Ms Kayed. “During summer, the arcade serves as a comfortable shopping environment, and in winter, it will enrich the boulevard experience further by serving as an inviting outdoor passage.”

Amenities at The Loft Towers include a swimming pool, fitness centre, changing rooms, meeting rooms and multi-purpose rooms. Residents and visitors can access five parking levels. “The amenities and easy access to key workplaces in Dubai make The Loft Towers an ideal residence for professionals, who like to stay connected with what is happening in and around the city,” added Ms Kayed.

Amlak Finance is offering easy home finance for potential home owners and investors. Finance of up to 96 per cent will be offered for tenures of up to 25 years. “The Loft Towers is a centrally located residential development and assures high returns making it an ideal investment option. The monthly installments are competitive compared to the rents they would pay for living in similar environments thus making our package ideal for potential home-owners,” said Khalid Zainal, Head of Sales and Distribution of Amlak Finance.

Potential home-owners can discover the unique living experience offered by the project by visiting Downtown Burj Dubai sales centre. Pre-registration will begin on December 12 and close on December 13 at 7pm. The launch is set for December 14, 2006. Sales staff from Emaar will assist in the pre-registration and sales process. They can also call toll-free number 800-EMAAR for more information.

The AED 73 billion (US$20 billion) Downtown Burj Dubai is Emaar’s flagship project and will be a mixed-use 500-acre community combining commercial, residential, hotel, entertainment, shopping and leisure outlets in open green spaces dotted with lakes and other water features. Other components include The Old Town, The Old Town Island, Burj Views, The Residences, The Lofts and Loft Towers, 8 Boulevard Walk, South Ridge and Burj Dubai Lake Hotel and Serviced Apartments.

Burj Dubai Lake is 12 hectare!!! = 29 acres of man made lake. here's some pic's of this might huge man made lake http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/7701/img6144wj8av4.th.jpg (http://img295.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img6144wj8av4.jpg)http://img430.imageshack.us/img430/39/img6145ol4qn0.th.jpg (http://img430.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img6145ol4qn0.jpg)http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/9164/img6146gy3ds0.th.jpg (http://img527.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img6146gy3ds0.jpg)

does anybody have any new pic's of the hole site or any new pic's or info

^^ How about posting some pics of the new model that's in the cityscape thread

hi
in your plot map the position / location of emaar towers is in the wrong location.

^^ indeed, they are situated between the Business Complex and Burj Dubai.

Emaar unveiled Burj Views podium apartments in Downtown Burj Dubai
Mashreqbank is offering up to 95 per cent finance to own affordable homes in the project within the city’s vibrant downtown development.

The podium apartments are located on four floors and form an integral part of the three-tower Burj Views. The project features amenities such as swimming pools, fitness centre, steam rooms, squash courts, games room, indoor children’s play area, private garden courts and retail facilities.

“With its three-towers plus podium architecture, Burj Views is a unique development tucked comfortably along the outer edge of Downtown Burj Dubai,” said Ms Bahiya Kayed, Assistant Director of Sales, Emaar Properties. “The Burj Views residences were launched earlier to enthusiastic investor response and now Emaar is offering homes on the podium, including studio, one and two-bedroom apartments and duplexes. They are ideal for single executives, couples and small families.”

Dedicated elevators are provided for the podium units within each Burj Views tower. The podium will feature a leisure deck, garden courts and pool decks that can be accessed through common lobbies.

“The podium residences are also ideal for investors looking for attractive returns,” added Kayed. “The homes suit the needs of short-term residents and visitors, who will find the central location of Burj Views easy enough to access the commercial and entertainment components within Downtown Burj Dubai.”

Mashreqbank is offering up to 95 per cent finance on the homes that are priced from AED793,888 for a studio to AED2.68 million for a two-bedroom apartment. “Mashreqbank is a pioneer in giving new and innovative financial solutions to cater for all the needs of our clients. The easy financial scheme is for tenures of up to 25 years and offers potential home-owners the advantage of saving on rents,” said Nabeel Malik, Chief Marketing Officer, Mashreqbank.

Complementing the overall colour scheme of Burj Views, the podium will be clad in warm granite colours. The retail frontage will also have clear glass partitions that can be opened during winter.

Burj Views comprise two towers of 30 floors each and one tower of 26 floors. In all, the project will have 736 apartment units – including the podium homes - and 1,800 sq m of retail space. A temperature controlled arcade, accessible from each tower, will offer a shopping environment along the podium.

Potential home-owners can discover the living experience offered by the Burj Views on visiting the Downtown Burj Dubai sales centre. Pre-registration will begin on December 19 and close on December 20. The launch is set for December 21, 2006. Sales staff from Emaar will assist in the pre-registration and sales process. They can also call toll-free number 800-EMAAR for more information.

The AED 73 billion (US$20 billion) Downtown Burj Dubai is Emaar’s flagship project and will be a mixed-use 500-acre community combining commercial, residential, hotel, entertainment, shopping and leisure outlets in open green spaces dotted with lakes and other water features. At its epicenter is Burj Dubai, billed to be the world’s tallest tower when completed in 2008. Other components include The Old Town, The Old Town Island, The Residences, The Lofts and Loft Towers, 8 Boulevard Walk, South Ridge and Burj Dubai Lake Hotel and Serviced Apartments. here's the link http://www.propertyworldme.com/content/html/1785.asp

^^ thanks Imre, the hole site looks great and greenish

i love burj dubai and its comunity

there was a pic of the BD in the KT business section saying tha dubai mall will have 1200 shops and will be 12.1m sq ft.

R

^^ that sounds just about right, but i found a link showing it will have
1400 shops
and A total of 9.6 million sq/ft with over 5.6 million sq/ft for lease.
so if you add the 9.6 and 5.6 = 15.2 MILLION SQ/FT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^ that is old information, saying 9.6 in total with 5.6m of it to lease.

This is what is being build on the West corner of the site, almost behind Millenium Tower:

http://i12.tinypic.com/4e01np2.jpg

It seams to be a midrise.

those are indeed the best shots ever. if this isn't history rising.. what is?

has dubai mall slowed down??

^^ i dont think so Krazy

has dubai mall slowed down??

i noticed this as well but it seems the structure is merely completed now.

^^ merely or nearly completed? BIG difference :)

even if the parts of the roof etc are not yet completed, this might seems as a slowdown in construction.

There is so much work to do on the interior of the Mall. I don't think it will be finished until early 2008. And the rumor about cracks in the foundation of Burj Dubai is false. The person that started the rumors is likely laughing his ass off. Because he got so many people worrying about something that doesn't exist. :bash:

^^ that's what i thought, i knew something wasn't right about that rumor.
oh when does The Residences 3 start

:omg::omg::omg::eek2::eek2::eek2: VERY NICE PICS, look how big Burj Dubai looks compard to that crawler crane next to the Dubai mall

the lake and park look TINY!!

^^ they don't look that big but they similar to the renders. quite ok to me.

^^ no guy in Dubai is right the lake and the park look tiny. i noticed the lake in certain parts has been changed to a smaller amount, and some part's they now have put more land with grass and trees http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/5374/burjdubaiggggggggggggggel8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
then on this pic there's no piece of landhttp://img403.imageshack.us/img403/7074/newburjdubairender3dc5.jpg (http://imageshack.us)


and the park has been in certain areas widen. http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/3376/3527220702bc897da5ebbyvrd4.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

see the difference

they might take that land out? fingers crossed

your outlines of the park are wrong!

u need to look at the masterplan to compare and except for a small part near the lake hotel i think it is exactly the same.

That comparison is from different sides the Island between the Residences and the Burj has always been there !!

It is to be Park Land.

^^ no no he is talking about a small section of land added where burj dubai and dubaimall meet.

the park is his 2nd point.

Could someone tell me what tower is it on the right of the first photo in post #32, the one with a podium and square floorplate, bordering Business Bay?

8 boulevard walk.

Thanks, Dubaiflo!

when will residence 3 start ? look's like there pill testing for the Emaar tower's
http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/8697/352722077a3a2645bc2bjjjsz3.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

^^ this is the site of residences 3 (boulevard crescents) and they have obviously started enabling works.

as for Emaar towers, yes they started it seems.

They'd better move their asses and build more towers otherwise the BD complex will be a construction site for 15 years. Still about a hundred towers to go

^^ malec is right they better move there ass

a hundred? where does this number come from..
however i agree, but most of the towers will be on the outer boarder of the complex, e.g next to burj views and 8 boulevard walk etc.

^^ there hasn't been names or proposals for most of the towers on the outer boarder of the complex

a hundred? where does this number come from..
however i agree, but most of the towers will be on the outer boarder of the complex, e.g next to burj views and 8 boulevard walk etc.

Check the latest cityscape images

^^ i can't find them can you post the link

^^ They're on the first page of this thread

^^ i don't count 100 towers on there but even if we are talking about 70, let's say we have burj, Bdlh, dmh, emaar towers (2), residences (18) south ridge (6), 8BW, views (3), lofts (3), the downtown one by hydra
we are close to 40 launched already. ^^ and most of those are UC.

the ones missing will be in line with 8bw and burj views at the boarders imo.

Yes there are 100 towers. First of all there's burj dubai, lake hotel, mall hotel, 2 aedas towers, the two hotels near szr and two more small towers. Then there are around 40 towers from south ridge up to dubai mall, 30 towers from residences phase 1 and 2 to business bay and another 30 from residences phase 3 to the szr towers

The 29 top of the range villas in The Residences – some of the most prestigious homes to emerge to date from the Burj Dubai Development will go on sale Thursday, developer Emaar announced Wednesday.


The villas offer spacious luxury and one of Dubai’s most desirable locations in the six The Residences towers. The 1, 2 and 3 bedroom villas covering from 994 to 2,799 sq ft in living space, go on sale on Thursday, August 25 from 3pm at the Downtown Living Presentation Centre within the Burj Dubai Development. The 2 and 3 bedroom villas are two-storey with a lower floor terrace.



Naaman Atallah, Director of Sales for Emaar Properties, said: “The villas offer some of the most desirable properties available in the Burj Dubai Development. The new owners will have all the space associated with villa living and the advantages that stem from being located at the heart of Downtown Dubai one of the most invigorating and exciting venues in the emirate. It offers lifestyle living at its best.”



The villas are within easy reach of the Burj Dubai lakes, ideally placed to share the gentle charm of The Old Town or the urban chic of the Burj Dubai Boulevard with its multitude of dining, socializing and shopping experiences. Their design is simple yet stylishly elegant and will offer a visual contrast as Downtown Dubai takes shape.



Facilities for residents include swimming pools, a squash court, a golf simulation room, fitness centre, a mini theatre, library, business centre and guest suite. The homes feature the latest in IT and communications technology, 24-hour security and maintenance, basement parking and a concierge.



“The Residences at the Burj Dubai reflect Emaar’s commitment to delivering luxury while providing residents with dream homes in a unique environment,” Atallah said.

^^ first photo is the best perspective, love it.


that aerial is interesting. is this phase3 of the residences, which would mean the towers on SZR side of the complex, labelled Boulevard Crescents are actually NOT phase 3?

maybe it is also some other work, but seems like there will be towers, even though the masterplans do not show them and also, the boulevard road will run there??

there denieing it now, but we dont have to worry about it being 808m or more. because it will be 808m or more for sure ;)

It will be 768m + pinnacle, that is the only unknown factor in the height of Burj Dubai. If pinnacle = 40m, then Burj Dubai = 808m

i still can't believe the pinnacle is only40m

Well nobody states its 40m, it is just a guess.

^^ well i know that, i'm hoping for a 85m spire cuz it would make the Burj Dubai to a total 853.5m in ft that's 2,800!!!!!!!, if this really happens then there's only 483m left till 853.5m. i wonder how long it takes to build the spire

wow, that under construccion skyline pictures looks amazing, the burj dubai looks really huge and tall

THER IS NOTHING LIKE DUBAI IN THE WORLD.
THIS CITY IS THE EPICENTER OF THE FUTURE:applause:

Emaar launches Downtown Burj Dubai 'Special Collection' homes

Emaar Properties has launched some of the finest collection of homes in Downtown Burj Dubai, some offering spectacular views of Burj Dubai.

http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/7/37097-Artist.jpg
Artist rendering of Downtown Burj Dubai.

These premier apartments are located in various residential projects within the 500-acre development. Sales will begin on March 18 with financial institutions offering easy home finance options.

'Burj Dubai, on its course to become the world's tallest tower, is already the tallest structure in the Middle East and Europe,' said Mr Hussein A. Belshalat, Senior Sales Manager, Emaar Properties. 'We are now releasing for sale some premium homes within Downtown Burj Dubai.'

Burj Dubai forms the epicenter of Downtown Burj Dubai, and will feature several apartments, commercial space, fitness facilities and The Armani Hotel, Dubai, the luxury hospitality venture of Emaar in association with haute couture major Giorgio Armani S.p.A.

'The one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses on offer assure significant advantages to potential home-owners apart from the views they guarantee,' added Mr Belshalat.

'Homes in Downtown Burj Dubai are much sought after for their central location, which offers easy access to all the key nerve-centres of Dubai including the Dubai International Financial Centre, Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City and Knowledge Village. It is also a rare investment opportunity as the homes assure good rental income and returns on investment.'

The AED 73 billion (US$20 billion) Downtown Burj Dubai is the flagship development of Emaar and brings in a new vibrant lifestyle to Dubai. Residents can enjoy an array of entertainment facilities and also be next-door to The Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping destination.

Nice!! But the hole thing looks so build up. I don't think it will feel like a real city, but very ghostly among these tall buildings.

^^ don't get what you are talking about.

^^ He's comparing it with the "almighty" Bronx.

lol like always...dubai vs manhattan

http://i7.tinypic.com/2pzwtbp.jpg

Cooling plant, what is it supposed to do. I guess anything with an epithet of "cooling" or anything which refers to temperatures below 30 degrees is appreciated in Dubai.

_______________________

Personally i dont care about people saying its synthetical, "built up" totally irrational btw, of course its built), stating its not a real city, not natural. A city can be developed in many ways, and its not a natural things in any part. There is nothing bad at all in having a well planned city instead of growing it unrestrictedly for centuries. In fact planned cities have many advantages. Alotugh i know Dubai isnt ompletely such a planned city.

If you like natural, "real" things, then go outside the cities in the nature, preserve and give room for that. And what better way is it to keeping space for these really natural things than by having wellplanned cities for humans.

EDIT - Double post

^^ There's a new more eficent method for cooling down buildings, called District Cooling. You run through them a pipe network filled with chilled water. As a result there's 30% saving in energy, becouse of the less load on the A/C system of the building.

The water, which is recirculated continuosly, is chilled on plants, and that is what they are building there, of course with a fancy exteriour not tro spoil the views.

All the new mega projects (BD Downtown, The Palm, Marina, JLT etc) make use of this technology, including most of the new SZR towers. The towers themselvs even have less A/C machineries, therefore more usable aerea.

lol like always...dubai vs manhattan

Well ppl can compare the two all they want but Dubai has warmer weather, MUCH better architecture, and awsome beaches.

you can't NY with Dubai, that are completely different city's

yeah..you cant compare two cities that are relatively different..but people still do it

:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: Wow!!! Unbelievable!!! I didn't know where to look. Marvelous proyect. The ancient buildings the best idea.

"Sofitel The Palace opens in Old Town Island at Downtown Burj Dubai this summer

Paris (February 13, 2007) – Sofitel, the prestige brand of the Accor hotels, continues its expansion in the
Middle East, with the opening in July 2007, of a second hotel in Dubai, Sofitel The Palace." (...)

The rest of the press release here:
http://www.sofitel.com/gb/docs/corporate/sofitel_sofiteloldtown_gb.pdf

I think the burj dubai tower will be the highest long time,because his height is over 850 meters and it's very big height advantege by over 300 meters from the taibai 101(508meters) .

but taibai 101 has only 56 meters advantege from the petronas towers(452 meters).

it's will be very difficult to build tower higher than burj dubai ,because building floors in heights over 850 meters is dangerous because of the wind condition ,the weight of so many floors can get the building colapse .:ohno: http://keep4u.ru/imgs/s/070420/a44ae2e81b14adb90c.jpg (http://keep4u.ru/full/070420/a44ae2e81b14adb90c/jpg)[/IMG]

No, the core will be added to by the wings as they catch up. Everywhere you see that flat wall of cement, there will follow a wing.

I am visiting dubai in august will i be able to see burj dubai as WTB

^^ yes you will see the burj dubai as WTB when you go to Dubai

NO. It will be wtb in September

He will see it as the WTB....think about it....it only needs to go another 120 feet or so to pass T101. I see that happening in late June or early July.

I can't find the threads about 8 Boulevard Walk and the Mall Hotel. WTF? Are there any updates on these two? And what happened with the threads?

Check the changes on the Masterplan, especially on the corner near defence r/a. There use to be 2 tall towers in front of the Business Park, now there are a smaller twin towers replacing them. Check also what seams to be a huge parking lot, just outside the perimeter where the Metro Station is.

Interesting also the very tall Residences Phase 4 or 5 ... They seam like 250 meters tall. :cheers:

Burj Dubai Towering Over 101



This Saturday the Burj Dubai will officially become the world’s tallest structure, eclipsing the reigning champ, Taiwan's Taipei 101.

The building was last measured at 507.3 metres and 140 floors.


Project managers today refused to elaborate further on its current height - they would only say July 21 would be the record-breaking moment.

http://www.xpress4me.com/news/uae/dubai/20002074.html


So guys the height will be released in 4 days time.

No mames, esta bien chingona esta pinche torre pero siento que se va a caer de lo largaaa, cuantos metros lleva?

The September should be the Date when Burj Dubai will be the tallest structure (higher than CN Tower, 553m).

Hi everyone. Can anyone tell me if there is a Burj Residences II thread? any help is highly apreciated.

And, thanks everyone for the valuable information you share for newcomers in Dubai, as myself.

The Mall in the Burj Dubai Complex will be the biggest in the world right?

Only until the Mall of Arabia in the City of Arabia (Dubailand) will be finished.

^^ What kind of time-frame are we looking at here? The Mall in Dubai Complex will be completed long before Mall of Arabia, right?

Boulevard Central

Some shots from Samer Kallas on flickr. It seems they have since disappeared though. Strange and a shame since there were tons of great shots from about 70 floors up the rose rotana. These were the only ones I got.

Floor Plans of Burj

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi I am Planning to do a Small paper on the ROI of Burj Dubai. For this need the floor plans and the overall master plan. I have thanks to Imre and other member collected a lot of data however I havent been able to gather Floor Plans. If any of you have posted it or seen it posted somewhere All Help will be great fully appreciated.

The index looks like it hasn't grown much since a while!

^^ Yeah but the facade does look good doesn't it! And something like 50 floors to go yet, right? :)

Wonderful building!:cheers:

Just wondering, how deep will the water be in and around the Burj Dubai Complex? I'm guessing not too deep... Can't wait to "see" it in there though!:cheers:

^^ It'll be as deep as paddling pool

^^ :lol:

Thanks malec!:cheers:

The Burj Dubai is just amazing... A testament to the success of Dubai and the innovation of people!!!

The water wont look so blue! and the floor of the lake will be seen!

^^ Isn't there any kind of special tiling they could use to make the water appear bluer? :dunno:

launch again:)

Although i don't think it would look nice; they can apply that later on, simple 1 sheet layer on top of glazing...

Downtown Model looks amazing, for sure!

I agree, that model does look awesome, but in reality I think silver would make Burj Dubai look fake!!

I would liked to have seen the tower in jet black!:lol:

Any pics from Boulevard Plaza ? It´s U/C !? :runaway: ^^

hi guys, I'm new in this forum, I'm into the pools and fountain's thing so I would like to know if any of you get some info about the lake's fountain, the only thing I know is that the contractor company will be "wet design" which is the same company behind the burj al arab and bellagio fountains. thanks

Downtown Burj Dubai gets temporary mosque


Dubai: Emaar Properties has opened a temporary mosque at The Old Town Sales Centre in Downtown Burj Dubai to add to the convenience of the new residents at The Old Town residential development during Ramadan. "The temporary mosque will serve the local community, offering a central area to worship without having to travel far, and it highlights our commitment to our customers to enhance their quality of living," said Ahmad Juma Al Falasi, Executive Director, Asset Management, Emaar Properties PJSC. Additional prayer rooms are available at Yansoon 9, close to Downtown Burj Dubai Customer Centre at The Old Town and at Al Manzil Souk.

^^ great move from emaar .....i hope they will be one like shike zaid mosque in that area too

You are right that WET DESIGN is assigned to the fountain but they are not the contractor, they are the designer and installer of the equipment. The contractor is Al Futtaim Carillion. They are doing the lake and the foundation work right now.

You may not know this but Wet Design came on board just months ago. There was Japanese/Chinese design firm that was doing it before. Since the designer change the fountain has gone under a complete revision. Some of the features will be the same such as: fire torches, water screens w/projectors, 120m high water jets, mist features, etc.

The current foundation/footprint will be changed but not completely. There will be about 6 underground service rooms and many service tunnels.

Part of the redesign, I believe, is the ensure that it will be the best in the world. I actually watched a presentation by Wet Design for the Bellagio Hotel at my university in California 7 years ago and they are sure to amaze.

Anybody know what grade of steel was used in constructing this building?

Souk Al Bahar opens in december

I really like those fountains. Though 120m high water fountains ??? That's just insane...

^^ Dubai is insane Sander-!:yes: :lol:

^^Cool shots!:) What is that little building at the foot (to the left in photos and right in front of Burj Dubai Mall) of Burj Dubai?

Imre, these photos are from a great perspective! How did you get them? Were you on a commercial or private plane?

As for the building to the left of the picture and between the Burj Dubai and Dubai Mall is an office building. The other one on the opposite side(which is also smaller) is the same.

^^Thanks.:)

How is the parking system for the Burj gonna work? I thought these two smaller buildings are parkings (now that I thing about it they seem to small for that puspose...), but if they really are office buildings what will all these people working/living here do with their vechicles?

^^ Underground.

^^How many parking spaces over how many levels?

^^ I don't know but the underground space it's not beneath the tower itself, but beneath the podium area around it.

^^Thanks Altin.

Interesting that the parking space is under the podium area instead of the tower... I'm guessing a hell of a lot of parking spaces to service the world's tallest skyscraper!

^^ I would think safety reasons as well. ;)

^^Yeah, that might be a good idea actually. :D

wooooooooowwww!!!!!!....mega tower!!!!!!!!....

why does the Burj look like its tilting to the left in these pics? Awesome shots btw, Imre--thanks :)

Cause imre can't hold his camera right ;)

Seriuosly, it's straight up, although I can already picture some tower claiming to be "the tallest leaning tower of the world" somewhere in Dubai. "Leaning tower of Dubai", LOL. Maybe somewhere in Dubailand?

I took these pics from helicopter.

Burj Dubai always looks like it's tilting in most photos anyway.... or does it???:runaway:

not if u incline ur self on right axis to see it well ....:lol:

^^ Yes, but then you might be inclined to tilt over yourself right? :lol:

honestly, is it just an optical illusion with the setbacks and the ultra-thinness of the upper heights?

Optical illusion my arse! Stop trying to cover-up for Emaar's fundamental flaw in buidling this tower, much like that little tower in Italy. I'm sick of it. If you'd all just admit it, then maybe we can move on and begin accepting that it is tilting to the left side all along and indeed this will be one of its famous features, rather like that tower in Italy.

^^ If you think it's tilting now just wait until they stick that 4,000 tons of steel up there! :runaway:

It makes sense now given the insistence of reaching 15 million tourists by 2010. Millions will flock to Dubai to see the world tallest, tilting tower. All I have to do is publish this single pic with a short story on arabianbusiness.com about the popularity of tilting towers for sight-seeing, and then watch the news spread across the world like wild-fire.

I can just picture the award-giving ceremony held in my name, from Sheikh Mohammed, for doubling tourism figures overnight.

Tate, should I take the 2mg pill with water or just chew it?

You guys have gone mental ... :ohno:


























... who in his sane mind doesn't know how a pill is taken and have to ask others for it.

I'd go with the water Naz, I mean you don't want any bad taste in your mouth right? Knock it back, swallow, put the feet up and relaaaaaaaaax:okay:

are there already some pictures taken from the temporary top of the burj?

great chat, but that only prepare us for the occasion, and if that burj one day is leaning, I believe it would be an empty burj as well ...

^^ If you think it's tilting now just wait until they stick that 4,000 tons of steel up there! :runaway:

Tate, predicted wind drift at communication level +604.9m is in the region of 1.45m so the pills will need an extra tilt of the glass for the water.
