Both the colour and pattern of the cladding have a resemblance to the cladding on 23 Marina (http://i40.tinypic.com/29qftkz.jpg)

The cladding looks very great. :okay:

If u think of the roof height when toped out, it will be almost as high as the index! I mean with out the spire.....intresthing, specially when u expect its much taller!

Hey, Business Bay is taking shape, here with a nice group of new 200m+ towers: DIP Office Tower I (46 floors) to the left should be on that list, as well as the "veteran" from 2008, The Citadel (201m), and the still growing 60-storey Churchill Residency right behind.

Did I forget something? ... Oh well, Emirates Park Towers must've broken the 200m-limit recently, too. And they go up quickly: two new levels for the left tower in a week, and one for the right. :cheers2:

BB is developing into another cluster/concentration of skyscrapers - like Canary Wharf.

where is canary wharf?

^^Its the skyscraper district in London, GB.

Oh, I see. very nice area indeed!!

BB is developing into another cluster/concentration of skyscrapers - like Canary Wharf.

Yes, it seems also a little bit isolated from the actual city center. At least here from a distance. How do the Dubai people think about it?

Yes, it seems also a little bit isolated from the actual city center. At least here from a distance. How do the Dubai people think about it?

True of Canary Wharf also. It is about 6 miles away from the traditional City of London skyscrapers. In Dubai you have a third cluster - the Business Bay.

Marriott has been appointed operator of the Park Towers, a 1,614-room twin-tower hotel and apartment property, which Emirates is currently constructing on Sheikh Zayed Road, next to to Dubai’s Business Bay district.

Under Marriott management, the property will be branded as one of the top-of-the-range JW Marriott Marquis luxury hotels.

This will include two guest room towers rising from a six-story building housing lobby and public space. The first 807-room tower is scheduled to open in 2011 and the second tower in 2013.

:cheers:

You really have to indentify where is City center in Dubai. Is it Dubai creek and Deira? or SZR north? or is it Burj Dubai area? that if we execlude the marina area as its part of the new Dubai, which maybe in my opinion should be the DT area for Dubai!

The first 807-room tower is scheduled to open in 2011 and the second tower in 2013.

No difference yet between the construction of both towers but I wonder why they will split up the construction process..

But thanks for the news however, sounds good!

Is it lev 47?

Level 39 actually. At least that's what the boards says.

^^
saeed is right. If you count the number of levels in the pic there are about 47.

^^ The number 39 refers to the number of regular floors that are located above the Ground, Mezzanine and Podium levels.

^^ So does this mean there will be 77 floors not including the podium at completion? !
for example 77+8= 85
or its just a method of counting repeated floors?

^^ There are no repeated floors. 77 is the total number of above-ground floors.

They are already really tall towers and are large than their near neighbors. Nice procress in a half year (pics from DesertDiver):

Thread in Dubai forum, SZR: DIP Tower (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=518907)

37 more floors!, thnx for the update 234sale

^^ Less then that. 77 would the total number of floors including Ground, mezzanine and Podium levels.

I would say less then 30 remaining.

Yeah, there will be very tall spire here!!

With the Lama Towers cross the street it will look like a WoooooW section of SZR!:nuts:

A rarity! This actually seems to be faithfully following the renderings! I was hoping these would be as close to the drawings as possible.

It is good to see something rise in decent speed during these times... :okay:

^^ I dont think they afford not to!:lol:
U spent way too much until this stage where u cant stop!

respekt these two towers grow fast! Also they look very good but I'm not sure if Dubai has enough Hotels?? But they have the money:lol: Can't wait to see them completed

I can't wait for them to be completed, too :)
Two of the most astounding skyscrapers in Dubai with Burj Al Alam, in my opinion...
Are they likely to be topped out by the end of this year, or do we have to wait until 2010?

Can't find it anywhere. Doesn't say anything about the height here: http://www.emporis.com/ge/wm/cx/?id=115348 . It does however say it will be completed in 2010 and that it will only have 70 floors, but that could be without mech floors.

However in some news articles it does say it will be 376 metres : http://www.theage.com.au/news/business/multiplex-wins-715m-dubai-hotel-contract/2007/06/20/1182019182437.html and here https://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidZAWYA20070621050220/Multiplex%20Awarded%20Contract%20to%20Build%20Emirates%20Park%20Towers%20Hotel%20in%20Dubai and 395 metres I can only find on this forum and on wikipedia (but that's probably put there by skyscrapercity members)

Thx a lot, that's enough info !

Height is changed !

PS: 80 floors high??!! Title?

On the renders of the entry post, I count 70 floors.

Let's see if the design has changed as much adding 10 storeys... the only difference I recognize so far is the converse alignment of the craning parts on the facade.

Height is changed !

Thats not true :cry:

19 meters down !! :hm: Not that terrible !! :)

Now it makes more sense that they don't make it 400+ meters. If it would have been 395 they only had to add 5 meters and it would be 400 meters.

how tall are they without the spire?

^^

320m each.

That means the Index roof is higher!!!!
why dont they stop here and get over with it.....such losers!!
I really hate those towers now:tiasd:

^why? there great designs. height is sometimes irrelavant in skyscraper design. what ever looks good i say/

i could be wrong, but this is updated drawing
i count only 70 floors and current height is 59th/235m/

It can't have 26 floors to go. The spire is 65 meters long. So 376-65-current height 240= 71 meters until spire, and I think in the highest part there won't be real floors which have hotel rooms in them. Someone said that lowest 10 floors aren't counted in the labelling. So if it would be actually 61 floors atm, it would sound more believable. Only 16 floors to go.

53th Floor, as + 7 for podium = 60ish floor

^^

Ah ok so 16 floors to go is through. Almost there, it can be done before end of 2009.

im very confused here. anyhow ive worked out that the first 8 levels or so are equal to 12 hotel floors in actual height. so 55 + 12=67fl. or they are now up to main roof height of 282m.?
Also works out that those 3 sets of white angled structures which rise up the bldg, (each 12floors) you can see these in the photos, have 12 foors above the highest one which also means they have started on the first stepped in section above main roof.
so these arent far from topping out.

i think now they are gonna raise the spire

Any updates for these would be welcome to see how the top part looks right now!
:cheers:

http://i33.tinypic.com/x0traq.jpg

^^Great progress of this awesome cladding! But difficult to tell the floor number... Btw Sale, do you have a new zoom!

^remember the floor count doesnt include the 9 below the hotel floors.(where cladding starts)
i count 63 hotel floors up to inside corebx. so add 9, thats=72.
they are nearly upto the main roof area.my diagram back on aug26 is wrong.
if avergae floor height= 3.65m? current height would make it 262m.?

Es espectacular dubai y su gran cantidad de rascacielos,realmente una ciudad alucinante

^ English please.. Don't forget English is the number 1 world language and not Spanish.

The cladding looks sweet. Nice updates..

I still think it's around 300m now. Just look here, vision tower is 260m high.

http://i30.tinypic.com/sl1i61.jpg

I still think it's around 300m now. Just look here, vision tower is 260m high.

But vision tower is some rows behind. Good reference would be the DIP Tower on the left side of the EPTs. But we have no real height of DIP Tower...

I looked for the Millenium Tower. It is in the same row like EPTs. And Millenium Tower is 280m. And EPTs are some meters higher...so they hit 300m?!

Agreed, must be above 300m.

So 10 to go !

I still think it's around 300m now. Just look here, vision tower is 260m high.

http://i30.tinypic.com/sl1i61.jpg
yeah sounds like it.
lev62 is now in corebox. not including 9 below hotel floors starts. so its about 71 floors high now.
right
ive worked out this thus far. if typical hotel floors are 4m high. thats 62x 4=248m
the 9 floors from grd to first hotel floor are equal to 13 hotel floo heights or 52m.
so 248m + 52m= 300m!

i must be getting close with diagram estimates?

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2466/3970811324_bc1a45dd39_b.jpg

^^^^
EXACTLY 300m?? thats a little bit unrealistic...
but btw nice diagram cul :banana:

I'm not convinced that the towers should be at the top of the tier already, as the lateral edges still don't jut out.

Great cladding btw! :)

yeah cladding is spectacular!

OMG that arabians are good for this stuff...
BTW I don´t like the Burj, I think it looks kinda ugly :)

Great, 2 months and they are topped out !

^^ No design change so far. It is as extravagant as the renders suggest, you just have to wait for the cladding on those parts to be completed but I can assure you that the almost completed sections (you can't see them on the pictures posted) look such and more. :cheers:

Looking great, thanks for the photos! :cheers:

Topped out? Maybe just reconfiguring for the upper levels. Certainly not topped out since there's still rebar sticking up.

can anyone tell me kindly whats the height of the churchil tower in the back of these towers?
I think it gotta be 240m plus!!

If you look at both towers at once (http://i37.tinypic.com/24cfotl.jpg) now, the stepped jutty parts make arrows facing upwards (instead of downwards) from that viewpoint.

did they changed the design?
there are 4x3 wings instead of 3x3...

^^ they must have. 4x3 looks better though thank goodness they didnt mess that up.

Of course they did. The wings also rise inward instead of outward now.

Rented an helicopter?

hou many floors?

I think these twins would look much better without the spire. But they are great anyway!

^^ No big steps forward visible for EPT.
If you compare the third picture with the left tower on 21/Nov/2009 by Imre (http://i47.tinypic.com/o6jhhf.jpg), it even looks as if a bit from the two upper floors have been removed meanwhile (together with formwork)... or maybe I'm wrong... ???

Just saw this BlackBerry add while I was browsing on the Internet and it has the Emirates Park Towers in it (at 23 seconds).

This is a couple of months old now. I was going to post it when I first seen it, but it wasn't on YT yet.

But it's awesome that they show the towers. Even under construction they look awesome.

They are already dominating the skyline in Business Bay and west of Burj Dubai, I thought they were close to topping out but I was proved wrong. Another 13 floors plus spire left to be built and already incredibly high and awesome looking.

It is a shame that these two beauties remain the only supertalls that will be completed in BB for years. Really would have liked to see The Skyscraper, BAA and Signature Towers in this area too.

...I thought they were close to topping out but I was proved wrong. Another 13 floors plus spire left to be built and already incredibly high and awesome looking. ...Agree on what you say about Business Bay - but there aren't that much floors left anymore. If I got it right, we must add the 8 level tall podium to the "T-levels" to receive the floor number. Furthermore, signs for the two finished levels above T64 are missing, and above there's (at least) one more visible in the center.

So IMO it's 8 + 64 + 2 + 1 = 75 floors.:)

Btw., on this 25/November/2009 pic by Imre (http://i50.tinypic.com/2u9l8py.jpg), the floor above "T64" is labelled "SF4", so I think that's the first roof service floor.

I still wonder what both crowns will look like in the end - the narrow sides just don't jut out above floor 60 and step back several times near the top, as it was supposed to be. Of course that would be a nice surprise to see that jut out happen further up, so EPTs would have +80 floors in the end, but I don't believe this actually.

There are no more regular floors to be build.

LOL That's a great way to describe it! It's called Iris Bay (one of my fav's).

Spires still missing ...

Awesome towers..........

I think both exteriors will be complete by end of 2010 (Q4). I hope I am not overly optimistic.

Nice pics.....

well that woud be nice but i think Q1-2 2011 is much more realistic.

Is it just me or has there been very little progress here over the past two months?

You are right. But it isn't dead.

I hope so! It's an amazing design!

What's the height now?

Close to T/O, spire will be quite big, so around ~320m I would guess.
