You would imagine the stunning view of 2 super tall set of twin towers on both sides of SZR.......very sad really! Eric Offereins March 10th, 2011, 10:48 PM The cladding looks really good. Definitely among the best towers in Dubai. :) Dan Hochhaus April 4th, 2011, 11:46 PM Two updates from skyscraperlist.com (http://www.skyscraperlist.com/showthread.php?34-EMIRATES-PARK-TOWERS-HOTEL-SPA-2-X-77F-Hotel-376m/page6) 26/March/2011 from 234sale - lights on: http://i56.tinypic.com/id6s11.jpg http://i55.tinypic.com/2r44yaa.jpg 29/March/2011 from 234sale - first octaeder unveiled, cladding at the top: http://i53.tinypic.com/11vgl6o.jpg http://i56.tinypic.com/2ahb7n5.jpg Eastern37 April 5th, 2011, 08:29 AM ^^ What will these be cladded with? charles54 April 6th, 2011, 08:35 PM wheres the diamonds? Dan Hochhaus April 7th, 2011, 01:23 AM wheres the diamonds?We used to call that feature around the lower part of the spire "diamonds"... when the metal grid is clad in light color (whatever material it will be), each of them might look a bit like a gemstone from far.

AltinD June 10th, 2011, 12:59 PM ^^ Yes. One is pure hotel, the other will probably be mostly hotel-apartments ... though I don't discard the possibility of commercial spaces one them (office space).

These towers look great...shame about the tallest block AltinD November 6th, 2011, 01:25 PM ^^ There's a design limitation with residential towers ... but yeah, it could have been much better, but it is NOT an eyesore, not in a million years. Kycon November 6th, 2011, 01:51 PM Although they look almost complete, they are far from done. I had the chance to visit the site with my uni for a study tour two months back and the internals are from done. From what I understand is that emirates and another property developer in the region have been squeezed by the last gfc, and the money trickling towards this project is being very limited.

AltinD January 19th, 2012, 12:50 PM I just hope they don't "forget" to clad and leave the diamonds on top, bare as they are now :ohno: Dan Hochhaus January 19th, 2012, 01:22 PM ^^ But these fine metal frames are way more than just a setting for "diamond" glass cladding. Light from behind can shine through them, so isn't there a transparent or glittering effect, especially when one's driving by? Okay, they could clad the octogons or install illumination inside, brighter than at the 23 Marina pinnacle, but it works the subtle way, too. To me, this feature looks okay as it is now. :) Los Earth January 20th, 2012, 08:31 PM Nice! but these towers look like Chinese temples, so IMO they should of been built in China (preferably Shanghai) tim1807 January 20th, 2012, 11:02 PM They are good were they stand.

Ahmad Rashid Ahmad March 8th, 2012, 03:36 PM Dubai's biggest hotel to recruit 1200 http://www.arabianbusiness.com/incoming/article394599.ece/ALTERNATES/g3l/JW+Marriott+Marquis+Hotel+Dubai+%287%29.jpg JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai Up to 1200 hotel employees will be recruited by Marriott International in Dubai for the opening of the first phase of JW Marriott Marquis Dubai in Q4, 2012. Hotel manager Bill Keffer told Hotelier Middle East that 1100-1200 staff would be required for phase one, which comprises 804 rooms and all 12 F&B outlets at the property. The total staff count will rise to around 1300 when another 804 rooms launch in phase two of the hotel opening. This will bring the total number of keys to 1608, making JW Marriott Marquis the largest hotel in Dubai by number of rooms. The property, which features two ballrooms, will specifically target business travellers and the MICE market. General manager Rupprecht Quietsch said: “This hotel is perfectly built and designed for the business traveller and conventions”. He added: “This hotel has facilities that can match a lot of the facilities in Europe and Asia so it is not a only a key hotel in the Dubai market, but we also compete with all kinds of destinations”. kanye March 31st, 2012, 06:28 PM 28 March by jere_israel http://i.imgur.com/H0bNK.jpg Doomlord_uk March 31st, 2012, 11:29 PM Interesting towers!
