only 195m!!! where that will be in SZR?

I think this will be either the one next to Nuaimi Tower, or next to Liberty Tower or next to Al Moosa 1. For the first two we already have threads.

Lootah.. that might quite a good one i hope.
most probably the one near Nuami imo.

what does R mean?

I have already posted this on the Cityscape thread.

So this one is on the other side as well as Lamtara towers?

it somehow reminds me of nuami.

the dome on top looks interesting.

Very nice design. The black is awesome!!!! :eek:

The SZR will look unbelievable.
Crazy idea: They should build towers till they reach the Dubai Marina :D

NICE DESIGN:)

beautiful style and design.

it somehow reminds me of nuami.


I was thinking that, is the black, evil-one expanding his empire? :ohno:

:lol:

a relief... at last a design for SZR that deserves to be on SZR

where has the picture been taken from?

^^ Cityscape 2006

I like the greenery areas, its becoming an increasingly popular feature on skyscrapers these days.

Looks futuristic, specially with the dome on top.

its too short....if it was taller, it would look good because of the top

^^ I presume so but most likely not open to the public

^^ surely not.

btw it look FAT

Another one where the render is likely deceiving (width-wise), but who knows...

this is new style it will be like disease spread on new towers coming up with private garden n swimming pool with each apartments great facilites n more advantages for investor:cheers:

Designed by Zasarchitects.

Site work has already started & expected completions is before the end of 2010.

Fantastic Tower, I can't wait to see some progress! I say go ahead and build it! And why 191 meters? Thats disappointing, should have been 250m min and 330 max.

^^ Height restrictions in that area

Hight restrictions? The airport is nowhere near that area.

:)Our first proposal for this tower was 260m,but as per Height restrictions in that area we reduced the height to 191 meter.

^ Maybe I am missing something here, and sorry if it sounds stupid but... Emirates Towers are tall, the Hardrock Hotel will be even taller, the Rose Rotana is 333 meters, why is this reduced? Whats the limit?

ok one we have a thread for this:
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=427146


and two...isnt Sama tower there? or is this that empty plot???

R

OK threads merged.

Wrong location. It is just 2 plots on the left of the area you marked.

BAUER has been on site for a couple of months already.

The location: next (on the left) of SAMA Tower

http://i10.tinypic.com/6ss0aix.jpg

Cool design, nice dome :okay:

This height restrictions are :bash:

the location is what i have already marked by red color.this is not the right location.:)
its located before sama tower when you enter sheikh zayed road.
The height restrictions are because of civil aviation.there is nothing we can do.The location: next (on the left) of SAMA Tower

^^ Ok fair enough, so it means there are 2 towers to start in that area and Duja will be on the plot I marked in red, while on the other one marked in green will be another tower, unknown to us at this time, and Bauer is already in that site.

However is not clear if something is actually happening on the site.

Thanks for providing this info to us by the way. Just a little question. You say 50 stories, is that including the ground floor and so on?

You're most welcome.Actually its 50+GF+Mezzanine.
i don't know about the green area, i will try to see if i can find sth!

Cheers
:cheers:

someone should change the title...the tower will not have only 5 floors :lol:

"APPROVED: DUJA TOWER, 5F Res, 191m"

Awesome looking tower! Luv this design ... pity it's only 191m, but I think it will still compliment SZR very well.

I love this tower ... it makes me happy !! :banana:

DCA restrictions changed back a few years ago when I first noted it. the reason is the change of the 2nd runway at the airport and it was moved back a bit to allow for duel take off and landing (old runways were too close together).The result is that the emergancy flight paths left and right when landing needed to be moved and these plots and the park lane plots as well as some sharjah plots were reduced

Check the ZETAS tag on the right. It seams they've got the piling/shoring contract and are already on site.

Many workers there and almost above the ground level as I saw from the metro today, should be rising soon.

Maybe a new picture would be good :okay:

Alright, then... here some merged snapshots by me, taken from Gerald's gigapan from Red (http://gigapan.org/gigapans/64973/).

I guess the Duja Tower site should be to the left of slowly rising Burj Al Salam.
Yet I see the two cranes and no construction above ground. Perhaps there's some kind of action below...

You can see in the the picture BURJ AL SALAM under construction.

The Duja Tower is on the left side. Only the two yellow cranes,
but they are standing since 1 year.

Actually there's a 3rd crane comming up, but it seams to be on the parking structure at the back.

very slow this one
