^^ wow, contractors names are great! how about a picture of the building he cut off? :D

hm, so they are building big ones down there
this is the first one in this area

added to emporis

Beaut spot but.... a lil close to those powerstations for me tho :evil:

Surprised that its allowed to be this tall on the land in front of the beach road. This could be a dangerous precedent which could lead to similar buildings being built in front of Ocean Heights, Marina Crown, Le Reve, etc, etc.

Sunbathers can look forward to a big shadow down the beach now! Municipality must have spent 5 minutes thinking about this one.

It should be an hotel.

does look ok.. glassy at least. will be good mix with JBR.
i also think this could be hotel.. but "seba real estate" u sure altin?

i thought one of the big ones would take these first line plots.

on the other hand i doubt a massive block will be built here, there is not enough space.

see the pillars for the bridge?

there will be one or two more towers next to it, not more.

it was to be expected (even though i hope for more iconic designs) and it does not affect the beach, the sun won't be block that much by those towers.

Is this a precedent for the other hotels on the beach to build to high floors? I really thought that there were limits on how high they could build on the beach .

Hi True Blue

I very much doubt they would build in front of Ocean Heights, luckily the Mina Seha is directly in front and it looks that could be there for a very very long time.As you look out to sea on the right of the Mina Seha there is a brand new low rise developement in progress at the minute.So I hope and pray nothing would be built in that area from the Le Reve to past me in Ocean heights.
You can never tell what will happen next in Dubai.

Have you any updates on the piling works in Ocean Heights or any latest pics

:cheers:

It's great to see some skyscrapers being built in front of the JBR. The Dubai Marina skyline will definitely look much better from the Palm and the water this way.

If you are hoping that this building will obscure JBR then you are in for a disappointment. From the palm it will appear on the end of JBR. If you are just referring to its location beachside then I strongly dissagree. The only high rise built in front of Beach Road line is the Burj Al Arab. This tower does not have the same importance of the Burj.

From the design, I am pretty certain this is a hotel despite the real estate link.

^^ hotel with such a basement?

Yes, looks more commercial than residential. Check the lack of balconies and almost fully glazed skin. There are also panels shown at the bottom and at mid height which could be for neon name signs.

Having just looked at it a lot closer this time, I have just realised that it is also V shaped on plan. Not good for people behind!

New SHERATON PLAZZA TOWERS Hotel & Apartments :nuts:

^^^well i thought it was going to be a hotel...have not seen any residential towers on the beach ...just wonder if they will allow the other hotels to go over 15 floors which appears to be the present limits

^^ I was just jockeing about the Hotel. I have absolutely no information, just pure (my) speculations. ;)

^^^:bash:

YUK it looks like a sharjah tower

I heard that the investors are persons who don't need to bother about height retrictions given their ststus if you get my drift. There is apparently meant to be a 9 floor height retriction on beach front in that area. I also heard it may be a Rotana or Kempinski Hotel.

Kempinski would go along with what was once proposed for the site.

if one of the important guys round here is behind this one then i would have expected a design like the royal falcon.

They'd better start the dewatering soon!

This will be a 5 Star Hotel according to the representative of the developer in Dubai... a hotel with a marina and sea vew...

^^ Well it looks like a Hotel anyway and that is what many of us suggested since the begining.

I saw the site today, still swimming pool.

this tower belong to fisher man that's why ...

@jarmenkell: how reliable is the "representative"?
the basement looks too weird for a hotel...
i can believe a mix use building is more appropraite...that basement....

serviced apartments on the higher floor maybe?

Please tell me its only 10 floors each! :banana:

Are we saying these guys started without approval or did someone step in and cancel it after it was started?

^^ Yes, 6 sections of 10 floors each. :D

True - Looks like a nice Project but Someone in their Board Meeting had a Brain Wave idea , 'lets build another Tower on the space we have left' -forget landscaping or looking overcrowded!
Al Bateen Hotel and Residence at Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach is poised to propel the concept of living environments to a new horizon. Its design is born from the site itself and the architecture can be considered an encounter with fluidity – a structure that reflects the flowing transition of forces from sand to sea.

The project will include a 50-story luxury apartment high-rise and a 30-story 5-Star hotel with an in-house business center, ballroom, restaurants, state-of-the-art health club, spa and beach club. The Residence tower and the Hotel are designed within two separate and dynamically related towers. The Hotel will be managed by Seba Hotels & Resorts.

Al Bateen Residential Tower will house 300 apartments comprising of 1-2-3-4 bedroom apartments including penthouses.

Simplicity, elegance and quality are the words that will brand this project. It will be home and host to the best that Dubai has to offer, and will bring together an international community where locals can experience a freshness that lets them become foreigners, and foreigners will feel a welcoming luxury that lets them become locals.

Another project from SEBA estimated to complete in 2010

Sheraton won't need all those trees for the shade anymore.

In the following renders they managed to show Jewels tower J and the new marina bridge, but at a greater distance than they will actually be.

Much better then the previous one but why the 2 renders (front and rear) do not much? On the one showing the rear side of the complex, the residental tower's top half is either compressed or cut off.

Something has to happen with sheraton as it is a bit tired now. I thought they might have an interest in Al Bateen as it has not be launched yet as far as I know.

Sheraton is nice inside and have this nice beach - but I agree that the building needs a womens hand. It will be exiting to learn what Al Bateen is all about. In general I like having these nice hotels close-by.

Not too bad, not too great either...

Will again be very squeezed in.

To close for finish Ground Work ...

wouldnt it be great if sheraton would move into the new bateen tower and they would tear the old sheraton down and enlarge the hotel garden...let s hope that they wont build a new sheraton blocking the view for shams and amwaj....:ohno:

No!!

Please keep up, my views were posted in September. I just don't approve of the high rises on the beach, including Oasis beach eyesore 90 floor disaster..:bash:

^^ He wasn't talking about your Marina views, rather the sea ones. :laugh:

^^ I sea what you mean.

Had a look down the hole last night when they were pouring the first section of the bridge deck. Not much happening here, but this is a private development and no individuals affected so bad luck to them.

spoke to seba - only hotel and residentials for rent

:banana::cucumber::banana2::hi::wave::drunk::carrot::hahaha::booze:

I did wonder why so little progress, not complaining at all as our view is very much due to vanish.:lol:

This development is a good example of over developing an area. They should stick to the original outline that limits beach towers to 8 or so floors.

In the current financial climate the authorities should also consider imposing an insurance bond on sensitive sites like this. If the developer goes bust half way through then we could be looking at an incomplete eyesore for many years. With a bond in place the master developer could step in and use the bond funds to complete the project and sell it on.

This is the way master developers will have to think until liquidity returns to the banks.

:banana::cucumber::banana2::hi::wave::drunk::carrot::hahaha::booze:

why is good for you any delays?? it will be built , every delays just pushing back the whole Dubai MArina completion date...

^^I live in hope that this one and Oasis beach tower are cancelled or restricted to 20 floors.

Had a look down the hole and plenty of men on this tidy site but no work yet on the main tower structures, only the basement.

A very slow progress !

good news,they are working again, I saw from the beach , all cranes were moving , at night as well.

Amazing! Hardly a soul visible, no core formwork visible and rusty bars sticking up. If it was not for the pumps and jeagers, I would say it looked like it was on hold.

^^^^

unfortunately (for my view) it most certainly is not on hold, 3 cranes on site and they are still hard at it now after 7 at night, they were pumping till midnight Sunday. Site appears chaotic and they seem to work on one tower at a time but it is still a goer. Trust us to have the only hotel builder with money out front...

Progress is so incredibly slow, you might think it s Windtower 3 !

Work started here January 2007. 3 years later and not much to show.

I can see this being a messy affair for the contract team with all the delays to the progress apparently caused by the client not having design approval and starting onsite.

With this speed workers will be there in the next 5-10 years:)

Please rename it,new board is there:

Jumeirah Towers

^^ We need a picture, has the design changed? Is it still a hotel or is this another hotel project they could not get a license for?

Jumeirah Towers

Dubai, UAE

Jumeirah Towers in Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach is poised to propel the concept of living environments to a new horizon. Its design is born from the site itself and the architecture can be considered an encounter with fluidity – a structure that reflects the flowing transition of forces from sand to sea.

The project will include a 50-story and a 25-story high-rise designed within two separate and dynamically related residential towers.:eek:

Jumeirah Towers will house approximately 400 apartments comprising of 1-2-3-4 bedroom apartments including penthouses. Retail shops and a Spa will be available on the premises.

Simplicity, elegance and quality are the words that will brand this project. It will be home and host to the best that Dubai has to offer, and will bring together an international community where locals can experience a freshness that lets them become foreigners, and foreigners will feel a welcoming luxury that lets them become locals.

I think people are begining to realise that New Dubai has enough hotels now. Most hotels along the Jumeirah strip (Sheraton - One and only) are struggling with occupancy rates. All this talk of 90% occupancy is bullshit. The usual Arab mentality, Downturn, It's not happening unless you speak of it.

Even the Harbour hotel oposite Infinity owned by Emirates was failing so bad they did a deal with Mariott to try and save face (at least Marriott knows a bit about running a hotel).

Anyone looking to open a new hotel in this part of Dubai over the next 2-5 years needs big pockets and bigger balls.

I think its 2 different category, Wind Towers wont be ever ready (not in the next 10 years) , that is just joke.

Any update on this?

I heard speculation today that Rera are looking at slow projects closely to determine if they have enough funds or sales income to allow them to complete. As far as I know this project was never launched and the developer may now be struggling to prove to Rera that they have enough secured funds to complete it.

There has been press releases stating that Rera are in the process of cancelling such projects to prevent them standing as uncompleted monuments to a failed real estate boom.

They are working day and night with flood lights that keep me awake at night. They are pumping concrete right now on a Friday morning so can't see any signs of them slowing down.

I've taken a picture of Jumeirah Towers for you here
www.flickr.com/hijack

thanks for the photo.

This is one of the best designed buildings in Dubai in one of the best locations you can have. I am glad it is going up :)

So it's still too early to celebrate the cancelation of this project.:cry:

If there is any outstanding progress . Of course, I'll be there for a couple of shots !

^^Doesn't affect my view but it does have an effect on the owners of the seaview apartments in Dorrabay, Jewels, JBR etc. I think they just want it finished because it has been noise, dust and disruption now for 3 feckin years. Come on Rera, Municipality or any other competent body, people live here now!

passed by it this Saturday. full work was in progress, lots of workers doing the slabs. Not on hold at all from what i saw on saturday!

Thanks for SALE234

Over 50 workers on site work !

Sheraton must be severely pissed off with this project now. 3 years of dust and noise and still only getting started:bash:

^^ That was nothing compared to the construction of JBR

Progress does look very good atlast.

I hope and pray that they finish this development soon. My worst fear is that they run out of money and it becomes another Al Areiffe tower carbunkle.

dozens of workers on site!

coming fast now..

The most busy site on other side of Dubai Marina ...

What will this be ? Hotel plus apartments ? Does anybody have an idea ? (Who needs more apartments in the Marina ?)

The title says 30 Floor hotel + 50 floor Residential so iam guessign this is what it means, its two towers one a hotel and one entirely residential, I dont think its combined into one

This rising fast , many workers there and already facade testing

V.Good progress !

Concrete frame is moving fast but other activities are slow. The brick and blockwork is barely moving which will hold up all the other trades.

I bet once this is up and running they'll demolish the Sheraton.

I bet once this is up and running they'll demolish the Sheraton.

Unless they are both owned by the same Abu Dhabi group, I don't see a correlation.

Funnily enough this is the only development on the beach side that is actually going ahead. So many other projects are just not happening including the promised beach clubs and parks.

I'm guessing that the delays at the beginning were all down to proving they had the money set aside to finish this project as starting and not being able to finish on the beach plots would be a disaster for Dubai in the eyes of the tourist public.

The project is flying now.

Edit, forgot about the Ritz Carlton extension which I believe is still progressing well.

YUK!!

Don't like that green glass next to the beach:ohno:

That works on inland structures, not seaside ones:bash:

I always thought that Dorrabay architect had tried to sypathise with the design of Sheraton hotel and help blend it all in, then we got the blue neons on Dorrabay and on the bridge. This is turning out to be a disaster introducing green glass between the 2 existing buildings. Architect is clearly a moron!

You forgot something , Dorrabay and .... :lol::lol::lol:

not to mention one of the best projects architecturally in the marina, The Jewels.

One of my favourite projects in Dubai

I hate it! Out of character with its surroundings. And obstructs the palm view from the panoramic elevator in Dorrabay :(

^^I think this is just the beginning of more and more towers in the front line. A petty really, this was not the original plan.

WoW I never thought it will be like this height + progress !!! Thanks desertweasel for updates .

I LOVE this developemnt and location. I wonder what the fit out is like and how they will be priced?????

They are serviced apartments so I expect maintenance charges will be very high. Good for short term holiday lets.
