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

[Dubai-Lover]

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

added to emporis

[scoot68]

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

[True Blue]

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.

[dubaiflo]

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.

[kano]

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:

[R@ptor]

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.

[True Blue]

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.

[dubaiflo]

^^ hotel with such a basement?

[True Blue]

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!

[AltinD]

New SHERATON PLAZZA TOWERS Hotel & Apartments :nuts:

[kano]

^^^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

[AltinD]

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

[kano]

^^^:bash:

[SA BOY]

YUK it looks like a sharjah tower

[GreenKiwi]

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.

[dubaiflo]

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!

[jarmenkell]

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

[AltinD]

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

[Imre]

I saw the site today, still swimming pool.

[bizzybonita]

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

[rexdmx]

@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?

[AltinD]

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

[glover]

here it is.

[Dubai_Star]

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

[True Blue]

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.

[AltinD]

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.

[dubaiflo]

Not too bad, not too great either...

Will again be very squeezed in.

[bizzybonita]

To close for finish Ground Work ...

[BenjiDXB]

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:

[AltinD]

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

[True Blue]

^^ 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.

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

[desertweasel]

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

[True Blue]

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.

[Imre]

: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...

[True Blue]

^^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.
