It is finally getting built :)

nice finnaly m)) more twins

The model looks different from the render which version will be built? I rather the render and not the model.

Gorgeous buildings, gonna be an awesome addition to the skyline. Even better though is that curvy, glowing, yellow one in the first pic :p

very stunning design!! I like the top part of it.

MOSCOW TOWER FINALLY GETTING BUILT IN DUBAI.

Look at the model, there's a swiming pool between them, God I'd love to take a swim there, imagine looking up and seeing these towers looming upwards between you

MOSCOW TOWER FINALLY GETTING BUILT IN DUBAI.

Yup! Theres two!

Awesome towers

Damn those towers are sexy as hell!!!

Where is this Tower located ??? Is it in Buisness Bay ?

I have reservations about how the top looks like, but otherwise it looks good! Maybe the models are not very good in conveying the real appearance of the structure..?

Where is this Tower located ??? Is it in Buisness Bay ?

No, in Sheikh Zayed Road, however it must be said that these are the ONLY highrises on that part of the road. All the other buildings are midrises and we are surprised how they got permission for them there.

To clarify the location of these towers:

http://i11.tinypic.com/4z1i44j.jpg

Check the blue box.

The area used to be a Petrol and Service Station, which was demolished to make room for the towers.

nice....another good looking complex for Dubai....got problems with the crown but if the color stays then who am i to complain...:lol:

impressive :yes:

Great project! ;)

The piling contractor is starting work on the site.

so i think that is the sign that is it now UC, or not?

They seem like the Petronas Twin Towers

Absolutely beautiful. They should have built this in the main cluster.

^^ Agree, they will look so lonely on that side of the road.

maybe there are still some other towers planned

When is groundbreaking?

i guess that was already.

These towers are amazing! They look futuristic! I like them a lot!

awesome tower.

Nice twins, glad to Dubai still soaring higher.

this twin tower is looking great,better than the petronas imo.

wow! great twin towers finally in dubai.

The model looks different than the render...which one is the correct version? The render has a tapering top and a longer spire. Personally I think the model is great...but don't like the render as much.

looks indeed very good now :)

would be better if they were both 360m

^^ What it would have been even better is if they were paralel to the main road and not one behind the other.

A very unique and not so good concept indeed.

sexy...very malaysian

Incredible design, Dubai really knows it's architecture.

^^ Check the old design for the tower of russia and you might think differently ;)

I mistook them for more lamps, like the one behind. On the contrary, that lamp could pass for a building in Dubai.

I really like these! And two of them is just a bonus!

very nice and elegant design that incorporates some of the original Russia Tower design with a hint of Petronas.

These are under construction, piling rigs, cranes are all working on site.

Wow! They are really going to be something special!

Wow! They are really going to be something special!

yep.

damn, dubai produces renders, then its U/C in no time.
crazy.
reminiscent of petronas on my first glance, but really sharp design.

^^ Check the old design for the tower of russia and you might think differently ;)

Yeah that's a good looking tower, but still, I am more fond of Duba's architecture than Russia's, perhaps it's just a matter of opinion, but I've never really seen anything overly incredible coming from Russia.

Second best looking towers in Dubai after, of course, the superior Burj Dubai.


Please dont wreck the dubai skyline with Al Burj!

^^ Al Burj won't have an effect on Dubai's skyline since it's something like 60 Km away. The skyline that it will be apart of doesn't currently exist.

I love this project!

any other plans for this side of the szr?Will the burj views be opposite?

another unbelievable building for Dubai!

Will the burj views be opposite?

What does it means exactly?

the location is totally disgusting.

Yeah it's a weird location.

http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/5654/lamtara1yk9.th.jpg (http://img237.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lamtara1yk9.jpg)

^^ Don't worry, once one tower comes, the rest will follow soon. Before you know it that whole stretch of SZR will be filled up with towers ;)

I took that picture and as someone said, I think it was indeed a lamp.

the location is totally disgusting.
:yes:

:ohno: :ohno:

^^ NIMBY :lol:

Don't worry they (towers) will not come near your home ;)

are there not towers across the other side of the road though?part of the burj dubai development no?

^^ On the other side of the road there are 3 completed towers and some others are under construction and eventually it will be filled up, but they are NOT part of the Burj Dubai Downtown or Business Bay, both of them are "confined" behind that row (more of a zig-zag actualkly) of SZR towers.

ok that clears up the location then...thanks

this is U/C now!

The towers are nice and the location is excellent too.

Wow. Not the best kind of design, but as a twin-towers they look much better. The height is pretty insane too.

YUCK. I don't like these two. Very cheap and cheesy. They look like a pair of those "personal vibrators" the ladies like so much.

I'm not against the construction in Dubai, and I think the Almas tower is stunningly beautiful ... but these two - TACKY.

I like these towers a lot. I remember seeing the design under another name some time ago. I agree that these would deserve a more symbolic location; however, I guess this part of SZR will get more filled up with high buildings as real estate prices there rise due to projects on the other side of the road nearing completion.

Great twins IMO. Not small either:) Great to see that piling is in progress:cheers:

i love the towers. but i agree. shitty location. It wont follow as that side is choc-a-bloc with 3 and 4 storey buildings, and one like tall one.

can anyone say random?

think the location is good. i've the feeling more highrises will be built there in the future

glad it's u/c!!:) :cheers:

Change the status to u/c!!

Would be nice to see how construction was advancing on these... :) anyone passing there on their way to work perhaps?

Lam Tara Twin Towers

:lol: :lol: :lol:

:nuts: hahahaha.

Are both towers under construction?

yes :)

Actually they are still doing the site perimeter wall but what is more interesting is that with every news release these towers grow bigger and bigger. First they said 400m+, then they said 101 floors, then a few days ago they were quoted to be more then 500 meters tall.

It's crazy but if true it might explain why the lazy job by the piling contractor. :nuts:

crazy, i thought pilling is under full progress ^^. and now they'll maybe rise to 500m + :nuts:

Previously posted in the UAE section:

Lam Tara Tower Development – Sheikh Zayed Road – Dubai
Owner: Bin Manana Investment Group
Budget: $700 million
Scope of work: The project involves the construction of two 100-storey towers which will form the centrepiece of Sheikh Zayed Road development. The towers will be at least 500-m tall, although the official height is still unavailable, They will provide offices, residential apartments and four level basements facilities.
Update: Sources indicate that the Bin Manana Investment Group has invited companies to bid by the end of February 2008 for the main construction package.

http://www.gulfconstructionworldwide.com/Articles.asp?Article=9444

500+ twins?! :eek:

^^ If really 100 floors with a huge roof feature and a long spire on top, they can very well be.

If thats true these are going to make far far more of an impact that we first expected...

Thank you very much for the pictures. Can you please post some more in like 10 days or something to compare if lots is going on? I want these towers to rise to 600+m and sooner rather than later ;)

Thanks :)

sorry but i don't live in dubai, so i can't take pics from this plot :). you better ask one of the Dubai forumers ( Imre, Altin, OTR....)....though i don't think much will happen in 10 days :)

^I live in Dubai too, but never visit that plot, but yeah I will thanks :)

Nice, a new Dubai-ianer in the forum!!! Welcome my friend!!!

Yes that render is the original Russia Tower proposal. But it was refused so Lam Tara Twins will use similar design, I don't see a problem in that...

Yeah only cause its been proposed and the design rejected it doesnt mean other buildings cant use the same design. Too bad for them for not accepting the design. + you will be surprised how many buildings look alike.

While nothing ilegal, it does show that the Architects are cheap bastards.

While nothing ilegal, it does show that the Architects are cheap bastards.

^^If you make a great recipe and won't cook the meal it is against some moral values if I cook it instead? I don't think so. If someone makes a great design and it is refused, why it should be left on the paper forever? That would be a shame... Great buildings deserve to be build, if not by the original architects, then by some other...

I don't see this as some ,,stealing", don't blame the architects of ,,zero imagination" or whatever... They just took a good recipe someone else wrote, spice it a little (twins) and then cook it in Dubai... Good for me...

^and a good post I agree 100% ;)

Good post, i really like that analogy, i think i will reuse it, you know, like a recipe :)

^^ I myself have used the line about "find a use to something that someone else rejected, and I have no problem with the design being used at all, however that doesn't make ethically correct for the "architects" to pass it as theirs.

Something like stealing someone's else's pictures (think those of Imre) and taking credit for them. ;)

Any news about these towers ? :)

I wonder if the height increase has been confirmed or not.

Its the stock market crisis effect!
maybe someone lost the funding of their building or something!
:lol:
Im joking, nobody lost that much money in Dubai............yet!

Maybe if we ask REALLLY nicely, Imre will check out the plot when he returns :)

Ground work is still ongoing. The hole is deeeep.

I'm not saying it will look great, but it will definitely look way better than that crappy cheap model.

made a small mistake with the quote. i like the towers, and i'm sure they'll look much better in reality.

Does this picture (by 234Sale) provide any valuable information?

We can see the Emirates Park Towers, but the Lam Tara Towers are not there.
Why would only certain buildings be included and not others?

Happens all the time. Maybe the buildings are being built are by a rival developer, or maybe they aren't given the rights to render a likeness of the design.

For instance, the models of Business Bay NEVER include Burj Al Alam.

Good to see it's underway. These towers are some of my favorite of Dubai's by design.

^^ Very very very good news. Now i am more excited to know which height this twins will have! Imre, 234 or any other who lives in Dubai, have you got good sources that could tell you something about this projects height?

yeah, great news :banana:

Also

According to this website:

http://www.dimensions-ec.com/Projects/manana.html

the towers are 77 floors (office) and 88 floors (residental). Structural height is 384 metres and 70m spire = 454 metres.

^^ :omg: :banana::banana: the tallest twin towers :nuts:

this will be a fantastic twin combination

the tallest twin towers :nuts:

Emirates Park Towers are the tallest twin towers, peaking at 395 meters.

you should also mention at what region are you referring because one could state that you stripped Kuala Lumpur off the world map.

Someone with some rendering skills should create a more skyscraper-like image of the lamp tower.

:lol: My god this is what Dubai has done to people, any ideas of a skyscraper can rapidly become reality for some "Lamp tower", I wouldn't be surprised if they get one of these in the future

When I first posted that pic almost three years ago, someone also asked if the lamp in the backgroung was a skyscraper model. :lol:

It should be! I love the design.

why not? would be a nice design IMO :D

Sorry for the late response, i don't log in frequently.

@giovani kun, i was refering to Dubai since this is thread about a skyscraper in Dubai (you're right though, i forgot Petronas Towers :) )

@Altin, by the time i wrote that post, the official height was around 360 meters (as far as i know)

:|

uggly!

^^ You are like the first one who says this, but everyone has an own opinion and taste about things, so i respect your opinion! Can you just tell us what exactely you find ugly on those buildings? Thx in advance!

^ If he's ever coming back to this thread :shifty: I've read a lot of his posts and he's a sort of thread hopper you know: Nice design, Like it, don't like it..

I used to be like that back in 2007, I know better now.

^^ :lol:
me too!
come on, when you see CULWALLA or AltinD or ZZ-II with those multiplying thousands of posts you try desperetly to catch up!!!
look at me for example, I cant reach 1000 post and I come here almost everyday since more than 2 years! :ohno:

uggly!

If you want to catch up do what Imre does. There's a reason why he has 22k posts. I used to be something like him back in 2005 - 2006.

^^you Mean posting photos?
I am welling really but I am a little embarrased to ask how you can upload photos cause I tried and didnt work....I can be a big help in updating all the projects in Dubai and Abu Dhabi if I know how!:clown:

^^

1. Go to websites like www.tinypic.com or www.imageshack.us, i prefer tinypic.

2.browse your picture you want to upload and press the upload button.

3. wait a moment until the picture is beeing uploaded.

4.copy the image code for websites and forums.

5. paste it in the postfield and post the post.

than you are done.

Thanks in advance for the picture we will see from you!

but lam tara towers taller than petronas towers ....

^^ But petronas are real and fixed, LAma will not be untill years to come and the height might change any minute even during U/C!
I wouldnt worry about which taller than which, lets leave it unknown :)

Thanks germantower I will try to upload today.

^^ Cool, another uploader. Real weird that you didn't knew how to upload, just don't be afraid to ask! Im looking forward to your updates :)

new name

Ben Manama Twin Towers

http://www.dimensions-ec.com/Projects/manana.html

I don't know what either name means.

Imre means Bin Manama Twin Towers, and Bin Manama is the contracter for the buildings. But I think it will just be named Lam Tara Twin Towers, on this site it still says Lam Tara everywhere: http://www.lamtara.ae/

I don't think he would have made his post if the towers hadn't been renamed. When it comes to Dubai, he's the most reliable user on this forum.

last update in that site is in November 2006:)

My God These Two Towers will rock Dubai once completed. Best towers I have ever seen.:banana:

BIN MANAMA INVESTMENT GROUP is the developer of the towers.

The towers have been called LAM TARA for almost 3 years since the concept was first presented, however lately it seams the name was changed to BIN MANAMA Towers.

Can we have some new pics please?

may 22nd by imre, they're pilling..so it doesn't look much different now:

Bin Manama Twin Towers ( Lam Tara )

the site is busy, piling in full progress

^^ This is a good news. :banana:

Ty Imre for the update.

great .. this is one important project ..thanks for the pictures Imre :)

Imagine a twin towers in Dubai that taller than Petronas !!!! :)
That will be an astonishing land mark for the city no doubt!! :)

Another fine pair of skyscrapers going up in Dubai. It's hard to get a sense of the scale of these buildings from behind the computer screen!

nice to see the project still in good progress....

Where exactly in Dubai are these towers located?

^^ Location.

http://g.imagehost.org/t/0062/Untitled_10.jpg (http://g.imagehost.org/view/0062/Untitled_10)

Thanks!! Good location, with Burj al Alam "stalled", the height of these twins will give a sense of scale to Burj Dubai.

So it's on the Sheikh al Zayed Road, right?

And Adam where did you find that picture you have as avatar, I want it as my wallpaper! :lol:

So are they on hold again :ohno:?

It's a shame if it is on hold as it is quite impressive, has a certain Petronas air to it. But I guess this is the inevitability with large projects at this current time when you consider the economic situation.

on hold? :ohno:

:badnews::badnews:

ouhhh nooooooo my favourite supertall :(

Nice ... rope.

Great rope - one of my favourites.

If you want a good skyscraper you gotta start with a good rope, everybody knows that!

Eh... sooner or later... really like the designs of these! Now we play the waiting game.

If you want a good skyscraper you gotta start with a good rope, everybody knows that!
Right... but this tool can be terribly misused, too. By a frustrated investor as one-way exit.:skull: Or even worse, akin to the Nakheel Tower teddy chain incident (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=41951878&postcount=1455) ;).

You're right, the top part of the rope looks an awful lot like a teddy noose! :(

No responses from the owner Saeed Manana Ghadir (foreigner) sound like he will be under investigation soon :lol:

the walls & board of project in SZR Air ! Municipal Came with action ....


Gentlemen : Dimensions Consulting Engineers

Dear Sir/Madam ,

Subject / project on the ground, 983-343 Al-wasel area

Owner: Saeed Manana Ghadir (foreigner)

Contractor: Dutch company of the raft

With reference to the above subject to your letter reference DXB/093203/23094 Etc

On 2009/09/17, to the effect that the life span of the system support aspects of drilling expires on 2009/09/17 that subjects it to collapse and causing heavy damage to life and property and services nearby. Since it has not yet been appointed main contractor for the project and obtain the necessary permits from the municipality to date, which would lead to a cessation of work at the site for a long time ..

For being so knowing that the municipality had contacted the owner and the contractor to begin bridging the site immediately and the completion of the business prior to the date 2009/10/07

Yours sincerely ,

Director of Buildings Department

Municipal

Damn, does this mean that they are done, or just on-hold for awhile?

^^ It can go both ways, but what's for sure is that Municipality wants the hole to be filled up and levelled.

Nothing happening , oil tanks and generators have been removed so the site is totally empty now.
