View Full Version : DUBAI | Khalid Al Attar Tower | 294m | 965ft | 65 fl | Com
malec September 16th, 2007, 01:36 PM I don't personally think this deserves a thread here but officially it is 301m tall. It's a cheater though, and is not really a very significant tower either.
It's across the road from the other al attar tower but is not part of the same complex.

Jude12 September 16th, 2007, 01:40 PM nice building. is is almost finished/?
ZZ-II September 16th, 2007, 01:49 PM no ^^
Frankfurter_Bockwurst September 16th, 2007, 02:03 PM why its a cheater?
cause of the spire?
GOL2007 September 16th, 2007, 02:16 PM nice building. is is almost finished/?
??? Count the floors in the picture!!! There are 30 floors, the thread-title says 65 => So do you think its finished?! ;)
CULWULLA September 16th, 2007, 02:26 PM wow yet another 300m+ but doesnt bat an eyelid because there are just so many now. if this was in paris or london or Australia or sth africa ect it would be a super duper tall!!! and most watched structure ever but because its JUST another 300m tower for booming Dubai it becoming monotinous.
hey malec ,is this resi? where is it in relation to another 300m+?
SA BOY September 16th, 2007, 02:27 PM been on hold for a while cos it caught fire
malec September 16th, 2007, 02:36 PM It resumed construction though, they had to demolish and rebuild the top 2 or 3 floors.
hey malec ,is this resi? where is it in relation to another 300m+?
Don't know, I think it might be mixed
AltinD September 16th, 2007, 02:43 PM This is indeed a mixed use with part being hotel apartments operated by a Korean group.
Dan Hochhaus September 16th, 2007, 04:09 PM So this tower seems to be back on track after over a year on hold. :) And it will have a new design. Emporis still has it with 260m / 61floors: http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=khalidalattartower2-dubai-unitedarabemirates . I'd have preferred the old design, but can also get along with this typical "Dubai style".
This is a nice addition to the wall of towers along Sheikh Zayed Road. Cruising there will be an increasing thrill, when Khalid Al Attar Tower and Ahmed Abdul Rahim Al Attar Tower across the street will be finished.
:eek2:
Indeed this building uses a thin spire to exceed 300m, but it's not cheating more than some other towers IMO, for example the Burj Dubai Lake Hotel. So I support this new thread! :applause:
Btw. the neighbour to the right (Palisades) is also listed as Khalid Al Attar Tower (54 Sheikh Zayed Road) with 116m / 32 floors / built 1998. So this one, referred to as Khalid Al Attar Tower 2 (56 Sheikh Zayed Road), will be more than twice as high, even without counting the roof spire!
The only thing that sucks is the name IMO. In general, the naming after a person isn't that cool, and many are fed up with all those "Trump Towers", and there you only have to keep a one-syllable-name in mind. I hope the Al Attar brothers(?) will choose other final names for their skyscrapers...
malec September 16th, 2007, 04:14 PM The name will probably change once it's complete
Stephan23 September 17th, 2007, 07:07 PM Can anyone change the height at emporis please!!!
Sentient Seas September 17th, 2007, 10:05 PM Looks like a good project.
Sander- October 22nd, 2007, 12:12 AM I kinda like it :) Looks like it'll be some sort of giant roof terrance on the top. Hopefully one can ride up there for free and take a look and the views.
Someone speculated on a redesign - I searched and only found that:
There's already a Khalid Al Attar Tower at 116m
http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=khalidalattartower-dubai-unitedarabemirates
and even a Khalid Al Attar Tower2 U/C :D
http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=khalidalattartower2-dubai-unitedarabemirates
If the latter is the redesign as I think it is, this thread should be renamed and moved to highrises...
Edit: Never mind, found it in the UAE forum :)
potipoti October 22nd, 2007, 07:52 PM it seems a good project :)
El Quijotillo October 22nd, 2007, 11:25 PM Hey! Nice building! It's very similar to Amhel Abdul Rahim Al Attar Tower, but i liked this much. Very good! :banana:

AltinD November 2nd, 2007, 10:45 PM ^^ Don't worry, it will come.
BTW I've observed that in the last couple of weeks they are working very fast, building at least one complete floor per week.
El Quijotillo November 3rd, 2007, 01:40 AM ^^Wow! Fast! Great! Level 32 U/C. It's the middle part of the building isn't?

germantower December 15th, 2007, 06:45 PM when will they begin to clad....this looks until now so ungly...but with cladding i am sure it will be excellent....
AltinD December 16th, 2007, 12:16 PM They should have kept the excellent old design (260m), just add a few floors, increase the height of the roof feature and integrate a spire on top to reach the supertall status. :ohno:
ZZ-II December 16th, 2007, 12:22 PM agree altin, the old design was simply great. the new is nothing special to me
saeed December 26th, 2007, 10:22 AM Its all good!
But if this will introduce that purple glass color to SZR on a supertall, then I think its not bad at all. :)
_BPS_ December 26th, 2007, 10:32 AM I saw advertisements on TV of this project.

LeMoN-SK December 30th, 2007, 01:23 AM Why there is not a sign of cladding yet? At least some testing panels... It's pretty high now... But when completed, I agree it will be nothing more than a skyline filler... But one of the better looking. :)

We are biting our nails just waiting for ARC wheeler to start building the new 717ft 10 Inner Harbor tower!
PurePaki January 26th, 2008, 05:36 AM some times simplicity sucks

All we can see is the bare concrete form. Why not wait for the cladding and detail before writing it off?

I liked the old one way better. Oh well
Assemblage23 January 29th, 2008, 11:22 PM This is a very tall tower, yet it goes almost unnoticed. Maybe 300 meters is just not enough in Dubai...crazy thing, but great for all of us.
mbuildings January 30th, 2008, 01:18 AM stunning project!!!!!
Rafal.Druzkowski January 30th, 2008, 12:45 PM I think it is going to be a very pretty addition to the SZR, I just hope they will install all that fancy blue lighting they showed on the renderings :)

for a landmark-tower are 301m like at the Khalid Al Attar Tower Definitely not enough :lol:....in dubai you've to build 600m +

The spire should interact well with the other buildings at SZR.
Wisma March 7th, 2008, 05:21 PM That's a strange Liebherr crane. I've never seen this model before.

stewie1980 April 23rd, 2008, 01:27 PM Thanks for posting my pictures!
I will cut out the details of the cladding from my original photos. In a few minutes I have to go, so they will be ready tonight! (CET)
Densetsu April 23rd, 2008, 01:42 PM Do I see some dark cladding on the lower parts of the structure? Any detail photos?
the tower is supposed to be green. the dark color might be the undercoat.
AltinD April 23rd, 2008, 02:36 PM ^^ Yes the bitumen-based undercoat sealant, however that's a sign that cladding instalation time is comming.
LeMoN-SK April 23rd, 2008, 03:41 PM ^^Yes and that is a good sign. I hope that the other Al Attar Tower will start it's cladding soon too so they don't look like torsos...

AltinD April 24th, 2008, 02:01 PM ^^ Cul, there's no cladding; that's the water-proofing layer

Around 240m, I'd say... progress is not too striking, as far as one can tell from the road panorama pic.
But Al Yaquob Tower/Marriott across the street has clearly caught up a lot during the last months.
Densetsu September 12th, 2008, 07:56 AM Around 240m, I'd say... progress is not too striking, as far as one can tell from the road panorama pic.
It may not be growing so fast but the undercoat has progressed a lot since the last few weeks.

The height is now 294m

And it looks like the construction of the round roof, that is shown on the site board (http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/8840/imresolt084yk1.jpg).
So apparently Khalid Al Attar Tower's design hasn't changed.

skyperu34 April 6th, 2009, 05:45 PM Its looking like a giant ! Interesting design although a little bit heavy and full of "things" on its facade...
saeed April 20th, 2009, 03:19 PM Its the black color that make things more blur than bright, even with glass

...HHHR Tower's spire is first, but Khalid Al Attar Tower's might follow soon:

Marco Polo May 2nd, 2009, 02:10 AM I do not like the round thing - suddenly, the building looks like it were being built in North Korea.
No like.

Looks like there's not much happening on top of Khalid Al Attar Tower, while the (pre)cladding is progressing well now.

HILTI March 19th, 2010, 06:36 PM I mean, who designed this tower? The LEGO company? This has got to be the most unimaginative design for a tower this tall in the history of mankind.... Unless this is a poor spoof on Aldo Rossi (RIP)...
HILTI March 19th, 2010, 06:37 PM In the last pic, I can understand Norman Foster's comment that there are a lot of buildings here but very architecture!
preppy March 23rd, 2010, 03:13 PM Very nice. :)
Ni3lS March 24th, 2010, 04:45 AM It takes ages to construct that crown. They've been working on it since november..
Dan Hochhaus April 10th, 2010, 01:10 AM Finally Khalid Al Attar gets crowned! The steel top is easier to notice zoomed from a distance then down from the road...
It took me some time to get aware of Geralds gigapano, to make snapshots and edit them. The slant part surprises me, compared to the render.

saeed April 20th, 2010, 03:34 PM They can add a couple of meters on the spire, to make it a supertall!
Sometimes things we make don't make all sense!!
saeed April 20th, 2010, 03:40 PM BTW, this is now the 63rd tallest in the world!
Anything now higher than 300m is in the top 50!

Chad May 3rd, 2010, 11:51 AM Wow..That is just so unexpected.
Dan Hochhaus May 4th, 2010, 07:49 PM Yes, I hope the scaffolding won't last too long. Most likely this spire will be clad.
When we take a look at the render on the board (http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/8840/imresolt084yk1.jpg) from posting #1, we can see that the erected spire matches with the lower part, but there's a thin upper part as well, which is still missing. So I suggest that Khalid Al Attar Tower is NOT topped out yet, but up to 275-280m only!

Chad July 16th, 2010, 01:31 PM Oops.
Dan Hochhaus July 16th, 2010, 02:00 PM So here's the top... very shiny rondel with that aluminium, but still not a magnum opus overall. I like the spire though, even without that thin upper part from the renders.
Btw. does that mean a change of height, or are the given 294m for sure?
Ahmad Rashid Ahmad July 16th, 2010, 06:40 PM Nice pics Imre....:okay:
motozine July 17th, 2010, 09:13 AM nothing special, i don't like it.the good things is only the heights.

italiano_pellicano July 19th, 2010, 07:20 AM nice pictures
Erektion July 19th, 2010, 01:43 PM Personally I'm not a fan of this at all. Very sloppy design in merging the crown with the main part of the building. I don't normally mention negatives in case it offends but in this case I had to.
Ni3lS July 19th, 2010, 04:29 PM I kinda like the top :dunno:
