i hope we don't have to move this thread to the highrise section, i read something with 284m as height

very pretty.
the location looks great, btw.

i hope we don't have to move this thread to the highrise section, i read something with 284m as height

With 80 floors, a roof featurew and a spire ... I don't think so.

This building looks quite similar to Q1, but it doesn't matter anymore...

^^Yes, it is the twin. And the height of 284 should go to the top out section.

With 80 floors, a roof featurew and a spire ... I don't think so.

the render on their website don't show a spire as i can see.

^^ But the models displayd do.

Nice one, reminds me of Burj Dubai Lake Hotel a little.

This is the first time I saw a render that just is pretty simple in Dubai. Excellent location though.

^^ But the models displayd do.

time will tell :)

Another awesome project for Dubai.

This building looks quite similar to Q1, but it doesn't matter anymore...

It's actually being created by the same developer as Q1 and it to be a sister tower. The website originally said 350m but now it says 284m.

Where in Dubai is this being built?

I like the model, it stand out good amongst the lower buildings. Wel see if it gets built aongst lower ones in reality. What a view that would be, a true eyecatcher.

the model with spire is actually Q1 on the Gold Coast, Australia, which is currently worlds tallest resi towe at 322m to spire (275m fin). the D1 i assure you is 350m to top of fin. there wont be any spire.
The reason why it looks like Q1 is because the developer visited Q1 last year and said he wanted same design, literally!!!

Q1
http://jimboland.hautetfort.com/album/architecture/q103.jpg

^^ Are you sure it's 350m? That's what it said some months ago but the official website now says 284m, which makes sense considering it has the same amount of floors as Q1
http://www.d1tower.com/residential-apartments-dubai/building.htm

oh, it was 350m .now 284m? sounds right. Q1 has 78floors to 250m roof.
if D1 is 284m,this thread has to be moved to highrise.

Done

Where in Dubai is this being built?

near the new Business Bay Bridge.

I really like this design. Classic, yet progressive. Though I'm not able to pinpoint the location - would anyone care to point it out on a map? :)

Looks great. I love the Q1 in Australia, so I don't mind this one so much.

Superb, another nice tall one for Dubai. :|
It's not so common that a design prototype is shown so frankly like here with the announced Q1/S1-sisterhood. Maybe the investors try to bring a little bit of Gold Coast livestyle to Dubai? :cool:

Although it doesn't look like a cheap rip-off, e.g. considering the sleek full-glass cladding of D1, whereas Q1 points out the floor plates.

The D1-webpage names Dubai Creek as the tower's location (http://www.d1tower.com/residential-apartments-dubai/location.htm). I remember that's the place of the first, smaller skyline with buildings like the National Bank of Dubai. But D1 doesn't appear to be placed amidst other towers, there's so much green around... is it far away? A solitaire? And what's the distance to the new skyline at Sheikh Zayed Road?

oh, towers near Business Bay bridge too?

After almost 9 months without an update here during times of a banking crisis,
I wouldn't have been very surprised to find D1 suddenly on some "On hold"-list.
But yesterday Imre came along with these pics on the Burj Dubai thread, labelling them "Burj Dubai, D1 and Versace Palazzo".
And I 100% trust him - so D1 is alive and rising :cheers2::

look like damac height,a supertall of dubai

nice pics, thanks for the update :)

Ah, another great looking monolith for Dubai... I'm beginning to lose track... :lol:

^^This is not a monolith.
Anyway,it's the kind of tower we would never see equal in any other city in the world :lol:

well its 284m to roof. one of the few WITHOUT a spire. all it needed was a tiny spire and would be a supertall.
even a 16m spire. it deserves a 50m spire. like sister Q1.

Q1 is 275m without spire. but 322m with.
http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/7382/olympiamodelym0.jpg
D1 is 10m higher but no spire.
http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/434/d1ae6.jpg

The design is definitely very similar to Q1, but since its concept as a "sister" tower its no wonder...i like it a lot, and its also good that it doesn't have a spire, almost every skyscraper, esp. in Dubai, nowadays has one, so it's positive to see one without.

Btw, regarding the location, how far is it exactly from Burj Dubai?

http://www.d1tower.com/
its at dubai creek, only a few kms away

D1 is rising quickly - fabric is up to lv44, and glazing to lv25, I think.

Stunning building, D1. If only it were taller it could have been one of the best in Dubai. It looks better than it's bigger brother, Q1. Will be interesting to see how Palazzo Versace turns out too, as we also have one of them here.

I agree if taller is always better! but even though, if this height it will be in the top 80 tallest buildings in the world
thats not very bad if u ask me!

Are you sure about that? Did you count building's under construction that could be done before this?

PS This building has the best cladding in Dubai! :yes:

Here are some photos from a few weeks ago on the 26th that I took, took me a while to figure out that this is the building in the photo.lol. Hope it helps!

Nice design, but nothing special...

It simply sad that you cannot see that a cultural background is a necessity for a desireable city. Have you ever been in Europe or Asia, or even only New York / San Francisco (for example)?

Paying foreign architects and foreign low-income workers with oil money to construct endless lines of hotels and shopping malls will only deliver you a soulless accumulation of buildings, but nothing that is worth mentioning in history books.

I love Dubai, but I think that needs more urban life, must offer more than just tall buildings...

Nope, we have someone who likes to speak the truth, and someone who is too blind to see that.

^^ No matter who's wrong or right: such general discussions might kill any specific construction thread - at least it gets annoying after a while. :speech:

Especially if critics don't belong only for the topic's project, but for a city, lifestile or skyscrapers as a whole, they should be posted in Citytalk and Urban Issues (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9) or in the Skybar (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=15), AFAIK.

Of course the Dubai Creek area around D1 looks mostly like a bleak desert right now, but big developments need time. I bet landscape designers will surely plant greening and help to improve the environment in the wake of the property. And maybe there'll be a vivid neighbourhood in a few years - let's see.

All the rest is insignificant crap spoken by either jelous or primadonnas looking for something to diss upon.



... oh the D1 tower, yes is tall now and not far from topping over. The cladding progresses nicely too.

D1 construction goes on one by one... not much cladding progress, but top floors are there, and looks like sloping roof has started. Should have a bit more than 250m now, I think.

Yes I'm a mod and I DO think before I speak, unlike the primadonna whiners I was referring to.

Now tell me smartypants, when moving to a place, what's wrong on looking how the quality of life is in the 21st Century, instead of glorifying how it was or wasn't in the 16th - 18th one? :nuts:

Whoa I didn't realize how isolated from the downtown clusters this building is until now

So, would this building be considered Q1's big brother or little brother? It is taller than Q1 in every way, except unfortunately the "official" way because Q1 has a pole on top and D1 does not.

Just says

"The tower is the sister of the world's tallest residential building, Q1 in Gold Coast, Australia. Although they will look similar, D1 will be structurally shorter, whilst having a taller roof height at 284m (932 ft). This is because Q1 has a roof height of 275 m (902 ft) with a spire increasing the total height to 323 m (1,060 ft)."

I think it would be fair to call them fraternal twins. I do, however, feel that D1 is getting the better cladding, basically the quality that I expected for Q1 based on its renders (only it would have been greener). They are both wonderful buildings.

The original plan was for a spire too and a total height of 330 meters or smth. I guess it was the height restrictions due to Airport vicinity that "deleted" it (we know the area is effected).
