Here is a thread for the proposed tower across the street from Infinity since we know that there's definitely a plot here ... and we now have a proposed design from Cityscape

^^ It doesn't neccessarily means it will end up there though. What if it is nmext to Al Bateen Tower on the other (arse) side of the Marina?

Krazy
October 16th, 2007, 09:20 PM
^^ it's possible, but somehow I find it hard to believe a 60+ storey tower would go here:

In render, you sort of see plam in background which means Next to Infinity is a possiblity either way it's an interesting design, i suppose we have no more info.

NAZUK what you upto i thought you'd know more about this. Maybe you too busy admiring the DAMAC stand

Maybe someone could ask where this is located?

I'll do that today. but my priorities are on teasing the Nakheel people :D

Well have a change of priorities plenty of things to tease Nakheel about i'd prefer you teased DAMAC

dubaiflo
October 17th, 2007, 07:57 PM
I've given up on those guys.. but i was saying at the nakheel stand, shortly before the lady gave me her Business card.. that Damac is worse than Nakheel :D

The only good thing about Damac is the.. MAC.

asked today, opposite to Infinity , 250 m high, hotel,offices, commercial , will post more pics later

malec
October 18th, 2007, 04:35 PM
This has to be taller, it looks pretty huge to me. If it was only 250m it'd be ridiculously thin.
So by opposite infinity you mean right in front of infinity?

Imre
October 18th, 2007, 04:48 PM
next to the new bridge , they will have nice view of the Dubai Promenade.

250m was in the Atkins brochure.

It does seam taller from the render, Whys it called Beachfront, there is no beach there it's the Yacht / Sailing Club.

Proposals come and proposals go we will see what happens

so??

looks like it is indeed next to Bateen Tower... and as usual the 'experts' don't know shit about their own projects

so..... somewhere right this very moment... True Blue is sobbing (about his beloved Jewels' and Dorrabay's lost sea views)


:tiasd:

Imre
October 18th, 2007, 10:35 PM
I think True Blue has a marina view apt.

maybe here:)

^^ I don't think True Blue has ever claimed having a sea view. ;)

What actually made me think about an arse marina location, was the particular shape of the tower, offering absolutely no views over the Marina canal as if they intentionally didn't wanted any on that direction. This shape and positioning would have been pointless and very bizarre, if the tower had to be located in front of Infinity ... and Damac Heights (as well).

thedubailife
October 18th, 2007, 10:41 PM
One of the people in the conversation is actually stupid or been drinking and it's not IMRE.

It's got to be the 2nd loaction next to al bateen.....why well 1st like i siad before why would you call it Beachfront hotel and put near Infinity there is not beach there.

Also as demonstrated by Altin's comments about it's shape and the brochure this just confirms it really

Krazy

Read my post again... not HIS sea view, rather his TOWERS' sea views that he did claim

True Blue
October 19th, 2007, 12:05 AM
My sea view is still intact! The sea view is from the bay window in the master bedroom and looks towards Palm JA, so this tower will not affect it. The sea view from the lift lobby will be affected but probably not for a good few years.

:) No sobbing then :okay:

Great views on DUBAL, terrible location for such a tower

AltinD

^^ They have absolutely no views over DUBAL. ;)

This is definitely more than 250m, you sure they didn't say 350m?

They also say 65 floors but including that top windowless section it has the height equivalent of about 80 floors.

what would the windowless section be used for anyway?

they showed their brochure , there was 250m.

Take it you dont own anything in THE ARSE END then!

AltinD
March 21st, 2008, 09:39 PM
^^ I don't own anything. This is a architecture forum you know, not a real estate one so chances are the older members are just enthusiasts.

^^That's true Altin!!! :okay:

^^That's subjective.

Chances are most of "the older members" are owners.

If this is an architectural forum, how does the phrase "THE ARSE END" fit into object description?

If we want to keep going down this road will we have a "TWAT END" also?

Al Bateen Towers use in it as a plot storage as well as new bridge ! so it gonna be on hold for so long ...

TMZ
March 1st, 2010, 06:03 AM
its been almost a year since the last post here, is the any updates from anyone regarding this plot, if this is really going to be a hotel than its probebly going to be on hold for the next 2 years until the market somewhat starts recovering, IMO 5 years full recovery in Dubai
