Nice!!!...BTW 23 Marina is 293 m or 393 m.....You wrote 293m, but in the diagram it says 393 m.

393m is correct.

nice update on world one. the updates on the indian buildings are rather rare these days.

Princess Tower topped out, and thus now the highest residential building in the world. It surpassed the Torch which was only the tallest residential tower for a short period.
Time for a new update Culwulla!

^^23 Marina holds the title between them for even shorter.

The tallest completed residential tower in the world (The "un"-Torch Tower, in the middle of the pic) in comparison to Princess.

You forgot the 432 meter park ave tower in NYC about to start construction.

How many people would be able to live in the Princess tower.
This is a question I never get an answer for.
If there is a 50 storey apartment tower somewhere on average how many
people would live in them and how many apartments would there be.
Sorry for the stupid question:)

^^763 apartments most of them 1,2, and 3 bed units. some larger units on the top also. not all units will be permanent homes. i.e. holiday homes or second homes and not occupied 12 months per year.

so we are talking between 1,000 and 2,000 residents realisticly.

^^ Considering the demographics of people renting in such buildings (i.e. professionals, mostly young), I would say even if all 763 apartments would be simultaneously occupied, the number of tower's occupants would hardly reach 2000 anyway.

Am I missing something with the world's tallest apartment tower order? Why isn't the Eureka Tower in there?? :dunno:

Thanks mate:)

432 Park Avenue in NYC will be all residential right?

Yep cool it's shown at the start but why isn't it in the later posts?

I'd say because at no point in time was it the tallest residential building? Q1 was completed a year earlier, and is taller...

^^ Yes, that's it

432 Park Avenue in NYC will be all residential right?

Yup, it will be barely smaller (10m) than the mumbai tower, with a similar facade too, only square.

If it is finished first it will be the tallest. :) (I do think the mumbai tower will finish first though)

It is called World one and not mumbai tower.....

Yeah because when you say MUMBAI TOWER it reminds me of INDIA TOWER which is a mega tall.

sorry my mistake, you know what I meant though

Guys, this thread is about World's tallest residential tower. The current one is 328 meters tall, so there's no point of talking about much shorter ones that wouldn't even have been a pretender a decade ago :)

Are Princess Tower and 23 Marina sold out? Or should we expect Vancouver-Syndrome where it's bought but no ones home?

diagram update
good to see the spires of 23marina and proncess tower compelted. job well done
also good to see world ones core out of the ground!
still no action on pentominium site> ;(
http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/7990/wtresi.jpg

i'm happy to see world one going up :) i was a bit worried after india tower got on hold that other projects may face a similar project.

Cul, the crane on Princess Tower is way lower then that, it should be close to the ground now, and you should also redesign the top feature of 23Marina, the proportions of the fins and spire are off :)

As for the Pentominium, a tight-lipped forumer involved with the project, is hinting that there would be news soon. Lets see how 'soon' soon is :cheers:

Many thanks for the new diagram :cheers2:

those are fabulous looking structures in my opinion but that whole cluster just looks fake, manufactured even, just not real

They're so 'seen one, seen 'em all' but I still basically enjoy it. I definitely want to see them in person but they lack a certain character that will keep Dubai from becoming a NYC calibur city.

^^
yeah there is no liveliness like it is in other metro cities but still those structures are fabulous

There's a new residential project coming up in Bangkok worth around $1.2billion. Its confirmed. Not sure about the height yet though.

Bt35-bn mega mixed-use project to take shape


Kwanchai Rungfapaisarn
The Nation March 28, 2012 1:00 am
http://www.nationmultimedia.com/new/2012/03/28/business/images/30178887-01_big.jpg
Tipaporn Chearavanont, left, and Chadatip Chutrakul, right
Siam Piwat, the operator of Siam Centre and Siam Discovery Centre, yesterday signed a joint-venture agreement with CP Group and Magnolia Quality Development for the development of a mega mixed-use project, which will require the country's highest-ever investment by the private sector.

Worth about Bt35 billion, the project - described as a world-class lifestyle shopping and residential destination - will be developed on a 40-rai (6.4-hectare) plot on Charoen Nakhon Road in Bangkok. Construction will commence early next year, with completion scheduled for 2015.
"We are preparing the master plan, which will be based on an in-depth survey of 5,000 respondents aged from 18 to 60 who live within a 20-kilometre radius of the project," said Siam Piwat chief executive officer Chadatip Chutrakul. "Consisting of Thais, expatriates and foreign tourists, the respondents will share their valuable ideas and requirements on what they would like to have in the project when it has been developed."
Siam Piwat will own 50 per cent of the project, with CP Group and Magnolia each having 25 per cent. The land will account for 12 per cent of the overall project cost, and the debt-to-equity ratio will be 1:1, she said.
Tipaporn Chearavanont, CEO of Magnolia Quality Development, said: "We want the new property development, which will include a residential project, to be among the first choices for foreigners who want to live in Bangkok.
They can spend their normal life as when they are abroad, such as working, trading stock and connecting to the outside world.
"The project will serve the Asean Economic Community, which comes into effect in 2015, and will create a big flow of people in and out Thailand."

Location 'very accessible'
Chadatip said the project location would be very accessible - only five minutes from the Silom and Sathorn business districts - and could be reached by boat from the Chao Phraya River, or by the BTS Skytrain. It will have a 400-metre frontage, and will be surrounded by many 5-star hotels.
"This plot of land is blessed with a breathtakingly beautiful view and great business potential," she said.
"It lies close to Bangkok's central business district with the broadest reach to potential customers, whether they be Thais living along the north and south banks of the river who will have easy access by boat, or Thais and foreigners working and living in the business districts of Silom, Sathorn, Sampeng and Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra, as well as residents in the Thon Buri and Ratchaphruek areas, and a large number of tourists staying at 5-star hotels all around the development.
"It is a really strategic location in western Bangkok," she said.
Tipaporn said: "We are pioneering this new era in the design of such developments in Thailand, leaving behind the phase of mixed-use developments and moving forward to what I call the era of 'magnificent location' developments.
"This land, firmly placed at the centre of the city's river life, has been lying full of untapped potential. It has witnessed the evolution of Bangkok and life along the Chao Phraya River for centuries. And it will now become a hugely sought-after prestige address that is priceless, and one that proudly carries that heritage," she added.
The Magnolia CEO said that because of its size and its location, the project would also help pump life into the city and re-energise Bangkok, as well as enable many more people to benefit from the waterfront.

Physical/emotional landmark
"We want to create a physical and an emotional landmark; not just another building or commercial venture, but something that can further enhance Bangkok's stature in the region and the world; something that will become a new attraction in the city for both local and international visitors. That's because we have seen that iconic landmarks on a city's main river can move that city forward - whether in Paris, London, Shanghai or Sydney," she said.
"This project can help Bangkok capture a historic opportunity - one that will make it a top regional hub for tourism and business, increasing the flow of people and businesses into Thailand and helping to propel our economy upwards."

It's great to see all of the buildings together. Definitely a wonderful example of how supertalls can be more than just a blot on the landscape.

Great work.

Oh sorry hahaha, I didn't know they dont put mixed use into the same category as residential.

Sadly, most of these Dubai towers are so ugly... Unfortunate, as their density is impressive.

That's True. But the good thing is that its designs must be unique to their culture.

Great looking but they like all of Dubai are mostly empty. It's all for show and status. Look at us! We have the best skyline in the world! Two words - OPEC cartel.

Nice to look at but after that wears off, you're left with nothing.

:doh:

Too much money lies there. It's so ironic that people there have so much money that they don't know what to do with it so they build and build and build whole cities while others have to work for decades or more to buy or build just one small house...
And all these building express exactly that thing in my opinion and that's why I don't like them apart from the design.

^^ Many of those towers were funded by European investors (a lot of British) and the completed ones are approx 80% occupied, mostly rented out as investments for the European people to pay off their mortgages on them.

You should add 432 Park Avenue Tower ^^

The mumbai tower isn't on hold is it?

Anyway it and 432 park ave. (whatever the final height may be) will be neck and neck.

The Mumbai tower that is on hold is the 720m India Tower, not the 442m World One.

is 432 park ave UC? have we offical stats?

^yea it's UC


So far it's 1398' or 426 meters and 89 floors

but that's subject to change

ive added it in

I think the pentimonium is dead and gone at this point, it was a cool looking building so kind of a shame.

is 432 park ave UC? have we offical stats?

432 Park Avenue is confirmed under construction! http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/mr-fish/Miscellaneous/Yay.gif

Culwulla, small correction. World One will be completed in 2015 since they are building a floor a week, according to the Indian forums.

So there is the a chance that 432 Ave will become the tallest before World One claims that throne.

The question on everyone's mind is: How soon can 432 Park Avenue be built?
The race is on! http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/mr-fish/Miscellaneous/BigSmile.gif

we have a new race!! exciting.

I think you've forgotten about Building on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment in Moscow http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=2233:)

I think you've forgotten about Building on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment in Moscow http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=2233:)

While that's certainly big, it's 577 feet (pretty tall indeed) will be surpassed.

While that's certainly big, it's 577 feet (pretty tall indeed) will be surpassed.
The Building on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment with its 176 m surpassed the Drake tower in 1952, so it was the highest residential building in the world(so it shoud be added to your diagram), but then, in the 1964 Marina City surpassed BKE.
