Same developers as Horizon Tower.
Not much info right now but it has been mentioned in an article by the developer and also they have built something so has to be a real project

107 floors including the ground floor.

Nice design. This is what we all expect to see in the tallest block--unlike Marina Sky Towers, which has too much density. Location? I guess one of the two plots beside MAG 218.

Good addition!!! Hope it gets through!! :okay:

Same developer as EMIRATES CROWN as well. ;)

so this one will be also in the tallest block? when i remember right there were still 1 or 2 plots without a released tower

No end in sight for the boom. Gallant and simple, I like it. Everything but the spire, they should get rid of it, an eyesore.

so this one will be also in the tallest block? when i remember right there were still 1 or 2 plots without a released tower

It's not for certain but by the shape of the podium it looks like it is. Although they said they got special permission to build this one so maybe it's next to the tallest block, where the summit is.

Looks like all the towers announced in Dubai lately have more than 100 floors, soon they can rename Dubai to Coruscant :)

Wonderful! ^^

Much better than the Shit Marina Sky Towers! :banana:

What happened with your Dubai-Boomtown account? And adapt the signature as per the forum rules.

i am the same but *DUBAI* sound and looks better!:)

still change ur signature.

Average 100F tower .. however glass is always good.

Glass IS good! I wish Dubai was building more futuristic looking all glass towers like the ones in Hong Kong and other Chinese cities.

finally, G+106 fl coming between the MAG and Pentominium.
Board is already there, looks good,owner is Mohamed Sari or something like this.
It has to be this one

:banana:

Awesome , the next monster is going through !!!! :okay:

6B+G+106
Owner: Mohamed Abdulla Al Sari

excavation has started , Middle East Foundation already there

this small service road will be the access of 23 Marina, Pentominium, Marina 106 and MAG :)


parking is another story there...

another side also funny, Marina Crown, Ocean Heights, Elite Res, Marina 101 will have same access road.

I dont know who was the designer but he/she has no idea how do we create a master community.

http://i29.tinypic.com/9kuw69.jpg

Wow, fast. Change title to ground work please!!! Thx

Well, it's hard to say exactly what access for these towers will be like. I know with Mag 218 there is one access point along the small service road pictured above and another access point at the front of the tower. At present, however, the front access point can only be reached by circumventing half the block. My guess is that this front side access will open up to the main road, otherwise the Marina Arcade mall entrance would also be non approachable without first circumventing half the block. That would create a traffic flow nightmare--so I can't see these access points being constructed that way in the end.

Then again, the Al Sufouh tram will presumably be passing that way as well, so who knows?

Any idea abt price psf?

Middle East Foundation!

I like to move it move it :D:D:D

Only in the tallest block and Dubai would a 107-story tower go largely unnoticed. There seems to be very little attention given this tower. It is only going to be something like the 5th or 6th tallest building in the world. Does anyone know if it is still progressing?

^^ I think the reason little attention is given to this is because it's hard to access the site.

This morning

^^
Metro stations lookin great

http://www.sdt-international.com/assets/Marina%20106.jpg

King-size Render :D

the typical highrise residential floor height for units in dubai seems to be about 3.65m.
if this is the case. marina106 has 107 floors thus 390m to roof, then the see thru strutcure which equals another 20m= 410m to top. then another 25m for spire, thus 435m in total?

435 would be an awesome height !!! :omg:

MEFG has such a distinctive pattern of work that I have never been able to tell at what stage they are, based on what they're doing. They also have a history of working on projects that got abandoned either completely or temporarily: Al Attar in SZR, 2 other plots in SZR (opposite side) that were abandoned after the shoring was completed, Dubai Marina in front of TT & MH, Burj Al Alam etc.

I will suspect only the shoring of the site is done and maybe, maybe a few test piles. However with this contractor you never know.

Dubai Marina Tower is the new name?

Dubai Marina 106 floors

http://i31.tinypic.com/314p3pj.jpg

• Dubai Marina Tower is one of the tallest building in Dubai Marina with 103 floors.

• There is a special approval from H.H. The Ruler himself for constructing the building with such a height.

• Normal towers in the same location are below half of its height.

• GGICO has a 25% co-investor in the project, which smoothens our cash flow.

• Project cost Dhs. 928 million (Dhs. 523 million construction cost).

http://www.ggicouae.com/htm/divisions.htm

^^Possible. Or the Marina 106 is only the short name for Dubai Marina Tower with 106 floors. But the facts must be old: "Normal towers in the same location are below half of its height"? Or does they know Princess tower and Pentominium? :lol:

^^ Then again Princess Tower, Pentominium and Marina 101 are not what I would call "normal towers" in the marina.

I just love the new design. This is even better than the first one. Kinda like a more modern version of Marina 101. Malec, you seriously need to build this in sketchup. :)

I will give it a go. I should get some time on sunday to do it. Plus that design should be fairly quick to model.
It would be good if Imre could post a high res version of that render.

anything new from this one?

Not much new although the site has been cleaned up recently. An excavator was working over the ground the other week. Not sure what for.

Maybe someone can take some pics?

Not much going on. Looks like the site was tidied up.

http://i55.tinypic.com/x3c00k.jpg

This project would not be feasible for at least the next 5 years, maybe even 10 years, first the buildings that are under construction needs to be finished and handed over, by end of 2013 from my guesstimation I figure at least 6000-9000 units will be handed over in Dubai Marina which can only = another price drop of 10-15%



Just look at units in : The Torch, Marina 101, Pento, these three towers by them selves equall thousands of units.

P.S my guess is only based on my knowledge of sold out units in major project that are stated above, their could be well over 10K units handed over by end of 2013.

^^ whats the smaller structure they are building left to the pentominium bldg.?

electric transformer for the whole area. has actually been making good progress and cladding has come on over the last weeks.

I guess people should take out life insurance now, get ready for nose bleeds, headaches and possibly cancer in 20 years if your living around this area, and no iam not being sarcastic.

I wouldn't live beside a transformer even if they paid me!

By analyzing the cases of people living near power stations, researchers believe that humans can suffer from cancer and tumors when exposed to EMF radiation. EMF contain both electric and magnetic field at 90 deg of phase difference and oscillating at angle of 180 deg.The electric field traverses the air and starts oscillating human cells at high frequency, causing them to heat up. Thus high-power EMF can damage body cells. Similarly the varying magnetic field induces an electric current in human cells and tissues. Since skin is directly exposed to these radiations, it can be badly damaged.

I guess your one of those people that believe cell phones attract lightning bolts, then. Utter bullshit all the way.

You can google this topic and read research based facts regarding living beside a transformer,
