please tell me the name's not for real :doh:

It's OK, the renders don't do it justice I think, they make it look way too dull. The base is pretty boring though

It's 45 Storey, ,as I counted.

This can be the u/c tower that can bee seen on the latest BD pictures. That tower is on the edge of the Downtown, with BD in front and Business Bay at the back.

Just check the renders: BD in one side and something looking like BB in the other. ;)

i wasnt aware that emaar was selling plots to other developers in its downtown project.. this has to be the first one in downtown that's by a foreign developer

i agree, i am very surprised by this. but the design is quite nice..

They are not foreigner, they are from Abu Dhabi. They own 60% of Al Reem Island and also that chess super computer.

Like it.

This will be 40% Hotel and the rest residential apartments. In the article it was mentioned that EMAAR will develop 98% of The Downtown.

lol, yeah if that happen's for sure no one would even make a thread about it.

another beautiful tower for dubai

On a newspaper ad by Hydra Properties, this tower was presented as The Downtown Tower.

i hope they really change this gay design

Why, it's not bad!!

http://i10.************/4hcm1df.jpg

Please change the title to Downtown Tower. Website also updated, as you can see from the (edited) first post of the thread.

:rofl:

Thousands of people will come to see this :lol:

i'll take "downtown tower" over "climax tower" any day,... although they cud do with hiring some new people in dubai who can come up with more original names.

any idea of the number of floors?

At least it's in the real downtown and it's not in Jumeirah Village or someplace.

I dig the design.

lol
nice

should be 40 storeys tall

By Altin, we know it's on a corner plot now:

I asked the guys there for the location and they just showed me a rough one. This tower is located on the outer side of the Downtown, on the corner oposite South Ridge, behind Dubai Mall.

^^ indeed.

however the "corner plot" doesn't help us much since we can't see exactly where the roads are going to run.

anyway maybe u can get a glimpse altin.

Hydra Properties is offering an identical tower (maybe three of them) for one of Aby Dhabi's island projects. Who knows if they still intend to build the one in Downtown

Hydra speeds up tower project

An artist's impression of Hydra Downtown Tower.

on Thursday, July 17, 2008

Abu Dhabi-based Hydra Properties, one of the leading UAE-based private property developers, yesterday said it has fast tracked its Hydra Downtown Tower project by beginning excavation and piling work for the project.

The new tower, expected to be completed by 2010, is located at Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai.

The foundation work is being done by Middle East Foundation Company while Al Turath Engineering Consultancy is the engineering consultants for the project.

Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim, Chief Executive Officer, Hydra Properties said: "Hydra Downtown Tower is all set to redefine the glorious skyline of Dubai. It will stand apart among the constellation of structures that is rising in Downtown Dubai by its trend-setting design."

The tower, rising up to 45 floors with the final 15 stories forming an exotic five -star hotel, will provide stunning views of Downtown Dubai and the world's tallest tower, Burj Dubai.

Engineer Mahmoud Saad, Construction Manager, Hydra Properties, said: "The project has gained momentum with the beginning of excavation and piling work which will be completed in the next seven months.

"The focus is on finishing four basement floors as early as possible. The logistics for the rest of the tower is being chalked out and we are confident of meeting our rigorous standards of excellence."

Besides UAE, Hydra Properties has projects across Mexico and Kuwait.

Among others, also a plot of land in Downtown owned by HYDRA, was sized and auctioned off in Abu Dhabi last week, to compensate owners who didn't got their properties delivered.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is this same plot :runaway:

Are they still support Hollywood.tv
