xXFallenXx · September 17th, 2007, 07:37 PM

very pretty.
the location looks great, btw.

mikeleg · September 17th, 2007, 07:40 PM

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.

Stephan23 · September 17th, 2007, 07:44 PM

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

***AltinD*** · September 17th, 2007, 07:51 PM

But the models displayd do.

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

Gaeus · September 17th, 2007, 08:09 PM

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

Sentient Seas · September 17th, 2007, 09:58 PM

Another awesome project for Dubai.

Insane alex · September 17th, 2007, 11:37 PM

Where in Dubai is this being built?

Alle · September 18th, 2007, 12:02 AM

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.

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?

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. 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?

smussuw · October 19th, 2007, 01:02 AM

oh, towers near Business Bay bridge too?

CULWULLA · September 18th, 2007, 12:03 AM

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

malec · September 18th, 2007, 12:05 AM

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
