Stephan23 · October 7th, 2008, 12:09 PM

Tower Name: Park Gate
Floors: 30-40 floors (6 towers)
Height: ??? m
Developer: Meraas

Article:
............Meraas is also planning Park Gate, which is made up of three pairs of 30 to 40-storey buildings connected by a shallow archway at the top. Suspended from the middle of the tunnel-like structures are “hanging gardens”. The gardens will help shade the development, and together with other gardens and plants, cool the neighbourhood by as much as 10 degrees centigrade, according to the company. Initial construction has already begun on this project in the Satwa and Al Wasl neighbourhoods.............

Its about time someone split up the thread.
Should it be changed to U/C though? Since Smith said in his artical that the foundations have started.

Quote:

•Park Gate, which would consist of six midrise towers arranged in facing pairs, creating a shaded garden space comparable to Middle Eastern markets. The mixed-use project would allow energy from one building to be shared with another. Foundation work has begun, Smith said.
