i've read somewhere about 35 buildings are planned for difc
but not all of them high-rises
but there have to be about 5 towers or even more
i mean a ifc should have tall buildings and not only some low-rises

DIFC development

Hi All,

I am new to this and very interested in finding out further details on buildings coming up in the DIFC (Either residential or commercial).

Has anyone got details of what is being build and plan ?

Thanks in advance.

Odd on Sheikh Zayed Road, I stayed at the Dusit, my room faced towards the land, its almost nothing, odd having towers with bare land next to it. But The DIFC seems a good development.

DIFC Gate - rendering

I thought this rendering was quite crappy, considering the magnitude of the project... Anyways here is a medium resolution version.

nice
you can see how long the shadows of the towers are

i guess everybody can spot the hexagon
this strange star should be sky gardens then?

and then there is this cylindrical tower with the long shadow
and another three talls at the bottom of the masterplan, one of them should be one central park

Great masterplan Markmywords!

Does anyone know what's the current status of those small buildings which surrounds The Gate? is the facade coming up already?

they have grown a lot and now we can finally see how they will look like
not bad i think
a nice mix between supertalls, high-rises, mid-rises and low-rises!

thanks for all your efforts

seems very busy.
didn't expect it to be thaat near on ET . haha just noticed that the short form of Emirates Towers would be E.T, just like the alien in Spielberg movie.
how funny
but i did not expect the gate to be that close to the Emirates Towers,or is it wider as it looks like in the picture?
