Has anyone been to the construction site lately? Any updated pictures?

Dubai Freak · February 4th, 2005, 09:05 AM

The Lighthouse people tell me when the new website is fully up & running, there will be a page with up to date construction news & photo's. Don't know when this is though!
Hopefully when the news & photo's arrive we can share this info on the forum.

Note: Earlier website links on the forum references 'lighthouse-dubaimarina.com', this link has now changed to lighthouse-dubaimarina.net, as posted by Dubai-Lover 17th Jan 2005.

I have heard that this project is possibly going to be delayed by 9 months and will be completed end of 2006.
Anybody got any info or latest pictures?

Developers and agents are tight lipped!!

Dubai-Lover · April 14th, 2005, 08:05 PM

when i look at the current construction status it doesn't surprise me
so, it's a financial problem of the developer?

Dubai Freak · April 16th, 2005, 09:42 AM

This update was provided by The Lighthouse Developers this morning:

The construction is in progress.

The foundation status: the piling work is completed.
Excavation of 1st and 2nd basement completed.

Dewatering system to reduce water level in progress.

Excavation of 3rd basement expected by 26 April 2005

Dubai-Lover · April 16th, 2005, 09:44 AM

Dubai Freak · April 16th, 2005, 10:00 AM

If anybody is in the area of The Lighthouse, new info &/or photo's on the construction would be much appreciated. . .

greenvigo · April 16th, 2005, 10:46 AM

Hi Tosh
Where did you get your information from regarding delay to construction?

Do you think the developers have financial problems in completing ?

ChrisO · April 16th, 2005, 02:26 PM

Anyone owning an apt in the Light House, please get in contact with me by PM if you havent done so yet.

Dubai Freak · April 22nd, 2005, 09:44 PM

In light of the uncertantiy of this project; as previously posted

If anybody is in the Marina area could you please take a glance across The Lighthouse site, to see if there is any sign of constuction activity.

Any info would be much appriciated

Dubai Freak · April 27th, 2005, 04:50 PM

We have now started the dewatering process to reduce the ground water level, excavation of the third basement is planned to start in one week's time.

Foundation work is planned to start on 15 May and the third basement concrete to start on 15 June.

There is about two months shift from our programme due to the long procedures to install the dewatering system and get the necessary
Authorities approval to discharge into the sea.

Dubai-Lover · April 27th, 2005, 05:38 PM

so, no sign of any delay?

Dubai Freak · April 27th, 2005, 10:53 PM

When the investors purchased & received their contracts between Feb & June 2004 The Lighthouse construction was planned to complete at the end of Aug 2005.

Delays shifted the original completion date to Nov 2005, then Dec 2005, then March 2006, then into April 2006 & now the developer is saying it will be completed in May 2006.

The developer has attributed the delays to waiting for authority approval of the 3rd basement, Elec & telephone underground cables discovered on the site & lastly dewatering equipment & access problems.

The developer has now informed the investors that the construction is back underway . . . . . .

The Lighthouse website 'construction page' has now been updated with the revised construction schedule, & some site pictures of the dewatering process.

Feedback of site activity/status would be really appreciated, If there is anybody in the vacinity of The Lighthouse construction site
