DM issues licence to build tower in Dubai Marina

Dubai Municipality has recently issued the license to build a 31-story building in Dubai Marina at a cost of Dhs 97 million.

Engineer Khalid Mohammed Saleh, Head of the Building Licenses Section at the Building and Housing Department of the Municipality said, "The proposed building will comprise residential apartments and shops in addition to a large car park."

The building will have a basement, ground floor, and 31 upper stories. The total built-up area will be more than 274,000 square feet while the plot area is over 36,000 square feet.

Mr.Saleh added that the building would have a total of 165 apartments with 54 single bedroom apartments, 77 apartments with two bedrooms and 34 apartments with three bedrooms. Besides, there will be shops at a total area of 5272 square feet. The parking lot can accommodate 215 cars.

Once again, redundant design, nothing creative.

Prince_Ahmed · December 27th, 2004, 11:20 AM

i dont think every building should be creative and should stand out. theres something nice about having special buildings, foreground building, followed by background buildings which attend to the streetscape. it creates a nice elevation when theyre put next to each other.

read thia too yesterday and it seems like this one is not final

so i didn't add it to tower development section

agree with prince ahmed here!

***Krazy*** · December 27th, 2004, 04:16 PM

not asking it to 'stand out'....even a little bit creativity would do. Its obvious not every tower can stand out like the Park Place or something, but then again not every tower has to look the same, in this case like the Avant residence.

Dubai-Lover · December 27th, 2004, 04:19 PM

there was an ad in today's gulfnews, so i have added it to the portal

something's wrong with the forum, the forum tools don't work right now
so i can't rename this thread and move it to tower development

ahmedr · December 27th, 2004, 05:27 PM

Normally I would agree with Krazy cuz I used to think that Dubai Marina and JLT were almost like Dubai's last big chance to have a really cool dense skyline to compete with the current top skyscraper cities. But when Business Bay was launched I realized that all those breathtaking designs we've been waiting for were being saved for this real new commercial downtown. I think DM was never planned to be anything more than an upscale highrise residential suburb. Thats the reason why I really dont mind if the skyscraper designs arent top notch in New Dubai. I think the really good designs are saved for SZR (as SA Boy's pics from cityscape showed) and now Business Bay. I dont think the developers have any excuses to come up with less than awesome designs for the new downtown.

SA BOY · January 16th, 2005, 09:18 AM

I think this should be called unnamed tower as its not owned or devloped by the DM it was licenced as in building permit

ahmedr · January 16th, 2005, 12:16 PM

^Yeah, dunno why Dubai_lover named it municipality tower??

Dubai-Lover · January 16th, 2005, 12:29 PM

correct
i just named it like that so we know what building it is
there are unfortunately way too many unnamed buildings!

shall we change to "unnamed tower"?

SA BOY · January 16th, 2005, 12:34 PM

Ok I see why now. I have been calling the unnamed towers their plot number but we dont have 1 here . maybe call it Unnamed 1 or something and as the names become availabe then we change it??

SA BOY · January 16th, 2005, 12:55 PM

Can't we call this 2N Tower? At least that is what it says on the board.

dubaiflo · October 2nd, 2005, 12:41 AM

ah damn i wanted to say that too but then i went downstairs to eat sth and now you were faster. well anyway this is called 2N.

Dubai-Lover · October 2nd, 2005, 09:57 AM

2N is the plot in marina
phase 2, plot N

doesn't say too much

there are some candidated which are under c in dubai, but there is no render and no info on the tower at all on the boards

hate that

maybe they don't know what they're building

AlMillion · October 2nd, 2005, 10:23 AM

I found this on my phone, i think it is relevant ...

dubaiflyer · October 2nd, 2005, 10:24 AM

There was a render of this building on the wall of the site office when I went in there a couple of months ago. It looked OK, not great, but OK. Maybe a sly shot could be taken next time one of you guys is passing...unfortunately I did not have a camera with me at the time.

BTW can someone explain how to post photographs on the forum page?
