er, its not that great.

to blocky and dull for my liking. looks quite a bit like 1 central park.

having said that, its better than most of the marina.

major projects map has been updated, well I don't know how old is this but at least there's now waterfront on the map.
http://www.gis.gov.ae/en/downloads/p...20Projects.pdf
hmmh, looking at the map I think that one area likely to have many tall buildings will be in dubailand opposite to the city of arabia, called "The City".
