Do you think they 'gave up' ,,,,, or did SG just have them all shot? Investor activity on these forums is now a fraction of what it was a year ago.
The only regular contributors left are 'SG', 'Imre',, people who signed addendums and others who seem to be overly concerned about the views from their balcony's.

So many of those unhappy people who 'posted' with such conviction ARE gone. How come?

They have reached an amicable resolution and signed gagging clause. Remember 'Mistermark'. He DID tell us a long time ago

@FWIW: It would have worked much better in B&W. Added noise and normal colours do not mix well

The mechanical floors on the East Tower look like they are on different levels from the other 2 towers.

I'm not sure how they will deal with the podium either. To the west there are villas but not sure they can have villas in front of the East tower as access might be an issue. You would expect that if it is a hotel then the podium would be the place to have the function suite/conference rooms/ restaurants etc. So symetry might have to be sacraficed here also.

The facade detail over the villas just looks strange being cut off so abruptly on the right. I assume they will tie into this with the East tower construction.

Imre - you are one in a billion! For nearly 5 years you and your pictures have kept me going on this build! Not long now - I hope!

Here's a few remixed!

I don't doubt it is possible, it also means that cladding will have less damage. I am just a little suspicious that they are still finalising the design as the build is not progressing as fast as it could. The podium is well behind and some of the blockwork seems hit and miss. In all of the visits to Dubai last year they were not working during the night and floor progress has been less than a floor a week.

I guess this entire Hotel thing is still a moving target and probably the desicion was taken to get the structure up to minimise interference with the other 2 residential towers.
