I will have to talk my wife into a vacation in Dubai when that is finished in 2010.

I hope Marriott builds some new hotels there by then since I have about 800,000 Marriott Rewards points to use up.

Beautiful shapes. Hope they end up similar to the renders. So OTT.

They remind me a bit of Taipei 101.

They're not ugly...just weird looking.

CULWULLA · December 29th, 2006, 07:06 AM

great designs. ive worked out that the heights without spire structures = 320m.
ill add to world tall diagrams.

I agree, they look weird but this just seems to be a style that's unique to Dubai.

this is the building I have been waiting for to be built.....it will definitey be one of my favorite buildings.....i hope they get built...SOON!

***BigDreamer*** · December 29th, 2006, 09:52 AM

They got the height, style ... but for some reason, i just don't like em... they just seem too eccentric for some reason... not in a good way that is..

malec · December 29th, 2006, 10:27 AM

The renders seem to be done in typical dubai fashion which means:
1: Showing no other towers around
2: Not showing the reflections, etc properly so the render looks cartoony

I'm sure the facade will end up quite different as often happens. Also it needs an improved roof structure since the one now looks tagged on instead of part of the tower.
Those nighttime pics though are

Well i guess you won't this kind of design anywhere outside dubai... Unique... Could go on a dubai postcard

Emirates Park Hotel and all the other buildings, up to Nuaimi tower, should be pushed back by one plot at least. Where you have them now, should be these ones:

... with the towers being right behind them.

Mplsuptown · December 30th, 2006, 07:32 PM

Generally I think they look great but not a fan of those lanterns on top.

thank god that the roof is over 300m

I think if these towers were to be built in a different country, they would get a lot of media attention. Imho they are not only very tall, but beautiful as well, very interesting design.

Jose Luis · December 30th, 2006, 08:33 PM

unique design, i like it a lot
