BTW, i've only seen the 1st and last page of this topic, if i miss out anything and am asking a stupid question, please forgive

Propably (but don't quote me on that) the name comes from Penthouses and Condominium.

Nice conclusion.

Sentient Seas · May 8th, 2007, 10:16 AM

That was my first impression of the name. Anyways, this will be a great tower, another masterpiece for Dubai.

giovani kun · May 12th, 2007, 02:27 PM

when is this building due to start construction ??? ground-breakings have been made or we also need to digg ??

ZZ-II · May 12th, 2007, 06:13 PM

as far as i know they'll start by end of this year. and of course they've to dig a hole

FastFerrari · May 12th, 2007, 10:23 PM

do some of the buildings in Dubai seem to have cheap looking skirts or bases..

_zner_ · May 13th, 2007, 05:18 AM

living on the 120th floor is so cool!!

whonose · May 15th, 2007, 04:20 PM

Just discovered that there was no article on Pentominium on Wikipedia!

I made a rushed attempt at putting one together, but I am sure I got a few things wrong, or could add some more. Feel free to go and edit it, or throw corrections and additions my way!

This is by far one of the best U/C buildings in Dubai. Actually it's the best after Burj Dubai IMO.

Mr. Alloy · May 18th, 2007, 08:40 AM

Since when is the US Bank Tower in Dubai?

Smalltower · May 18th, 2007, 09:09 AM

They possibly look ahead to copy the US Bank Tower in Dubai.

@Penthouses and Condominium:

Trump International has the Condominium Hotel in Toronto, haven´t they?

Torch · May 18th, 2007, 03:26 PM

The skyline isn't only LA, in the right site of the picture you see a building from Tokyo too.

very impressive design

VikkyD · May 20th, 2007, 06:10 AM

I actually like the design, not bad for a supertall.... and WOW is this building ever big.... Imagine having you're bed next to the window, and waking up, and groggily looking over and being 120 floors up! I'd have a heart attack!
