Valcom · March 14th, 2007, 10:20 PM

individual residential will take an entire floor! i just don't imagine the price of an appartement!!!

ChivDevil · March 14th, 2007, 10:55 PM

Is that the Los Angeles skyline in the second rendering or am I just crazy?

ZZ-II · March 14th, 2007, 10:58 PM

lol, you're right. in the 2nd render the tower behing the Pentonium looks like the US Bank Tower

DarkLite · March 15th, 2007, 02:43 AM

wow, blue must be a dubai favorite in condos since thats the only color they use in the construction??? havent they heard of blenidng any other architectural elemts as well besides glass buildings???

malec · March 15th, 2007, 02:50 AM

Blue glass works best IMO. Another one of their favourites is sand colour.

Dino Domingo · March 15th, 2007, 02:53 AM

OMG!!

Skyman · March 15th, 2007, 02:56 AM

Amazing stucture, would be nice to biuld such towers somewhere else, not only in Dubai

CULWULLA · March 15th, 2007, 03:09 AM

amazing. 500m+ tower for Dubai. that block would look like "Bladerunnerish" in years to come.
cheers

Jai · March 15th, 2007, 05:20 AM

great height but what a terribly boring design.

Well, on reflection, perhaps Dubai needs something like this to offset some of the eye-burningly ugly tacky-talls also proposed

Hightek · March 15th, 2007, 05:50 AM

particulary, I dont like sooo tall residencials....

Daireon · March 15th, 2007, 07:01 AM

What a great tower!! And for those who said it's design is boring and all that crap, i bet that if this building had been proposed for Chicago for example, it would have fitted perfectly, but noooooo, it's in dubai. Why everybody has to citicize everything this city builds? I mean...they are free to do whatever they want, they don't want to show anything, they just have the freedom to have no limits, and i think that's great.

BTW, amazing views the people who'll live there will have....i just saw the palm on the background!!

cyborg81 · March 15th, 2007, 07:21 AM

i like this tower overall but the name sounds like some radioactive element missing from the periodic table

skyperu34 · March 15th, 2007, 07:26 AM

Very nice design !!! Is it going to be the second tallest in Dubai????

so true

Brendan · March 15th, 2007, 08:05 AM

I really don't like the look of it TBH.

And Q1 Tower (World's tallest residential tower) looks much better than this IMO. They could have at least used setbacks on this one.

SA BOY · March 15th, 2007, 08:40 AM

imagine sitting on the 60th floor of your million dollar appartment and not being able to see anything except your neighbours yellow underpants hanging out to dry. The close proximity of these towers , whilst impressive from a clustering point of vierw will be a nightmare as far as traffic, natural light corridors and updraft of wind issues.
Thank goodness I can watch these go up everyday from my terrace as apposed to living in them

SNT1 · March 15th, 2007, 08:50 AM

I like one of the facades, but not that weird steps thing/whatever that is. Should take design cues from sleek glass scrapers from China and USA, and it should look great...

anyways. 516m

waaaaaaa

I wonder if all these condo-towers are going to make enough money though. They building more condo-towers than tourism will ever need, then again I feel that these guys build towers 'just for the hell of it.'

skyscraperboy · March 15th, 2007, 08:58 AM

Really nice!!! I need to buy one!!!

DG · March 15th, 2007, 09:05 AM

such tall tower without a spire, incredible!

connected_ · March 15th, 2007, 10:19 AM

Nice design.

Although it would look much better if it was wider!!
