What an ugly building,, look at those palms on the roof ??!!?

looks like a missle launcher...and the antina is more like ingiction, this could be good as hospital only.

and its green again,.... hope they will revise this one to look more civilized

The building isn't ugly, it's different. I like how you broke down the building into different ugly parts hehe.

it's under construction i see the construction every day from my office.. i'll try to get some pictures tomorrow

pics would be great cuz i was wondering where in the diplomatic area it is exactly i.e. along the highway or right in the middle?

I guess this should be the tallest building in the dimplomatic area, it should be about the height of zamil tower and i think only 3 metres shorter than NBB

:dj:

 

[Bahraini Spirit]

This is actually taller from Al Zamil by 2 m . Let's hope it's on the road where it'll stand out, looks like it from the render.

You know before, they always mentioned that NBB tower was 140m but then suddenly it dropped to 101m for some reason.

 

[Moody]

Well lets hope BFH and WTC will both maintain their proposed hight then,

Almoyed Tower had a different shape at top level and looked higher 47 floors, but donno how many were built then..any idea?

 

[Skyline-BRN]

Moody: well according to the emporis Bahrain section the almoayyed tower is 49 floors standing at a height of 172m.

B.Spirit: wow 140m would have been great....but i guess they did not feel there was enough demand to meet the extra office space at the time...or perhaps it might have been due to some sort of aesthetic skyline reasoning, i mean when the NBB tower was first built it did stick out like sore thumb!! i mean just look at this pic...it looks at least 200m....

[Skyline-BRN]

guys, how can i post the pictures?

Elmahri I dont think we can upload images onto the skyscraper city server.

What you can do is sign up to an online photo storage account. you can get one for free at http://www.imagestation.com.

Once you sign up, you can upload the images you want onto your account.

once you have uploaded the images you want, you can then hyperlink them through your post here using the command.

so when you want to post a pic you type in the following code: [img][I]LINK TO YOUR UPLOADED PICTURE HERE[/I]

hope this helps

:dj:

the last thing the Diplomatic area needs is a new tower !
