Lets wait and see. I understand that this design does not have height approval yet
It clearly does. Are you really expecting us to believe that after a year working on the project, the design team do not know what their most basic brief is? Anyway Marina Sky Towers had approval for unlimited height.Lets wait and see. I understand that this design does not have height approval yet
Steve, cut out the drama and stop misleading everyone with misinformation. It is obvious that you are only trying to protect your own interest here and that is why you started this thread. The Torch will soon be just another tree in the middle of a forest.
Bay Central All over again where you fill the thread full of misinformation and I have to drill into the facts.
The Press release states clearly that it is a AED 3 Billion project. I said before that we are talking 3 serious sized towers for that kind of money. Princess Tower was a AED700M project and Cayan Tower (Infinity) was a AED1 Billion project. Basic arithmetic tells me this is a project the size of 4 Princess Towers OR 3 more technically challenging Infinity Towers. And yet you and your friends in the Select corner want us to believe it is only 50 or so floors. The numbers just don't stack up.hno:
Other facts worth serious consideration;
Some serious answers needed. I think a review of the early pages of Bay Central Thread or West Avenue thread will provide all the answers to the Select Modus Operandi. And yours for that matter

hno:Other facts worth serious consideration;
- Why are there no renders of the full buildings, only the bottom parts?
- Why is the sales release only a few floors at a time starting at the bottom?
- Would the fact that this may be 3 X 80 floor towers, for example, put a lot of potential buyers off?
- Would the knowledge of the height of the buildings give people a better indication of the likely construction duration?

Are you an authority on the approvals process? I think not. I wish you would stick to the facts and stop posting information dressed as factual when you have no proof to back it up.
Is it not a fact that the roads in the area were recently just ripped up and reconstructed as D2 carriageways. Also the plot next to Cayan tower was offered for sale as a plot with unlimited height approval. This is a district promoted as the tallest block where all plots had unlimited height approval. The only limitation is the imagination and budget of the developer. It is clear from the marketing thus far, that Select is not short of either.
Lets see if we get a render of a full tower, so far everything has been of the lower portion only. Tells me a lot
You should keep a hold of that original, it might be worth a lot of money to someone in their court case in the future :lol:
"Dubai Marina's best kept secret" Not sure about that. I think the Bay Central Hotel only being 12 floors and not opening until 2015 was a better kept secret
