I've seen these before. Looks great. But it's a little too repetitive with the design but hey, it's Dubai.

^It's Abu Dhabi. . . not Dubai. . .

Same country. But yeah. I saw them in IDK where and I kinda liked them. Maybe keep the 3 main towers and change the small ones with a boxier design. The designs are nice, but the Emirates have way too many oddly shaped towers and not enough square ones. That's the problem.

^Haha. . . actually Abu Dhabi has lots of boxy buildings. . . seems that all the new buildings have to be shaped funny to gain attention despite the fact that all these new projects will be 3 times as tall as anything else in town :)

Nice. It would be nice to see more than Dubai getting in the spotlight.

This photo was taken from the emirates palace but the photographer doesn't say it's of these towers. Don't know of any other developments near the emirates palace though. It's the right contractor though.

I was expecting the glass to look cheap with bubbles in every glass panels but it looks very smooth. The dark blue could've been better. In the renderings it looks a little more transparent.

Damn, these towers really surprised me! I thought they would look cheap and ugly but they looks really really good. They might even challenge Almas Tower!
