it's a render for OH2 that's left untextured on your (malec) render with a very pessimistic comment, right ? sorry if wrong but a lifetime would not be enough to learn all the dubai individual projects and there exact location when you don't know dubai.
why is it likely not to be built - do they choose the ugliest proposals only ?
that one is really elegant from top to bottom, the podium though not very original at this point is perfectly propotionned - opposite to many oversized ones - and the spire is wonderfully integrated since undeniably part of the building. plus its slenderness on this angle is graceful. one of the more esthetically valuable projects in dubai imo.
and btw, is there a site where your work on the duabi developement project modelization is visible in its whole or partly ?

Pretty much yes. The uglier ones like princess tower are more than always cheaper to build since they're basically just a nicely decorated box with a top.
The reason why I'm saying 5% is because this developer (Damac) is already having massive problems with ocean heights 1, it's been a hole in the ground for more than 2 years now and they still haven't assigned a main contractor.

too much projects on progress, they're running out of people/firms to handle more.
dubai is such a craziness. i hardly believe it really exists sometimes...
what about your - amazing - modelization work being viewable somewhere ?

Well, Damac (building 2 supertowers in the marina) have all the characteristics of a dodgy company.
Massive promotions, advertising, etc, with very little work being done on the ground

Go here for the 3D model
