A nice project to add dimension to Sheikh Road's linear skyline.
However, I would rather get an apartment in one of Dubai's [soon to be even more] abundant skinny residential towers, where I may get a nice place with views on about three sides and maybe a balcony or two, rather than share space in this monolith with views only on two sides.
Well, most of the skinny res towers are all crammed into a tiny area in the marina so chances are you'll buy an apartment on the 80th floor and still have no views
Instead I'd love to own one in this 360m res tower which'll probably have some amazing views and also be near a metro station.
I like this one.... it will be nice in Dubai cos it's a bit different from most of their stuff. But at the same time, I think it's as ugly as sin. That said, I probably wouldn't mind it in my city.
Wow Dubai's skyline really looks like a traditional cluster from that angle, pretty cool. Gets me anticipating when much more of Dubai is complete and there will be several well developed massive skylines, without the eyesore holes that exist right now.

Well, all those holes on the left of the index will be built up with towers. In fact behind where the photo was taken (burj dubai) will be even more towers. It'll take many years before it gets any way dense though since towers are not built in a cluster and then outwards but when an area is designated for highrises they'll be built in random locations until there are enough of them to create density.
For my sense of Point of View, already visited Dubai last year, I see the biggest Lego construction city in the world that should be futuristic soon made by the playmobils. So, many icons there have futuristic appearance like Burj Al Arab, Burj Dubai and so on. That new icon is asking past architecture items and try to use elements of the 70's to bring contradiction to the Skyline.
Seeing as a big building, I prefer other ones more up to date, like the ones beeing building in Shanghai, other boom in new scrapers. This one is just one more very high building in Dubai as quantity at all. Considering it would be huge, impress, but only in how big it is, but not in quality- I do not see a strong postcard on it, like the others mentioned.
Very nice Malec, Thanks for calling. The building is getting its high. I see too concrete on it, not more a tendency in architecture up to date, but great. considering the position of it, it would be a good office use one. The pics are very nice. Let's see how high comes. BTW, have you photos from BurjDubai updated??? It is now more than half. I have only photos from the initial phase. Maybe there is a topic here. Thanks for sharing...
I hope that they're not going to apply paint on the concrete.
You know what... I totally agree with you. Usually I'm not a big fan of these concrete massings, but it the glass is nice I think that it would actually look good.
The renderings show a treatment in white to those concrete structures, but none is said about paint. So don't worry people here. The bldg at all will be very nice when finished, although is still 70's architecture. Cladding could be, maybe some new materials as plastic panels or some ceramics. I do not know.
