Dubai - SZR Construction

Dubai's Sheikh Zayed Road was near-empty desert as recently as the early 1990s. Much has changed in the last 15 years and more unnamed plots have recently been released to extend the skyline further.

Please use this thread to post any proposals, renders and updates that appear anywhere along the strip.

To start off, here is SZR in 1993......



and more recently......

He started a similar SZR thread somewhere else in ssp, but I'm not sure where it is. It would make for good link reference.

I don't ever remember seeing another SZR thread on SSP myself, but it kinda makes sense to have one in the ME&A section anyway!

Some more from Brian McMorrow

Look at this site:



Here is being build a complex of 3 combined towers:



Hotel Tower 4B+G+M+54
Residential Tower 4B+G+M+54
Office Tower 4B+G+M+50


but if you think that is great, see what was first planed to be build there, but changed becouse of the new Airport height restrictions applied in the aerea, restricting the maximum height in that plot to just 198 meters:



85F / 340m
75F / 300m
65F / 280m

Here's a quick assembly of one side of the SZR diagrams available on ssp:
As of Jan. 1 2007:

EtisalatTelecom Bldg. / World Trade Center / Emirates Office Tower / Emirates Hotel Tower / The Tower / Capricom Tower / Kendah House / Sky Tower / Al Attar Tower / Ghaya Residence / Rose Rotana / Oasis Tower / 21st Century Tower / Damas Tower 1 / Damas Tower 2 / Dunsit Dubai

I added a couple that weren't complete yet (R.R. and D.T.1&2), but were done enough to make an impact on the skyline as of Jan.1 so I went ahead and added them. If you see any in the diagrams that belong on this side of the road, or any corrections/additions, please let me know. I ended with Dunsit because there is a lot of ground between this one and the couple other ones near the BD and it wouldn't look right next to the Dunsit, especially with only one or two to add.

I would like to add them if, somehow, it would look right in the diagram.

And facing the other side of the road:

Shangri La Hotel / Chelsea Tower / Sheikh Marwan Tower / Towers Rotana Hotel / Saeed Tower 2 / Zabeel Tower / Khalid Al Attar Tower / Al Wasl / Park Place / API Tower / Fairmont Hotel

Very few diagrams available for this side and several not even listed even though they are completed. Maybe more will be made in the future.

Maybe a lazy question but what exactly is SZR, is it that road with skyscrapers on each side of it?
