Green suits? Well that's a departure from Dubai's standard Blue Man Group. I guess Abu Dhabi is doing its own thing. Green ftw.
Nice to see the towers progress so far. As most of the foundation work seems to be done, we should see these shooting upwards in no time.
Love Abu Dhabi's downtown density too. Seems much more walkable than Dubai's current highrise areas, while Dubai's dense districts lack the height that Abu Dhabi has. In the meanwhile, the new project provides a much needed central open area for the district, anchored by a massive space for congregation and signature towers. A great way to handle the focal point of a dense business center.
I'm going to be very interested to see how the curtainwall looks in real life. I don't see how they can replicate the look of the render, but I sure hope they do.
Will do, Tom. Got to Abu Dhabi late last night, already starting to explore (generally by taxi) the place. Pretty amazing stuff, though the vast, vast majority of the buildings are in the 15-25 story range...

I hope these towers get really nice cladding like the Guangzhou Twin Towers. Those towers have some sexy glass! And hopefully these don't get that cheap, crap that looks like it's gonna pop out of the window frame.

I'm surprised we don't find any more updates on this to be honest. Neary a 400m tower in any other country and it would be the talk of the city.
Anyway its rising nicely.
