Sweet, Princess Tower's core has surpassed the other tower's (what's its name again?) roof level!

Also, is the Torch the tallest in the Marina right now or is it not there yet?

Nooooo, you ruined my posting spree!

The name is emirates marina serviced apartments I think.
Also I don't think the torch is the tallest yet but will be in 2 weeks definitely. Another 2 or 3 floors is all that's needed.

Sucks that Princess Tower has those ugly white corners. Those corners would've offered amazing views.

Question

Did something bad happen? Not a word about any of these in almost a month. Did everything come to a "pause" for awhile?

Damac Heights (Zetas are coming back on site now. Maybe the redesign is done and they will start building now. Apparantly this has been scaled back to around 70 floors but we won't know until the new design comes out)

Wow! It's like having a whole month's worth of updates, all at once. I especially love the photos from the top of the torch ... some of them almost make one feel dizzy, looking down.

Thanks for the update, and all the hard work!

Those pictures taken from the top of the Torch DEFINITELY make me feel dizzy!!! In a good way, of course.
The one that shows all the way down alongside Princess Tower really kicked my vertigo into a higher gear.

In short: awesome pictures.

As an aside, I never noticed in the drawings that Infinity's sides were so uneven: two are slightly convex and two are concave. Did I say that right? Two sides are somewhat hollow and two others billow out a bit. I always assumed each floor was a perfect square instead of a "squeezed octagon".

^^ I think it's an irregular hexagon actually since 2 sides are completely flat while the other "sides" have two parts which make them concave and convex.

Unbelievable photos! Absolutely stunning views of the Marina and the Palm Jumerirah. In this shot you can barely make out the Burj Dubai in the distance. I didn't realize it was that far from the Marina District...
