Great Job Malec!!!

Is the Nikko Hotel have an apartment complex or office space next to it? It looks like it has an Asian Influence in it's architecture. I like how they are going more for density in Dubai though.

Also, the Etisalat Tower is a pretty radical design with the ball on top.

Excellent job, keep up the great work.

Yes, great job malec!
I love the design of Rose Rotana.

How many of these buildings will be residential, as opposed to office? Is the office tower building surge in Dubai as large as the hotel and residential building surge? I've been looking around on the internet, but I haven't been able to find the number of residentual buildings under construction compared to the number of office towers under construction.

Keep us udated malec, and keep up the great work!

I think most will be res towers, then some office and some hotels. They're overdoing the whole res thing IMO but they're on the right track with hotels and office. I think at the moment they're in need of twice the office space they have now and as more people move in this should increase too

Thanks for all the nice pics again Malec.  You know maybe we should have a topic where people can point out their favorite architecture and buildings.  I just don't know what to say about the architecture over there that I haven't already said, just amazing.

Another Great Idea Mith.

We could do something like that in this forum.

[NCB]

Well, I have yet to find a design I didnt like!

[Mith242]

I'm just wondering how I can narrow my choices down when there's so many great designs to choose from.

[malec]

My favourites are Al Sharq, Rose Rotana, Park place, unnamed 60F one and golden sands tower (It's looking a lot better than in the renderings btw)

Ones I don't really like are Salman tower, nuami tower and liberty tower

I can't keep with them all.  We'll have to start a topic where everyone can pick their favorites and hopefully put a picture of it too.  Some of those names I remember seeing but I don't recall what they looked like offhand.
Ah, I see.  You picked ones in this topic.  No wonder they seemed familiar.  I thought you were picking from all the buildings that have been posted in all the Dubai topics.

LOL, your not the only one.
The number of developments is amazing.

Here's some of my favorite buildings currently up in along SZR.

Emirates Office Tower and the Emirates Hotel Tower.

The Emirates Office Tower is 60 Floors ,354.6 Metres tall and is the world's 11th tallest building. The Emirates Hotel Tower is 54 Floors and 305 Metres tall.

Thanks, the Emirates Building Complex really is something.

[mcheiss]

Here's one under construction called the Rose Rotana Suites, which is suppose to be a 72 Story, 333 Metre Building which will be a New Tallest Hotel, which will pass up the current World's Tallest of the Burj Al Arab also in Dubai.

The building will consist of 535 furnished apartments. A 9 storey car park will be connected to the building by a pedestrian bridge.

Here's a Rendering:



Here's the current Construction Status:

[Mith242]

Thanks for the pics Matt, including the current status pic so we can see at what stage it's in.

[NCB]

That is definately one of my favorite buildings!
I really like the design.

One of the thinnest towers ever built. Should be quite a sight once done.

Yes, so now Dubai will have the World's Tallest Hotel, and the Second Tallest Hotel (Burj Al-Arab).
