Like the Jumeirah Lake towers, this is another masterplanned community of towers but it's by Emaar and contains a bit less than 200. This is the first out of the two and there are many towers nearing completion now. Also jumeirah beach residence is in this project.

Here we go:


A few visions of what it'll look like in the future
Again will take too long to post details of each tower. If everyone helps, maybe.

I'll help you with some of the towers, it'll just take me a little while.

I'm suprised this isn't being done by Nakheel, This is practically a city rising out of the sand!!!

[malec]

The thing is though, this doesn't work like the palm where Nakheel builds everything. Plots are sold here for other smaller developers to build towers

So in a way, diversity of real estate is a bit more with this development.

Here's a few that look completed:

The Murjan and Mesk which are both 37 stories. I'm guessing that these are residential.

Nice pic Matt.  I like the 'dome' design on the top of the buildings.

Yeah, really gives it that Mid-East Feel.

I really like the dome design as well. I think it tops out the building very well.

Here's some more completed towers in the Dubai Marina.

The first tower is the Fairooz Tower which is 23 Floors and around 98 Metres. It's strictly Residential:



The next is the Al Mass Tower which is 31 Floors and 138 Metres. It's also Residential:



The Al Yass Tower, which is 27 Floors and 124 Metres and Residential as well:



The Last Tower is the Anbar Tower, which is residential and 19 Floors:

The first three towers look interesting, but the last one doesn't do much for me.

[Mith242]

I like how most of them have incorporated Islamic designs into the buildings.  Very interesting.

[mcheiss]

Yeah it's like a mix of the typical Florida Condo with some Islamic Architecture features.

Here's another tower development in the Marina, Park Island.

Park Island will consist of four Residential Towers, The Bonaire Tower (28 Floors), The Fairfield Tower (28 Floors), Blakely Tower (24 Floors), and Sanibel Tower (24 Floors).

Park Island will also have numerous landscaped areas and water features, three parks, plentiful parking, swimming pool, squash courts, a health club, gymnasium, games room, business centre, four guest bedrooms, and four car parking levels for tenants and visitors.

It should be complete by 2007.

^The two middle towers look nice.

These types of photos are generally not taken:

I can see the Jumeirah Beach Residences in one of those shots, but I can't make out any more of the Residential Buildings under construction.

You can also see from the pics that Dubai is not just full of Mid-Easters, but Westerners as well.

[malec]

In fact, the marina should be a mostly European area

So is Dubai's population very diverse than?

I know Westerners are pouring into Dubai, but are there Asians, Latinos, etc?

After looking at all these beautiful developments I can't think of anywhere else in the world I would rather live. Time to start playing the Lottery again. And this time I'll win!
