It all seems a bit excessive.

ANd I get really sick of this new way to name places that seems to be taking the world by storm "The Residences at..." or "The Shopping Center at..." or "The Condos at..."

What if a different residential complex is built nearby?  Are those "The Other Residences at..."???

Oh well.  Maybe I just don't think that building massive cities in a desert with huge manmade lakes is a good idea.

Well they are building the Jumeirah Beach Residences a bit away which consists of 40 Skyscrapers.

I don't know of massive lakes being built in the area is that bad of an idea, as well.
