This is just to give examples of the type of things Damac do and to show the standard of the design the 90F tower will have if built.

Okay thanks, I need to look more into Damac.

Here's a tower development going in the Business Bay.

The Churchill Towers will consist of 1 61 Floor Tower and 1 43 Floor Tower. The 61 Floor Tower will be a residential project, while the 43 Floor Tower will be office space.

Here's some pics:

I'm sure I posted those. Maybe I didn't but anyway, chrysler rape is what I say. Business bay could do without designs like these but more towers like al manara, etc...

The larger tower really reminds me of the Chrysler Building.

I agree.

I know it doesn't fit in very well with the urban theme, but then again it does add Structural Diversity to Dubai.

^Yea, and I still really like the overall design.

Emirates airlines plans to launch its own hotel chain and is thinking about developing the so called 70 storey park twin towers project in Business Bay.

Emirates has unveiled ambitious plans to establish itself as a hotel brand capable of going head to head with international chains. The airline, which already manages the Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa and owns Le Meridien Al Aqah in Fujairah, has announced its entry into the serviced apartments sector, with the Emirates Marina Serviced Apartments & Spa scheduled to open in September 2006. A second serviced apartments and hotel venture at Dubai’s Green Lakes has also been inked, and the airline is now considering whether or not to establish itself as an international hotel brand.

Along with the Emirates Marina property, Emirates also has a second serviced apartments complex under development in Dubai. The Green Lakes project is slated to open in September 2008.

Further expansion plans include the construction of two towers in Dubai’s new Business Bay district, on the shores of the Dubai Creek. Currently named ‘Park Towers’, the two 70-storey towers will offer a total of 1400 units. One tower will operate as a five-star hotel, while the second will offer serviced apartments.

Conservation boutique resorts are another area in which Emirates is looking to expand. The airline, which already operates Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa and is the sole sponsor of the Dubai Desert Reserve, has announced plans to operate a conservation resort in Australia and is considering a marine resort in the Seychelles. Branding is already underway, with the name ‘Sanctuary Resorts’ being rolled out across its fledgling portfolio of eco resorts.

I can't remember. I mentioned those didn't I?

These will be on an unlimited height plot. I think I mentioned a 90F by Damac and this one.

They have to find a different name. Park Towers already exist. Seems there are so many towers they're running out of names

[mcheiss]

Not sure if you mentioned it, sorry if you already did.

This would make it one of the tallest hotels in Dubai and the world, but would it be aimed at the business man or the tourist?

[malec]

Have no idea.

What's the source of that BTW?

[mcheiss]

I found it on the internet.

I've been meaning to post it for a while, I think it was AME or Go wealthy.

[mcheiss]

Some more renderings released by the developers.

[Mith242]

Interesting look going on there.

A new one:
One business bay:

[mcheiss]

Wow, that's possibly the best office tower I've seen designed for Dubai!!
