I check out the threads all the time too, but I don't believe in saying "good looking tower" in every thread, just to increase my post count. Keep up the updates Malec, I appreciate it. Your renders kick ass!

Very strange but there is still lots of work happening, just check for yourself what happened over the past 2 weeks. |
That's a small footprint for a building over 1,500 feet tall! That is strange though. I've been meaning to ask, what are those vertical tubes? Is it piping? Support? For what?
|
^^ Support.
Anyway, more pictures Quote:
|
Could this final dig be the last one? I really hope we see this building rise in a couple months.
|
So it looks like piling was actually completed. :)

You guys may like the skyscrapers, but the truth is that Dubai is totally out of whack.
|
we know, but that's off-topic in this thread, so your post will probably be deleted :tup:

Excavation continues, still nothing about the main contractor though.

so is this thing a go or what?
|
I really hope this one will rise.

Maybe a main contractor has actually been selected and we know nothing about it. I really doubt this though. What's really strange is that there has been no mention whatsoever about even looking for a main contractor, yet progress so far has been really good. Compare that to burj al alam where nothing is being done on the foundation but there is an article every month about finding a main contractor. |

Little to no progress here. I guess now is when we have to wait for the main contractor. How long will it take? :(

If construction hasn't started, only excavation, then I am changing the building's status in the database back to proposed. http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=56322

No no. Piling has been completed. We just don't know what's going to happen now since they haven't found (or else are just keeping it a secret) a main contractor.
|
Is Swissboring not a main contractor? there are also some news/rumours in Dubai Real Estate Market that the project is going to be on hlod, is this true?
|
no joke. thats the smallest footprint for a tower of that height on record.

if not, is swiss boring the first main contractor and now it is changed and Swissboring is restricted to only for piling work? |
This is actually a good-lookin' tower.
