^The flag advertises the Pentominum. I assume that it'll be located next door.

The residents of 23 Marina will probably enjoy unobstructed views for a year or two... unless the Pentominium catches up.

Irme, can you give us an update from the water every now and then so we can see progress as a whole? Something like this:

aww man! the Torch's spire looks exactly like the Thanksgiving Cathedrel in Dallas. I wonder if was intentional? wouldnt be surprised.

I hate the way Dubia rips of stuff in thier highrises,but there lowerrises look very lovely and original. Park Island,for example.

But still,the amount of construction and engineering is amazing!

The spire looking like one from a cathedral? That's strange since the one on the torch looks like it's all glass. Any pictures of it?

By the way there are rumours about a project on the site in front of the torch that will consist of 3 towers, all over 90 floors. This would majorly suck for anyone who has bought in the torch and marina heights. Apparantly one is an office tower which would add loads of traffic to the area. I think it'd be way better if they built one massive tower between the torch and marinaheights and then maybe some smaller buildings in front, public facilities, etc.





New project near to the supertall area:






There was an excellent collection of pictures posted on SSC a few days ago by this guy called steve.
These are only a sample, the entire thing starts here

Marina promenade by Emaar:




The Marina mall and the massive monolithic slab beside it:




Traffic lights and towers:




Random tower:




Lots of boats:




This is the very first area of the marina. Hopefully the rest will be like this:




Tallest block with rising princess tower:




Al Fattan towers:




Jumeirah Beach Residence yellowness.




Emaar tower:




More Emaar towers:




The Jewels:




Tallest Block canyon starting to form:




At night:

Jeeze, Dubai is getting some really nice towers, its such a shame that theres so much construction and the "next big thing" in Dubai that many of these towers get lost in the crowd.

So the Pentominium will be Dubai's second tallest right? Are there any skyline renders of it? I'm just wondering how it relates to Burj Dubai, if it helps pull the skyline together.
