Does anyone give a shit?
Will there most likely not be one single post after I post this update?
Is that just because it's in Dubai?

BTW, how thin is the thinnest building in the world?
By that I mean height to width ratio.
This one is currently at 1/2 its height so will be about 10:1

^ I heard 1 King West in Toronto was, but it could be hearsay.
I'm amazed at how fast this sucker is rising.

So much is happening in Dubai. I'm surprised that this building is going up so quickly, considering that resources have to be an issue.

With some other buildings it definitely is an issue though. A lot of towers especially in the marina area have been slow especially at ground work.

46 floors out of 72.
26 to go. It will probably top out by the end of the year.

Mabye when the building has more glass on it I'll change my opinion but the cladding looks too 'office park.'
Btw..how ped friendly is the SZR? It looks like a freeway with skyscrapers lining the sides. How do people cross the street?
The Rotana will be a tall, thin building. It looks cool. But people on the first 50 floors are going to have..well..not going to have any views.
