Looks nice. Is there a thread for all the Jumeirah Lake Towers in SSP?

Anyways, looks awesome. Can't wait to see the completed tower.

That cluster is unbelievable. From nothing to dense enough for a 363-meter tower to just fade into the background....in only a few years. Dubai seems like quite a place.

'Some nice pictures of this tower '

I'd rather say amazingly unbelievable! Especially the last photography.

Truly unreal, especially the second one (with the man). That looks like something out of a science-fiction novel. Like the undiscovered city on the moon that a lone lunar explorer just happened to come upon... any of you who are authors, I just set up your next bestseller.

OMFG! Those pictures are amazing! The first and second pics are the best imo. They truly look like a scene from Babylon AD or the Fifth Element.

Amazing! I'd buy a poster like that for my room!

^^^The four photographs by Alisdair Miller are sensational.
Does anyone know who he is, or have any background information?

Rarely has a photograph given me the chills. All FOUR of his did.

Any news of what companies are going to occupy this building? Hopefully some industry will cause some of those residentials to be occupied that Almas towers over.

I think some of this tower will be occupied by some diamond industry, only something like 10 floors though. I doubt there will be much business in these times though. By the way from the nighttime pictures it looks like the completed JLT towers are more occupied than in the marina. Maybe because it's cheaper.

Well hopefully time will fill this building among others. This is too nice of an office building to be left vacant.
