Al Attar, Al Yacoub, HHHR, these towers are hideous! Emirates Park Towers had a lot of potential but from what I see they're coming out okay, not as impressed ad much as I though I would. I hope Infinity Tower doesn't have the same result...

I think we need to wait for them to finish the cladding, then judge. They are putting aluminium strips on the side of the towers which will definitely improve them a little.
Yes, the tower tops out at 317m. According to the shop drawings, the height at the top of the spire would be 317.6m.
The tower still has quite a few things left in terms of finishing( staircases, bathrooms, etc.). The higher floors are almost done. I happened to have an inspection on the roof, so i took some pics with my crappy cell.
The first car park is almost done. The staircase needs to painted using epoxy paint, and they are still in preparation. The link between the tower and the car park also needs some finishing work. The lift lobby is still awaiting inspection. The contractor is kinda slow, and the organisation is poor.
I haven't gone around to the second car park for inspections yet. It is still under preparation for plaster. Most of the office personnel park in the second car park.
Sorry if the images are huge :ohno:

Good news for the proposed P17 tower, or the Hard Rock Hotel.
