Dubaï (E.A.U.)

Le 'Pinnacle' a ete renome 'Al Burj' et a ete deplace du plam jumera (remplacer par le 'Trump Hotel') au waterfront.
Cette tour est confirmee par Nakheel (developeur) mais comme d'hab a Dubai on a toujours pas de hauteur mis a par qu'elle devrait friser voire depaser le Burj Dubai

Merci pour l'info,
il faut préciser une chose que, ils changent d'avis très très souvent, donc, on attenra le chantier du projet final.

En voilà encore une folie!!

Hydropolis. Entièrement assemblé en Allemagne, cet hôtel sous-marin sera immergé aux large de Dubai fin 2006. Il comportera 220 suites dont les fenêtres panoramiques donneront sur des fonds marins. Le prix d'une chambre pour la nuit s'élèverait à 500 dollars.

Jumeirah Lake Tower. Cette tour s'inscrit dans la construction de l'ambitieuse propriété ultra-moderne baptisée Jumeirah Lake Towers. Cette dernière est elle-même incluse dans le gigantesque Dubaï Waterfront.

Cette tour a ete annule. En plus je crois que le hydropolis a ete annule aussi.

salut malec,
ca m'étonnerait que hydropolis soit annulé, à moins que tu as des sources bien précises!!
Mais, je rappelle toujours que, dans ce pays, tout ce qu'il n'a pas commencé, peut etre annuler ou modifier., jusquà la dernière minute. pas besoin de donner des exemples
Donc, attendons la fin des travaux

Dubai Metro plans to extend network

By Anjana Kumar, Freelance Writer

Published: 09/27/2006 12:00 AM

Dubai keeps adding lines and colours as it plans citywide coverage for its hugely ambitious metro rail project. A Purple Line is in the conceptual stage to provide services to Dubai International Airport and cover the catchment areas along Al Khail Road.

There are also plans for a Blue Line to meet the projected needs of the growing population base in newly developing residential areas. “International experience suggests that the Metro route tends to bring economic regeneration along its route and this in turn will have an upturn impact on real estate close to the railway,” says Abdul Majid Al Khaja, Chief Executive Officer, Rail Agency, part of the Roads and Transport Agency, the company behind the metro project.

“According to our planning studies, it is predicted the areas of Jumeirah Village triangle and the Green Community vicinity will see a population growth that justifies the provision of rail services — this is why we are also planning a further Blue Line along the Emirates Road.”

(...)

Round-the-clock infrastructure work has already started at key locations in the city for the primary route network. The surrounding areas in most of these routes fall into the well-developed category. But the expansion of the route network into the city’s emerging areas is unlocking a wave of land buying and selling activity. The process will accelerate once the station locations are identified for the new lines, according to analysts.

The experience in other cities suggests that areas within reach of a station will feel the immediate benefits of land price gains. Some of these sites neighbouring the stations could be developed for commercial endeavours as parking bays and retail facilities.

What’s on track

• The Dubai Metro is designed to carry 23,200 passengers an hour in each direction on the Red Line, and 16,000 on the Green Line.
• The Rail Agency predicts that the system will carry around 1.85 million passengers per day. Each train is planned to have a capacity of 658 passengers.
• Two interchange stations will be built at Union Square and BurJuman.
• The Red Line is expected to run 52 kilometres — from Rashidiya in the north through BurJuman and Union Square and Shaikh Zayed Road, and progressively extending to Jebel Ali Port in the south.
• The Green Line will be about 22 kilometres and will run from Al Ghusais via the Central Business District and pass through BurJuman, Union Square, Al Ras and eventually reach Jadaf 2 along the shores of the Creek.

Autre chose:
The Palm Trump International Hotel and Tower, also referred to as Trump Tower Dubai, will be the luxury centerpiece building of the Palm Golden Mile, located on the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah. Initially the tower was shaped like an opening golden tulip, but in April 2006 its design was changed to feature a split linked tower with an innovative open core design.

The Palm Trump International Hotel and Tower will be a 48-storey mixed-use condo-hotel and residence with a 300 room five-star hotel and 360 freehold residential apartments. Some of the amentities include exclusive access to a private beach and yacht club with tennis courts, gymnasium and fitness centre, stylized pools and gardens. The AED 2.2 billion (US$ 600 million) development will be the first joint venture between Al Nakheel and The Trump Organization, who's president and chairman is Donald Trump.

Expected Completion Date - In 2009

"Living By Design
Imagina a tower whose unique spiralling design reflects the boundless energies and ever-changing shapes of the deserts, winds and seas that surround it.

Imagina a building whose stylish, graceful lines will become a byword for modern design and luxurious living throughout the world.  Imagine Infinity, a truly unique building that spirals by an amazing 90º as its slender tower rises 80 stories into the sky.

Making something new, something that goes beyond fashion or aesthetics, begins with a unique vision born out of the heart of imagination, and brought to life by a rich partnership of creativity and experience.

The visionary management of Cayan and Palma Real Estate chose Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM), the world-renowned and award-winning architectural group to be their partners in this remarkable project. When the team began their task, they were inspired both by the unique setting of Dubai Marina and the dynamic simplicity to be found in the organic curves of nature.  This extraoridinary design will make Infinity a classic of 21st centruy architecture, a tribute to the power of design and the role it can play in our lives."

How the Great Dubai Wheel in Dubailand will look.


Dubai: Dubai Municipality has approved the master plan of the Dh250-million Great Dubai Wheel project.

Developers say the wheel will be the tallest observation wheel in the world, and will be larger than the London Eye, which was recently voted the world's best tourist attraction.

Work will begin shortly on the 185-metre Observation Wheel, one of Dubailand's key tourist attractions, which will welcome its first visitors in early 2009 and provide a panoramic view of Dubai.

It will have 30 orbiter capsules with a total capacity of 7.5 million guests per year. The project also includes a restaurant and condominiums.

During the journey on the wheel, the visitor will be able to view distances of up to 50 kilometres.

The master plan was presented to Dubailand and Dubai Municipality by Great Wheel Corporation, a company that develops, finances, builds and operates Great Wheels. Currently, the group is working on various sites around the world.

"Dubai from the sky: Palm Jebel Ali and The World

Gulf News report


The Palm Jebel Ali will be the second of Nakheel's three palm projects to be completed, with construction set to finish in 2010.

Dubai has excelled itself in imagination and ambition with The World, a cluster of 300 man made islands shaped like a map of the world.

The project, being developed by Nakheel and due for completion in 2010, represents an investment of more than Dh3bn."

pour l'instant, on en est là:

Même si je l'ai déja dit c'est une véritable catastrophe écologique ces îles.

C'est vrai que des îles artificielles dans le désert absolu et dans de l'eau vide et sans intérêt, ça craint pour l'environnement   

Peut être as tu raison mais moi je pensais qu'il y avais peut être des coreaux ou des poissons rare en cette région mais bon si les eaux sont vides et sans intérêt.

Comment peux-tu prétendre une telle chose. tu plaisantes non?

@Cri Me  pas de coraux dans cette région. le désert, le désert et le désert

@ Wyno

Non, je ne plaisante pas. Je ne connais pas cette région, mais plusieurs amis y ont vécu et m'on décrit pas mal de choses de ce coin de la terre. 

Des îles artificielles peuplées de touristes ventripotents et bourrés de dollars, et que fait-on des eaux usées? Direct dans la mer ou on a prévu des canalisations pour les ramener à terre et les traiter?   

Même si le coin est désert et sans intérêt, les environs vont rapidement devenir un vaste dépotoir... ça n'est plus de l'architecture, c'est de la terraformation sur terre, ce qui est parfaitement absurde.
