This is an interesting development I think which is why I wanted to make this thread.

Make what you want of it, I think you might find some surprises here.





Stats



Contains 40 towers (36 residential, 4 hotel)

Towers are up to 56 floors in height

Contains 22 million square feet of space

Was the largest single phase development in the world

Located an island in Dubai Marina

The heights are unknown unfortunately







2001 – Developer’s webcam











Model – Taken by Alt-Tab on SSC I think

















2004 – Don’t know who took these, way too long ago. Maybe Trances or Dubai Lover on SSC

Insane construction – From AltinD, Dubai Lover, Alt Tab









































Concrete horrors – same as above























Night time construction – developer webcam and AltinD

















Poor Hotel

This is just a picture series of the Jumeirah Beach Residence project built in Dubai (you know, the commie block looking yellow towers that all look the same). However I wanted to put this thread here since it's about one single project as opposed to about a city, etc.This is an interesting development I think which is why I wanted to make this thread.Make what you want of it, I think you might find some surprises here.Contains 40 towers (36 residential, 4 hotel)Towers are up to 56 floors in heightContains 22 million square feet of spaceWas the largest single phase development in the worldLocated an island in Dubai MarinaThe heights are unknown unfortunately– Developer’s webcam– Taken by Alt-Tab on SSC I think– Don’t know who took these, way too long ago.
