Re: Those *****ers have finally lost it...
Fantastic planning - starting work before seeing what the final plans are.
I'm not a construction expert, is this normal for Dubai? |

Ah...the free Burj beach will now be unbearable to go to, soon to be replaced by advertisements using the words 'luxury', 'lifestyle' and 'fittings'
Also soon to announce the Burj Beach Beach Club...enjoy the beach you used to sit on for free, now only Dh15,000 a year (one cheque and no Indians) |

I'm not a construction expert, is this normal for Dubai? In fact, you can pretty much guarantee on any job that the building will be 80% complete and some Architect on an ego-trip will want to change something. And not want to pay for it, naturally. |

Re: Those *****ers have finally lost it...
To be honest I'm surprised it took this long. They should have done this before all the other new developments. A nice corniche type thingy is lacking here

Absolutely....a promenade like they have in France and Italy...lots of restaurants with outside seating, shops, a nice walkway....I cannot believe it's not done already...all seaside resorts have one, even in Holland, lol.
I can imagine how envious Nice and Portofino will be when reading the news, not even in Holland, lol! http://blazingphotos.com/gallery/portofino.html |

Yeah it's not unusual provided the client doesn't mind the possible delays and cost of having to change everything again! Any idea who the master planners are? 101 |

"seaside resort", that's the keyword. Dubai is not, they're trying to make it one, e.g. building up a landmark, the Burj Al Arab, and then they'll go for a nice promenade with a view. Of the Burj Al Arab.

Re: Those *****ers have finally lost it...
They will ruin this development too, yet again, by building really ugly looking buildings and covering every square inch of the beach.
Look at those ugly buildings dotting the creekside (when you look across from the Creek park), the Marina, JLT, the Palm. Can't imagine what these glass facade buildings must look like now, after the recent sand storms:ohmy: |
Re: Those *****ers have finally lost it...
You just wish for once they could leave something as it is...the beach there is fine, and great to go for an afternoon with the kids. They are also working on the public beach in Jumeirah 1 - anyone any ideas what they are doing there??
