Marina Pinnacle

Intro:

71 floors and 260m in height this tower will be SE of the MAG 218 Tower on the Dubai Marina Ring Raod. (Separating the two towers will be a planned Dubai Marina mall.) The tower will offer as many as 748 apartments on 61 residential floors. At present piling work is being carried out within an extremely deep excavation pit. Completion is expected in 2007. Views of the Marina may be spoiled to some extent by the 345 meter Torch tower to be built just opposite. However, partial views should be possible at an angle. --10 Dec. 2005

With Reference to MAG 218:

The Marina Pinnacle, like the Marina Heights will be one of the MAG 218's closest neighbors. The two towers are of similar height and both feature a retangular design, however on closer inspection the Pinnacle is of a more classic, office-tower type design, while the MAG 218 is more stylistic. Ideal to both towers are their juxtapositions beside the planned shopping mall.

Floor Plan:

Commentary:

The lucky residents of the Marina Pinnacle will have 4 swimming pools (2 indoor/2 outdoor) to enjoy compared to the MAG 218's one. With the two tower's side-views facing each other at relative close proximity, residents may end up sharing more experiences than they'd like! If any two towers are to eventually rival one another in the neighborhood, I predict that these two shall. --10 Dec. 2005
