Master-developer Emaar, in its latest property prospectus, provides a detailed and apparently updated graphic of the Marina, as pictured below. A number of interesting features can be observed in the graphic, in particular:A total of 6 bridges cross the Marina canal. (The second and sixth bridge, from left, have not yet been constructed while the first is to be rebuilt.)The layout of the two new

Dubai Marina Phase 1 Area (2-Sep-06)This work in progress will be regularly updated (last update 09-Feb-08) to provide a comprehensive listing of all towers in the Dubai Marina. Primary sources for the roster are Project Dubai's Property Finder's Guide and Skyscrapercity.com's Dubai Marina Forum.The listings which follow include links to images and further details on each tower. Tower names are

Intro:Perhaps one hallmark of this tower is that it was built in record time--21 months (completed April 2005). Another point of interest is its design which incorporates a squared shape on the lower floors, a wider extended shape (due to balconies) at mid-level, a circular shape at the higher level, and a pyramid crown at top. It is definitely an eclectic design which may not work for

Intro:The Marina has lost its Crown!(More about this in the Commentary below.)The Marina Crown will rise to 207 meters with 53 floors (including 51 residential). It adds one more luxurious property to the row of towers lining Al Sufouh Road. It stands between the very exclusive Le Reve and the plot of the yet to break ground Ocean Heights tower. It will offer a range of apartment sizes from 1

Intro:Tallest residential tower in the world--will it be the Princess Tower or 23 Marina? It seems that Princess Tower's developers had the jump start on announcing their project (as early as Nov. 2004) but construction work seems to be moving along more quickly in 23 Marina which was initially announced in March 2005. With a 2008 projected completion date this tower should be able to hold on to

Intro:Dubai Marina Phase 1 consists of six towers--three named after precious stones, Al Mass (28 floors*), Fairooz (20) and Murjan (37)--and three named after Arabic scents--Mesk (37), Anbar (16) and Al Yass (24).(*Floors listed are those with residential units only. The total no. of floors include the no. listed +3.)Perhaps it would have been more useful to assign numbers as oppossed to names

Intro:In most apartment buildings, the most sumptuous sits at the top – the penthouse. Le Rêve is all penthouses! Aimed at the wealthy who want privacy and discretion along with the best in home luxury, the building contains quarters for staff and drivers at the bottom, enabling owners to enjoy a lifestyle normally reserved for exclusive hotels.

Intro:This tower makes claims of being the tallest residential tower in the world. (Of course, this is a projected claim as construction is only just getting underway.) The signboard at the site indicates a height of 380 meters but there appear to be other claims of over 400 meters. There are, as well, conflicting reports about the number of floors. The developer's site indicates 100.

Intro:One of the most impressive tower designs for the Marina, this tower will have 74 floors, rising up to 345 meters. It will house 504 luxury apartments in 1, 2 and 3 bedroom configurations, in addition to stunning duplex penthouses.It is a very popular tower, if not somewhat controversial. This seems due in part to the limited amount of activity that has taken place at the construction site.

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

Intro:This tower is just opposite the MAG 218 Tower on the Dubai Marina Ring Road. It is nearing completion--by mid-2006. It has at present "topped-out" and stands some 208m with 54 floors. It promises to offer spectacular views (from one side) of the Dubai Marina waterway, built at water's edge at the NE point of the marina. It is, for some reason, one of the most popular towers on the

Intro:Of course, it all starts here! Anything that can be said about this tower and project is all at the Community website listed below and in the sidebar. By way of brief introduction, the tower when complete (mid- to late-2008) will stand 275m with 67 floors (55 residential). It is at the NE end of the Dubai Marina, offering partial views of the man-made waterway. --09 Dec. 2005Resources:The

It is, according to its developer Emaar, a "master-planned waterfront community." In reality, it is characterized as much by its water element as by its collection of high-rise towers. Certainly this was part of Emaar's original intent as could be seen in early concept drawings and models. To facilitate this no limits were placed on building heights. What has emerged, however, is probably even

No, this isn't about making a decision to sink three-quarters of a million dirham into an apartment. It's about getting started with the Herculean task of fashioning a larger Dubai Marina community website. The idea started as a way to create an adjunct to the MAG 218 Community site, that would allow residents and investors to capitalize on and participate in the larger community. The potential
