'Like Dubai itself, great art comes from great vision. 'Anara' is not only a masterpiece in its own right, it is designed to enhance the well being of all residents and it is destined to become the most coveted address in Dubai. 'Anara' represents the future of what is already the most future-forward metropolis in the world'; Mr. Sakhnini said.

Based on current world rankings, the colossal mixed use project will be amongst the world's tallest structures and will comprise an extravagant mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom luxury apartments as well as palatial penthouses with at least one of the penthouses planned to include a private elevator and a private pool and will be the most valuable in the Middle East.

Hosting some of the world's finest shops, boutiques and purveyors of fine goods, Anara will be complemented with picturesque retail space customized in synergy with its intended Art Gallery. Also intended for the tower is a 5 star boutique hotel with 250 rooms and luxury branded hotel apartments, all equipped with opulent amenities.

In addition to its outstanding façade, the design of Anara will answer the environmental challenges posed to modern day skyscrapers by maximizing water and energy efficiency; and potentially including renewable sources of energy, in addition to conforming to the internationally recognized LEED certification requirements.

As testimony to its commitment to Anara and its unrelenting belief in its success, Tameer will be moving its global headquarters into the tower when completed.

'Not only is it situated on some of the most prime real estate in the world, 'Anara' addresses the most pivotal attributes of great structures, including aesthetic creativity, sustainability, efficiency, buildability and greenery; and we at Tameer are confident that upon completion, the project will truly make its mark in all aspects of development'; Mr. Sakhnini said.

 

 

 

The new Marina Sky Towers design.

 

 

East & West the real estate arm of DAS Holding Launches the Marina Sky Towers project. Situated in the heart of Dubai Marina, Marina Sky Towers offers a mix of apartments, penthouses, and commercial spaces within the first tower, while the second is a business-dedicated hub. The 60-storey twin towers house the ideal living and working spaces, along with a multitude of retail facilities combining specialty boutiques, restaurants and entertainment hubs, all jostling for position.


Promoting an environment that is growing ever more refined, Dubai Marina is one of the largest waterfront developments of its kind in the region, conceptualized as a city within a city, proposing a miscellany of residential, commercial, leisure, hospitality and retail services with a view to enhancing the lifestyle of residents and visitors alike.


Enthused by the spirit of its surrounds, Marina Sky Towers is ready and able to become one of the most significant icons within a dynamic community living at the height of fashion. Offering both residential and commercial options, Marina Sky Towers rises above Dubai Marina, almost hugging the water's edge, amongst busy yachts and open-air cafés bustling with a stream of chattering diners and hurrying waiters; suits, secretaries and skateboarders whisking past the scenery.


The artistic design of Marina Sky Towers features curved lines echoing unison and passion as they smoothly rise into the skies, complementing the neighboring area with breathtaking architecture and spectacular vista of the marina, sea and sky.


Marina Sky Towers stands proudly at the mouth of Dubai Marina, unwrapping into the sapphire waters of the Arabian Gulf. With key access points to Sheikh Zayed Road and other major arteries, Marina Sky Towers provides ease of access to Dubai's central areas, Abu Dhabi, Jumeirah and is within walking distance to Dubai Media City.


The project presents an extravaganza of facilities including infinity swimming pools, day care centers, trendy gymnasiums, business centers for meetings and conferences, 24-hour security, guest parking, spa, sauna, Jacuzzi, and all other up-to-the-minute luxury services. In actual fact, the influx of residents and high-tech companies moving into Marina Sky Towers naturally necessitates play and rest areas, stimulating entertainment, fine restaurants and vibrant pedestrian zones.


Marina Sky Towers' vision is a true mixed-use society, a density hub and an environment that fosters serenity, creativity and prosperity.

Commitment to innovative and sustainable urban planning drives Meeras to appoint leading firm in “green” design

Japan’s Nikken Sekkei, an architectural firm known for its consideration of the environmental consequences of its buildings, has been chosen to help design the new Jumeirah Gardens project in Dubai.

The project located across an area north of Sheikh Zayed Road between Diyafa Street and Safa Park is the first master-planned community venture for the Dubai based real estate development company Meraas. Conceived as an integrated city within a city, with distinct neighbourhoods linked by a diverse network of transportation options, it will offer a mix of freehold and leasehold properties.





Nikken Sekkei’s design forms an integral part of the Jumeirah Gardens development, as a new sustainable green oasis in Dubai. The city includes tranquil residential districts, areas dedicated to small offices for entrepreneurs as well as office towers and hotels. Natural breeze corridors will be created by the curvature design of the buildings which once combined with greenery and landscaping ensures a pleasant living environment.

The project will feature at least eight landmark buildings including “Park Gate” and its six paired towers and “1 Dubai”, a mega-structure consisting of three linked towers of staggered heights, with mosaic-like glass and aluminium-mesh cladding set to be one of the tallest and largest buildings in the world.

Jumeirah Gardens will be home to one of the region’s first microclimates. Arched canopies in the Park Gate development will link each set of two towers in the development, creating open-air, but shaded inner atriums. At varying levels on the towers, landscaped gardens and sky gardens, with indigenous saline-tolerant plants will provide natural cooling through evapotranspiration and shading, resulting in a microclimate more than 10 degree centigrade cooler than the outside.

Construction has already begun. The first buildings within Phase 1 are expected to be handed over in the fourth quarter of 2011. Final completion of Phase 1 is set for the fourth quarter of 2013. The entire scheme will be developed over 12 years and on a budget of Dh350 billion.
