Sulafa Tower will comprise four basements, a ground floor, four podium floors and then 70 typical floors, adding up to a total of 79 stories comprising 724 residential units. The height of the building means that the piling needs to be deep, which calls for deep excavation works.
The footprint for this residential tower is approximately 11,484m2 with a total built up area of around 426,720m2. When construction proper gets underway in a few months’ time, Sulafa Tower will be looking at using around 82,000m3 of concrete and 16,000 tonnes of steel.
The vision of Dubai Marina is to create an awe-inspiring city-within-a city that delights residents with its cosmopolitan, free-spirited atmosphere and unique, invigorating lifestyle. It will be an urban centre on the water, comparable to the most exclusive waterfront developments in the world's leading cities. Ideally positioned along Dubai's new growth corridor, Dubai Marina will be the place where people meet, laugh, live and enjoy life to the full. Always alive, with the glittering Marina at its heart, Dubai Marina will be unlike any other place, in Dubai, the Middle East and even the world.
IBN Batutta Mall - This is the nearest mega-mall to Dubai Marina--not at the Marina itself but (across Sheikh Zayed Road) within sight of some of the towers. It is described as 6 malls in one, each having a different theme--China, India, Persia, Egypt, Tunisia, Andalusia.
