Photos of Dubai’s iPod-inspired ‘iPad’ residental tower

Last Friday we covered the story of an iPod-inspired resdiental tower planned for Dubai. SkyscraperCity has posted photos of a large model of the “iPad” tower.

“Real estate developer Omniyat Properties is planning to launch projects worth more than Dh3 billion in 2007, starting with a tower inspired by Apple’s iPod MP3 player,” Robert Ditcham reports for Gulfnews.

“The 23-storey building, which is scheduled to bring more than 200 units onto the market in 2009, was designed by Hong Kong-based architects James Law Cybertecture International,” Ditcham reports. “The tower will sit atop a docking station angled at six degrees to give the exact look.”

  1. iMat: ” …since the petrolium reserves are settled to run out within the next 40 years, it’s not too damn smart… “

    what? you accusing a bunch of business people of being shortsighted? no, surely not.

    Besides we’ve got Stab the Man telling us there’s nothing to worry about, so go back to sleep and pleasant dreams.

    MW: “hear” the sarcasm

  2. “but all their money come from petrolium”

    Untrue.

    Dubai is quite different from the other members of the UAE.
    Revenues from oil account for ~6% of its GDP.

    The majority of Dubai’s revenues (~90%) are from the Jebel Ali Free Zone (shipping and tax incentives for developers) and also from tourism.

  3. Thank you, it’s very amazing information it might be very polite for students. For example last year when I had a difficult of time at the end of semester with a everlasting flow of academic assignments and drill, I had a brilliant idea to buy it somewhere and than use plagiarism checker. I was so crippled that I did not care for what can appear when my academic work was written by different person. To my awesome surprise, research paper was deserving the price I paid for it. I was so happy with the quality and now everytime i use this service.
