The Dubai Marina is a property development roughly halfway between the city centre and the industrial free zone at Jebel Ali, and is right now the most visible of Dubai’s freehold boom. There are probably a hundred skyscrapers — all residential or hotel buildings — in only a few square kilometres (parking and traffic will be an utter nightmare when this is all complete, mark my words) with an artificial waterway running through it. Only around a third of the buildings are done but because it’s fully accessible to the public you can get some great contruction photos. Two more after the jump.
