Dubai's Dynamic Tower Receives More Than 600 Reservation Requests

Dynamic Tower.

Following the opening of the reservations list for the world's first Dynamic Tower in Dubai on June 24, more than 600 requests have been submitted for residential apartments, Rotating Tower Dubai Development has announced.

This revolutionary building, designed by the Florentine architect David Fisher, was first announced at a press conference held in New York City less than three weeks ago.

Over 140 reservation requests have arrived from the United States, followed by England (94) and Australia (57), as well as Italy, China, New Zealand, and other countries throughout the world.

More than 50 reservations were submitted specifically for the Dynamic Tower's luxury villas, with prices starting at 20 million Euros (US $30 million). New requests continue to be submitted for all types of apartments.

In Dubai, the Dynamic Tower will have 80 floors and be 420 meters (1,380 feet ) tall. Luxury apartments will range in size from 124 square meters (1,330 square feet), to Villas of 1,200 square meters (12,900 square feet).

The first 20 floors will be an office building, floors 21 to 35 a six-star hotel, floors 36 through 70 will be residential apartments, and the top 10 floors will be full-floor luxury villas. Each villa will offer 360-degree views, as well as have its own swimming pool facing a continuously changing view of the sea and the city, a sauna, home theatre, and a parking space at the entrance.

David Fisher, the architect behind the Dynamic Tower, said: "The Dynamic Tower is introducing a fourth dimension to architecture. Using independently rotating floors, the building's shape evolves with time, changing direction from sunrise to sunset to reflect modern dynamic living and creating a unique, evolving architectural landmark."

The Dynamic Tower is the first skyscraper to be constructed entirely in a factory from prefabricated parts, using the Fisher Method. This will reduce construction time by over 30 %.

The Fisher Method will require only 600 people in the assembly factory and 80 technicians on-site, instead of the usual 2,000 workers expected for a job of the same size. Each floor of the building can be completed in seven days, and construction is scheduled to be completed in 2010.

This is the first expression of Dynamic Architecture and is completely green, self-powered by wind. It will generate electricity for itself as well as other buildings nearby, making it the first self-powered skyscraper.

It achieves this with wind turbines fitted between each rotating floor and photovoltaic cells placed on the roof of each rotating floor. Energy will also be saved during construction.

The Dubai Dynamic Tower is being developed by Rotating Tower Dubai Development Ltd, headed by the Dynamic Group.
