Flying villas and twirling towers
The problem with yet-another-world-first-unbelievable project in Dubai is that after a while, one stops caring whether they are financially unviable, unfeasible engineering-wise, pointless, or just a complete hoax.
Rotating City is the latest project to join the ludiocrity. It features twenty towers with revolving floors, as well as floating and "flying" villas:
"The whole thing rotates," said the source. "You will be able to acquire villas, apartments, floating villas on water, [and] flying villas [that] elevate in the air. So you have the accessibility to a villa that not only rotates on ground, but it gives you up to a 15 metre to 20 metre up in-the-air elevation. It’s a mind-blowing project."
Doubtless it is, given that the only people who would choose to live in houses that spin around and move up and down are those with their brains blown out.

That’s just downright stupid!! I haven’t heard of this one yet. Where did you get this from? How is such a thing ever going to be financially viable?
Engineering-wise, it is possible, but at a very high price. This place is turning out to be like a “sheikh’s fantasy island” – sigh !! … when will they learn.
I would rather live in a freehold villa that falls apart after being built on the cheap than a flying villa that falls out the sky or a tower block that spins out of control.
Bahahaha.. I had to read it from ITP Business to believe it. Okay, no, I don't believe it.
Why does this sound like a publicity stunt for DubaiLand to get some extra attention? I highly doubt that this project is for real.
If it is, then... I'll be damned!
at first i used to think that the people that thought up these ideas spent all day playing sim city.
now i think they do the chronic.
Heh.. well, I always told people that ruling Dubai is like playing SimCity with the money cheat ;)
We don't know they're English, German and American - they may just as well be French, Italian and Canadian.
Most likely in this case they're Martian, Neptunian and Con-Merchantian.
You beat me to it. I felt compelled to blog about this absurd piece of news as well: http://grainofsandormoundofsnow.blogspot.com/
Are there companies that manufacture pills for vertigo? Might be a good time to expand my stock portfolio. Imagine the demand from an entire "city" in the sky.
Words fail me.
Dubai has offically jumped the shark.
Well, this certainly seems to be a hoax. Just like bubble city, chess city and the golden dome, it's nothing more than a vision probably by a crazy architect.
As dave banana said, a lot of people will believe this as they'll think "only in Dubai".
Waiting for Harry Potter City!!!!
I think this is just bull Sh*t.
it doesnt exsist, it wont happen.
The same goes to bubble city or whatever thats called.
I think its a great idea! very bold and innovative...sounds like leonardo da vinci the 2nd in the making...it's crazy but hey it's fun...I cant wait to see it...i wntto be the first feline on it!
hahaha. i wonder if the electricity goes blackout again while those flying villas are up in the air...
Have you seen http://www.dubailand.ae/? I don't know which is my favourite: the masssive glass dome over the multiple ski slopes with what looks like a full-sized arena in the centre, or the collection of multiple sport stadiums (all full of people, and yet no sign of any cars parked).
have you ever left like freezing yourself for like 50 years and come back in 2055 and see what Dubai is like? I don't think it would be fun to wait that long and be in Dubai when you are 76..
please post your thoughts and experiences of Dubai real estate at http://dubaipropertiesusa.blogspot.com
