West Village Towers | 149.95m | 42s | Cidex Group | NORR Dubai Yahya Jan

does anyone know the exact number of stories the 150m tower is?

If each floor will be roughly 4 meters including the interfloor height, which is reasonable, it should be around 35-37 floors

 

[Surrealplaces]

IIRC, it was 37 floors.

Your conclusion is reasonable (crown + commercial space) but, how you got there is wrong. 1 out of 500 residential towers may have 4 metres per floor. You rarely have devoted mechanical space as with office towers above or below the suspended concrete slab. The floor to floor height is about 8 inches more than the ceiling height in the unit.

Thanks for pointing that out! I actually had no idea that 4 meters is that rare for office towers, though I did know it's not the standard. Either way, this will be a majestically tall structure upon completion. It always blows my mind how much the city changes every year.

I can confirm it's 42 levels, including mechanical.

 

[Surrealplaces]

One mechanical level?

You seem to have the inside scoop! Are you working on the project?

The way they are moving on it, looks like it should top out in a week

Nope, but I've seen the drawings

Does the tower still have the angled crown? Someone had mentioned a while back that the design had changed a bit.

Currently, there appears to be 16 of 42 floors completed so they still have more than half of the project to finish.

Was being sarcastic about how fast this thing is flying up. Don't know if I have seen a tower rise faster than this in Calgary.

The Angled crown was still there the last time I saw it, they would need a new DP to change that at this stage. It's the glass that's going to look bad, there's going to be a lot of spandrel...
