The image captures a nighttime scene of the Beach Tower under construction as seen from the 19th floor of the nearby Somerset West Bay hotel. The photograph is divided vertically by the tower's side, with the left side displaying the building and the right showing a section of road.
Beach Tower is situated on Doha's Corniche waterfront promenade, near the Sheraton Grand Hotel, in Doha's Al Waab district. It was built by a joint venture between Qatari Diar Real Estate Company (QDREC) and United Arab Emirates-based developer Eagle Hills Enterprises for an estimated $500 million.
The tower is located on 1.5 acres of prime waterfront land along the Corniche, facing the Arabian Gulf. The building's design features 30 floors above ground, with two basement levels. The project was led by Qatari architect and urban designer Hani Rashid and his firm Asymptote Architecture.
The tower is expected to become one of Doha's most recognizable landmarks upon completion. – AI vision
