We have worked on a proposal for the Jordan Gate project that has been on hold for around seven years. Due to the many issues that would arise had this project continued on its original track, our proposal radically changes the purpose of the towers and offers a solution that promotes sustainability and contributes positively to Amman and Jordan as a whole. We are calling it the Jordan Gate Park.

  • RANDA RABIE says:

    Love the idea and agree please let’s do it ASAP

    THANKS

  • Saad says:

    GREAT IDEA!!!

    I think the only concern we still have to make this happen is the “OWNERSHIP” of those two towers, as more than one company own that property and its hard a bit to give every company their portion of the amount invested or maybe some will ask for more to make a profit.

    I would love to see the GoJ role to solve this out.

    Good luck,
    Saad

  • Rosemary says:

    Bravo, I hope you succeed ! Wonderful idea

  • Rema says:

    Great job really appreciated , full support
    Good luck

  • Abeer Odatallah says:

    It is a great idea. So, what do you need to make it done!

  • Lara Kanan says:

    This is extraordinary, and exactly what Jordan needs. Great idea, I hope it works out.

  • This is a fantastic idea! Saad mentioned a very important point above in reference to the current owners of the building. Do we know who they are, and who has majority share? Also, I run a solar company out of Washington DC and would love to provide any support i can for the solar PV portion of the project.

  • Hashem Sabbagh says:

    Amazing initiative that would make the whole country/region proud!

    To help with the funding: Why not raise money through a crowdfunding campaign and have collective owners own a part of the project (certain floors). This would add to the community feeling of the building and ensure that the project is owned by a large number of jordanians. I bet a lot of people will support it.

  • Sameh Kanaan says:

    Congratulations to all members of the ream who came up with this idea(s). It is a first step in a mile-long journey to implement these ideas.
    A professional feasibility study addressing details and costs should be done ASAP.
    Next step is to get the government (Amman Municipality?) on board to sponsor the project. Present stake holders in the property should also come on board or agree to sell the property . The needed funds could be raised by offering a Bond to the banks and to the public. A realistic cost analysis and cash flow study and implementation schedule is also needed. We have enough professional engineering talents in Jordan to overcome any technical hurdle.
    Sign me up for this project.

  • محمد says:

    فكرة رائعه و كل ما ذكر فيها اروع

    لكن سؤالي كيف رح يطلعو المزارعين ع الطوابق و كيف رح ينزلو المزروعات

    انتم لغيتم الوسيله

  • Mohammad. says:

    Great innovative ideas. I bet with a proper business plan together with a carefully planned road show to targeted qualified investors this idea could be sold in no time Inshallah. Would love to help if needed.

  • Shams khalil says:

    Great idea ?? full support

  • Sawsan wafiq says:

    What about agrecultural economy and farmers who destroy their crops because they can’t bare great loss to cover their expenses ; would this project affect them to leave their lands and find other jobs ?

  • Moe says:

    كلام خيالي !
    – المشروع موقف عشان ما في مصاري يكمل عشان يعملو مكاتب و فندق راح يجبلهم ربح كتيرمنيح بتجي بتحكيلهم إزرعوه بندوره و خيار !!
    – تكلفة الألواح الشمسيه أكتر من تكلفة إنهاء المشروع !!
    – البرج مصنوع من زجاج معماري مش مكعبات ليجو مش فك و ركب، تكلفة الفك عاليه هاد إذا كانو بينفكو أصلان !!
    و ضيف كلفت تركيب الإضاءة
    – مقترح خيالي لتجميع المياه إلى لو جمعتها ما راح تكفي ١ بالميه من إحتياجات الزراعة.
    – إذا المبنى بتحمل وزن التراب والمزروعات ليش ما تحط هاي التكلفه بزراعة الأراضي إلى رح نجيب الرمل منها و بدل ما تعمل عماره رحتها طالعا بنص البلد روح إزرع بالجنوب أو الشمال و حط بيوت بلاستيكيه بنص هاي التكلفه و بتنفع أهالي هاديك المناطق
    كنا راح نكون مبسوطين إذا في حد بفكر لمنفعة البلد، بس مش حلو نرسم خطط خياله و ننشرها عشان نعمل دعايه لحالنا أحنا عارفين إنها مستحيل تنجح، بس شو أوف

    • John Doe says:

      Have you heard of hydroponics and hydroculture? If not, check out vertical farming. this is not completely out of reach. I do agree with you on the premise that the video promotes a happy path without any financial analysis but in all honesty, its an idea, and putting it down out of the get go makes you sound like a troll. No one said its gonna happen tomorrow nor did I see your elaborate cost analysis report. Take a chill pill dude …

  • Omar Alqam says:

    This is the best Idea, it is evolutionary. And I am offering to help make this project work for what ever it cost.

  • د. عاصم الشهابي says:

    مشروع تحويل البرجين الى حديقة الأردن الخضراء، مشروع فيه كل الأبداع والروعة والجمال ، وقابل للتنفيذ بتكلفة قليلة وسيحل مشكلة بقاء البرجين قائمين كمعلم غير حضاري لفشل التنفيذ في أدارة امشاريع الكبيرة في الأردن .
    أتمنى على القائمين على المشروع بأرساله الى جلالة مللك الأردن لأنه الشخص الوحيد الذي يمكن أتخاذ القرا الحازم بتنفيذ المشروع وباسرع وقت ممكن . وسيصبح البرجين معلما سياحا لزوار الأردن ، وسيظهر براعة أهل الأردن في تنفيذ مشاريع مبتكرة لا مثيل لها في عالمنا الحاضر. أحي القائمين على المشروع، وأتمنى لهم كل التوفيق والنجاح.

  • Ruba malkawi says:

    افكار رائعه و جميله جداً يا ريت لو اعطوا المهندسين الشباب الي زيك الثقه وتركوهم يشغلوا و ينفذوا هيك افكار لانه في الأردن احنا بحاجه للمهندسين الشباب ولأفكارهم و بتمنى انها افكاركم تنفذ

  • الياس خباز says:

    فكره رائده ولكن دونها عقبات كثيره منها على سبيل المثال :
    قابلية تطبيق جميع اﻻفكار الوارده كونها مترابطه مع بعض.
    كلفة المشروع والعائد اﻻستثماري على المساهمين.
    تمويل المشروع من من سكان المنطقه او من امانة عمان او من الحكومه او من خليط من الجميع.
    راى اصحاب المشروع اﻻصليين ا وموافقتهم ومشاركتهم.
    المده الزمنيه الﻻزمه للتنفيذ.
    قابلية تنفيذ االتعديﻻت الجوهريه على التصميم اﻻساسي
    دراسة جدوى اقتصاديه واجتماعيه لتسهيل التمويل.
    واخيرا الرجاء من القيمين على الفكره اعطاؤنا فكره اوليه عن كلفة هكذا مشروع .

  • أحمد عبدالله الدقس says:

    من الجيد تدريب العقل على التطوير…
    ولكن حسب فكرتكم ألغيتم المصاعد من أجل تدفق الهواء؟! إذا يجب عمل مصاعد بديلة من أجل خدمة مقترحاتكم خاصة وأنك ستحتاج ل مصعد ذو آحمال عالية من أجل التربة والناتج من الزراعة ناهيك عن صعود المغامرين للقفز والمزارعين وخلافه…
    انتم لم اعتقدتم أنكم تخلصتم من الزحمة اللتي سيولدها وجود مكاتب…!! مخطئين. ..فالزحمة وحجم الزائرين لهذه الفكرة أكبر بكثييير وأضف لذلك دخول كم هائل من سيارات النقل والداينا والبكب وبدلا من أن تكون منطقة جميلة هادئة ستحولها لحسبة ودوشة.
    هل فكرتم في الميزانية اللتي ستصرفها لتحويل الطوابق أماكن صالحة للزراعة؟! من عزل وتصريف ناهيك عن اﻷ حمال الزائدة بسبب التربة والمياه؟!! هل الأبراج مهيئة انشائيا”؟
    في حال العواصف كيف ستحمي التراب من أن يطاير على رؤوس من في المناطق المجاورة؟ !
    أعتقد لو فكر الملاك لتحويل اﻷبراج لشقق سكنية فخمة جدا ووسيعة جدا وبيعت لﻷثرياء والمستثمرين من الخارج ربما سيكون أفضل وأهدأ وتحول أدوار منه لمسابح وجيم وتسوق خاص وصبا ربما يكون أقرب للواقع.
    تحياتي لكم فكرتكم رائعة ولكن في زمن ومكان آخرين.

    Brilliant & innovative idea, also for once an enterprise that’s actually beneficiary to the community.

    Impressive thinking, with smart utilisation for the dead ugly space, spot on!! Full support !

    I have some ideas to share in order to make this happen… you can communicate with me on my email
    Best of luck !!

  • Issam Bashour says:

    This project shows the forward thinking of the Jordanian people. If the study shows that it is feasible; execution should be done without much delays.
    Like Petra, it will become another national emblem for Jordan.

  • Norma Talhouni says:

    Brilliant idea , so proud of your progressive thinking , can’t wait to see it happen , go for it it’ll be the most amazing thing that happened regarding architecture and progress in Jordan.

  • Ahmad Zoubi says:

    I really appreciate your idea and the fact that the young generation in Jordan started to think out of the box. However, I don’t think the suggested proposal is as ideal as explained. Specifically, I don’t think that the proposed project revenues will cover its expenses.

    I would rather us (the Jordanian people) putting pressure on the government to put pressure on the original investors of this project to either get it done or sell it for cheap to someone who can make it a successful real estate business.

  • laila Amarneh AlMuhaisen says:

    فكرة رائعة و لازم تعملوا عريضة ترفعوها لرئاسة الوزرا وامانه عمان

  • Huda Ayyoub says:

    This is brilliant .. Please do NOT lose hope on this idea ..
    Amman needs this idea badly .. keep up the hard work .. and we are all with you by word and heart ..

  • shereen says:

    A wonderful project…would work lovely on Kickstarter!

  • H. T. F says:

    Good idea but — difficult to execute.
    Maybe just as good is to turn it into a Government center containing many Ministries and other public service centers thus saving the public of driving all over our much crowded streets to get a stamp here and a signature there – but miles away.
    This way we reduce the Gigantic stress caused to the public in pursuing usual documentation. Thus can include an office for Land and Notary Public, Certifying birth docs and and driving licenses – renewing passports and issuing ID’s and tens of other departments. This way we save time and great deal of money that is burned with the Gasoline consumed while driving around. It helps avoid car accidents and repairs – in addition to time wasted waiting for Police rep to issue drawings and reports for such accidents. So many benefits to the public and the government.
    I know many will find it easy or fun to criticize this Centralizing idea – but you can’t argue with success – so many other countries adopt such arrangement, both Public and government.

  • Ahmad Abdeljawad says:

    Very Good idea .. I hope it’s come’s true good luck .. All the support

  • Brilliant innovative outstanding and very advanced Idea that matches the human mind evolution of the modern technical and scientific revolution. It is a gigantic leap towards promising future. After all it is a challenge to the Jordanian (probably universal) core of engineers.

  • daoud kuttab says:

    great idea. How can we help. Radio al Balad is happy to have you talk on this issue on air.

  • Ruweida says:

    Very creative and positive and productive. Super of you to bring this out: They are an embarrassment these two buildings.

    I was wondering, is there any way some of the left over glass could be used to assist marginalised people and family who need windows replaced in their homes? Also, won’t bus stops made of glass be hot in the summer and cold in winter?

  • Isam S. A. says:

    The Devil is in the details, and I am afraid there are lots & lots of crucial details that are not even mentioned here. The idea ‘sounds’ very good – but I am afraid once you look at its implementation, you will hit bigger walls than the current project did.
    Anyhow – good luck – I loved the idea – but without major financial support I don’t believe its doable. Great and commendable of you to address & start a nice discussion about the problem.

  • Sally Bland says:

    This is a wonderful idea and seems workable. Living about two blocks away from these monstrosities, I feel some of the anger I have harbored for a number of years melting away along with the worry about what all that congestion would have meant for our lives. I don’t have any special skills that I can imagine you need to make it a reality but would like to help if possible.

  • mohammed alqwasmi says:

    go for it full support

    Thank you soooo much for this idea, if you could tell how you would like to be supported to make this happen.

  • المعمار سامح صافي says:

    فكرة اكثر من رائعة, اتمنى لكم التوفيق, هذا المشروع اثار الاشمئزاز من اليوم الاول.
    فكرتم ستجعل من البرجين معلما حضاريا نفاخر به.
    يجب على الجميع دعمكم لانجاح الفكرة.

  • Hussain Aziz- VOICE "Vetrens Of Iraqi Concerned Engineers" says:

    Great project that needs investors of grand scale to embark on priority action of the following;1- Legal status on ownership of the towers ie Conduct due diligence 2- The proposed project to be presented as “Identification document” whereby study of alternatives to be conducted to prove the proposed project is the most viable option .3- “Definition document” to provide a proposed schedule of implementation with incidents of expenditure from inception to completion +_30%accuracy due to the huge amount of uncertainties at this stage .4- “Implementation Document ” to provide more accuracy say +_15% based on preliminary design Front End Engineering “FEED” .it is at this important stage that information is available to investors /finance banks / Governments to show any interest if any.

    Hussain Aziz I salute Hanna Salameh design team and offer my services as Project Management Consultant free of charge for this ambitious project.
