Nakheel’s tower to trump Burj Dubai
DUBAI – Nakheel – the company that created Dubai’s man-made Palm islands – has revealed plans for world’s tallest building.
It is not revealing the exact height or cost of the Islamic design-inspired Nakheel Tower but estimates indicate it will soar up to a height of 1,000 metres, about 200 metres above Emaar’s Burj Dubai tower.
The building will have “more than 200 floors” and be part of “a multi-billion pound development”, the company said.
The tower will stand at the junction of Sheikh Zayed Road and the Arabian canal, near Jebel Ali and at the heart of ‘New Dubai.’
Apart from the landmark structure, there will be another 40 towers, ranging in height from 20 floors to 90 floors.
The entire development will be home to more than 55,000 people and a workplace for more than 45,000.
