United Tower is the best tower ever proposed for Dubai (IMHO). There's a new one for Kuwait which reminds me of it. But it does look like this rough render might turn out to be United.

Excuse my ignorance in interpreting images, but what's that circular building?

^ Exibition Center's extension, where now is the open parking lot. Maybe it will be also a parking lot, or a big conference hall.

Where is Dubai Bank???? There's a highrise in that spot.

Wait a sec, there's a Dubai Metro station right in front of that circular building, so it must be a conference hall.

i like the look of landmark tower and the round conference centre, which will be the worlds most technologically advanced conference centre and also the fact that those ugly buildings and villas that are part of the DWTC complex will be destroyed.

Beeing a fan of Dubai is the most pleasant thing in the world.

For the people who don`t know where:
It`s the area between the WTC and the Emirates Towers.
