Definitely a Top 3 World's Tallest Residential contender. No doubt.

FM 2258 · April 21st, 2006, 05:29 PM

1296 feet? I mean, this is taller than the tallest building in Los Angeles or Houston and it's just one of the many that are going up.

Naz UK · April 21st, 2006, 05:33 PM

Yes. There's a new Manhattan in town. Watch this space...Yr 2009-2010

Well if their putting in a swimming pool every other floor and you need to hold the weight, also all the pluming and pumps.

For the mean time we will keep our tallest residential building in the world record here in AUS with Q1. I know it won't last long, but hey AUS don't get many good buildings

Biakko · April 23rd, 2006, 12:46 PM

Why the hell do they need 57 swimming pools ?

dubaiflo · April 21st, 2006, 06:35 PM

no they are pretty fast , compare to princess for example.

Btw this one will probably only the 2nd world's tallest Res since Princess Tower, also in Dubai Marina is now confirmed at 107F + huge roof feature.

Erebus555 · April 21st, 2006, 08:00 PM

That tower is amazing. I can see a slight resemblance to the that skyscraper in Shanghai.

I'm sure I saw a small part of the world in one of them designs.

CrazyCanuck · April 21st, 2006, 09:19 PM

Excavation seems to be taking forever. Nice tower btw.

Just imagine the sheer weight movement when there's high winds with all that water. Scares the hell out of me!
Finger's crossed the engineers know what they're doing.

TowerPower · April 22nd, 2006, 05:21 AM

The princess entered the Kremlin where she pleaded with great passion for the liberation of Iran, her motherland. Impressed by her courage, Stalin became all smiles.
