Does the height suggest it will be over looking something 'large'?

It came from Malec, so I think it must have some credibility. In fact Naz also appears to back it.

This is just something I've been working on over the past few days. I know it's not great but it's nowhere near finished. I have a week to burn so I decided to be a wannabe architect and make my own proposal for the “unknown emaar development” in front of the torch, etc.

What you’re probably gonna end up with is another boring 4-tower complex that looks the same as about 10 others around the city so instead I said hey, why not stack the res towers on top of each other and free up the land for some much needed public space. The tower starts off fairly wide on one side but narrow on the other so that there’s a good bit of breathing space between it and the torch / marina heights. At the bottom the best views are obviously towards the marina but at the top the best are probably looking at palm jumeirah so I wanted the tower to twist slightly so that at the top it faces the palm. Don’t know if I’ll do this though, will have to try it out.

I still have to work out what to do with the public space. I don’t want just a patch of green but there should be stuff there that makes people want to use it. Still loads and loads of work to do but I like it . Any suggestions?

Looks good in the closeup render

Edit: You should add it to the SSP diagrams. They have a fantasy category, but Dubai doesn't have much.

I think you should have a 7 star hotel and shopping / entertainment complex on the emaar plot. Something like the nakheel promenade hotel but have it hanging over the water maybe at the top.
