Looks amazing in the scale model, sometimes with so many supertalls built in dubai, its easy to overlook classy designs like this.

That's the Frost Bank Tower in Austin, Texas. The one you were thinking of.

^residential towers have to be thin. they are not office towers which dont require light to get into the centre of the floor plate.
Its approx 50m wide.
great updates

***AltinD*** · April 3rd, 2007, 04:20 PM

The building is thinner, but the basement might be around 50 meters. Remember that basements of the towers in upper Marina are attached to one another.
