The biggest real estate developer in Dubai has disclosed intentions to challenge one of its own largest projects.
Arabian Business reports claim that Emaar plans to construct a massive structure that will be able to compete with the Burj Khalifa in height.
When completed, the tower will surpass current planned projects like the Burj Azizi to become the second-tallest building in the world.
When completed, the 725-meter Burj Azizi will stand just over 100 meters short of the 828-meter Burj Khalifa on Sheikh Zayed Road.
Four very intriguing and very different designs have been considered, including a glass-tube sculpture, a rocket-shaped tower, and a design that uses gothic spires, even though the exact height and location have not yet been disclosed.
Although there are plans for a mega tower in the works for the Dubai Creek project, or possibly near the Burj Khalifa, are potential locations.
The Burj Khalifa was supposed to be eclipsed by the tower planned for Dubai Creek, but these plans have since been lowered. Whether the tall tower being discussed today is the same as the Dubai Creek Tower or not is unknown at this time.
Regarding height, rumors have it that it is nearly as tall as the tallest building in the world at the moment. Which is 828m, to spare you a Google search.
Naturally, the super-tower would be a high-end project with a concentration on workspaces, lodging, and recreational spaces. It is also stated that the design incorporates extensive AI integration.
Due to Emaar’s prior experience, a source close to the project told Arabian Business that they believe they can succeed again.
The source said: “We are talking about the kind of design and construction that nobody in the world will come close to doing, let alone the height of this building.
“This tower would be the biggest thing built not just in Dubai but the world since the Burj Khalifa. We have done it once, so we know better than anyone how to do it twice.”
