Sights of Dubai - by Craig Hill

Dubai: Nakheel Tower and Harbour

July 29th 2007 00:00
The new Nakheel Tower structure will cover 270 hectares, house 55,000 people, provide a workplace for 45,000 and have 10,000 car parks. It will also attract millions of tourist every year, which is what Dubai is all about these days.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem said that “Nakheel Harbour & Tower is located in the heart of ‘new Dubai’, where we have focused on creating a true community, a location for living, working, relaxing and entertaining, for art and culture. All of this is concentrated in one area.” Sultan bin Sulayem, recognised as Dubai's leading businessman, is executive chairman of Dubai’s Ports, Customs & Free Zone Corporation (PCFZ); chairman of Tejari.com, a B2B marketplace; and chairman of the recently established property development company Nakheel. Nakheel is developing the entire complex.

“There is nothing like it in Dubai,” said Sultan bin Sulayem. “With Islamic influences governing its design, Nakheel Tower has been able to reach its height of more than a kilometre. This inspired approach has enabled us to achieve a number of amazing feats of engineering, for example the Tower will be the world’s tallest concrete structure,” added Sultan bin Sulayem, also Chairman of Dubai World.
