Dubai plans 1km-high tower

6 October, 2008

By Phil Clark in Dubai

Developer Nakheel this weekend revealed plans for a 1km-high tower in the centre of Dubai, set to eclipse the world’s current tallest tower, the Burj Dubai.

The Nakheel Tower will form part of a 270ha development called New Dubai, which is expected to take a decade to build and cost £21billion.
The scheme, in the Jebel Ali area of Dubai, is designed by US architect Woods Bagot.

Nakheel said that instead of a single core the skyscraper would have four cores "inspired by Islamic patterns".
Speaking to the Middle East press, Nakheel chief executive Chris O’Donnell claimed the global credit crisis would not affect plans for the tower. He said funds for the scheme would come from a combination of "pre-sales of land in and around the tower, and then project funding".

The announcement came a day before the start of the Cityscape 2008 event in Dubai, the Middle East equivalent of the Mipim property fair. The event is expected to attract 60,000 visitors from 150 countries and will include 1,500 exhibitors.

Estes "clientes" do dubai, nunca estão satisfeitos. Tem que gastar o seu dinheiro em tudo e mais alguma coisa. Criar uma torre com 1km de altura, parece-me a ideia mais utopica que ja vi. Ainda nem acabaram a outra, ja tao a planear uma nova. Acho que estão a cair na velha questao da construção rápida e desenfreada!

Gostava de saber como está o mercado imobiliário lá... será que há clientes para metade?...

Acredito que sim, o dinheiro atraí as pessoas, e dinheiro é o que não falta nesses países... Gostava de saber como se sentem as pessoas desses países do petróleo a olhar para a crise financeira no ocidente e Japão...

DADOS

The Nakheel Tower

• The Nakheel Tower will be more than a kilometre high

• It will have over 200 floors
