Who would actually want to work or live 2,000 feet up in this thing? All you would see in either direction is sand...and maybe the Red Sea.

Are there any issue with concrete curing given there has been a 5(+) year hiatus in construction.
I mean, I thought these Concrete type constructions needed regular pours to have one floor blend (i.e. "cure") into the next. With a 5 year gap, does this not introduce some sort of "sheer zone" into the structure? |
