Notgoingtobebuiltonium. This just doesn't seem very feasible as planned, even for Dubai. They are shooting for about a 10-12 slenderness ratio on this building (which in itself is not economical (look what happened to the old Chicago Spire design)) from what I can tell by the renderings. To further complicate the economic feasibility of this, they have only all units that take up an entire floor? I suppose with fewer people they can possibly eliminate some elevators, needing less core.. but that only helps so much. I actually really like the design, but I predict this one doesn't go...
