Dubai will become city of supertowers
By Saifur Rahman, Business Editor - Published: May 04, 2008, 00:12
Dubai: The city will have the largest number of supertowers - buildings that rise more than 100 habitable floors -
as five more will be added to the seven under development, Gulf News has learnt.
The new supertowers are part of a cluster of 11 projects worth Dh25 billion to be built in a major master-planned development that will be announced in October.
"
All five supertowers will be about 600 metres tall - rising more than 100 floors. These are some of the most unique projects incorporating the latest building technologies and consuming up to 60 per cent less energy," Adrian Smith, who designed Burj Dubai - currently the world's tallest tower - told Gulf News in an exclusive interview.
