Dubai Creek Tower is an observation tower on hold located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, at a preliminary cost
of AED 3.67 billion (US$1 billion) and is expected to be completed by 2022.
The tower was initially known as The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour. Designed by Spanish-Swiss architect Santiago Calatrava, the Dubai creek tower will stand more than a KIlometer above Dubai.
The Tower is a joint venture between Emaar Properties and Dubai Holding, the investment vehicle of the emirate’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum.
Upon completion, it will become the tallest tower in the world, surpassing the Tokyo Skytree.
Set to take the record of the world's tallest building, Dubai Creek Tower will be the centrepiece of a brand-new, sprawling residential and retail development - Dubai Creek Harbour.
The final height of the tower will not be announced until its completion,but speculation is that the tower will stand near 1300m tall. Its construction cost is estimated at $1BN
Dubai creek tower will feature lush sky gardens, and the world's highest observation deck. The observation deck offers rotating balconies with 360 degree views of the city and beyond. Hotels, restaurants and several residences will occupy the 20 usable floors.
Preparation works began in october 2016, 170,000 cubic meters of soil were excavated for the foundation. After that 145 piles were laid and inserted into the bottom at 75m deep, 210 thousand tonnes of concrete was poured to form the foundation.
Up to 16,000t of steel reinforcement, twice the weight of Eiffel Tower, has also placed for the tower.
Completion was set for 2020. However, in late 2018 construction halted as the tower was indefinitely put on hold.
