EIGHT MORE HIGH-RISE TOWERS FOR DUBAI SKYLINE

Dubai Municipality has issued permits to build eight high-rise towers in Dubai at a total cost of AED3.5 billion and with a total built-up area of 11.3 million square feet.

Of these, five will be in Dubai Marina with the tallest being a 100-story tower and the smallest being a 37-story tower. Two towers will be coming up along the Sheikh Zayed Road, the first one with a height of 49 stories and the second one with 70 stories.

Dubailand will have an Auto Mall complex with an office tower as tall as 38 stories and a three-story cars showroom. This will be located in the Dubai Sports City.

While licensing high-rise towers, the civic body usually considers innovations in designs and efficiency of the buildings in general. This is keeping in mind the excellent architectural designs Dubai's buildings are known for and in line with the vision of the Building Department at Dubai Municipality to turn “our buildings into a dream of the world.“
