1/4/24, 11:02 AM UAE megaprojects: From world's tallest towers to manmade islands, 20 projects on the way
Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences aims to be the tallest residential tower in the world when it’s
completed in 2026.

With more than 112 storeys, the Business Bay tower’s design is the work of Jacob Arabo, the founder
of watchmaker Jacob & Co and a renowned diamond designer.

According to its website, the tower will have amenities such as an infinity pool overlooking the Dubai
skyline, a spa, a gymnasium and a concierge team for day care, bodyguard, chauffeur and private
chef services.

Dubai Creek Tower

Dubai Creek Tower, which was due to be 100 metres taller than the Burj Khalifa, is being redesigned,
Emaar Properties' founder Mohamed Alabbar said in August.

The cable-tied tower, designed by the Spanish-Swiss architect Santiago Calatrava, was due to be
located in the centre of the Dubai Creek Harbour development.

The new plan is due to be unveiled later this year, with construction to be completed in 2025.

Al Habtoor Tower

Construction began last summer on one of the more recent additions to the megaprojects list.

Located off Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Habtoor Tower is expected to stand 345 metres tall upon
completion.

The $3 billion residential building will be 81 floors high and have more than 1,700 units when it is
completed by the third quarter of 2026.
