Dubai Towers Dubai is a four tower complex proposed in the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The developer, Sama Dubai, intends this to form the centrepiece of The Lagoons, a megaproject located on Dubai Creek which will consist of seven islands. The towers have between 57 to 94 stories[2] and although the heights are not known, it is believed the tallest will top 400 metres (1,310 ft) while two others will rise beyond 300 metres (980 ft).[citation needed]
Design
Designed by TVS , these towers are intended to create a dramatic new landmark for Dubai. Their design represents the movement of candlelight and according to Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates, this is supposed to symbolise hope, harmony, growth and opportunity. [3] They will contain offices, apartments, hotel rooms, retail, entertainment, gymnasiums, health spas and a variety of other services.
Construction status
The Dubai Towers Dubai, like the rest of The Lagoons, is currently thought to be on hold.[4]
