A Masterpiece by a Master Craftsman: Another Building by Santiago Calatrava

The new futuristic building in Dubai was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. He is known for his curved stations, bridges and buildings in his hometown of Valencia. Calatrava was able to assert itself among many applicants with his design for the world's tallest building. He was inspired by the Islamic tradition: "These architectural wonders combine elegance and beauty with mathematics and geometry". His last work was the Path Train Station Oculus at the One World Trade Center in New York.

Construction and Completion of the Billion Euro Project

The Dubai Creek Tower, or "The Tower" for short, is being built in a completely new part of the city. The new district will be developed by the real estate company Emaar Properties. Apartments for 470,000 people are to be built in the surrounding area. The tower will be the heart of Dubai Creek Harbour, just as the Burj Khalifa is the heart of downtown Dubai.

The Construction Progress of the Dubai Creek Tower

Preparatory work began as early as October 2016, when around 170,000 cubic meters of soil were excavated to make room for the foundation of the tower. After 145 piles had been laid in the ground at a depth of 75 m, 210,000 tons of concrete were poured to form the foundation. Finally, the foundation work was completed in May 2017. However, construction progress will be much faster than for a normal high-rise. The estimated cost of building the gigantic needle is one billion US dollars.

Inside the Dubai Creek Tower

The Tower Dubai consists mainly of a slender trunk that serves as the "backbone" of the tower. Near the top of the tower, there is an elongated oval structure. It is reminiscent of the bud of a lily. The diameter of the bud is much larger than the stem. This makes the tower majestic and makes it look more like a building than just a tower.

Luxury Residences and Viewing Platforms at Breathtaking Heights

In addition to luxury residences, offices, restaurants, apartments, and sky gardens, up to ten viewing platforms are planned. These will be designed like gardens inspired by the old Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Apart from the interior decks, there will be many smaller rotating platforms. They will resemble balconies at the edge of the deck. Half of such a platform is located outside the facade of the tower. These rotating platforms will lead visitors to an open-air room to enjoy the impressive view. This guarantees a breathtaking view of the entire Emirate of Dubai! Another highlight of the Dubai Creek Tower will be the beacon. At night an amazing beacon is to be emitted from the top of the highest building.

Dubai Creek Harbour

After completion, the Dubai Creek Tower will be the heart of the Dubai Creek Harbour. A new district is to be built around the tallest tower in the world, which will become the center of Dubai. A yacht club, a marina, and a harbour are to be built in Dubai Creek Harbour. In addition, of course, there will be numerous hotels, residential buildings and a lifestyle district with many shops. Another highlight will be Dubai Square, a retail metropolis of the future and perhaps even the world's largest mall. With a size of about six square kilometers, the new district will be larger than Downtown Dubai.

In addition to colorful exotic plants, such as Japanese cherry blossoms, the Dubai Creek Harbour is home to free-range flamingos and breathtaking water shows. We are curious to see what will happen in the new Dubai Creek Harbour!

What are the tallest buildings in the world today?

The currently tallest building in the world is also located in Dubai: the Burj Khalifa. At 828 meters, it holds the current world record. It is followed by the Shanghai Tower in China at 632 meters. However, there is another spectacle under construction that competes with The Tower Dubai. The Jeddah Tower is to be built on the west coast of Saudi Arabia by the end of 2019 and is probably going to be over 1000 meters high. Construction began in 2013 and the estimated cost is around 1.4 billion US dollars. The architect of the skyscraper is Adrian Smith. Among other things, he designed the Burj Khalifa. Dubai and Saudi Arabia are thus facing a hot race in the coming years for the new world record of the world's tallest building. We will find out who will finally win the title in two years at the latest.
