Developer Nakheel in Dubai, UAE has launched a multi-billion dollar blue-print to build the world's tallest tower, using state-of-the-art architectural design, technology and construction equipment amidst the plunging global financial crisis.
The Nakheel tower, at the centre of the Nakheel port and harbour complex, is expected to be more than 1000 metres or a 1 kilometre high. To date, the world's tallest building is the Burj Dubai at 818m. Nakheel's project will have more than 200 floors and 150 lifts. It will provide homes and offices for 100,000 people. It is predicted that it will use 1,500 units of heavy construction equipment and that 30,000 workers would be involved in its construction.
Chris O'Donnell, Nakeel's Australian chief executive commented: "At more than a kilometre high this is an unbelievably ground-breaking design."
