Burj Dubai gets a rival

Dubai: Burj Dubai, which is on its way to becoming the tallest tower in the world, could be dwarfed by another Dubai landmark, Al Burj, before its completion in 2008, officials told a Meed Projects conference on Tuesday.

"With more than 700 metres in height and more than 160 floors, Burj Dubai will be the tallest tower in the world," Abdullah Lahej, Emaar Properties director of construction, told delegates at the second Major Project Developments in Dubai conference, organised by Meed Projects, an online projects tracker. "We are now pouring concrete for the 17th floor."

Though it is unclear as to which Burj will eventually dwarf the other, one thing is pretty clear: Dubai will have the two tallest towers.

Following the launch of Burj Dubai, Nakheel, a Dubai-based property developer, last year announced Al Burj, which was initially planned to be developed on the Palm Jumeirah's trunk, where the Palm Trump Hotel and Tower is being planned.

Al Burj has been presented to General Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Minister of Defence.

The location of Al Burj was later shifted to Dubai Waterfront the world's largest man-made waterfront development. However, its height remained a secret until yesterday as Nakheel did not want the public to speculate on it.

"At the moment, I can only say that Al Burj will be at least 700 metres tall and one of the tallest towers in the world," Robert Lee, Nakheel's director for development, said, avoiding further queries on its actual height, or if it would challenge Burj Dubai.

"Al Burj will be a mixed-use project with a combination of offices and residences. We are currently working on its design."

Construction officials are certain that it will be higher than Burj Dubai.

"I can't imagine anyone spending so much money to raise it up to 700 metres and not make it the tallest tower. It would be foolish of any developer not to stretch further to make it the tallest one in the world," said an official of a large contracting company.

"I hear, Nakheel is looking to stretch Al Burj to around one kilometres in height, that is 1,000 metres," said a participant.

Nakheel, owned by Dubai Government, and Emaar, a listed company, which is 32.5 per cent owned by the government, are two of the three entities mandated by the government to offer properties on a freehold basis to expatriates.

Together with Dubai Holding, the government's investment arm, they are rapidly transforming the emirate.

최소높이 700m로 계획하고 있는것 같습니다..

오일달러 무섭네 ..덜덜덜~~

환상적인 도시를 만들어서 석유 고갈되면 관광수입으로 돈 벌려는 것 같군요. 아랍에미리트 현재 국민소득 17,000달러의 부국인데 석유 고갈되도 이를 유지할 수 있을지 의문입니다. 그런데 만일 저거 무너지면 엄청난 참사가 일어나겠군요. 생각만 해도 끔찍하네요. >_<;;

[나이스닭]

충분히 승산이 있지요. 앞으로도 50년 이상 사용할수 있는 석유를 가지고 있는데다가 개발면적과 개발활용도를 보면 100%로 관광용입니다. 석유고갈차원에서 미리 손을 쓰는것이고 관광지로도 매우 빼어난 장관을 보여주기 때문에 이를 대비해 건설하는거겠지요.

현재 두바이는 석유고갈에 대비해서 우리나라를 벤치마킹해서 최첨단산업+연구시설을 많이 만들고 또한 최고급인력을 유치하고 그외 가공무역이라든지 하는것들을 해서 미래를 계획하고있다고합니다 ^^

거대호수도 만들고 담수플랜트도 만들어서 물걱정을 대비했고.. 하여간 앞으로 싱가폴처럼 될것같은 도시죠..

[신민]

두바이의 미래는 밝습니다...이미 관광산업에서 상당한 수익을 올리고 있는 걸로 알고 있습니다. 올해엔 사막에다 실내스키장까지 만들고.. 세계 부유층을 끌어들여서 고급주택단지를 만들고.. 이미 유럽이나 미주지역에선 두바이가 상당히 구미당기는 도시로 소문이 나고 있다고 해요..
