Plans for record breaking Twin Towers revealed in Dubai
Emaar Properties and Dubai Holdings have announced plans to build “the tallest twin towers in the world” as part of a 2.3sq m (6sq km) mega development in the Dubai Creek Harbour district, UAE.
The development will encompass the two towers – which will have to stand higher than 88 storeys to beat Kuala Lumpur’s current record – and six other luxury residential towers, each 40 storeys tall.
As well as residential structures, the entire site has been masterplanned to include an integrated transport system, green open parks and a sustainable ecosystem allowing residents to experience a ‘new aspirational lifestyle’.
Dubai Creek Harbour at the Lagoons will also offer facilities such as a retail precinct, bespoke luxury hospitality offering, a yacht club, cultural amenities, educational facilities and other unnanounced leisure choices.
“Dubai Creek Harbour by The Lagoons is a historic development that aligns with the future goals of our city," said Ahmad Bin Byat, chief executive officer of Dubai Holding.
The entire site is modelled around the current waterfront and all of the new components will be based around open green spaces, boulevards and various central parks whilst maintaining the Harbour itself as a focus.
