Dubai Starts Building New World’s Tallest Tower, And It Will Take Your Breath Away
What does the country with the tallest building in the world do? It builds an even taller one! Dubai already boasts the magnificent Burj Khalifa, but construction has just started on The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour. When it’s completed in 2020 it’ll be the new tallest building in the world.
There’s no saying how big it’s going to be yet, but it’ll be taller than 2,700ft (828 metres), which is the height of the Burj Khalifa. Construction is going to cost around $1 billion and the building is scheduled to be completed in time for the Expo 2020 trade fair, which Dubai will be hosting. The architect behind the project is Santiago Calatrava Valls, the man responsible for the World Trade Center PATH Station, and when it’s finished the tower will have a 360 degree observation deck providing breathtaking panoramic views of the city.

Share on Facebookit's just stupid to waste all their money for something that big only to let the world know they're there. it's like when a guy buy a big a*s car to show off.
Showing off is important if it want to attract tourists. It works at least.

I thought they were broke, they should finish the other projects they havent done yet and now think about another one. I hope no ones got fool by this. BTW that hotel was on fire last year. Good luck with that
And no. They're not broke; they never claimed that. And not a single project has been let go without being gracefully and successfully finished. Give me one example of a project that hasn't been finished. Just one. No? I din't think so. And about that hotel, sooooo many accidents, even worse than this one, happen in America like what? Every week? And you go and talk about this one single accident that happened because of a hotel guest, now that's just pathetic. It's like you've been waiting behind your computer screen waiting for an accident like this to happen just so you can find something to mock about them while your own country has hundreds of its own that it has been just ignoring. Well guess what, that hotel is more luxurious than ever. BTW, that Donald Trump guy. Good luck with that.

Excited to see this tower when it’s done. Reminds me of the Eiffel Tower. Very cool project!
If you want to impress us – do something that preserves nature instead of destroying it.
why?? why is this more important than syria and other countries going through war, I think the $1 Billion will be better spent helping other people
The way you think truly stuns me. Like honestly. Hold on, Dubai spent billions of Dollars aiding countries with war? But they wanted to spend one billion Dollars on an iconic building to help improve their country? I know, they're such dickheads for not spending EVERY SINGLE F*****G PENNY they make to help countries going through war! They already give so much. . . Giving to these countries in need doesn't mean neglecting your own!

For something this beautiful, you would think they would have come up with a more original name...
it’s a business! Why every people say they shoul use that money to help other ppl? Is like saying that Samsung (who spends BILLIONS every year to promote its phones) should instead use that money to help others (or Apple, or any other big compay). Or saying thay the world shoult not waste billions in the ISS or the LHC. Well, that last two actually is people’s money not company’s money, makes more sense.
I understand they want to build something to bring tourists but this seems like a big waste of money when it could be spent to help others.
Most aid end up enriching the corrupt African leaders and seldom reach the intended

I think it is a beautiful display of imagination and technology. In all the world there are inequities throughout history. But it is the reality of life on earth.
