The tower was initially known as The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour. Designed by Spanish-Swiss architect Santiago Calatrava, the Dubai creek tower will stand more than a KIlometer above Dubai.
The Tower is a joint venture between Emaar Properties and Dubai Holding, the investment vehicle of the emirate’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum.
Upon completion, it will become the tallest tower in the world, surpassing the Tokyo Skytree.
Set to take the record of the world’s tallest building, Dubai Creek Tower will be the centrepiece of a brand-new, sprawling residential and retail development – Dubai Creek Harbour.

The final height of the tower will not be announced until its completion,but speculation is that the tower will stand near 1300m tall. Its construction cost is estimated at $1BN

Up to 16,000t of steel reinforcement, twice the weight of Eiffel Tower, has also placed for the tower.
