In today’s video, we’re going to introduce Why Dubai Creek Tower May Never be Completed… (Omicron!?) 2022

Burj Khalifa has the potential to attract tourism and consequently an alternative economical bloom. If we talk about Burj Khalifa it brought around 20 million visitors to Dubai and those visitors spent around $30 billion on the city each year.

Dubai did not stop after making the tallest building in the world as the magnificent city kept looking for opportunities that could potentially take the regime of building megastructures to a whole new level. These efforts gave birth to two major ideas, i.e., Dubai Creek. The assessed height of Dubai Creek will be around 928 – 1300 meters as the developer Emaar opted for keeping the exact height confidential. Located 8 kilometres east of Burj Khalifa, the finishing cost of this tower will be around $1 billion.

Even with such a mammoth investment, Dubai Creek Tower was never going to be perceived as the World’s Tallest skyscraper, because as indicated by The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) which a structure is considered a building only if at least fifty percent of its height is habitable, for Dubai Creek Tower, less than 30 percent of height will have habitable floors since the lower 70% of the tower will be for structural integrity and elevators.

Dubai Creek as per its design philosophy will emit a ‘beacon of light’ from its peak at night. At the top, there will be an oval-shaped bud, housing ten observation decks decorated like gardens inspired by the ancient Hanging Gardens of Babylon, special rotating balconies that resemble balconies set at the margin of the deck, half of such a platform is outside the façade of the tower. The most distinctive feature of Dubai Creek Tower will be its cable arrays, which were inspired by the ribbing of lily leaves. These cables are attached to a central reinforced concrete core.

Hence, these cables, apart from serving as garnish items will also be supporting the tower and they will have LEDs for scintillating light shows at night time. The Dubai Creek Tower is insanely tall, but it will only have 20 inhabitable floors and on these floors, there will be hotels, restaurants, and even residential areas. Below the tower, there will be a large plaza that will offer mesmerizing views of the mega tall structure. The tower is supposed to resemble a minaret which has a lot of significance in Muslim architecture and culture.

Around the same time when the construction process on Jeddah Tower which was being built in Jeddah Saudi Arabia halted due to corruption charges on the owners of the companies behind that tower, work also stopped at Dubai Creek Tower, right after its foundations were completed and the tower was only formally put on hold in 2020 as Dubai went into lockdown. Bear in mind that the tower was supposed to be completed before Dubai Expo 2020 and it’s writing on the wall that the dates were way too ambitious.

As of December 7, 2020, the suspension of construction was declared indefinitely until the government allows work to resume once the pandemic is under control. Fun fact, the foundations were laid way before the excepted date. Recent years have also seen Dubai’s property market waiver – and ongoing fallout from the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and a drop in the price of oil has left the city with an oversupply of homes and offices. The added impact of the pandemic and the subsequent global economic downturn may ultimately prove too much for the tower to proceed. Despite the context, EMAAR Properties strongly resisted all the wishy-washy and insisted that the tower will be completed in 2022. This might sound a bit ambitious again, but it could be possible, as the tower is relatively simple to construct. Until then, plans for Dubai Creek Tower sit waiting, ready in case any city challenges Dubai for the title of world’s tallest structure.
