Developers in Dubai have unveiled plans to build the world’s tallest twin towers.
Emaar Properties and Dubai Holdings are proposing the project, which will be part of the 6m sq m Dubai Creek Harbour development.
The Dubai waterfront scheme will feature six residential towers and a pair of rocket-shaped buildings, which the developers say will be the world’s tallest twinned skyscrapers. The project will create 39,000 homes and 22 hotels.
The masterplan design indicates the whole scheme will be three times the size of Emaar’s previous Downtown Dubai development, which houses the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower.
An architect has not yet been named for the project.
A statement from Emaar said: “Planned on an open site, Dubai Creek Harbour will combine the city with the natural contours of the creek.
“With no legacy ties to infrastructure, this new Dubai will leapfrog many of the world’s other global cities. The masterplan is an order of magnitude larger than Downtown Dubai and will support its commercial and cultural development.”
The height of the proposed skyscrapers is still to be confirmed and a construction start date has not yet been set.
