World’s Tallest Twin Towers Planned for Dubai
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates—Dubai is planning to build the world’s tallest twin towers. Local developers Emaar Properties plan the towers to be the centerpieces of a vast leisure and residential area that will be three times bigger than Dubai’s existing Downtown, which includes the world’s tallest building, the 829.8 m (2,722 ft) tall Burj Khalifa. The planned Dubai Creek Harbour development and tourist attraction will include 39,000 homes, as well as 22 hotels, multiple retail outlets, fountains and various other tourist attractions. Conceptual renderings of the towers show them shaped like torpedoes and situated in the center of the development. The two buildings are planned to exceed 600 m (1,968 ft) each. However, no further details have been announced. The current tallest twin towers are the 452 m (1,483 ft) Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
