So sad......
Posted by A.L.S at 10:00 UAE time
It is so sad to read about an even higher Tower to glamourise this City. If Dubai thinks it is so great how come it cannot even look at the people struggling in this city. People are being evicted out of their homes, men are sleeping in their cars, and yet there is enough money to build a tower that at the end is not needed! Prioritise!!!!

Don't you get it???

Doesn't anyone beside me see what this really is? This great spin machine has all along been playing on an ancient common falacy: affirming the consequent, which goes as this: If A leads to B is a fact, then if B then there must be A. In other words, the fact is that if there is demand then there will be building. But the reverse does not necessarily hold, especially not in a market that lacks transparency and is flood with excess liquidity.
This is just another desparate attempt by the spin doctors to save their inevitible demise...but it seems the stock market is not falling for it.

Superlatives
Posted by Cholo Jopson at 12:27 UAE time
With the superlatives coming before and after the name of Dubai, the city would soon earn the world's city of the odds.

Ambitions
Posted by Saeed Ali at 10:17 UAE time
In a time of global turmoil, the Gulf is showing their courage and ambition by such projects. This proves the slowdown will simply not hit here; people should be more optimistic, and support such projects and not bring religion into the discussion as Hussain is doing. Dubai will become the most prosperous city in the history of mankind so its taking cheap shots by trying to bring Islam into it.

Nakheel Tower
Posted by Marcus at 09:54 UAE time
Arabian Business reporters uncovered Nakheel's hidden competitive asset - time compression. Twice (once in the article and once in a caption in the picture series of the new tower) do reporters tell us that the 900m tower, not yet started, will be completed in early 2009... and it will take 10 years to complete. Either this is magic, or we cannot trust this news.
Editor's note: The 900m tower is Emaar's Burj Dubai not the new project announced by Nakheel.

How about most modest
Posted by Hussain at 09:14 UAE time
Aren't we satisfied yet with the amount of attention our region is getting for the right or the wrong reasons. Biggest, tallest, widest, richest, is this what is required. One of the greatest and the most popular human being ever to live in this world Prophet Mohamed PBUH lived in the most modest and possibly a small house, we the living and our lineage will always be proud of that.

Nakheel vs. Emaar, Etisalat vs. du - a clash of titans
Posted by Graham Plater at 19:21 UAE time
There once was a song that went
"I can do anything better than you can... I can do anything better than you... Yes I can!... No you can't!... Yes I can!... No you can't!" ?
Reminds me of the tit-for-tat between organizations which, ultimately, belong to the same people... :-) Who are they trying to fool into believing that the UAE is an open market?

This isn't news and you could use this space in a better way with all the needy out there.

Why?
Posted by JHS at 13:31 UAE time
How many children could be fed, educated, immunized, etc. for the money being spent on this tower? It is sickening to admit that if the money used to construct the tallest buildings, the biggest malls, etc. here in the region were to be saved for two years a check could be written to wipe out poverty. I do not think that God has blessed this region with wealth so it can be squandered. Which would be better to be remembered for by your grandchildren.....building the biggest and the best or ending world hunger?

Is this news?
Posted by Naz Hussain at 10:06 UAE time
Is this news? Seriously. This was known months/years ago! This Al Burj or the "Tall Tower" as announced/speculated/re-designed by Nakheel ever since it was moved from the trunk of Palm Jumeirah to make way for the Trump building.
