Earlier this morning, tremors were reportedly felt in offices across Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City as the Dubai Pearl saw demolition work over 20 years after it was first announced.
The demolition of the Dubai Pearl had begun in November, first hand witnesses earlier told Arabian Business, with deconstruction equipment spotted at the site.
The project, first announced in 2002, included a 73-storey building, but has been put on indefinite hold since 2009, due to lack of investors in the residential skyscraper.
Investors also previously found out that the project was under a “notice of cancellation” by the Dubai government, but has yet to be officially cancelled, and that the developer is looking to find a new investor.
