Construction of the 618-metre-tall Pentominium tower – one of the world’s tallest man-made structures – in Dubai Marina will not only boost investor confidence, but also help Dubai reinforce its position as the city with one of the largest collections of skyscapers.
When completed, the residential tower will host 120 floors above ground. Designed by architects Aedas and funded by developers Trident International Holdings (TIH), the project is expected to be completed in 48 months.
According to reports, Dubai currently has 390 completed high-rises, with 321 more under construction, and 551 planned.
In addition, Dubai is expected to be the site of more buildings with 100 floors or more than any other city in the world by 2015. Some of these supertall buildings include Burj Dubai (162 floors), The Pentominium (120 floors), Burj Al Alam (108 floors), Marina 101 (101 floors), Princess Tower (107 floors) and the now on-hold Nakheel Harbour Tower (more than 200 floors, 1.4 kilometres). This far outpaces other leading metropolises in terms of towers with more than 100 habitable floors.
