History

This project, one of Emirates Hotels and Resorts, which is in turn part of The Emirates Group, was originally conceived as a single, 350 metre tall, 70 storey tower which was supposed to be completed in 2008 and built alongside the Sheikh Zayed Road. However, its design and location had to be changed because of the construction of a creek extension belonging to the Business Bay megaproject.
