Nahkeel harbour project will cover an area of more than 270 hectares providing home to more than 55,000 people, a workplace for 45,000 more and attract millions of tourists each year. The tower will emerge in the heart of new Dubai, focussing on creating a true community, a prime location for life, work, relaxing, entertaining, art and culture.

The new development is at the intersection of Sheikh Zayed Road and the Arabian Canal; and will also complement Nakheel's surrounding developments including Jumeirah Park, Jumeirah Islands, Discovery Gardens and Ibn Battuta shopping mall.
