History
This project, owned by The Emirates Group, was originally conceived as a single, 350 m (1,150 ft), 77-story tower intended 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 mega-project. The new twin-tower design was launched at the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai in 2006 with 395 m (1,296 ft) towers.
However, the shape of the towers was modified and the height decreased to 355 m (1,165 ft) in a later redesign. The concrete structural frames of both towers topped out in April 2010. As of April, 2011 the spires on both towers has been added while the outer structure of the both towers has almost been completed. The buildings were completed in 2012.
