Dubai said on Monday Oct 31,2016 it had started building what would be the
world's tallest tower, another record for the city that is already home
to the highest skyscraper - the Burj Khalifa 829.8 meters (2,722 feet) high.
The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour - a joint venture between Emaar Properties and Dubai Holding, the investment vehicle of the Emirate's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum - will be completed in 2020, Dubai's government said.
Its statement did not say how high the tower would be nor how much it might cost.
Guinness World Records defines a tower as a structure in which less than 50 % of the total height is useable floor space.
The world's tallest tower is the Tokyo Sky Tree, a 634-metre-high broadcasting, restaurant and observation tower.
Dubai, a major tourism and entertainment center, is continually laying plans for new attractions. Its new tower, part of a plush new residential area next to a waterfront, will feature several garden-themed observation decks, it said.
