Work is progressing on Dubai Creek Tower – set to become the new tallest tower in Dubai, its developers announced on Tuesday.
Launched in April 2016, the $1bn mixed-use building will form the centerpiece of the 6 sqkm Dubai Creek Harbour master-development, which is jointly being developed by Emaar and Dubai Holding.

The pile cap is an approximately 20m thick multi-layered, tiered reinforced concrete top that covers and transfers the load to the foundation barrettes.
So far, 50,000 cubic meters of concrete has been poured, weighing about 120,000 tonnes. About 16,000 tonnes of steel reinforcement has also been placed.
The tower’s 145 barrette piles have been tested to a load of 36,000 tonnes and are laid 72 metres deep to secure the super-structure.
Over 450 professionals are working on the site, the statement added.
