A whole town is to be built covering 270 hectares, forming a new Dubai and including “a tower which could reach one kilometre in height,” bin Sulayem was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n
Bin Sulayem said the entire project would cost 140 billion UAE dirhams ($38.12bn).<\/p>\n
The world’s tallest building, the yet to be completed Burj Dubai tower reached a height of 688 metres (2,257 feet) last month and is still growing, according to developers Emaar. It now boasts 160 storeys, the highest skyscraper in the world, Emaar said.<\/p>\n
Nakheel, known for building palm-shaped islands off the coast of Dubai, has already started construction of the development, a project that will take about 10 years, chief executive Chris O’Donnell said.<\/p>\n
O’Donnell said the project, which includes as many as 40 other towers and will house 55,000 people, would be developed in phases, depending on market conditions.<\/p>\n
The developer, which already has about $60bn worth of projects, said it expected buyers in the emirate to focus more on schemes near water, transportation and landmark structures in the future.<\/p>\n
Nakheel’s tower development, which will vie for the title of world’s tallest tower, will be financed through pre-sales and project finance.<\/p>\n
O’Donnell said he was confident banks would lend to the developer as, in these times, lenders were looking for a “flight to quality”.<\/p>\n
Last month, Nakheel launched a $1.2bn loan to finance general corporate activities, which was underwritten by Saudi Arabia’s Samba Financial Group, he said.<\/p>\n
In February, chief financial officer Kar Tung Quek said the company needed about $5bn a year to fund projects through a mix of land, pre-sales and borrowing.<\/p>\n
The firm had been aiming to raise 3bn dirhams ($817 million) of equity to finance housing and 5bn dirhams for infrastructure projects via an initial public offering of real estate investment trusts (REITs) this month, Quek said.<\/p>\n
“Market conditions are adverse for any market currently … We are still preparing to launch REITs, but when the market conditions are right,” O’Donnell said.<\/p>\n
Competition for the title of world’s tallest tower is heating up in the Gulf region as real estate developers benefit from a more than four-fold increase in oil prices.<\/p>\n
Kingdom Holding Company, controlled by Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, is planning to unveil the designs for a mile-high (1,609 metres) tower in Jeddah this month, according to the London-based Middle East Economic Digest.<\/p>\n
Kuwait has said the Burj Mubarak in its City of Silk development will also be more than 1,000 metres high.<\/p>\n
