[edit] History
This project, owned by The Emirates Group, was originally conceived as a single, 350-metre tall, 77-storey tower which was supposed 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 megaproject. The new twin-tower design was launched at the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai in 2006. This design had the towers stand at 395 m (1,296 ft) high.[8] However, the shape of the towers was modified and the height decreased to 365 m (1,198 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 twin towers are expected to be handed over in 2011.[1][2]
