The complex consists of two skyscrapers that are named Marina Sky Tower 1 and Marina Sky Tower 2.[3] Both buildings stand 200 m (660 ft) and contain contain 60 floors for residential use. They are joined together by a 9-story podium.[1] Construction began in 2009, with completion in 2013.[1]
The project has been scaled down from the original proposal, which called for three supertall skyscrapers with more than 100 floors of residences. Two buildings, Marina Sky Tower 1 and 3, would have stood at 450 m (1,476 ft) with 114 floors.[2][4] Marina Sky Tower 2 would have stood 400 m (1,312 ft) with 104 floors.[5]
