World’s tallest building with a heart of green, the Nakheel Tower to be built in Dubai

There’s no end with countries and cities competing with each other to reach the highest place in the clouds above. And by that we mean those extremely tall sky-scrapers that have their roofs in the clouds, scraping at heavens feet. The Nakheel Tower, by Woods Bagot, was designed for Dubai, and could just be the worlds tallest sky-scraper, pushing through the race to reach up in the sky. Standing high and proud at 1,400 meters (4,593 ft), this tower will be part of a large marina development for Dubai. And if ever built, it will sure as hell keep up with LEED standards too! Using an Islamic building strategy that divides it into four cores, the building also has slots in the middle at the top that lets in natural breeze. The building will also boast black water treatment, storm water harvesting, reuse of fire test water, solar panels, wind turbines, and high-voltage power distribution, turning it into what will be the world’s tallest skyscraper with a extremely green heart.

The surrounding area, 270 hectares in all, will play home to shopping districts, residences, offices, and public parks too! To be a prominent figure in Dubai’s horizon, the Nakheel Tower is as green as a skyscraper can get!
