Emirates Towers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Emirates Towers complex contains the Emirates Office Tower and Emirates Towers Hotel skyscrapers, respectively the 13th (355m) and the 27th (309m) tallest currently-standing structures in the world, and a 9,000 m² (96,875 ft²) two story retail complex known as The Boulevard connecting the two towers. The complex is located on the Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The sister towers are a symbol of Dubai City.
A curiosity of the design is that the towers have a similar number of floors (Office Tower: 54 floors, Hotel: 56 floors); the individual floor heights of the office tower are greater than that of the hotel.
Emirates Towers is set in over 570,000 m² (42 acres) of gardens, complete with lakes, waterfalls, public seating areas and with parking space for up to 1800 cars.
