i would also add Pentominium once it gets up there. the quality of the glass will determine the buildings slender/sexy-ness.

and the al fattan towers (aka oasis beach hotel), which imo are among the better dubai towers.

dubai has a lot of really nice designs, there's just too many awkward shapes near each other to create a harmonious skyline, and 80% of the boxy ones are ugly as hell! The Jumeirah Beach Residences were a horrible mistake!
