I read back a few posts and was surprised by how many people dislike this building (the Index). It is my favorite building in Dubai.
To me the building signifies strength and dignity. Perhaps it's because I'm from Chicago...
where many of our buildings are 'broad shouldered' and massive.
The Index reminds me of Chicago's Chase
(previously...1st National Bank Building)
It dates from 1969 and is 259m or 850 ft tall.
It was quickly overshadowed by the Hancock Bldg...Sears Tower
....and the Aon Bldg (originally Standard Oil) in quick succession.
