Doha is in the middle of the desert... it's hotter than Phoenix. It can't be urban.

It used to be 550 m, but according to the skyscraperpage diagrams, the height is now 570 m, and the floor count is 108.

Last night I talked with someone who is working on this project. He informed me that they are still tweaking the final design, and the exact height is not official yet. He said the floor count has been floating between 104 and 111. The good news is that they have started excavation, and there could be an even taller project for Doha in the near future.

Right, it sure is. What's your point? Did anyone here make a case for this complex being the epitome of urbanity? Or is it only acceptable for highrise buildings to rise in very dense urban clusters?

Great design, I like Russia tower and this one is nice as well.
I wish it was in a skyscraper cluster but it's still great

It looks like the top 130 meters or more is just filler. What is the point? Are there wind turbines or water tanks or something useful up there?

Is this under construction yet? If not, I'm going to move it to the proposal section.
