WTF? It looks nothing even remotely like the Burj Khalifa.

As for me, I quite like it. I have a soft spot for pseudo-neo-classic designs, especially when it's going to be so very lofty.

I wasn't sure at first what to make of this building but after giving it some time to sink in , actually , I rather like it. I see a touch of the Willis Tower in the massing but more like an updated version of it with a touch of artistry at the top.

I love this design. Glass and steel is great, but it`s not all there is.

I watched a 1970s sci-fi movie that had a "Space-Arab" city with a matte painting of buildings like that.

I haven't heard of this tower before today, April 1st, so I'll believe it's a joke until I see if it's still here tomorrow.

As for the design , can't say I like it but at least it's not a bland glass box. Are the Arabs developing their own regional skyscraper style?

I actually think it looks like a smaller and boxy version of the burj khalifa.

Not bad. Just wait until the finish product is up. It may appease to more of you.

...to ugly that's the reason.

No, joke. Don't know. I'm afraid that they have financial problems. It's the second 500+m tower in Doha where construction has been suspended in the last year.
