Mega projects: Diamond-inspired Uptown Tower will be ‘Dubai’s next iconic building’ – The National

A 79-floor skyscraper under construction in Dubai, which was inspired by the shape of a diamond, has been described as the next iconic building in the city’s skyline.

The Uptown Tower, close to Dubai’s JLT district, will stand at 340 metres tall once completed with work expected to conclude on the building by the third quarter of this year.

The developers behind the project claim it has been built in response to a growing need for office and commercial space, despite the continuing Covid-19 pandemic.
