Dubai Creek Tower is a hyper-tall tower under construction in Dubai, UAE, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava. Positioned near Dubai Creek, it draws inspiration from a lily flower and a minaret, featuring a central reinforced concrete core with steel cable stays, creating a distinct visual effect.

The developer Emaar Properties has yet to disclose the precise height of Dubai Creek Tower officially, but it is anticipated to be a minimum of 1,300 meters (4,300 feet). This would exceed the height of the Burj Khalifa, which stands at 828 meters (2,717 feet).

The tower will be the focal point of the Dubai Creek Harbour district, covering 6 square kilometers. While the exact height remains undisclosed, it’s speculated to exceed 1,300 meters, possibly reaching 1,400 meters.

The construction began in October 2016, originally slated for completion in 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the timeline. As of 2023, the resumption of construction is anticipated within the next year.
