There’s no way this thing has 210 fl. It’s an observation tower not a skyscraper.

Apologies for a bump in this thread and this may be a little off topic, but after seeing recent tweet about Dubai planning to build a second tallest building in the world, in my opinion this could motivate the Dubai Creek Tower to be revived in the near future.

Let’s gooo!!! 
Per Gabriel on skyscrapercity:
- Dubai Creek Tower is currently being redesigned and construction to resume within 1 year
- Previous design is now outdated for the market and our vision has changed regarding the tower and now we are looking for something on brand and different
- A new design competition was conducted from which 1 was chosen to carry the redesign and is well underway now, hoping to reveal it in 7 to 8 months time.

That’s strange to me that they call this outdated. It has been a few years, but it’s not as long as 2 World Trade. Will be interesting to see what the new design is though

I’m curious of the new design as well. Also, I wonder how they’ll manage the foundation for it. Probably going to pile more if needed

Per grandmath on SSC:
Emaar’s redesigned Creek Tower is unlikely to be the tallest structure in Dubai, revealed founder Mohamed Alabbar.
Speaking exclusively with Arabian Business, Alabbar said work on the building’s design is ongoing. “A lot of work is still going on the redesign, I’m not sure it will be the tallest tower in Dubai. We have to always look at our bottom line and deliver value to our customers and our shareholders,” he said.
The tower, originally designed to be tethered to the ground with cables and 100m taller than Burj Khalifa, was meant to be the centrepiece of the Dubai Creek Harbour development. Work on the project was paused due to the pandemic after foundations were laid in 2017.
“There is not a set timescale for this, I have to be happy with the redesigns,” added Alabbar.

Looks like there’s a chance it’ll be shorter than the Burj Khalifa unfortunately.
I would still be happy as long as it’s still a megatall
