It doesn’t have an official height, and the Emirates like it that way. What we do know is that it’s between 1 KM and 1.3 KM, I have never heard 928 M. ---

I see. I think I know where that info was from. "the Chairman of Emaar Properties used to tell the media that the tower will be 100 meters taller than Burj Khalifa, which means it will be 928 meters tall, since then many medias started to using the figure 928 to introduce the height of Dubai Creek Tower. In August 2017, a video displayed in Dubai Mall gives a hint of the height of the tower, according to the video, it can be approximately speculated that 8 Dubai Creek Tower stacked on each other will reach around 11 kilometers, hence the tower will be at least 1300 meters. In the same time the video also implies that the height of 5 Dubai Creek Tower adding up is equivalent to that of 8 Burj Khalifa, this put the height of the tower to be 1345 meters. " From the [Dubai Creek Tower facts and information – The Tower Info](https://thetowerinfo.com/buildings-list/dubai-creek-tower/) That was apparently in 2016. I’d disregard it. There’s zero reason to think that if this tower were to be built it would be under 1K tall. ---

Ah, now I get it. I almost forgot that 928 meters are the minimum height for this tower. But yeah if resumed construction it’ll most likely be at least 1K tall. ---

I must say it’s a beautiful observation tower though. If it gets built it will probably be the best in the world. ---

I’m planning to build that in Minecraft soon, the 1345-meter version. Will it be okay if I posted it here since it’s technically a megatall in the game? ---
