NAKHEEL TOWERS


The tower was proposed in 2003 as the centerpiece of Palm Jumeirah  It was to be named "The Pinnacle" and rise from the centre of a canal on the trunk of the island. The height was to be 750 m (2,461 ft) and the building was to consist of 120 floors of luxury apartments. It was replaced by the Trump International Hotel and Tower and moved to the Dubai Waterfront.
The tower would have been serviced by 156 lifts at sufficient speeds and capacities to allow for travel from the ground floor to the observation deck in four minutes
The original design conceived by Pei Partnership Architects was to have 631,000 m2 (6,792,000 sq ft) of floorspace comprising ultra-luxury apartments, restaurants, a large health club, and an observation deck.

With Woods Bagot replacing Pei Partnership as the architectural partner,[1]  the latest released design had named the development Nakheel Harbour and Tower.
