Super Slim Tower Planned For Dubai
Cityscape Abu Dhabi 2008: Leading UK-based international architecture and engineering firm, Atkins, unveils a new design for a 379m high super slim tower called P-17.
The development of the tower will be carried out by Tasameem Group with construction on the project expecting to start in November this year and is due for completion by November 2011.
P-17 will be located on Dubai’s main arterial route, Sheikh Zayed Road and is the latest in a long-line of Dubai property creations by Atkins. P-17 will be a mixed-use tower which will include:
- 77-plus storeys
- 18 office floors
- A 5 star hotel
- 75 serviced apartments
- 19 floors of residential apartments with views across the city
- 14 level car park
Atkins state that the contemporary architectural construction will give the illusion of an ever-changing appearance by utilising staggered blades which splay outwards to convey the appearance of layered planes which move sideways to produce a challenging, gravity-defying form.
“P-17 is a fresh attempt to push back the boundaries of engineering and design”, said Joe Tabet, head of architecture for Atkins.
