1km Nakheel Tower

The Nakheel developer has further pushed back work on its flagship 1km high Nakheel Tower project.
Work on the project will not resume until the start of June 2010 at the earliest. Development was set to resume in January next year after being placed on hold for what was originally a 12 month period at the beginning of this year.

Meanwhile Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building being developed by Emaar Properties PJSC, will be taller than previously envisaged, with height enhancement work already in progress.
The final height of Burj Dubai will be revealed only on its completion in September 2009.
So for now it boast of being the highest structure in mankind.
