I guess Dubai is soon turning into the skyscraper haven, which is why the latest architecture gossip thrives there. Anara Tower, the 125-story skyscraper is about 700 meters tall and vies for the tallest spot. Its been designed by the British firm Atkins and apparently the structure will conform to LEED certification requirements. It will boast of at least a silver rating by maximizing water and energy efficiency and potentially including renewable sources of energy. The green thumb people will find solace in the sky gardens placed every 27 floors, but the metrosexuals can rely on the 250 rooms luxury hotel, shops and office space. The building will also host 300 residential apartments, and a place for exhibitions and auctions. The all-in-one package will probably be the most expensive place in Dubai. Luxuries like exclusive swimming pools, exclusive elevators and spectacular views of the Dubai coastline come included. Construction is scheduled to begin in late 2009.
