DUBAI: Almost a year after the project first broke ground, the Dubai Media Office has released a sneak peek of what it takes to build the world’s next tallest tower.
The Dubai Creek Tower is planned to be taller than the Burj Khalifa, which is currently the tallest building in the world.
The vodeo, which was shared on Twitter on Saturday, shows construction equipment working away at the site in Dubai’s Ras Al Khor area.
So far, workers have spent one million hours at the site, without accident.
According to the video, 170,000 cubic meters of soil have been dug up and 211,200 tons of concrete have been poured in to fill the foundation.

The tower’s design is based upon a lily flower and traditional minarets.
The building will be the centerpiece of the Dubai Creek Harbor development.
