Dubai’s Vertical Icons: Towers That Outshine the Burj Khalifa in Lifestyle

Dubai is familiarly associated with the Burj Khalifa, and yet there is a lot more to the city skyline than just a single spire. In the last 20 years, Dubai has become an anthropomorphic skyscraper city where not only are they tall, but they also shape the ambition, the lifestyle, and identity of the city. These architectural towers have been recent record breakers when it comes to residential buildings that redefine what it means to live and play in the sky. Beyond Burj, every tower has something specific to tell about design, innovation, and luxury.

The Big Players Beyond Burj Khalifa

1. Marina 101

Marina 101 is soaring 101 stories in the air and is ranked among towers regarded as the tallest in the world as a residential building.

Combined, they show that Dubai not only has higher skyscrapers but also redraws the vision of city living with the ways in which comfort, luxury, and innovation are improved to dizzying new heights.
