Being a Dubai resident a few random posts will be about Dubai. Here’s the first one!

Dubai will be home to at least six tall towers exceeding 100 floors. Only Chicago in the world boasts of more than 1 super tower. They are the 108-storey Sears Towers and the 100-storey John Hancock Center. A third, the 118-floor 7 South Dearborn tower is still under construction. These six super tall structures being envisaged should truly put Dubai among the world’s “Mega cities”. All these towers will be ready latest by 2015. The tall towers being built are:
