We have our own funds to finance the project,” said Hussain Nasser Lootah, director general of the Dubai Municipality, on the sidelines of the third Government Summit which concluded recently. <br /><br />The project, which was announced in April 2014, will include three towers comprising commercial and hotel spaces, with the towers spread over a distance of 450 metres on Dubai Creek.

The shape of the bridges that will link the buildings represents exotic marine life, such as dragons and snakes. The towers will have a built area of 110,000 sq. metres, with the highest tower rising to 34 storeys. The other two towers will have 26 and 25 floors respectively.
