The design of the EP07 Tower celebrates Dubai’s dual nature as a city with a strong history and traditions and the first truly 21st century metropolis. The tower’s fluid shape symbolizes Dubai’s historic relationship to water- drawing parallels to the movement of the Gulf around which the city was built and the waterways that will transport newcomers and travelers throughout the city in the future. The base of the tower is cradled by a curving podium building reminiscent of the tower’s flowing form. The smooth rounded shape of the tower makes strong references to Dubai’s history of pearl harvesting and trade. Concurrently, the tower embraces the city’s modern commitment to sustainability and position as a global innovator- combining advanced building technologies and climate appropriate systems to cleanly generate power on-site.

The mixed-use tower will be approximately 600 meters high, with a total built-up area of 350,000 square meters.
