The Burj Dubai’s biggest competitor in terms of price is the Palm Trump International Hotel and Tower, where the square foot rate recently topped Dh12,500.

Prices in both these towers are widely considered the highest in the UAE and are expected to top any other developments in the GCC countries, said Ali Al Rahma, CEO of real estate information website Eqaraat.com.

Trump International Hotel and Tower (Dubai)

he Trump International Hotel & Tower is a proposed skyscraper hotel at the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai. It is a joint venture between the Trump Organization and Dubai-based Nakheel, a government-owned company, and was announced on October 5, 2005. The 62 story hotel and residential building has an estimated cost of U.S. $600 million.[1] The hotel is expected to be a 300-room, five-star hotel. Construction work was suspended in November 2008 due to the effects of the global credit crunch. [1]

The original design featured a circular tower surrounded by four golden petals attached to the sides.[2] However, this was rejected by Nakheel who later unveiled a new design which features a split linked tower with an innovative open core design that minimizes shadows. The tower will be constructed of stainless steel, glass and stone. Proposed amenities include exclusive access to a private beach and yacht club with tennis courts, gymnasium and fitness centre, stylized pools and gardens.
