Dubai Will Build & Export Rotating Pre-Fabricated Units For Rotating Towers

Dubai: An Italian firm is setting up a facility in Jebel Ali to produce pre-fabricated units for a revolving tower that it intends to build in Dubai.

It said the facility will be set up with an investment of about Dh110 million, but the futuristic tower will cost about Dh1.28 billion and it was looking for investors to fund the project.

The fabricated units made in Dubai will be shipped to 11 other major cities including Moscow, Milan, New York and Tokyo, where similar towers will be built after one is completed in the emirate, said David Fisher, chairman of Rotating Tower Technology Limited.

"Dubai is going to be the first place to have this type of tower," he said at a press conference where he unveiled the "Dynamic Architecture" concept.

Each floor of the tower will rotate within a set speed, enabling the building to constantly change shape.
