Waterfront site of luxury residential tower is inundated after sea wall collapse this week
The construction site of Dubai’s luxury residential tower D1 flooded this week after a sea wall collapsed.
The construction is located in Dubai’s Creek cultural and artistic district, built directly at the waterfront.
An eyewitness said: “Looking at the crane it seems as though the site is about 30 feet under water”.
It is believed that nobody was hurt.
A similar incident took place in February this year when the site of the Infinity Tower in Dubai’s Marina was inundated. A burst wall was also cause of the incident then. Consequently, the project had to be put on hold.
The D1 Tower, designed by Holford & Associates, is a twin tower to the world’s tallest residential tower, Q1, in Australia.
The building will be 284 m high, comprising 80 storeys of luxury apartments.
The construction is worth about £86.5m and is being developed by local contractors Arabtec and Emirates Sunland.
