21st Century Tower

21st Century Tower, High-rise building in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

21st Century Tower is a 55-storey residential skyscraper on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, completed in 2003 and rising 269 metres. The AW Rostamani Group logo is mounted at the top of the tower, which stands near the 333-metre Rose Tower.

The 21st Century Tower was completed in 2003 as a 55-storey residential skyscraper on Sheikh Zayed Road. On completion it held the title of the world's tallest residential building, a record later taken by Melbourne's Eureka Tower and the Q1 on Australia's Gold Coast.

The AW Rostamani Group logo sits at the top of the tower, a corporate mark on a residential skyscraper. The building's name refers to the 21st century, the era in which it was built. Its position along Sheikh Zayed Road places it near the Rose Tower, 333 metres tall, another landmark of the same corridor.

The tower stands along Sheikh Zayed Road, the main artery running through Dubai, so it is reached by car or taxi rather than on foot. The AW Rostamani Group logo on the roof helps identify the building from the road. The Rose Tower, 333 metres tall, is nearby and can serve as a landmark for orientation.

The AW Rostamani Group logo sits at the top of the tower, a detail visible from Sheikh Zayed Road. Completed in 2003 at 269 metres, it was the world's tallest residential building until Melbourne's Eureka Tower and the Gold Coast's Q1 surpassed it.
