Sama Tower, High-rise building on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Sama Tower is a high-rise building in central Dubai with 49 stories reaching 194 meters in height. The structure houses both residential units and commercial spaces, served by 16 elevators throughout the building.
Construction of the tower started in 2006 as a planned 75-story project, but aviation regulations required a reduction in its final height. The building was completed in 2009 and has since become part of Dubai's skyline.
The tower represents modern Arabic architectural elements through its design by WS Atkins & Partners, incorporating regional building practices in urban development.
The World Trade Center Metro station nearby provides convenient access to the building on foot. Parking is available across seven floors for both residents and visitors to the tower.
During the foundation work in 2007, concrete was poured continuously in a single operation that set a regional construction record. This engineering feat demonstrated the scale and capability of Dubai's building industry.
