The Skyscraper, Unfinished skyscraper in Business Bay, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

The Skyscraper is an unfinished skyscraper in Business Bay, Dubai, planned to reach 330 metres across 66 floors. Construction began in 2006 but has stalled since 2009, with the structure never rising above street level. In photographs it appears as a tall, slender black silhouette with a stepped top: a flat block on the left, a notch, and a higher section on the right.

Construction of The Skyscraper began in 2006 in Business Bay, Dubai, and the project has faced repeated delays since. By 2009 work had stalled at street level, and the tower has not risen above it since. Its planned height of 330 m across 66 floors may still change.

The tower stands unfinished in Business Bay: work began in 2006 and has not risen above street level since 2009. Its planned height of 330 m over 66 floors would make it Dubai's 17th tallest skyscraper if completed today. The name is simply the English word for a very tall building.

Construction began in 2006 and has stalled since 2009, with the structure still not rising above street level, so there is no observation deck or interior to visit. The tower is planned for 66 floors and about 330 m in Business Bay. It can only be seen from outside, as a halted construction site.
