Concorde Tower, Residential skyscraper in Jumeirah Lake Towers, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Concorde Tower is a 45-floor residential tower in the Jumeirah Lake Towers Free Zone of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with a structural height of 190 m (623 ft). Its facade pairs a grid of blue glass panels with a narrower strip of stacked balconies that have curved white edges and dark openings, and the building narrows slightly toward a flat top. It stands among other high-rises and construction cranes.
Concorde Tower was announced by developer 32Group with completion planned for December 2007, at an estimated construction cost of US$120 million. Force majeure circumstances pushed the finish to February 2009, and the 45-floor building was ready for use in April 2009.
The name Concorde refers to the Franco-British supersonic airliner, and the tower's slender profile with a flat top is often read as an allusion to it. The building stands in the Jumeirah Lake Towers free zone, a cluster of some 80 towers arranged around artificial lakes, where residents use the waterfront promenades and ground-floor retail as shared space.
