‘Female Burj Khalifa’ to be built in Dubai. Mohammed Alabbar, the visionary founder of Emaar and Noon, has revealed plans for the construction of the Dubai Creek Tower, dubbed as the “female” counterpart to the iconic Burj Khalifa.
The project, set to grace the Dubai Creek Harbour, promises to redefine the city’s skyline with a blend of innovation and architectural prowess.
During a recent address at the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival (SEF) 2024, Alabbar disclosed exciting details about the forthcoming development, including a revolutionary concept—a mall where patrons will have the unique experience of driving electric automobiles through its premises.
The visionary developer indicated that this groundbreaking feature takes inspiration from external sources and marks a first-of-its-kind venture in mall design.
Reflecting on his entrepreneurial journey, Alabbar openly shared insights and lessons learned, notably addressing the decision to abandon earlier plans for an imposing kilometer-long tower at the same location.
Acknowledging the strategic shift, he emphasized the importance of deriving revenue from the associated apartments, rather than solely focusing on towering structures.
Termed the “female” Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Creek Tower is poised to be a symbol of architectural elegance, with Alabbar teasing that the tower’s initial appearance will be unveiled in the coming months.
The broader Dubai Creek Harbour project, spanning an impressive six million square meters, is envisioned as the city’s “new downtown,” showcasing Alabbar’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of urban development.
One of the project’s standout features, the drive-through mall, aligns with Alabbar’s reputation for pushing the envelope in the realm of real estate and city planning.
The visionary developer’s commitment to innovation has consistently propelled Dubai to the forefront of global architectural achievements.

During the SEF session, Alabbar also touched upon the challenges of leading a publicly listed company like Emaar.
He highlighted the need for transparency, emphasizing the discipline required in reporting to shareholders every 90 days.
Alabbar noted the scrutiny from stock markets regarding his activities, but expressed appreciation for the resultant discipline, believing it has contributed to personal and professional growth.
As ‘Female Burj Khalifa’ to be built in Dubai, it stands as a testament to Alabbar’s unwavering dedication to reshaping the city’s skyline and maintaining Dubai’s status as a global hub for architectural innovation.
