The building is, essentially, two towers that are connected with a central glass shaft. The two towers shoot up to support the mock propeller.

In the middle of the propeller will live one of the most expensive restaurants in the world where you can not only get a lunch, but also lose your lunch because of the view in the glass-enclosed hub.

One claim to fame is that the most expensive apartment in Dubai will be in the Anara Tower that will have its own, private elevator and swimming pool.

Construction will begin at the end of 2009
