Ezdan studying plans for tallest tower
Ezdan Real Estate is studying a proposal to build the world’s tallest tower in Qatar, chairman Sheikh Thani bin Abdullah al-Thani has said.“This is the right time to consider such a project. We will implement it provided we got adequate land,” Sheikh Thani bin Abdullah told company shareholders at their AGM in Doha yesterday.

Hmmmm - Living as I do in an Ezdan compound, I hope the tower is built with a good deal more thought and attention to detail than the villa's they "throw" up - I've never seen such shoddy workmanship and finishing!!!
Leaning Tower of Doha anyone??
i have a better idea. a building hanged so high in the air ....
Yup ..more towers and malls are needed...desperately!
why GCC countries are concentrating on building up huge towers, they should have focus on developing industries in a competetive way, if they have extra large budget!!
well said DohaBrit, if Ezdan have anything to do with it it'll be a diaster.....I think qatar is suffering from small mans syndrome
Frankly this scares me!! Dubai's Burj Khalifa has Emaar behind it, who constantly are creating great quality developments with thought and attention to detail...Ezdan has a reputation for 'budget' mid to low income housing and VERY questionable workmanship and quality. This is one future attraction I'll give a wide berth, unless they spend proper money on proper companies to assist in the build! Emaar spent 5Billion+ Dirhams....so, a minimum of 10billion QR to be taller than the one proposed in Saudi?
Maybe Ezdan should concentrate on learning to walk before trying to win an Olympic 100m Gold medal!
This is great news for base jumpers, perhaps the next club to be formed.
They could have a revolving restaurant at the top in the shape of a Football...
Oops sorry, heard it in 2008, got mixed up. Thanks for correction
So, the Saudis will be queuing to join the Mile High Club :o)
Not 3 KM, rather a mile, google it for details
2022 organising committee's office will be in that tower so it will get completed on time too for a change :P
Saudi announced something close to 3 KM height if I am not wrong in 2008 so they have to plan something even taller than that. Will be good fun for everyone involved in construction business. Start one in Qatar at 4 KMs then go to Dubai and tell them they need to join the race again, start a 5 KM one and so on..

You will get what you paid for :)
right...next on the agenda right before better pay packages, health benefits for expats, ridiculous traffic fine etc we must have Tall Buildings!
Excellent idea.
The tallest tower is planned for Saudi at present and Doha should have one by 2022...
skyscrapers mean "economic boom", or "economic doom"?

Looks like Dubai and Qatar are competing for the worlds biggest Erection!
Perhaps they could use all the Landcruisers in Doha stacked up.
That would sort out the safety on the roads and give them the highest tower.
