21st Century Tower




21st Century Tower is a 55-story skyscraper along the Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai . At a height of 269 m (883 ft) it is the world's third-tallest residential building.

It was the world's tallest residential building when it was completed in 2003, but later the Eureka Tower in Melbourne, Australia and the Q1 tower in Australia's Gold Coast bumped it to its current position.

It is occupied by Cabin Crew members of Emirates Airline, and boasts a gym on the top floor and a pool on the roof.

State of the art building maintenance systems keep its occupants secure and comfortable despite the extreme climate of the U.A.E.

The skyscraper contains 6 elevators. During requests for an elevator, an intelligent elevator system automatically directs the closest elevator to the requested floor. Equally interesting is the fact that no balconies exist on any of the floors, including the lower levels.

Combining state of the art technology with creative design, each floor of the Tower is zestfully designed and decorated. Remaining faithful to the fact that the beauty of sky-scraper living is in the view, each bedroom is provided with large windows either overlooking the Persian Gulf or the futuristic Sheik Zayed Road.
