The cantilever weighs 8,500 tonnes installation began in August 2020 with the final part weighing 900 tonne taking 4 days at a speed of 5 metres an hour. It is 226m long and 66m in the air attached to two towers over looking the Sheikh Zayed Road. It will contain restaurants, shops and a have a swimming pool on the roof.
It's incredible how fast it is being constructed! The swimming pool on the roof sounds very nice.
