Al Burj is a supertall skyscraper proposed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates by developer Al Nakheel.
Nakheel is in talks with several potential contractors which include South Korean Samsung Engineering & Construction who are also building the Burj Dubai, Japanese Shimizu Corporation and Australian Grocon. An article posted on Construction UAE and MEED.com on 16 March 2007 indicates that construction on the tower was slated to begin later that year and that the final height of the tower would be 1,200 m (3,937 ft), reduced from an initial height of 1,600 m (5,249 ft) or just under one mile. However, more recent indications are that the project has been considerably downgraded, and construction has still not started.
