Dubai: Design of the Burj Al Arabi - the 140-metre, 35-storey, human-shaped tower - appears to have run into difficulty as the master developer Limitless has denied that the project has received approval.
Limitless, the global integrated real estate development arm of Dubai World, yesterday said it did not approve the design of Burj Al Arabi as announced by developer AAA Group in Jumeirah Village.
The master developer said in an e-mailed statement last night: "According to Limitless' contract with the developer, AAA Group are compelled to receive Limitless' approval on the design before any announcement to ensure it is in line with the Development Code and building rules and regulations set for Jumeirah Village Master Plan.
"The design announced in yesterday's media has not been submitted nor approved by Limitless," the statement added.
It will be part of the Jumeirah Village and is due for completion in 2009.
