The tower, with its unique curves and twisting motion as one ascends, is actually the third version of the tower proposed by DAMAC Properties Co. The first version had the tower at a much shorter 38 floors, the second had 50.[3] The 83-floor tower houses more than 519 condominiums and is located along Al Sufouh Road in Dubai Marina.[1]
