How many feet above sea level is it? I just see catastrophe waiting to happen. I cant imagine what the insurance would cost to insure a house there.

Click pic for full size version.

Situated on the northern coast of Dubai I suspect it's sheltered from the brunt of hurricanes. I would be more concerned with neighbors to the north.

Passing supertankers should make for some gnarly waves. Port Jumeira could be the surfing capital of the world for about one day.

I had the 22.5 mil, but it was in dollars. I noticed the price was in pounds and I couldn’t get the rest together. Oh well!

Note in the bottom pic that almost every high rise building is under construction. Quite a building boom going on there.

An amazing engineering feat, and several more of these are under development. Wish I’d thought to buy one so I could cash in now.

Besides the points made here, consider the months of 100°/100% humidity they can bask in. Nobody moves outside from 10AM to 5PM or so.

Yecchhh............

It’s nice to see some Arabs use their money to invest it and build something that helps their economy instead of buying weapons and sending the money to radicalize people all over the world.

The project has not been without problems. A full year's delay was caused by settling of the island's new land. Nakheel solved the problem by adding more sand and hiring a Dutch firm to compact it with vibrating machines.

Anyone want to start a pool on when this thing will slump back into the water?
