Photos: Dubai's 'dynamic tower' in motion

The Dubai tower is being presented as a luxury residence, and one order of business last week was to open up the reservation list for prospective buyers of the building's 'villas'. Those who would hope to be residents should check the depths of their pockets: Fisher says the buy-in price will start at about $3,000 (£1,500) per square foot, a princely sum, he acknowledges, even by Dubai's robust economic standards. That price would put the largest of the villas, measuring just under 1,200 square metres, at just under $39m, while the smallest of the apartments, at a more modest 123 square metres, would cost close to $4m.
