Default What Were They Thinking?

At present, this hideous structure, which stands directly opposite my office window overlooking Zabeel Park, has reached 27 storeys in height. It is a real eye sore. They say it cost Dhs120 million (probably much more actually) to build but will attract 2 million visitors a year (probably very many less). What a complete waste of money, which surely could have been better spent on improving the road system or beach facilities to attract returning tourists. Your views?

Huge structure to symbolically divide new and old Dubai | The National

Hadn't thought of that; the 2 million visitors does some a *little* more plausible now.
