Abu Dhabi added nine 200m+ towers to its skyline in 2011, according to a new report by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) of the US.
The CTBUH states that this is a "remarkable" achievement, especially as the emirate only had two such buildings at the beginning of the year.
A further 13 towers of 200m+ are under construction, indicating that the capital will continue to be an important market "for the next several years," stated the report, entitled 'A Year in Review: Trends in 2011'.
Abu Dhabi's largest project to be completed in 2011 was Etihad Towers by developer Sheikh Suroor Projects Department (SSPD) and main contractor Arabian Construction Company (ACC).

The nine 200m+ towers completed in 2011 in Abu Dhabi are:
- (8) Etihad Towers 2, 305m
- (16) Etihad Towers 1, 278m
- (20) Nation Towers Residential Lofts, 268m
