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).
