Located in the famous Dubai Marina in Dubai what is there not to love about the Princess Tower? Let's see what this Super Scraper has to offer:
1. The building was originally planned with 90 floors yet the height was increased under construction. It was the second tallest building in Dubai upon completion under the Burj and still is to this day.
2. On May 2012 Guinness World Records officially recognised the Princess Tower as the tallest residential building on earth, that title has now been taken by 432 Park Avenue in New York. Check it out on our post: http://thesuperscrapers.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/top-10-tallest-residential-buildings-on.html
3. It is the tenth most expensive skyscraper in the world, the first being the famous Abraj Al Bait.
4. The Princess Tower is probably most famous for its plank at the top for daring jumpers. Dubai skydiving is based on the top of the skyscraper and is a really popular sport. Daring athletes jump off the building in the best ways and flips and then parachute to the marina floor.
5. Russian Aleksander Remnev scaled the tower in May 2014 and took some stomach-churning selfies from the top with amazing views of the palm.
