The Signature Towers project is a three-tower, mixed-use complex that is to be built in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It was designed by Iraqi born architect Zaha Hadid after winning an international design competition which included proposals from OMA[4] and Reiser & Umemoto among others. It's being developed by Dubai Properties[5], the company that's responsible for the massive Jumeirah Beach Residence. Apart from these three towers, the project will also include a new building to house the Dubai Financial Market, a large podium containing retail space and a pedestrian bridge crossing the creek extension[6].
[edit] History
The project was first unveiled to the public in June, 2006[7] at a Zaha Hadid exhibition in the Guggenheim Museum in New York.[8] The original name was Dancing Towers, however it has now been changed to Signature Tower & Dubai Financial Market Development.
