I dont trust SOM at all...
I have see them work in Bahrain, UAE, and Qatar... the cost should probably be 40% less

 

I guess Dubai are pretty pissed off now haha!

 

why do we need all these towers, they will be useless in a couple of years when the work from home trend accelerates and become the norm.
