Nikken Sekkei, the complex is shown near completion with its
record-breaking skybridge, named The Link, spanning a six-lane highway,

to Mace, one of the construction companies working on the project, the
steel and glass bridge is the "world's longest cantilever", it is
just 16 metres shorter than the smallest of the two skyscrapers that flank it,
which measures 235 metres in height, the tallest of the two buildings extends
to 305 metres,
Nikken Sekkei is
set to officially complete One Za'abeel at the end of this month. Being one of
the first visible structures for those travelling from the airport, it is hoped
to become a landmark for Dubai, the complex will contain offices, hotels and residences, according
to Nikken Sekkei, One Za'abeel's "iconic design strikes a clear
departure from the existing buildings around it", One Za'abeel has been designed by Nikken Sekkei for
developer Ithra Dubai, in construction the lift of the dramatic cantilever over the highway
was carried
out over the live highway in 2020, what an
amazing structure.
