Here's some pics of the current construction status:

That has to be the most insane amount of cranes I have ever seen in one pic. Any idea what kind of businesses will locate in all these towers?

36 of the towers are residential, while the remaining 4 are upscale hotels.

Yeah and this is just one small area.  There's all sorts of stuff going on around Dubai.  Matt you should post some pics of the 'World' and some of the 'Palm' islands.

^Nice shot.
What is that being built in the foreground? Or Is that just part of the entire development?
