The model of the development is the showpiece of Nakheel's stand at Cityscape Dubai and has proved to be one of the most popular attractions of the opening day.
The kilometre-high tower will stand at the junction of Sheikh Zayed Road and the Arabian canal, near Jebel Ali and at the heart of 'New Dubai.'
The Nakheel Harbour and Tower development will cover a total of 270 hectares and provide accommodation for 55,000 people once complete.
See the AME Info video on Nakheel's 1km tower.
The tower itself will be 200 storeys tall and, once complete will be the world's tallest concrete structure.
Prices for the project will cost an estimated $3,500 per square foot, and units will be released for sale in increments over the ten years it will take to complete the project.
The tower will take an estimated 500,000 cubic metres of concrete to construct.
