Dubai’s The Link At One Za’abeel Sets The Record For The Longest Cantilevered Building In The World

The Link At One Za’abeel in Dubai is an architectural marvel. And now, it has made Dubai proud with a new achievement. Yes, we are talking about the fact that the twin tower building in the Emirate has set the record for being the longest cantilevered building in the world. Here’s everything you need to know about this brilliant development.

The Link Is The Longest Cantilevered Building In The World

One of the newest additions to the skyline of Dubai, One Za’abeel is a super luxury twin tower that is situated near the Dubai World Trade Centre Roundabout. And now, the newest construction has officially been named the world’s longest cantilevered building by the Guinness World Record. This record was achieved on March 1, which made the building join the long list of record-breaking buildings in Dubai.

Detailed Look Inside The Link

For those who aren’t aware, The Link stretches 230 m in length and dissects the One Za’abeel skyscraper 100 metres above the ground. Not to mention, the record-setting cantilever extends 67.277 metres beyond the main tower. As such, it was completed in two phases over 16 days. Additionally, this was done without any disruption to the four lanes of traffic below the operation that was taking place. While Phase One saw steel structures weighing more than 8500 tonnes being lifted and slotted into the place. Phase two witnessed 900-plus tons of cantilevered structure being lifted into place.
