Have you ever wondered how many swimming pools could possibly be enough for a skyscraper? Well a new super-tall luxury residential tower being built at Dubai Marina could finally answer this question.

23 Marina is a 395-meter tall residential building, now under construction, that will rise 89 floors above the ground. It has been designed by the International Building Centre with roughly octagonal floor plates and a 64-meter tall spire above the main structure that helps turn it into what looks like a giant pencil with typical Dubai-esque cladding of blue and white.

23 Marina is being developed by Hircon International which has deliberately rejected the multi-use concept that many of Dubai's taller towers enjoy, going for a solely residential building with 288 apartments and only a few extra facilities such as a three-storey spa, which will be for the exclusive use of the occupiers.
