Upon its completion, Domino Tower, which will house numerous service apartments and entertainment facilities, will become the tallest structure in Southeast Asia and the 8th tallest tower in the world.
What sets Domino Tower apart is that its location bears a striking resemblance to the iconic Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, which also sits on an artificial island.
