Function
A mixed-use tall building contains two or more functions (or uses), where each of the functions occupy a significant proportion of the tower's total space. Support areas such as car parks and mechanical plant space do not constitute mixed-use functions. Functions are denoted on CTBUH "Tallest Building" lists in descending order, e.g., "hotel/office" indicates hotel function above office function.
residential / hotel
Structural Material
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems are constructed from steel. Note that a building of steel construction with a floor system of concrete planks or concrete slab on top of steel beams is still considered a “steel” structure as the concrete elements are not acting as the primary structure.
Reinforced Concrete
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems are constructed from concrete which has been cast in place and utilizes steel reinforcement bars.
Precast Concrete
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning system are constructed from steel reinforced concrete which has been precast as individual components and assembled together on-site.
Mixed-Structure
Utilizes distinct systems (e.g. steel, concrete, timber), one on top of the other. For example, a steel/concrete indicates a steel structural system located on top of a concrete structural system, with the opposite true of concrete/steel.
Composite
A combination of materials (e.g. steel, concrete, timber) are used together in the main structural elements. Examples include buildings which utilize: steel columns with a floor system of reinforced concrete beams; a steel frame system with a concrete core; concrete-encased steel columns; concrete-filled steel tubes; etc. Where known, the CTBUH database breaks out the materials used in a composite building’s core, columns, and floor spanning separately.

About Palm Tower
The Palm Tower, designed to be the centerpiece of Palm Jumeriah development, is a mixed-use luxury hotel and residential building destined to become an iconic landmark in Dubai’s skyline. The architectural concept was inspired by observing how a group of people gather under the protection of the shade of a palm tree. A collection of palm trees in ancient times provided a meeting point for traders, families and the community as it created a natural micro climate.
The Palm Tower, standing as a beacon in the middle of the Palm Jumeriah's entryway, flourishes as a palm leaf where the facades blossom at the top of the building. The glass facades peel off and blooms at the top to unveil “the fruit” located in the sky. The petal, which houses the highest panoramic restaurant on the Palm, will provide visitors with an exclusive dining experience in the sky. Amenities of Palm Tower's residences are also located near the building's crown, including a unique 360-degree infinity swimming pool. The facade symbolically represents the thick canopy of gorgeous bluish-green pinnate leaves that the palm tree features. Erect and ascending, the leaves are stiff and have sharp spines at their base, rising upward from the entrance of the hotel.
