The second lift, of 900 tonnes, is scheduled for October. This will complete the Link structure to reach its final length of 226 metres and thus “break an international record for the longest cantilevered building in the world”.

The work was carried out over 12 days using one of the heaviest lifts in the region - at around 8,500 tonnes. More than 110 special jacks and heavy-duty strand jacks were used for the operation. The mixed-use development is expected to be completed in late 2021. Image Credit: Courtesy Ithra Dubai
