> The project goal is to become like Dubai with a 50m dollar investment Thanks, I needed a good laugh. To "become like Dubai" they'd need at least another 3 orders of magnitude on that investment. For reference, the university I worked at until last year recently renovated the building I was working in. It was a fairly standard-sized academic building for a small liberal arts campus—three stories, with roughly 3-8 classrooms on a side. The renovation was the replacement of its HVAC system, and adding a fairly small "bump-out" addition on one of the short sides, of roughly one medium-large classroom's width. It cost $35 million. $50 million would build maybe a couple of decent-sized buildings, or a handful of smaller ones. No skyscrapers. Nothing fancy. Certainly nothing like Dubai. (According to Wikipedia, when it was built, the Burj Khalifa alone cost $1.5 billion. With a "b".)
