DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - With its world's tallest building nearing completion, Dubai said Sunday it is embarking on an even more ambitious skyscraper: one that will soar the length of more than 10 American football fields.

Model of Nakheel Tower
The tower, which will take more than a decade to complete, will be the centerpiece of a sprawling development state-owned builder Nakheel plans to create in the rapidly growing "New Dubai'' section of the city. Foundation work has already begun.The area is located between two of the city's artificial palm-shaped islands, which Nakheel also built. The project will include a manmade inland harbor and 40 additional towers up to 90 floors high.About 150 elevators will carry residents and workers to the Nakheel Tower's more than 200 floors, the company said.
The building will be composed of four separate towers joined at various levels and centered on an open atrium.As part of government-run conglomerate Dubai World, Nakheel has played a major role in creating modern-day Dubai, a city that has blossomed from a tiny Persian Gulf fishing and pearling village into a major business and tourism hub in a matter of decades.
Besides the growing archipelago of man-made islands for which it is best known, Nakheel is responsible for a number of the city's malls, hotels and hundreds of apartment buildings. The company said the new project is inspired by Islamic design and draws inspiration from sites such as the Alhambra in Spain and the harbor of Alexandria in Egypt.
But Dubai is already home to the world's tallest building, even if it remains unfinished. That skyscraper, the Burj Dubai, or Dubai Tower in Arabic, is being built by Nakheel's chief competitor, Emaar Properties.
Emaar has kept the final height of the silvery steel-and-glass tower a closely guarded secret, saying only that it stood at a "new record height'' of 2,257 feet at the start of last month.
It's due to be finished next September.The final height of Nakheel's proposed tower is likewise a secret, as is the price tag.The company would only say it will be more than a kilometer (3,281 feet) tall.
