When an investor from Qatar came forward the project was changed into a Tower complex with the tallest tower being 1400ft tall. Later on the request of Shaukat Aziz the tower was rescaled to 1500 ft (To make it taller than Petronas Towers) but the project never materialized.In fall 2005 KPT chairman expressed an intention of building a 1947ft tall tower which would be one of the tallest buildings in the world.
