HHHR Tower, also known as the Blue Tower, is a supertall skyscraper on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The construction of the 72-floor, 317-metre (1,040 ft) building started in 2006 and was completed in 2010. Designed by architect Al Hashemi, the building is primarily residential, with some commercial uses.[3]

When completed in 2010, HHHR Tower was the second-tallest residential building in the world, surpassed only by Q1 in Australia, which stands 323 m (1,060 ft) tall. As of 2022, HHHR Tower is the 16th-tallest residential building in the world and the sixth-tallest residential building in Dubai.[4] The tower comprises 454 residential apartments.[5]

The building was built by a joint venture between Al Ahmadiah Contracting and Trading Co., from the UAE and Hip Hing Construction Co. Ltd. from Hong Kong.[6] Another hallmark project by this team is the Masdar City in Abu Dhabi.[7][8]
