now officially the world's tallest building http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070913/wl_mideast_afp/uaedubaiconstructiontower 1,831.5 feet and still in progress. for a sense of scale The highest floor they've completed so far surpasses the spires of Sears Tower. Amazing.
Looks pretty lame to me.. What's the point of having one tall building in the middle of nowhere? This is what a skyline is supposed to look like: I guess for bragging rights.. Another worthless piece of crap: The unfinished Ryu Gyong Hotel in North Korea
Actually Dubai has many, many massive construction projects on high-rise buildings going on right now. I figure in several years they will have a pretty nice skyline, if not world class.
