Mega 3D Studios's video: Skyscrapers Size Comparison

The competition between the world countries to hold on their grounds the tallest buildings in the world has been on the rise in recent years. New technologies and developed materials have deemed the extraordinary heights possible. With the world’s tallest building now, Burj Khalifa in Dubai, rising 828 meters above ground, almost double the height of the Petronas Towers, in Kuala Lumpur, which used to be the world’s tallest, no more than 20 years ago, you can quite tell the difference. Jeddah Tower (1000m) – Jeddah Saudi Arabia Tallest building in the world Yes, you have seen it right. The Gulf strikes again. The world’s ‘new’ highest building, it seems, will become a reality in 2019, finally surpassing Dubai’s 828-meter skyscraper. The tower will not just be the highest but the first to hit the 1km benchmark. The tower was designed by non-other than the American architect Adrian Smith, the designer of one of the tallest buildings in the world, Burj Khalifa. The tower will have 167 floors, viewing the red sea, and it will have a speedy elevator, the first of its kind. It will include office spaces, hotel, residential apartments, and retail space. Just like Burj Khalifa and the under-construction Wuhan Greenland Center, the plan of the tower will adopt the tripod or Y-shape. Apparently, this the farthest the world of architecture and construction could get on achieving optimum stability for mega high-rises. So, if things go as expected, Jeddah Tower will be taking Burj Khalifa’s title 10 years after the later has seized from Taiwan’s Taipei 101. Do you think the 1-kilometer-high Jeddah Tower will be losing its title as soon?
