Burj dubai tower

I have just watched an excellent documentary about the building of this new skyscraper and the technology borrowed from other skyscrapers in order for it to be built an estimated 818 m (2,684 ft) tall. (the official height is currently secret)

Does anyone know if there are any other skyscrapers planned or in production that will be even higher than this?

Where do you think the next future tallest tower will be built after this one?

Hey there,

I found this on Wikipedia (so take it with a grain of salt!)

Several other major projects in the region may vie for the title of tallest structure. These other projects are in various states of planning and/or construction:

* One of Burj Dubai's potential competitors is the proposed Murjan Tower, in Manama, Bahrain. Designed by the Danish architects Henning Larsens Tegnestue A/S, it is expected to be 1,022 m (3,353 ft) in height with 200 floors.[20]

* Also potentially competing with Burj Dubai is the proposed 1,001 m (3,284 ft) Burj Mubarak al-Kabir to be erected in Kuwait as part of a massive development project called Madinat al-Hareer (City of Silk). The project also includes an Olympic stadium, residences, hotels, and retail facilities. However, the project may take 25 years to complete.[21]

* Another proposed tower which may surpass the height of Burj Dubai, is Al Burj, on a site near Dubai Marina. Speculation has suggested various heights between 700 m (2,297 ft) and 1,200 m (3,937 ft), but the developer is keeping the final height tightly under wraps. If built, it will be only 22 km (14 mi) from the Burj Dubai site.

* The Mile-High Tower, a recently announced skyscraper planned for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, would be almost twice as tall as Burj Dubai if completed as planned by Riyadh-based Kingdom Holdings.
