Anything You Can Build, We Can Build Higher! Dubai to Build Kilometre-high ‘Islamic’ Skyscraper

THE TELEGRAPH: Plans to construct what could become the world's tallest building, at more than a kilometre high, have been unveiled.

The Dubai developer Nakheel – the company that created man-made islands in the shapes of a palm tree and the world – said the structure would be the centre-piece of an inner-city harbour planned as the emirate's unofficial capital.

It would not comment on the exact height or cost of the Islamic design-inspired Nakheel Tower. The building will have "more than 200 floors" and be part of "a multi-billion pound development", the company said. New Plans for World’s Tallest Building Unveiled >>> | October 6, 2008
