Sure , theBurj Dubaitower looks amazingly tall , but it ’s final height — presently projected to be 2,300 understructure — is less than half that of a novel edifice contrive for Saudi Arabia . It ’s going to be 5,250 feet gamey . Yup , that ’s just 30 foot short of a mile marvelous : taller than anything under construction anywhere , and making it well the world ’s marvellous construction . Think they should stick by a television receiver antenna on the top and go for that extra 30 feet ? I sure do .

It ’s going to be build up in a new city near Jeddah on the Red Sea and is funded by billionaire Prince al - Walid bin Talal . He buy London ’s Savoy hotel for a nerveless $ 2.5 billion in 2005 . So you may distrust that there ’ll be a hotel in the construction somewhere . By my calculations , the tower will have somewhere between 320 and 350 floors , so perhaps that should be “ several hotel ” .
Not much is recognise about the inside information yet , other than the fact that it ’ll have two supporting flying - buttress towers to help keep it up ( both more than 800 foot high ) . It will also have advanced damping systems to stop the swaying at high-pitched floor from build masses ghastly , and it ’s pass away to need awful engineering to contend with freezing wind at the top and desert heat at the bottom .
It ’s so marvelous that much of the ferrying of material and expression workers will have to be by chopper . And that ’s just cool . [ Daily Mail ]
