Since 2009 the world’s tallest building has been in Dubai. The Burj Khalifa has stood as an icon for the region, and been featured in numerous movies and popular culture.
Now, Dubai is building the second tallest, less than two miles away from the Burj Khalifa. Called the Burj Azizi, the 131-story skyscraper will be 340 shorter than the tallest, but still be astronomically tall, reaching well over 2,300 feet into the air.
With over 130 floors, the enormous tower will feature luxury apartments and a range of amenities, like the world’s highest nightclub, highest restaurant, and a one-of-a-kind observation deck and an ‘adrenaline zone’, which we can only imagine includes some sort of height-defying stunts. With a slim, stepped-back design, it lacks the organic form of the Burj Khalifa, going for a more traditional form.
The building is already under construction, and plans to complete by 2028. Read more on CCN Style.
