1 tourist destination in the Arab Emirates’ largest city. The World’s Tallest Skyscrapers, pre-Dubai Creek Towerįor the time being, the world’s tallest skyscraper, at least until completion of construction work on the Dubai Creek Tower, is the Burj Khalifa, the symbol and no. In Dubai, they are now ready to overcome another psychological barrier: 1,000 metres, with the Dubai Creek Tower, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava.
But this supremacy seems destined not to last too much longer.
In recent years, the record was firmly snatched by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai which, topping out at 828 metres, has held the record since 2010. In this new Millennium, the famous Taipei 101, in the Taiwanese capital, shattered the psychological threshold of 500 metres. Consider that, just a century ago, the world’s tallest building was the Woolworth Building in New York: at 241 metres high, it was 13% taller than the previously record-holder, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, also in New York. The race to build the world’s tallest skyscraper never ends, with more and more impressive heights reached.
