Freedom Tower


It seems as if there is a race for the world's tallest building. I heard recently that the company that is designing the Freedom Tower has announced plans for a building in Dubai that is supposed to be the world's tallest building once it is complete. The company was previously touting that the Freedom Tower would be the world's tallest building, but not any longer.

According to Emaar:

Petronas Towers in Malaysia (452 meters) and the Chicago's Sears Tower (442 meters) are currently the world's highest man made towers. Recently China and the New York World Trade Centre have announced plans to exceed these records. Burj Dubai's height is a closely guarded secret but it will beat all records and on a scale that will be a dramatic testament to Dubai's faith in the future.

What is the Burj Dubai? Click on the link to check its website out. It is an unbelievable building. I love the looks of all of these structures.
