New biggest tower in the world

Has anybody seen this yet. Absolutely mind blowing...

Can you imagine designing something like that. I've just read an article on it. It's things like how the lifts work without taking up most of the tower space.

What happens if there's a fire on the 50th floor!? Like you say, cleaning the windows , or when it gets hammered by the desert winds.

Telly you what, I don't think I fancy going up to the top floor.

so how tall is it going to be?

They're keeping the final height a secret for now. I think it's so nobody plans one ever-so slightly taller but it's reckoned to be over 2600 ft.

That said, there are much bigger towers being planned - none in the West. If big buildings are a sign of wealth, well it looks like the tide has well and truly turned.
