Future Tallest Buildings

So here a list of the tallest planned, buildings under construction or already built skyscrapers. Just writing for random reasons. I searched Skyscraperpage and Skyscrapercity for information, but still skipped some unlikely buildings and also only featured buildings with a hight of 530m and higher.

Kingdom Tower (Jeddah) - 1000m+ - Planned
There were previous news on the building starting construction 3 weeks later, but it didn't. There are reasonable rumors, that there was a ground testing that gave caused more problems. Currently the project seems to stand still. But in summer Cityscape Jeddah might give it a chance for a real start.

Burj Khalifa (Dubai) - 828m - Build 2010
The currently tallest structure on earth has no thread by any skyscraper or even tower at the moment. It might change when KT starts, but for now it stays the tallest one.

India Tower (Mumbai) - 720m - Under Construction
The tallest building that is currently under construction. The working is still on ground level and the problem about India and skyscrapers is that it is hard to get news and updates.

Shizimen CBD Tower (Zhuhai) - 680m - Planned
Not much information

Sky City (4 cities in China) - 666m - Planned
With new technology it is planned to build 4 of these monsters in rapid speed in four major cities. Wether it is just vision or actually feasable soon is written in the stars.

Baietan Tower (Guangzhou) - 650m - Planned
Standing between Guangzhou and Foshan, a new business district where this tower is located will probably link both cities making them one even bigger one.

Pingan International Finance Centre (Shenzhen) - 648m - Under Construction
The Construction was slow when it started, but soon the project might catch up more speed.

Light Tower (Seoul) - 640m - Planned
More than unlikely, because South Korea yet disappointed a lot before with projects of similar height that never came true.

Shanghai Tower (Shanghai) - 632m - Under Construction
Probably the most exiting building at the moment, because it is fast rising at the moment and when it is finished it will take the second place for the tallest skyscraper for a while.

Tianlong Fortune Center (Nanning) - 628m - Planned

Abraj Al-Bait (Mecca) - 601m - Nearly Finished
The most massive hotel building in a city that features no other nameable skyscrapers due to the special situation the city is in with its millions of tourists.

151 Incheon Towers (Incheon) - 601m - Probably Cancelled or shortened
It was one of my favorite projects, but still South Korea is South Korea and the project will most likely not rise at all.

Shenzhen International Trade Center (Shenzhen) - 600m - Planned
I read today that it might need to get changed and shortened, but still there are no official statements. Just a matter of time to find out though.

Goldin Finance 117 (Tianjin) - 597m - Under Construction
The Construction is slow, but it will catch up speed soon i guess

Lotte World Tower (Seoul) - 555m - Unlikely

Doha Convention Center (Doha) - 551m - Hard to find any news

Freedom Tower (New York City) - 541m - Under Construction
It is growing fast and brings the World Trade Center back to New York.

Chow Tai Fook Centre (Guangzhou) - 530m - Under Construction
It is on ground working and slow, but may turn up the speed after CNY. Guangzhou has a huge building boom and just finished the tallest tower in the world (soon to be topped by Tokyo though)

Chow Tai Fook Binhai Center (Tianjin) - 530m - Planned
Preparation already started. When it gets build it stands about 60km away from Goldin Finance.

Skyscraperpage.com Maps

Skyscraperpage. com finally has a good working map system with a lot of highrise buildings in its archive. it was planned a long time before and aired finally. I like it a lot and for anyone interested in buildings its def. worth a look. ~

Burj Khalifa be prepared

So the news are not new that there are proposals for buildings that will be taller then burj khalifa, but in 3 weeks one of them is actually set into motion and will be constructed for real and not stay a vision. That Tower will be Kingdom Tower located in Jeddah. Saudi Arabia is stunning the world with its major project in Mecca already, where the most massive skyscraper is constructed. Now only about 60kms away there will rise this major building which is set to be over 1000m high. Some sources even say 1600m. The final design is yet to be announced, or at least i have not heard that this will stay the final design. This would become the first building over 250m in the city and overtower most likely everything around. The picture and the news are from skyscrapercity.com a forum i use to stay a lot. More details will come in the next weeks.

tallest clock tower here you come :)

biggest and highest clock

Finally i found a newer picture from the construction side. And soon this monster will be ticking :D

Killer Industries & Observation Tower

did it some time ago, but never uploaded yet

...and yes someone drew a plane in front of the WTC and smoke in the other one

Light Tower vs. Shanghai Tower

/left: Light Tower (640m) is proposed and probably will be finished by 2015 in Seoul, South Korea.

/right: The Shanghai Tower (632m) is already under construction and probably topped out by 2014 in Shanghai, China.

Those two are the highest buildings in the near future. They will not surpass the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, but still are giant projects. I like both projects, although the design of the Shanghai Tower could have been better for me. Which one do you guys like better? Hope for some comments :).

As OP / WTC + Willis Tower

As OP i have a few new moves which make it easier to build walls, at least faster. Still did it without flying. Badly i did an error on the Sears/Willis Tower. and made one side one block too long, which shouldnt be too obvious on a 100+ block high building. I used 1 block for every 5 meters.

Home World

2WTC - New York City

Shanghai World Financial Center

Tallest building i built (about 40-45 blocks high), yet, because i found a nice empty server with a nice OP and nice open huge map.

The Building from the ground

From Above


Not yet working water-elevator


Skybridge

SWFC-Sign

Hotel Burj

A nice view for the two observation decks

The Lobby

The Tower! But i couldn't make a spire, because i reached the end of world already. Didn't plan it properly...

Marina Bay Sands

Nah kinda.

Just after finishing Claire left. So did the building itself! A griefer came and hacked the whole map, every stone became mushrooms. iT was so funny, sadly the admin reload a backup that was before the building was built =(

Even more fucked up then the Falconcity of Wonders

another replica project in Dubai, which features replicas of Taipei 101, The Petronas Towers, Burj Dubai, Chrysler Building, Eiffel Tower... i kinda like it, but doubt it will be ever build.

My First Skyscraper In MyCityLife

Burj Dubai eröffnet

Ja der Burj Dubai ist nun eröffnet und ich werde mich weigern ihn anders zu nennen xP. Blöde Tower-Umbenennung. Der Sears Tower wird für mich schließlich auch immer der Sears Tower bleiben ;) Die offizielle Höhe beträgt nun 828m, also sogar 10 Meter höher als die Berechnungen.

Dubai gehts garnicht gut =/

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8381258.stm

viele meiner Lieblingsprojekte wurden schon durch die Krise gestoppt und jetzt sieht es noch viel schlechter aus. Aber solange es sich bis 2018 wieder erholt hat ;D

Burj Dubai

Burj Dubai hat seine volle Größe erreicht. =) Eröffnung ist im Januar und da sehr viele Bauarbeiten zu anderen Projekten durch die Wirtschaftskrise weggefallen sind, darf der Burj wohl den Titel für den mit Abstand größten Wolkenkratzer noch einige Zeit bei behalten.
