The 5 Tallest Skyscrapers In The World That Are Unbelievable Major cities around the world are increasingly populated. So the architects are trying to build ever higher buildings. We propose you today to go on a fascinating journey to the discovery of the largest skyscraper in the world. 5. Taipei 101 (508 meters) Towering above the city like the gigantic bamboo stalk it was designed to resemble, Taipei 101 is impossible to miss. At 508m, Taipei 101 held the title of 'world's tallest building' for a number of years, though it now must be content with the world's tallest green building (as in eco-friendly, not envious). 4. One World Trade Center (541.3 m) At 1,776 feet tall, One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. Developed by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, this building sets new standards of design, construction, and prestige, and heralds the renaissance of Downtown Manhattan. Managed, operated and leased by The Durst Organization, One World Trade Center is the new icon of New York's skyline and the most recognized and desirable office address in the world. 3. Makkah Royal Clock Tower (601 m) Makkah Royal Clock Tower complex, also known as the Abraj Al-Bait Towers, located near Masjid Al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, is a mixed residential and hotel complex. The building structure spreads over seven towers erected above podiums. The tallest tower adorned with the Makkah Royal Clock stands 601m high above ground, which makes it one of the ten tallest skyscrapers in the world. 2. Shanghai Tower (632 m) The Shanghai Tower is a megatall skyscraper designed by Gensler and owned by a consortium of Chinese state-owned companies. It is the tallest of a group of three adjacent supertall buildings in Pudong, the other two being the Jin Mao Tower and the Shanghai World Financial Center. 1. Burj Khalifa (828 m) Soaring 828 meters above the metropolis of Dubai, the Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest building. The design for the 162-story tower combines local cultural influences with cutting-edge technology to achieve high performance in an extreme desert climate.
