competition for the Burj Dubai Feb 25, 2008
Just read that the Saudi´s are starting to build a 1.6 km. high building in Jeddah. Will Sheikh Mohammed come up with a new design you think?

1.6 km is probably impossible in this century.

A tower maybe, but a building?

Actually I take that back, don't think it's even possible for a tower. 1.6km is twice the height of Burj Dubai. :?

Actually your wrong. the "Mile High" tower has been on the drawing board for some time and will likely be built in Jeddah, and almost certainly withing the next 10 years.

The Km high tower is now starting adjacent to the IBT Shopping Mall

They are interested in building high towers,
they should look into more serious issues like water scarcity in the region.
