The world’s highest skyscraper is located in Dubai. It is currently also building the second-tallest.

The tallest tower in the world is already located amid Dubai’s enormous skyline. It will soon welcome the second-tallest person in the world as well.

While its developer awaiting approval from Dubai authorities, particularly the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA).

Which is engaged in planning for “supertall” buildings, the Burj Azizi’s exact height was not revealed when construction first began in January of this year.

But on Wednesday, the real estate company Azizi Developments revealed that its skyscraper.

Which would be an incredible 725 meters (2,379 feet) tall, will soar over all but one of the nearby sites.

Azizi Developments chairman and founder Mirwais Azizi told CNN in a written statement.

We had plans for two designs one for the taller, now-authorized 725 meters, and the other for the initially allowed height of 526 meters.

When the developer started the preparation work earlier this year, it kept its “options open for both situations.

But now that the building’s more ambitious proposal has been approved, more work is well started on the piling and foundations, according to Azizi.

The 131-story tower will have a seven-floor “vertical” shopping center, an all-suite luxury hotel, and flats.

Situated in Dubai’s World Trade Center neighborhood on Sheikh Zayed Road, Burj Azizi will remain over 340 feet shorter than the nearby Burj Khalifa, which is 2,717 feet tall.

However, it will easily surpass Marina 101 (1,394 feet), the current holder of the title of second-tallest in the city, in local competition.

When completed, it will also surpass Merdeka 118 in Malaysia, which is 2,227 feet tall, as the second-tallest building in the world.

The skyscraper is predicted to set many records, including the world’s tallest hotel lobby (on level 11), the world’s highest nightclub (on level 126) and the world’s highest observation deck (on level 130), according to Azizi Developments.

According to the developer, the skyscraper will also set records for the tallest restaurant in Dubai.

(At.mosphere, located on the 122nd story, will be higher than the Burj Khalifa’s 122nd floor restaurant).

And the highest hotel room in the city, located on the 118th floor of the tower.

Azizi stated in a press statement that more than 6 billion dirham ($1.6 billion) had been invested in the project.

The city is accustomed to magnificent buildings. Many more are in the process of being built. 

When the Franck Muller Aeternitas Tower opens in 2027, it aims to be the highest residential clock tower in the world. 

Ciel Dubai Marina, which is due to be finished later this year, is anticipated to be the tallest hotel in the world.

At 1,952 feet, the Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences is expected to become the third tallest building in Dubai and the tallest residential structure in the world.

Apartments at Burj Azizi are anticipated to go on sale in February 2025, with completion scheduled for 2028.
