What will be the highest towers of tomorrow? Focus on ongoing projects and constructions to be completed by 2020.
You probably had to realize that, skyscrapers grow like mushrooms ... Especially in some parts of the globe like Asia and the Middle East! It’s been a little less than a year than the second highest round in the world, Tower , is finished that it will be far exceeded by newcomers by the end of 2020!
You will have understood, this year several tower projects that reach dizzying heights have been unveiled to the public... Heights that can reach for one of them more than 1000 meters, which was unimaginable a few decades ago! There is only one to compare the highest current skyscrapers: they measure on average 114 meters higher than the highest towers of the previous decade!
Most of these new towers will be in China as in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, China wants to aim ever higher and always in a spectacular way. At present, however, it is Saudi Arabia who makes her speak with her Kingdom , this tower that will be the first in the world to reach 1000 m high !
This building, whose colossal construction began in March 2014, is expected to be delivered in 2018. Kingdom will then be the highest tower in the world over a little less than 200 meters tour Burj Khalifa , which is currently the highest human construction ever built.
In these future projects, we also note the arrival of Wuhan Greenland Center which will occupy the third place among these towers with vertiginous heights. With a height of 636 meters, it will only exceed a few meters the Tower then completed in 2014. We're saying Wuhan Greenland Center will host offices and a luxury hotel.
Another trick that makes her talk Suzhou Zhongnan Center currently under construction in China should reach the world rank of the highest skyscrapers with a little less than 730 meters high...
You will have noticed, the United States is no longer the market leaders, the last one, and inaugurated this year, the One World Trade Center from New York, is already in seventh place with "only" 541 meters high! In a few years, the highest towers in the United States will no longer be part of this great world ranking!
Most of these towers under construction will only be around 2020, because for some of them, architects still don’t know how to build and develop the elevators which will allow access to observation posts...
Pending the delivery of each of them, you can always go to the highest observation post located on the 121st floor of the Tower where you can see the horizon up to 50 km! We're far from the 300 meters of our dear iron lady, Eiffel Tower ! Photo credit: Gizmodo
