The Royal Tower, larger than the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, is being built in Saudi Arabia and will be the first building on the planet whose height is close to a kilometer. It will house luxury condominiums, office space, an observatory, a Four Seasons hotel and the world's tallest terrace. The construction of the skyscraper officially began last year, construction should be completed in 2019.

The construction of the 121-story Shanghai Tower in China, which began back in 1993, was completed earlier this year, and finishing work is now underway. However, millions of people have already watched the view from above, thanks to the dizzying images taken by two Russian daredevils who illegally climbed to the top last year.

Between the design of the largest shopping center and the tallest building in the world, someone decided that Dubai should have a luxurious building that looks like an ordinary residential building. The planned "inner city" will have 4 towers connected by a sky bridge and a premium theater with 1,800 seats.

Already in 2016, the construction of the Agora Garden building will be completed, which will be a compromise between the creations of mother nature and man. The sinuous 20-story structure will be green in every sense, with balconies on each floor supporting gardens, and embedded life support systems including solar panels and rainwater recycling.

The 117-story World One skyscraper will be the tallest residential building on the planet and undoubtedly the tallest building in Mumbai. India's richest people will live in 300 luxurious four-room apartments. The design of the rooms was designed by the Giorgio Armani studio.

Closest to ground on this list, yet equally mind-blowing, KARSARC in Saudi Arabia looks more like a James Bond villain's lair than a cosmopolitan hub. The futuristic design is the brainchild of iconic architect Zaha Hadid, who took the interlacing of hexagonal cells as a basis.

China has only recently begun construction on a 730-metre center and it still has a long, long way to go. But, if the pointed $4.5 billion project is completed on schedule in 2020, it will be the tallest building in China and the third tallest building in the world.

Significantly taller than all other buildings in Seoul, the 556-meter Lotte World Tower will soar above the skyline when it is completed in 2016. The building will contain shops, offices, apartments, hotels and an observation deck.

12. Apparently, this hotel, basking among the rocks and lakes, is next on the list of places to stay in China. Like the Dawang mountain resort, Songjang will be built right on the walls of the quarry, with a waterfall running down its façade. Well, if you can’t enjoy the view from one of the upper floors, go to the lower ones - they will be under water. (© tudointerestante)
