Keeping up with NYC rivals.
Dubai -
Projects ongoing rn in the top ten include Ciel Tower which will be at number 7 when completed at 365.5 M / 1,199 ft tall (will also be worldâs tallest hotel). And City Tower 1, which will sit at number 9 when completed at 358 M / 1,175 ft.
(tell me if I missed some projects. No the Burj Bingatti was not missed, itâs a proposal at this point and doesnât even have a confirmed height)
