A huge skyscraper - now the world's tallest freestanding structure after surpassing the CN tower in September- in Dubai.
The final height is secret, but it is estimated to be at around 2,684, leaving enough room for approximately 162 habitable floors.
The building was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, who are known for their other famous designs including the Sears Tower in Chicago and the Freedom Tower in NY.

A 102 floor art-deco skyscraper in NYC. It stood as the world's tallest building for 41 years before being surpassed by the World Trade Center.
The Empire State Building is now once again the tallest structure in NYC and the second tallest in America.
The actual construction of the building started on St. Patrick's day, March 17. Because it opened during the Great Depression, much of its office space went unused and the building became known as the "Empty State Building".
The ESB holds many records, one less obvious one being the world's longest survived elevator fall, at 75 floors.
Floodlights that light the top of the building change seasonly and for different events.
The Empire State Building is pretty neat, if I should say so myself.
