Dubai will soon have the second tallest tower in the world as well, after the iconic Burj Khalifa that is 828 meters high (2,716.5 feet).

The announcement was made by CEO of leading firm Azizi Developments, Farhad Azizi, on Twitter on July 14. “It’s official: We are building what will be the second-tallest building in the world,” Farhad Azizi tweeted.

“This will mark a breakthrough achievement for the Azizi brand, and we couldn’t be prouder, especially looking back at our humble origins in Afghanistan, when my father started the company with $500 in 1989,” he adds.
