01:09The Petronas Towers named after the Malaysian oil and gas company were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004
01:17At over 1,400 feet tall the Petronas Towers today are collectively the 17th and 18th tallest buildings
01:24Towers boast 88 floors built out of reinforced concrete and between the 41st and 42nd floors

01:49architecture, engineering, and technology have come
01:52Standing at 829.8 meters tall, the tallest building on the planet Earth is over half a mile high
01:59The Burj Khalifa has reigned as the world's tallest building for over a decade and cost one and a half billion dollars to complete

02:14And the Burj Khalifa has helped the country and city become well-known internationally for being extremely wealthy and luxurious
02:23Number 12 One World Trade Center
02:26After the terror attacks that took place in New York City on September 11, 2001
02:31The New York skyline was left without its tallest buildings
02:34But when a successor to those buildings was completed and opened in 2014, along with an incredible 9-11 memorial
02:41It provided New York City with a new culturally significant building
02:45The One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the entire Western Hemisphere and stands at
02:511,776 feet tall, a height alluding to the year the Declaration of Independence was signed
02:56The super tall skyscraper shares a name with the northern tower of the original World Trade Center
03:01And it's the centerpiece of the World Trade Center complex. Although the building's official name is the One World Trade Center
03:08It's colloquially referred to as Freedom Tower
03:11It's 94 stories tall and designed with a contemporary modern appearance and the project cost nearly four billion dollars to build
03:20Number 11 Shanghai Tower

03:40Shanghai Tower is a gigantic
03:42128 story skyscraper that stands 632 meters tall and with a height like that guests need to be able to make it to their floor

03:57The building is designed to be energy efficient and is composed of nine divisions that focus on everything from office space to shopping areas

04:20The renamed Jeddah Tower is a mega tall skyscraper
04:24That's planned to be a kilometer tall
04:26Found on the north side of the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
04:29The tower was making good progress on its construction until early 2018
04:33When it ran into issues with labor due to a series of mass arrests carried out by the Saudi's government
04:39Jeddah Tower's design was created by a prominent architect, Adrian Smith, who also designed the Burj Khalifa in Dubai
04:46Like the Burj Khalifa, Jeddah Tower takes on the neo-futurism style of architecture and looks like something from Gotham City
04:53The surrounding area of Jeddah Tower is being used for the development of the Jeddah Economic City

07:28Skyscrapers and the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
07:30Even though it already has the Petronas Twin Towers on that list seeks to add another one
07:35The building has been under construction since 2014 and is well on its way to being completed in 2022
07:41Known as Merdeka 118, this mega tall skyscraper is a hundred and eighty eight stories tall and stands almost 650 meters tall
07:50If completed Merdeka 118 will be the tallest building in Malaysia and the second tallest building on the planet
07:56Surpassed only by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai
07:59Funded by the Malaysian government in an effort to push economic opportunity and growth
08:03The gigantic building will have around 400,000 square meters of space that will be used for hotels, living spaces and business offices
08:11It will include recreation and entertainment facilities as well as shopping areas
08:16The highest floors will be used as an observation deck to view the cityscape
08:20The design of the tower resembles a variety of diamond-shaped planes that are meant to symbolize the diversity of the Malaysian population
08:27A country of numerous ethnic and cultural groups
08:32Number six, Burj Al Arab
08:35Known as the Burj Al Arab, Arabic for the Tower of the Arabs
08:38This gorgeous hotel is an iconic building located in Dubai, a city known around the world for its lavish resorts and incredible wealth
08:46The luxury hotel is operated by Jumeirah Hotel Group and it's among the tallest hotels on the planet
08:52Seated on a man-made island off the coast of the Jumeirah Beach, Burj Al Arab is a testament to human ingenuity and architecture
08:59The building is connected to the city via a private bridge from the island
09:03Its design is meant to mimic the sail of a ship and has earned it a number of nautical nicknames
09:09The hotel boasts 56 floors and stands 320 meters tall
09:13It was constructed between 1994 and 1999 at a cost of about 1 billion US dollars
09:19Aside from being on its own private artificial island, the hotel has a number of luxury features
09:25Including a shuttle service that uses Rolls Royces and a helicopter
09:28It also hosts six gourmet restaurants that offer beautiful city and ocean views
09:33With a five-star hotel rating, many travelers have described the Burj Al Arab as the best hotel in the world
09:41Number 5. Burj Murabak Al Kabir
09:45Madinat Al Harir, meaning Silk City in Arabic, is an ultra-modern urban area in Kuwait
09:51That's the location of the Burj Murabak Al Kabir, a mega-tall skyscraper that's the tallest building in the world
09:58The only thing is that neither the city nor the skyscraper actually exists
10:02They're both part of a massive urban development project proposed by the government of Kuwait
10:07The building is expected to be completed around the year 2030 and would become the world's tallest building
10:12Surpassing the current tallest, the Burj Khalifa, by about 200 meters
10:17The complex surrounding the tower would include a range of amenities and features
10:21Including a large nature reservation, business space, athletic areas, and many others related to entertainment, health, and education
10:28According to the proposal, the full city surrounding the mega-tall skyscraper would take 25 years to complete
10:34And would cost as much as $600 billion
10:37The building is projected to stand 1,001 meters tall
10:41A number meant to represent the Middle Eastern-Folktale connection known as the 1,001 Arabian Nights
10:47It would have quite a few floors and could have a triple-decker elevator
10:50In order to withstand the intense winds that occur at altitude, the building is also designed to have three interlocking sections
10:56That twist 45 degrees in order to keep the building stable
11:04At nearly 2,000 feet tall, the Al-Raj Al-Bait Tower is the tallest building in the entire Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
11:11And is one of the tallest buildings on Earth
11:14Its name translates into English as Towers of the House
11:17And what is that house exactly?
11:19It's Mecca, the location of Islam's most sacred site and the world's largest mosque
11:24The Al-Raj Al-Bait is a large complex composed of seven skyscrapers in the heart of Mecca
11:29Because countless Muslims make a pilgrimage to Mecca every year as part of a sacred duty known as the Hajj
11:35The government of Saudi Arabia decided to build the complex and its towers
11:39In an effort to modernize the city for an international market
11:42The iconic clock tower, known officially as the Makkah Royal Clock Tower
11:46Is the tallest pillar of the Al-Raj Al-Bait and boasts the largest clock face in the world
11:51The cost of the complex totaled around 15 billion US dollars
11:55Making it the second most expensive building in history
11:57Surpassed only by the Great Mosque of Mecca
12:00Which lies just meters away from the clock tower and cost around 100 billion dollars to build
12:09With its highly unique shape and iconic place in the Seattle skyline
12:13The Space Needle is a landmark of the Pacific Northwest that's visited by thousands of people every day
12:19The Space Needle was originally built in the Seattle center ahead of the 1962 World's Fair
12:24Which was attended by well over 2 million people
12:27Once upon a time it was the world's tallest structure on the west side of the Mississippi
12:31With a height of over 600 feet tall, the Space Needle is a breathtaking sight to behold
12:36The structure weighs almost 9,000 metric tons
12:39And was designed to stand up against 200 mile per hour winds and a 9.0 magnitude earthquake
12:44Seeing how it's basically a giant metal needle shooting up into the sky
12:48The building is also equipped with 25 lightning rods
12:52If you ever take a trip to Seattle, the Space Needle is pretty much a must-see
12:56Many tourists head to the Space Needle immediately when they visit the northwestern city
13:00The observation deck that stands 160 meters above the ground
13:03Provides guests with unparalleled landscapes of downtown Seattle
13:07Nearby mountain ranges and oceanic views
13:10The design of the structure is actually the result of combining ideas from two different architects
13:15Edward E. Carlson's design including a large balloon tethered to the ground
13:19Which inspired the gentle slope of the base
13:21While John Graham's idea of a UFO inspired the observation deck
13:26Fortunately, the resulting structure turned out to be Seattle's most iconic building
13:34The Shard is a gigantic 72-story skyscraper that dominates the skyline of London
13:40Designed by renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano
13:43The Shard is not only the tallest building in the entire United Kingdom
13:46It's also the seventh tallest building in all of Europe, including Russia
13:50With a height of over 300 meters, the Shard was once the tallest building in Europe
13:54Before it was overtaken by new buildings in Moscow
13:57Also known fittingly as the Shard of Glass for its crystalline shape and appearance
14:02The building's construction began in 2009 and took three years to complete
14:06Some months after its opening, the site revealed the view from the Shard
14:10An unbelievable sky view that attracts tourists from all over the world
14:14If you ever wanted to stare at the world from hundreds of meters in the air while going to the bathroom
14:18Floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to do just that
14:21The design of the Shard was inspired by a combination of the nearby railway lines
14:26The spires in London depicted in 18th century paintings by Canaletto
14:30And the masts of passing ships
14:33The name of the Shard came from a criticism that its construction would be like a shard of glass
14:37Driving through the heart of historic London
14:40The building is built out of 11,000 glass panels that cover a surface area of more than 600,000 square feet
14:46Still, looking at it today, it's hard to say that it doesn't add a sense of glamour to the London skyline
14:55Number one on this list has to go to the one and only Empire State Building
14:59Located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City
15:02The 102-story tall skyscraper was built in 1930 and cost 41 million dollars to build
15:08That's the equivalent to over 560 million today
15:11Considering the Empire State Building was built almost a century ago
15:14It doesn't quite measure up to modern skyscrapers in terms of technology or heights
15:19It's well on its way to falling off most lists of the world's tallest buildings
15:24Before 1970, when the World Trade Center was first built, it was the world's tallest building
15:29Still, the building is the most recognized part of New York City skyline
15:33Designed by an architectural firm called Shreve Lamb and Harmon
15:37The building was named after the Empire State, a nickname for the state of New York
15:41The skyscraper stands almost 1,500 feet tall, and its design wasn't taken lightly
15:46The plans for the skyscraper were changed 15 times in order to guarantee that it would be the tallest building in the world
15:52Impressively, the building only took a little over a year to build, having started construction in March of 1930
15:59And opening to the public in May 1931
16:02And while the building has brought incredible amounts of money in today, that wasn't always the case
16:07The original owners of the Empire State Building didn't see any profits into the 1950s
16:12Still, the Empire State Building is an American cultural icon
16:15It's visited by countless people every year, and has appeared in some of the most highly praised movies and TV shows
