With its world's tallest building nearing completion, Dubai is embarking on an even more ambitious skyscraper: one that will soar more than 10 American football fields. That's about two-thirds of a mile or the height of more than three of New York's Chrysler Buildings stacked end-to-end.
The project will include a manmade inland harbor and 40 additional towers up to 90 floors high.
About 150 elevators will carry employees and workers to the Nakheel Tower's more than 200 floors. The building will be composed of four separate towers joined at various levels and centered on an open atrium.
The final height of Nakheel's proposed tower is likewise a secret, as is the price tag. The company would only say it will be more than a kilometer (3,281 feet) tall.

I had blogged a while back about this too. They just seem to be getting bigger and bigger!
Look how dwarfed the 90-floored towers look in comparison to the large one. In most cities, 90 stories is the tallest thing in the skyline.
