Another staggering skyscraper will soon rise in Dubai and is projected to become the second-tallest building in the world, after the iconic Burj Khalifa, Invest-Gate reports.

The developer did not reveal the name, or specific height but informed Khaleej Times earlier that it will be constructed at a prime location on the Sheikh Zayed Road.

This was confirmed in a recent tweet by Farhad Azizi, CEO of Dubai-based Azizi Developments, “It’s official, we are building what will be the second-tallest building in the world.”

“As for the name of this new tower, it’s still pending, but it will ultimately represent the Azizi Developments brand,” Farhad tweeted, adding: “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.”

The plan to build the tower was first revealed during Cityscape Dubai in November last year. At the time, the announcement was to make the second-tallest tower in Dubai.

The plan is to build the second-tallest building in the world that could surpass Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The 118-story skyscraper in Southeast Asia stands at 678.9m – not tall enough to surpass the 828m Burj Khalifa record, but more than enough to push the 632m Shanghai Tower into third place.
