Dubai is preparing for a new record with over 100 floors and a height of 557 meters.
A huge residential skyscraper is being built in the Business Bay area of Dubai, which is expected to set a new record. Called "Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences", this project is planned to become one of the next architectural symbols of the city.
According to the project, the skyscraper will reach a height of 557 meters and will consist of more than 100 floors.
When completed, the building will be taller than the current tallest residential skyscraper, the Central Park Tower in New York, which is 472 meters high.
Thus, this new complex in Dubai will claim the status of the tallest residential skyscraper in the world.
The project is being implemented in partnership with Dubai's Binghatti Developers and New York-based jewelry and watch brand Jacob & Co.
**Design inspired by precious stones**
"Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences" is planned to stand out not only with its height, but also with its appearance.
When creating the silhouette of the skyscraper, inspiration was drawn from the complex mechanisms of Jacob & Co. watches and design elements of jewelry.
The upper part of the building will be decorated with rhombus-shaped spires. According to the idea of the project authors, they should resemble faceted precious stones against the backdrop of the Dubai skyline.
Thus, the project tried to combine modern architecture with jewelry design.
**Construction is scheduled to be completed next year**
In the newly published photos, you can see how the construction of the skyscraper is progressing. According to the source, construction work on the building is planned to be completed next year.
