Three of 2015’s tallest skyscrapers

Some of the world’s most iconic examples of residential and commercial architecture are skyscrapers, and in 2015 there are set to be even more of these huge structures springing up all over the world. Here are some of the most exciting large buildings currently under construction.

Marina 101 – Dubai

The Marina 101 tower has its sights set on becoming the second tallest building in Dubai, reaching heights of 426 metres. As a 101-storey tower, the lower portion will be used as the first Hard Rock Hotel in the Middle East, allowing for the levels further up to accommodate holiday apartments and restaurants with beautiful views of the city.

Shanghai Tower – China

Currently in construction, this building is on track to become the world’s second-tallest building, surpassed only by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Shanghai Tower will be the tallest structure erected in China, offering an observation deck on the 124th floor for visitors to view the surrounding city.

Forum 66 Tower 2 – China

This will be the first half of a twin tower complex. Although its counterpart is currently on hold, Tower 2 will be capped with glowing lanterns that will stand out at night, offering a captivating view for all to see.
