I found nothing like this after searching and thought i would just create the thread, so this can be discussed here, what project is likely, what not etc. I am not sure if this is the right section for it, if not mods can just move it where they want it too. (now i have the right section^^) But enough introduction here we go with the ones we know of:
1001m Burj Mubarak al Kabir - Kuwait (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=339039)
the project seems yet visionary and other forumers already stated in the thread that this won't happen before other infrastructure projects happened. in the next few years it seems unlikely
1000m Kingdom Tower - Jeddah (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=525819)
Also called Mile-High Tower, the height ranges from 1000m to 1600m. The thread is on prep and this building is right now the most likely one to happen, but still i am sceptic about it.
1000m Nakheel Tower - Dubai (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=722506)
cancelled
965m Sewun IFC - Seoul (no active thread)
edit: cancelled
850m One Dubai - Dubai (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=620512)
not yet cancelled, but there weren't much news and it also seems unlikely that this happens in near future in my opinion
(from quicklinks page)
other possible candidates:
500m - Yujiapu Financial Area Supertall (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=745900)
"According to some rumors, the tower will seek to become China’s tallest skyscraper." -zorg
also here (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=76615265&postcount=121)
720m - India Tower
If they raise the height there is a possibility for it being taller, but unlikely
---------------------
let the discussion begin
i'm optimistic that by 2015 a building will be under construction that will take the record from burj khalifa and that by 2025 its finished
