Qatar bank eyes tower over 509 metres tall -magazine

DUBAI, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Qatar National Bank , the country's largest lender by market value, plans to build one of the world's tallest towers in the Qatari capital Doha to house its new headquarters, a magazine reported on Sunday.

The skyscraper, for which main contractors have been invited to express interest, would be taller than the 509-metre Taipei 101 tower in Taiwan, which is the world's tallest completed building, London-based weekly MEED reported in its latest issue.

The tower will have a total built-up area of 235,000 square metres, with five basement levels, MEED said without saying where it got the information.

Burj Dubai, being developed by Emaar Properties , will become the world's tallest building when it is completed in 2009.

61 floors for a 510m tall tower.......sounds like a huge crown/spire

Stephan23 · August 11th, 2008, 09:23 AM

MKTJ · August 11th, 2008, 02:30 PM

it doesnt look 500m tall , also its look more than 61 fl ...isnt it ?

Jim856796 · August 11th, 2008, 02:57 PM

If the tower rises 510 metres, why does it only have 61 floors?

newfvgffm · August 11th, 2008, 03:44 PM

per segment i count about 50 floors, esp. when u look at the video u see that 3 floors are separated with one of those "balconies"

so it could well be more than 500m.

Nice design.

MKTJ · August 11th, 2008, 03:50 PM

no , its not nice at all ...

Deng · August 11th, 2008, 11:05 PM

Would this building still count in terms of "tallest building?" According to wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...s_in_the_world

only buildings with continuously inhabitable floors are counted...do those "balconies" count?

***bizzybonita*** · August 11th, 2008, 11:35 PM

I like the old design

Densetsu · August 12th, 2008, 12:52 AM

A few snapshots from the video

amnesia · August 17th, 2008, 09:13 AM

I doubt it's going to be a huge crown, I think it's going to be very high floors.
