The next building will be the burjdhuwman said:What's the next tallest building going up? Freedom Tower? IBC? Burj Dubai?
DiggerD21 said:Hamburg's Town Hall (construction finished 1897) is classified as a highrise by some (incl. emporis) and is 112m high making it higher than the Manhattan Life and the St.Paul Building.
Philadelphia's City Hall (construction end 1901) with it's 167m is also classified as highrise at emporis and would be the highest "scraper" until completion of the Singer Building.
However I acknowledge that these two are special cases and couldn't be counted as real highrises as the purpose of the tower itself can be compared to church towers instead of real skyscrapers.![]()
