The newest "world's tallest building" is under construction in Jeddah,  Saudi Arabia.
The Kingdom Tower will be a full kilometer (3281 feet) in height, over 500 feet taller than the current world's tallest building.

The comment blog below the article is one of the most entertaining I've ever read. It develops into an all out brawl between the muslim bloggers and the infidels.  lol
