Drive the District:

Currently under construction near Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Kingdom Tower is set to be the world’s tallest building and its first kilometer-high skyscraper upon its expected completion in 2017.

Though scaled down from its initial one-mile proposed height, the icicle-like structure still spews a stream of staggering stats. The $1.25 billion wonder will stand at least 568 feet taller than the world’s current tallest building (the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates) and is expected to boast more than 200 floors serviced by 59 elevators (including some traveling at up to 10 meters per second).
