World’s Tallest Building, Burj Khalifa / Dubai, Might Be Surpassed In The USA (I doubt it) http://www.tssbulletproof.com/worlds-tallest-building

Presently, the record holder for the world’s tallest building is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai at 2,722 feet. However, a New York-based architecture firm may have discovered a loophole to achieve the record for world’s tallest building without the red tape of New York’s zoning laws. Rather than build a single tower that extends the height needed to reach the record, Oiio proposes a 4,000-foot-long horseshoe-shaped structure. If built, the building nicknamed “Big Bend” could surpass Burj Khalifa as the longest/tallest building in the world.

Designer Ioannis Oiaonomou says the building’s design is inspired by elevators that can move both vertically and horizontally. It features two narrow glass towers connected by an arc at the top. The building has been proposed to stand tall at the edge of Central Park. While the design is only a concept at this point, Oiio is actively seeking investors to bring the reality to life.
