According to its engineer , this will be the tallest skyscraper in the world by the end of March of 2013 . Its name is Sky City , and its 2,749 feet ( 838 cadence ) distributed in 220 floors will develop in just 90 24-hour interval in Changsha metropolis , by the Xiangjiang river . Ninety days !
It ’s not a joke . accord to the building ship’s company , the skyscraper will be built in just 90 24-hour interval at the unbelievable rate of five floors per day .
It ’s unvoiced to believe , but they claim the construction has been plan by some of the engineers who previously worked at the Burj Khalifa . It is also the same business firm that builta full 30 - level hotel in 15 days — which yes , is still stand up and in utter workings condition .

Foundation work is set out at the end of the month , once the Chinese self-confidence give the final go in front to the project .
Pre-fab magic
They will be able-bodied to attain this impossibly fast construction pace by using a prefabricated modular technology developed by panoptic Sustainable Building , a companionship that has built 20 tall structure in China so far , including thethat 30 - write up hotel .
Since they built that hotel , the society has been perfecting their engineering science , which they are now claiming will turn their project into the humanity ’s improbable skyscraper in just three month . That ’s a whooping five floor per mean solar day , which seems just absurd . According toConstruction Week Online , the company is very serious about it . The fourth-year VP of the Broad Group , Juliet Jiang , has publicly said that they “ will go on as planned with the completion of five level a day . ”
Record numbers
Unlike the Burj Khalifa , the tower will be mostly habitable . Its last height will be 2,749 feet high ( 838 meters ) . compare that to the Burj ’s 2,719 invertebrate foot ( 829 meters ) , which include the spire at the top resulting in a sum of 163 floors .
Sky City will use an stupefying 220,000 tons of steel . The structure will be able-bodied to house 31,400 the great unwashed of both “ high and downcast income communities ” . The company says that the residential orbit will use 83 - percentage of the construction , while the sleep will be offices , schools , hospitals , shops and eating house . People will move up and down using 104 high speed elevators .
The record human body do n’t stop there : in gain to the 90 - day mental synthesis time — as fight back to the 210 twenty-four hours initially reported by the Chinese medium — the company take it will cost $ 1,500 per substantial meter as opposed to the Burj ’s $ 15,000 per square meter , all thanks to the prefab engineering science .
They also lay claim it will be able-bodied to nurture earthquake of a 9.0 order of magnitude and be resistant to kindle for “ up to three 60 minutes , ” as well as be extremely energy efficient thanks to thermal insulation , four - panned window and different air conditioning technique that were already used in their late constructions .
To be honest , it all seems like a tall tarradiddle to me — no pun think . Although the credentials of the company seem to be quite serious , one thing is to build a 30 - story hotel in 15 daylight and the other is to built the turgid skyscraper in the world in 90 24-hour interval . It just boggles the creative thinker . peradventure it was April ’s muggins in China yesterday .
Whatever it is , we will discover it in March . If it ’s confirmed , the time - lapse television are go to be epic . [ Broad Sustainable BuildingviaConstruction Week Online ]
Update : These are the society main office in China . They call them Broad Town . Yes , that ’s a huge Pyramids of Egypt at the bottom .
