The history of skyscrapers in Dubai began with the construction of the 149-metre (489 ft) Dubai World Trade Centre in 1979, which is regarded to be the first skyscraper in the city. At the time of its completion, it also stood as the tallest building in the Middle East. Since 1999, and especially from 2005 onwards, Dubai has been on an extremely large skyscraper building boom, with all 28 of its buildings over 200 metres (656 ft) tall completed after 1999.
Dubai currently has 390 completed highrises, but that number will increase greatly in the near future. With 321 high rises currently under construction, and 551 planned high-rises, Dubai's skyline is rapidly growing. In addition, Dubai is expected to be the site of more buildings with 100 floors or more than any other city in the world by 2015. As well as it will have the most number of Skyscrapers taller than 200 meters (656 ft), surpassing New York City and Hong Kong.
No places all over the world will surpass Dubai madness in Skyscrapers.
