The world's second tallest skyscraper has been announced - with the planet's highest nightclub.

The Burj Azizi in Dubai is set to be 725m (2,379ft) high, coming just behind its neighbor the Burj Khalifa, which is 830m (2,723ft).

Azizi Developments says construction of the $1.15 billion tower has already begun and is expected to be completed within four years, in 2028.

Sales for the skyscraper , planned to be over 131 stories, will launch in February 2025, although prices have yet to be announced.

It will feature a unique all-suite seven-star hotel inspired by seven cultural themes, alongside residences that include penthouses, apartments, and holiday homes.

The building will also boast a one-of-a-kind observation deck and adrenaline zone, as well as several world record-breaking features: the highest hotel lobby in the world on level 11, the highest nightclub on level 126, the highest observation deck on level 130, the highest restaurant in Dubai on Level 122, and the highest hotel room in Dubai on level 118.

The tower, which will be the only freehold property on Sheikh Zayed Road, will also include a vertical retail center over seven floors, a luxury ballroom, and a beach club.

Mr. Mirwais Azizi, Founder & Chairman of Azizi Developments, said: “Our investment in Burj Azizi, surpassing AED 6 billion, represents more than just the creation of an iconic structure it is a commitment to transforming Sheikh Zayed Road and elevating Dubai's skyline to new, unparalleled heights.

"Burj Azizi is not merely about its towering stature or prime location and with its innovative design and cutting-edge technology, this tower will offer ultra-luxury residences, a unique vertical shopping mall, the world’s highest observation deck, and a wealth of amenities and dining experiences, all set at extraordinary elevations.

"The seven-star hotel, crowned by the world’s highest lobby, will embody Dubai’s spirit, celebrating the world’s seven major cultures through its intricate interior design."
