The Mukaab Will Be the World’s Largest Building
Saudi Arabia has a project named the Mukaab. This project is set to redefine architectural boundaries as the world’s largest structure.
The United Arab Emirates hosts many important buildings. It seems that the country will never stop building new hallmarks. Besides the tallest residential buildings and other new projects, we are now excited about the longest cantilever that will be built. The Japanese company Nikken Sekkei designed the building, and Ithra Dubai developed it later. The project involves two towers that will be horizontally connected.

The design companies stated that their inspiration comes from the contemporary luxury style and modern architecture. Once someone mentions luxury, there is no doubt that everyone thinks of the UAE and its buildings. The longest cantilever, One Za’abeel, offers a perfect location, the powerful heartbeat of Dubai, luxury residential buildings, and many more.

For sure, the longest cantilever will become one of the landmarks of Dubai because One Za’abeel is not just a building. It offers ultra-luxury hospitality, a panoramic view of both the old and new city, a sky pool, and places to socialize. Dubai’s longest cantilever is near Dubai’s Central Business District, the Gold Souks of Deira, and the International Airport.
