Urbanization of large cities led to the fact that the area of the house became less and less, but the number of floors, on the contrary, grew. Since the erection of the first skyscraper in 1885 between the developed countries of the world there is an unspoken rivalry: who will build the tallest building in the world. Today, the number of super-skyscrapers, whose height exceeds 300 m, has come close to a hundred. One of them is the Rose Tower.

The Skyscraper The Rose Tower was built in Dubai on the Sheikh Zayd Road in the United Arab Emirates . The building has a symbolic height - 333 m, which is divided into 72 floors. In 2015, according to the estimates of the international organization - the Council for High-Rise Buildings and the Urban Environment - the Rose Tower in height among the super-skyscrapers was:
- on the 55th place in the world;
- on 42nd place in Asia.
The initial project envisaged the construction of a 380-meter-high building, but the subsequent design stages somewhat reduced the number of floors.
