Broad Sustainable Building (BSB) a Chinese construction firm has set out to build the world’s tallest building. But the building’s height isn’t the most remarkable thing about it according to CNN:

• It took five years to build the 828 meter Burj Khalifa, pictured above, and the current record holder for the tallest building.
• BSB plans to build a 838 meter building, and they play to do it in 90 days.
• The company is renowned for its speed. It built a 30-story hotel in 360 hours last year.
• It achieves its speed by prefabricating components at its factory.
• Most of the planned construction project, tentatively named Sky City, will be built before the planned breaking ground ceremony in November. The building will be up by January 2013.
• It will have 1 million square meters of usable space and 104 elevators. It will also contain the world’s highest hotel.
