DUBAI, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Qatar National Bank , the country's largest lender by market value, plans to build one of the world's tallest towers in the Qatari capital Doha to house its new headquarters, a magazine reported on Sunday.
The skyscraper, for which main contractors have been invited to express interest, would be taller than the 509-metre Taipei 101 tower in Taiwan, which is the world's tallest completed building, London-based weekly MEED reported in its latest issue.
The tower will have a total built-up area of 235,000 square metres, with five basement levels, MEED said without saying where it got the information.
Burj Dubai, being developed by Emaar Properties , will become the world's tallest building when it is completed in 2009.

Who knows if this is still the design. There is barely any information on this project but a week or two ago, somebody found out that piling has actually been completed here.
