13. Merdeka
Located in: Kuala Lumpur, East Malaysia. Building cost: $1.5 billion
This picture truly captures the enormity of Merdeka 118. Standing 118 floors tall, this structure is situated in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. After the Burj Khalifa, it is the second-tallest structure in the world.
This relatively new tower, standing 2,227 feet tall, is expected to open in the third quarter of 2018. Malaysia claims that the purpose of this enormous, megatall monument is to represent the blending of the old and the new.
