Would you live in the world's tallest residential building? Architects are planning a skyscraper that will set the world record for a residential building in Dubai, a city in the United Arab Emirates. If completed according to plan, the Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co.

That's two more than Central Park Tower. While the tower would break the record for the tallest residential building, it wouldn't take the top spot for a tall building overall. The Burj Khalifa , another structure in Dubai, currently holds that record. That 162-story building is used for a variety of residential, commercial, and hospitality uses. The Burj Binghatti is being marketed as an ultra-luxury housing project. The eventual residents of the building will have access to amenities such as a "daycare, bodyguard, chauffeur, and private chef," according to a statement marketing the building obtained by the Post. More marketing material for the project promises an "impeccable, high-end bespoke living exclusively fashioned for the elite." Binghatti doesn't disclose a planned date for the building's completion. Dubai, the capital of the United Arab Emirates , has established itself as a playground for the world's wealthiest elite. The government of the Emirates has engaged in a wide-ranging espionage and intelligence operation to secure leverage over American companies and the United States government, according to recently disclosed intelligence reports . The plan for the building is ambitious -- so much as to raise doubt about its eventual completion.
