Industrialization started in the 1930s in Mongolia (then the Mongolian People's Republic), with large-scale building construction starting in the 1960s-1970s, where the core of Ulaanbaatar was built. By the end of the communist era, Mongolia's tallest building was a 16-floor apartment building in Darkhan, constructed in 1985. [1] [2]
Since 1990, there was an increase in 9-12 floor buildings, while 16+ floor buildings started appearing since 2010. Mongolia's building code legislations define high-rise buildings as those 16+ floors in height. [3]
Mongolia's tallest pre-modern structure is Kherlen Bars Khot in Dornod Province.

Ulaanbaatar, previously anglicized as Ulan Bator, is the capital and most populous city of Mongolia. It has a population of 1.6 million, and it is the coldest capital city in the world by average yearly temperature. The municipality is located in north central Mongolia at an elevation of about 1,300 metres (4,300 ft) in a valley on the Tuul River. The city was founded in 1639 as a nomadic Buddhist monastic centre, changing location 28 times, and was permanently settled at its modern location in 1778.

Meraas Tower was a proposed supertall skyscraper that was to be 550 m (1,804 ft) tall, and to be constructed in Jumeirah Garden City, Dubai. When completed it would have been one of the tallest skyscrapers in Dubai. The tower design had a series of faceted surfaces that would help light and air travel throughout the building. The faceted shapes were projected to maximize energy generation, balance natural light, and offer 360-degree views of the city below. They also would create natural atrium spaces as the building ascended, allowing the creation of naturally lit sky gardens. Exposing the intermediate floors would have made it seem as if the structure was composed of four smaller towers stacked one on top of another. Tower was to include 300,000 square meters of hotel, convention, commercial and retail spaces.
