One Za’abeel, a gigantic building in the UAE that is already a record-breaker, directly contributed to three more records that Dubai can be proud of.
The building in question is now the proud owner of four Guinness World Records.
This is the world’s longest cantilevered building, providing the platform for the longest architectural projection, on the longest display, on the largest mesh screen.
Three new records, one amazing structure.

The first record, the fact that this is the world’s longest cantilevered building, made the other three possible.
This is because all of that wouldn’t have doable with any other building in the world.
For seven minutes, this was the world’s largest ‘display’
The unique way One is constructed is the key all four records.
Earlier this year, creative agency Bureau Béatrice teamed up with a company called MediaPro International, which provided the necessary technology for the display.
The structure in Dubai comprises two skyscrapers, 235 meters (770 feet) and 305 meters (1000 feet) tall respectively, for a combined usable surface of 30,662 square meters (330,000 square feet).
The first record was set after projecting a seven-minute display on One Za’abeel skyscrapers.
Ironically, the second record was the same as the first one, ‘the world’s longest’, but this time longest refers to length, not duration.
In total, the projection spanned 272 meters – or 892 feet.
The third Guinness World Record was for the largest mesh screen on a building, with a total area of 28,665 square meters—or 308,000 square feet.
About One Za’abeel Dubai
One Za’abeel comprises two skyscrapers connected by a unique horizontal bridge called ‘The Link’, floating 100 meters above ground.
The Link looks brilliant, but it also serves an important function.
Nikken Sekkei, the company that built it, said that The Link enhances safety and mitigates wind-driven sway, which is a constant headache when it comes to tall buildings.
Not an inch of the bridge was wasted, though.
Among other things, the cantilever connection features restaurants, lounge areas, an infinity swimming pool, and – of course – an amazing view of some of the other amazing constructions in Dubai, including the Burj Khalifa.
As is often the case with similar buildings, the One Za’abeel is a vertical city, with suites, spas, gyms and swimming pools, Michelin-starred restaurants, gala ballrooms, meeting rooms – the list goes on.
