'Big Bend' skyscraper in Manhattan proposed to become world’s longest building

The proposed "Big Bend" in Manhattan, New York, is set to become the world's longest building, spanning 4,000 feet in a single, continuous upside-down U shape, reported The US Sun. The innovative shape also enables developers to construct taller buildings on smaller plots, cutting down their overall costs. If this project goes through successfully, the "Big Bend" would be a staggering 1,000 feet longer than the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which is currently the tallest building in the world. “If we manage to bend our structure instead of bending the zoning rules of New York we would be able to create one of the most prestigious buildings in Manhattan," said Oikonomou.
