The Shard, funded by Sellar Property Group Ltd. and the Qatar Central Bank, became the U.K.’s tallest building when its 69th floor was constructed in December, overtaking the 771-foot tower at One Canada Square in the Canary Wharf district.
The Shard will have more than twice as much glass as the London skyscraper known as the Gherkin and will be completed in time for the 2012 Olympic Games, which will be held in the city.
Europe’s tallest building is the 300.3-meter City of Capitals in Moscow, according to NBBJ, the firm of architects that designed the development. That will be beaten by the Russian capital’s Mercury City Tower, which will be 380 meters tall when it’s completed this year, according to skyscraperpage.com.
