That is truth. The proposal is given but this is of course just in very early stage of development. I think it is worth to mention such interesting project because it is one of those things that makes knees trembling. The idea is to create a building that will make Burj Dubai (which new name is Burj Khalifa) look really small. the probability of this building being realized is of course not that big because potential cost of the whole investment would be enormous. Even the architects call it “the project of dreams”, but dreams are what made the world going straight forward. The whole complex is supposed to contain hotel, marina, observatory, condominiums, office space, restaurants, shopping mall, amusement park, trade center and rotating sky-lounge.

Here are some renders of this proposed skyscraper:
