No and not by a long shot. They are building it:

and it will be 541 m tall. The burj dubai will be 636 m tall (2,087 ft). Meaning it will be 95m or 311 feet taller than the FT.

Yep
will be this in 2012: Text
I like the design of the spire, elegant. Interesting though that nothing is planned that will be taller than the Burj Dubai, at least nothing we know about. Seems like it will keep the world record for some time!
for many years buildings in downtown Ottawa faced a 45.7 metre (150 foot) height restriction so the Peace Tower would dominate the skyline... Originally hoping to build a 145 metre (475 foot) tower (which would have made it about 42 storeys) the city allowed it to only be 104 metres (342 feet) (29 storeys), but it still was, and remains, the tallest building in the city.
