The Blue Sky Tower (Mongolian: Хөх тэнгэр цамхаг) is a mixed-use 25 story, 105 meters (344 ft) tall steel and glass skyscraper that stands just to the south of Sükhbaatar Square in Mongolia's capital Ulaanbaatar.
[3] Blue Sky Tower serves as a landmark that dominates the central Ulaanbaatar skyline thanks to its location and distinctive shape.
Designed in the style of a sail or fin, it appears to be modeled after the Burj Al Arab in Dubai.
[4] Mongolians often refer to it derisively as "the meat cleaver" or "the sail boat"[3] and the purpose of a sea-themed edifice in the capital of a landlocked country is unclear.
[4] Construction on the skyscraper, designed in cooperation with a South Korean company, began in 2007 but was temporarily suspended during the political tensions that followed Mongolia's legislative election in June 2008.
