How did it ever fly that high? It must be an Emirati bird that has claimed yet another world record!! Pricey to go all the way up as far as possible, but well worth it if you are able to do it.
Last month I spent a few days in Dubai. It was my third trip to this Emirate and I have to say, the more I get to know it, the more enjoyable I find this place.

We watched the fountain show twice. I have a post coming on it soon. Thanks, Forrest! We were quite lucky we had such clear days while in Dubai. I reckon one minute to go floors would leave your head spinning a bit! That is an enormous weight. Cool facts, thanks for sharing! Would probably be scared to take this elevator.
This is an incredible building in21st century…with a wow height of mtrs. Amazing burj khalifa, I visited this building last month on I was just wondering how high is the landing on the th floor? This is interesting! We thought it was the most amazing building ever. Hi Jay, It was published December 8, Good luck with your paper! Is the building actually glass from the outside! In the process, the project amassed an awe-inspiring number of facts, figures, and statistics.
At over metres 2, Burj Khalifa wins by far in all three categories. Height to architectural top Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the architectural top of the building. This shape in the one hand is for the stability of the building, the Jeddah Tower which currently under construction is also based on this shape and the shape can also be found on other structures such as CN Tower, Wuhan Greenland Center and Russia Tower cancelled.
On the other hand, this sort of shape is more suitable for the hotels and residences, in which the scenery from the outdoor should be highly concerned, the Y-shape design can provide the people living in it with views to the greatest extent, that is why the lower portion that below the level where the Y-shape is more apparent is used for hotels and residences and the upper portion where the Y-shape has almost transformed to circular is occupied by offices, where people working there are supposed to concentrate their focus on their work not the scenery.
Burj Khalifa was developed by Emaar Properties, a renowned local real estate firm that has also developed many other skyscrapers in Dubai and now they are working on next tallest structure of the world which temporarily named 'Dubai Creek Tower'.
The construction of Burj Khalifa was contracted by Samsung Construction, a subsidiary of Samsung Group, the group is best known for its electronic products and in respect of construction it had also constructed many famous buildings around the world including Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur and Taipei Tower in Taipei. The construction began in , the building started rising in March After that Burj Khalifa grew very fast, below is how it looked in February The building had become a floor highrise building from a Y-shape base structure in less than one year.
As the building tapers into the sky, the construction became faster when the building built to higher floors. As of January , the tower had become an imposing supertall skyscraper that has more than one hundred floors built.
And one month later it became the building with most floors on the earth. The tower surpassed Taipei to become world's tallest building in architectural height by July In less than a month the tower surpassed Sears Tower's antenna at m becoming the world's tallest building in any category, unofficially though.
In September the CN Tower was surpassed by Burj Khalifa and lost its title of tallest free standing structure in the world, not officially again, as Burj Khalifa was still under construction and growing.
Although the tower had already become the tallest building and tallest structure in the world, the height of Burj Khalifa was still substantially growing.
The tower topped out in January at its full height of The whole project cost 1. But for buildings in Dubai, this number is far ahead of other supertalls while the majority of Dubai's supertall skyscrapers cost only around million dollars.
Burj Khalifa has the world's highest building-based observation deck. When the tower first opened in , they opened the observation deck on level named At The Top at the same time, it's a observatory that contains outdoor terrace, at meters high, almost only a half height of the tower, even Shanghai World Financial Center which is only meters tall has a observation deck at m high.
But At The Top had been the highest observation deck that contains outdoor terrace until the Canton Tower's m high outdoor observatory surpassed it. Construction totalled around USD 1. The architecture features a triple-lobed footprint to mimic the Hymenocallis flower. The tower features three elements positioned around the central core. This emerges into a sculpted spire.
The Burj Khalifa elevator moves at 10 metres per second. Allie is a passionate traveller with a hearty interest in great food and stories.
