World's Tallest Building

BURJ DUBAI

Burj Khalifa has been designed to be the center piece of a large-scale, mixed-use development that would include 30,000 homes, nine hotels such as The Address Downtown Dubai , 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of parkland, at least 19 residential towers, the Dubai Mall, and the 12-hectare (30-acres) man-made Burj Khalifa Lake.

The building has returned the location of Earth's tallest freestanding structure to the Middle East the Great Pyramid Of Giza this achievement for almost four millennia before being surpassed in 1311 by Lincoln Catherdral England.

HEIGHT OF BURJ DUBAI OF ALL BUILDINGS

The final height of the Burj Dubai officially remained a secret during construction with the developer, Emaar, keeping schtum when asked. Various leakages resulted in most of the world speculating on 818 meters as the final height, although as the last bit is a spire being jacked up from the inside, it could make sense that more spire gets added and jacked up further to confound the statements of final height. Unless the jacker-upper gets distracted by an attractive bird flying past and the spire falls out. After an Emar press release headline on 30 December 2008 said that the Burj Dubai was "over 780 meters and climbing ... ", several media sources in January 2009 said that the final height of 780m had been reached, while other sources said the Burj Dubai had topped out at a final height of 818m (and quoted inside information), and further sources said the tower was up to 780m or 818m and still rising. As with many reports in Dubai, trying to verify the accuracy of reported information can have the opposite effect and throw up more and more inconsistency.
