Site Progress Photos: The Burj, Dubai
Well, okay, this isn’t really a MALAYSIAN property, but I’m sure most of you guys would have heard of the Burj in Dubai.
According to wikipedia and the official website:
Its final height is officially being kept a secret due to competition; however, figures released by a contractor on the project have suggested a height of around 808 metres (2650 feet)[1]. Based on this height, the total number of habitable floors is expected to be around 162. However, on the project’s official website, a interior graphic of an elevator panel shows floor numbers up to 195.
Upon its completion in 2008 the Burj Dubai will likely become the tallest building in the world. It will beat out the current title holder, Taipei 101 in Taiwan, as well as numerous other proposals including the Freedom Tower at New York City’s World Trade Center, the Shanghai World Financial Center and the Fordham Spire. In addition, it will assume the title of the world’s tallest structure, surpassing the tallest freestanding structure (on land), Toronto’s CN Tower, as well as the guyed KVLY-TV mast in North Dakota, the latter setting a minimum height for the tower at almost 630 m.
We found this recent site progress photo of the building under construction.
When completed, the tower would most probably look like this:
