This is all over the news right now have you seen it lately from the road? All the glass panels are being fitted from the base its really going to look something else when it is complete here is the fact sheet below that you might find interesting,
The projected final height of the
Burj Dubai is officially being kept a secret due to competition from other buildings under construction or proposed; however, figures released by a contractor on the project have suggested a height of around 818 m (2,684 ft). Based on this height, the total number of habitable floors is expected to be around 160. However, when pressed for a more precise figure, the project manager merely repeated that he was able only to guarantee that the final height would be higher than 700 m (2,297 ft), and it would be the world's tallest free-standing structure when completed. In fact, at more than 700 m (2,297 ft) the Burj Dubai would be the tallest land-based structure to have ever been built.
A recent article from "Builder Online" posted on the web concerning the appointment of Richard Rodrigues to the positions of CEO of Emaar Dubai,seems to paraphrase Larry Webb, the CEO of John Laing Homes, the parent company of Emaar Dubai, as stating indirectly that the final number of floors will be 170. The paragraph is as follows:
""He's going to do a great job in Dubai," adds Webb, pointing out that as part of his duties, Rodriguez will now be in charge of completing the 170-story Burj Dubai, billed as the world's tallest building."
