Introducing the "Burj Dubai". Currently under
construction, it has already overtaken Taipei
101 to become the new World's Tallest
Building.
When completed in 2009 it will be over half a
mile high, with 160 storeys. That's like
stacking 2 Empire State Buildings on top of
each other.
In this video from the Discovery channel,
Matt Rogers takes a look inside the
unfinished building including a view from the
137th floor.

| The Tallest Building in the World - Burj Dubai! Middle East |
 |
I went to the Burj Dubai and filmed the
construction and then again six months later.
66 to 124 floors in six months!
The Burj Dubai tower is designed to be the
centerpiece of a large-scale, mixed-use
development that will include 30,000 homes,
nine hotels, 6 acres of parkland, 19+
residential towers, the Dubai Mall, and a
large man-made lake. The complete 500 acre
development will cost about $20 billion
dollars (US). Once completed, the tower will
cover a total of over 22 million square feet
of development.
The official height of the Burj Dubai is kept
secret because of international competition,
but current estimates have it rising to a
height in excess of 2,600 feet. Some
estimate that it will be 189 floors or so -
it is to be the tallest building in the
world.
Recently, the construction site already
surpassed height needed to make it
(uncompeted) the second tallest building in
the world.
The Burj Dubai is located in Dubai which is a
city in the emirate of Dubai, part of the
United arab Emirates in the Gulf region of
the Middle East.

Burj Dubai is going to be the world's tallest
skyscraper by 2008. The final height is kept
in secret, but it will be at least 705m tall
(and could reach 950m), while the current
world's tallest stands at 509m (Taipei 101)
