World's Tallest Building - 828m - Burj Khalifa

The World's Tallest Tower was formally opened today: 828 meters / 2,717 ft!

Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashed al-Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, renamed it Burj Khalifa in honour of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahayan, the president of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Abu Dhabi. The renaming of the glass-and-metal structure came as a surprise for many, as it had always been referred to as Burj Dubai. Perhaps the answer lies in the direct and indirect financial injections by Abu Dhabi totaling $25 billion last year. The developer of the newly opened tower said it cost about $1.5 billion to build the tapering metal-and-glass spire billed as a "vertical city" of luxury apartments and offices. It boasts four swimming pools, a private library and a hotel designed by Giorgio Armani.

Thank you Emaar for the invite to the opening!
