Update on the Burj Dubai

The Burj Dubai skyscraper located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates has finally reached its final height. It is still, at least , 4 months away from completion but its current and final height is around 2,692 feet, possibly 2,900 feet! It was quite an imposing figure as I was sitting there drinking my cappicino at the Baker & Spice restaurant in downtown Dubai but I was quite awed by it. Incredible structure!

Dude the CN tower is 553m (1,815ft) tall. It is the tallest building in North America.

Not sure if the CNN Tower would qualify as a "building" in the sense that a skyscraper is. I think the CNN Tower and that other tower or space needle in Kuala Lumpur (not the twin Petranous Towers) would qualify more as "structures" and not buildings.

thanks for the info

but the spire on dubai is expendable thats the trick they are holding up , I bet they'll say at the opening that we wont tell you the height cuz we can make it higher at any time

they can actually build a mast atop the structure , if you just notice the fact that a little mast is already there

Yeah the Burj Dubai didn't keep the height secret as originally planned because the plans were for a building topping 800 meters and many people knew that already.

Burj Dubai = 818m, 2683ft

Sears Tower = 442m, 1451ft
