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.

I remember when I was a kid I was such a skyscraper freak, when I heard about the planning of burj dubai I thought it was gonna become a dream come true to see it completed. Now I don't even care anymore.
So? Do you think anyone cares about what you think? And I do want the building to be finished didn't read my comment it was a dream come true for me when I was a kid.
Well unlike most idiotic muslim nations these guys know that they're "blessed" to have oil reserves but at some point they will end in the near future. So they're trying to invest in becoming a tourist attraction and big business. Spend it while you got it.
