Burj Khalifa

From the very beginning of the building's construction, there were many rumors about the final height of the skyscraper. The 705 m tall tower design was originally intended to be a modified version of the Australian "Glollo Tower" (560 m). Project managers noted that the height will exceed 700 meters, that is, Burj Khalifa, after completion of construction, will become the tallest building in the country. Some sources said the building will have about 170 floors. in September 2006, the final height of the building was published as 916 m, then 940 m. According to the final data, the building consists of 828 meters and 163 floors (not counting the levels of technical floors: 46 swimming pools and 2 foundations).
