Burj Dubai
The world's tallest building is officially open! Burj Dubai or officially the "Khalifa Tower" has 168 floors and is around 2700feet tall.It currently sets empty, but has plans in the works for apartments and office space. You can live in an apartment in the Khalifa Tower for aroundUS $3500 per square foot.The tower also will set tons of records like:Tallest skyscraper to top of spire.Tallest Structure ever built.Tallest Freestanding structure.World's highest elevator installation.The first 'world's tallest skyscraper' to include residential space.Highest outdoor observation deck.Elevator with the longest travel distance.Building with the most floors.WORLD'S FASTEST ElEVATOR at 40MPH !
I am random,I over analyze and I love life. I'm a reader, cafe rat, and list maker. I love art and design and am an amateur painter. I love the built environment. Originally, I grew up in hills of West Virginia, but am currently a student at University of Virginia. I'm obsessed with architecture-both historic and new.My appreciation outweighs my criticisms. I consider myself to be a liberal and christian, focused yet wild,an artist with spacial issues to overcome, a planner whose future is undefined, someone who has it all figured out but could fill a room with questions. I love life, and the people I surround myself with. I'm enjoying the ride with NO REGRETS, As well as working to perfect my french.
