Burj Dubai (UAE)
Burj Dubai is the world's tallest building once completed. The final height of the building is a well kept secret because of 'competition.' But it is speculated that it will be around 2,275 feet and will exceed 160 floors.
The tower is being constructed by a South Korean company, Samsung Engineering & Construction. This company also built the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia and the Taipei 101.
The interior will be decorated by Giorgio Armani. An Armani Hotel will occupy the lower 37 floors. Floors 45 through 108 will have 700 private apartments.
An outdoor swimming pool will be located on the 78th floor of the tower. Corporate offices and suites will fill most of the remaining floors, except for a 123rd floor lobby and 124th floor indoor/outdoor observation deck.
It will also boast of the world's fastest elevator.
