The tallest man made structure record was held by the CN Tower in Canada.
However, that record has been broken by the Burj Dubai, a 555.3m building
constructed by Emaar Properties, one of the leading property
builders.
Currently the tallest building, the Burj Dubai, at 555.3m high, is one tall
building that has a whopping one hundred and fifty stories. This building has
left the others in the competition like the Taipei
101 in Taiwan
and the record holder, CN Tower.
An elated Mohammed Ali Alabbar, the Chairman of the firm (Emaar Properties)
that pulled off this amazing feat, was quoted saying that the making of this
building was a result of more than 5000 people who were involved in the making
of this project. He said that he saw this achievement as an assertion of the
will power of the many people who dedicated their efforts towards the creation
of this masterpiece. Making the tallest building in the world is not an easy
thing to do, and it requires an immense amount of dedication and perseverance
to transfer a dream into reality. The proud chairman claimed that this
achievement bears testimony to the spirit of Dubai and is representative of the dauntless
never die attitude of its
people.
This building actually puts Dubai
in the world map and when the building is completed in the next year, it will
become one of the major attractions of the place.
The Downtown Burj Dubai project covers other aspects and will have everything
from residences, offices, hospitality units and the biggest destination for
shopaholics around the world the Dubai Mall.
Investment Features
The Burj Dubai is all about thinking big and then transforming it into
reality. The structure will have world class facilities for the residents.
Those staying in Burj Dubai will get four swimming pools at their disposal, a
cigar club, library and a world class gym.
Design and Construction
The styling and structuring of the Burj Dubai, done by Skidmore from Chicago, is a perfect
merger of Islamic architectural traditions and modern styling. It looks very
much a 21st century structure with an added feel of tradition.
The Burj Dubai represents the blend of East and West and it poses as a
perfect destination for the investors who are interested in real estate. With
the demands for a space in the Burj Dubai, it is fast becoming one of the
hottest properties around.
If you can be part of the Burj Dubai, you will have access to almost all
over the world and you will be where the world wants to be. With most of the
attention of the real estate focused on it, the Burj Dubai is all set to become
one of the most coveted properties in the world.
With all the good things, one must end with the good old saying in the world
of real estate the sky is the limit. And thus, even before the Burj Dubai has
arrived, it has a competitor in Nakheels Al Burj, a tower that promises to be
the highest!
