Tallest building in the world


On July 21st the Burj Dubai became 21 feet taller than the Taipei 101 (509m, 1,667 ft) hence becoming the tallest building in the world. Currently with 141 floors, the final height of this building is till unknown. They say its going to be over 800m (more than 2600ft) tall and should be finished by 2009.
I quote " Burj Dubai is located downtown Dubai and the 500 acre development already welcomes its first residents. It will also contain the luxurious Armani hotel. The hotel will include 175 guest rooms and suites restaurants and spa covering more than 40,000 sq m. Alongside the Burj Dubai will offer 144 luxury residential apartments all designed and fully furnished from a specially designed line of products from the Armani Casa home furnishing collection. "
