The Burj Khalifa Is A Sight To Behold
The name of this building was recently changed to the Burj Khalifa right at the time of its launch last month.
The country of Abu Dhabi, basically next door to Dubai, really offered a lot of help last year when the world economy had gone down to a crisis level, and Dubai made the decision to change the name as a way of letting them know just how much they appreciated all the financial help they received.
Anyway, this is a special building that's truly unlike any other landmark in the world. You've probably seen it mentioned on the news, but let's take a closer look at some of the key highlights that make this the most exquisite building the world has ever seen.
What's incredible about this landmark is the fact that over 160 floors of space occupy it, all with the ability to be lived in. As I'm sure you could imagine, this would cost a lot of money and the price tag of $2,000 per square foot is no laughing matter.
No, you did not read that wrong, the price that a 2,000 square foot apartment would have been sold for was almost 4 million dollars! Prices have come down to earth to some extent, but the utter thought of levels like these is absurd.
There are also many floors that will be devoted to offices, in addition to restaurants and other forms of commercial space.
The Burj Khalifa will also have a world class hotel inside it designed by Giorgio Armani. The 76th floor is going to have a swimming pool on it, which gives it the distinction of being the highest swimming pool in the world, and the 158th floor is going to have a mosque on it, giving it the distinction of being the highest mosque in the world.
Another monumental feature is the security of the structure itself, which is virtually unlike anything we've ever seen in a building before. Every 25 to 30 levels, there are special floors with their own air supplies and special compositions that make them very resistant to fire.
This is truly a next generation building and should easily set the precedent for the buildings of the future as the bar has now been raised. This new era in architecture does make our world a better place.
