Now, before I begin talking about this monumental landmark, I need to inform you that the name of the building had been changed to the Burj Khalifa, not very long after it’s unveiling.

The reason for the name change was that Dubai wanted to show how appreciative it was for the financial aid it had gotten from Abu Dhabi, which is a country right next to them that gave a lot of help last year when the economy of the world was at a crisis level.

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.

First of all, there are over 160 inhabitable floors. Not only are there this many of them, but there’s apartment space in the building that was selling for nearly $2,000 per square foot at its height.

That’s right; a 2,000 square foot apartment would have sold for nearly 4 million dollars! Thankfully, prices have dropped since then to as low as half of their peak, but that’s still some extraordinarily expensive real estate.

Along with restaurants and other types of commercial space, a lot of floors will be for offices.

For tourists, they’ll be glad to know that a top of the line hotel will also be featured here, thanks to the architecture of Giorgio Armani. A swimming pool will adorn this building near the top, in addition to a mosque, both of which will be at the highest altitudes in the world for their kind.

The security of this structure is yet another astounding feature, unlike anything that has ever been seen in any building prior to this. Special floors that have their very own air supplies and unique compositions that make them quite fire-resistant are at every 25 to 30 levels.

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.
