In Dubai! It has 60 stories and it stands at 828 meters high. 90% of the space has been sold but they don't know how many apartments or offices will be inhabited.
They call it Burj Khalifa. Dubai's biggest developer almost went into a huge debt default, except for the fact that Abu Dhabi's million dollar bailout prevented it. Perhaps that's why the building was named after him.
It cost $22 dollars to build.
Do you think it was worth it?
