The largest and arguably the most famous construction project in the world Dubai is the Burj Dubai, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), which began construction in April 2005. The Burj Dubai is the tallest building, freestanding structure, and man-made structure of any kind ever built on the planet.
The Burj Dubai topped out on January 17, 2009 at 818 Meters (2,684 ft) and it became the tallest free-standing structure in the world on September 12, 2007, surpassing the 553-metre (1,815 ft) CN Tower in Toronto, Canada. The building also surpassed the height of Taipei 101, the current tallest building in the world, on July 21, 2007. However, as only completed structures are measured as buildings, Burj Dubai will not officially gain the title of tallest building in the world until its completion in 2009.
In April 2008, Burj Dubai became the tallest man-made structure in the world, surpassing the KVLY-TV mast in Blanchard, North Dakota, United States. On May 19, 2008 it surpassed the height of the now-destroyed Warsaw radio mast in Konstantynów, Gąbin, Poland, becoming the tallest man-made structure in history at 649.7 metres (2,131 ft). The proposed Nakheel Tower is another extremely tall development planned for construction in Dubai. Set to rise at least 1,400 metres (4,593 ft) in height, with 200 Floors, this building would surpass the Burj Dubai to become the tallest structure in the world if constructed.
The Burj Dubai include 30,000 homes, 9 hotels, 6 acres of parkland, 19 residential towers, and a 12-hectare Burj Dubai Lake. The cost of developing the Burj Dubai was approximately US$ 8 billion and covered an area of 22 million square feet.
