Worlds Tallest Building

As of today, the Burj Dubai skyscraper in the Middle East stands at 650 meters, and here’s a diagram found on the SkyscraperCity forums, comparing it to all the other towers. The construction has finally surpassed the current tallest man-made structure, the Warsawa radio mast in Poland, which stands at 646 meters. Only another 169 meters to go before the tip of the aircraft beacon is up.
At 2,063.6 ft and more than 160 stories high, Burj Dubai is now the world’s tallest building and tallest man-made structure having recently surpassed the height of the KVLY-TV mast in North Dakota, USA - 628.8 metres (2,063 ft). Burj Dubai is taller than Taipei 101 (508 metres; 1667 ft) in Taiwan and CN Tower (553.33 metres; 1815.5 ft) in Toronto, Canada.
When completed, Burj Dubai will meet all four criteria listed by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), which classifies the world’s tallest structures. CTBUH measures the height of buildings to the structural top, the highest occupied floor, the top of the roof and the tip of the spire, pinnacle, antenna, mast or flag pole.
Burj Dubai has already sold a 11000 sq ft of office space on the 94th floor to a European buyer for a whopping 12 million dollars in an online deal. Eqarat.com, the Dubai-based real estate sales agent, today said it has sold the highest office floor in the world to a European investor. from Gizmodo
