Colin, here’s a better and more impressive perspective. Environmental considerations aside, it’s an amazing building even under construction. The website for the building has interesting data, like ” the expected peak electrical consumption of the building is 36 MW” or that the tower’s water system will supply an average of almost 1,000,000 liters of water per day. http://www.burjdubai.com/
Ah…still not that big. Wasn’t Donald Trump’s plan to build a mile-high skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan. Either way you wouldn’t catch me dead above the 25th floor.

They don’t know the final height right. And is this the building where if someone tries to go higher they can keep going higher?
