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.

Dubai decided to change its name as a means of showing it’s appreciation for the financial aid it received from Abu Dhabi, a country next door that helped out immensely while the world economy sunk to a state of crisis last year.

Now then, this building is quite special in that it is not like any of the other landmarks that are in the world. Chances are that you have seen something about it on the news, but we will discuss a few of the reasons why it is indeed the most unique building that our world has ever seen.

To begin with, it has more than 160 floors that are inhabitable. Along with that, there is also apartment space there that was offered for just about $2,000 per square foot at its height.

No, you did not read that wrong, the price that a 2,000 square foot apartment would have been sold for was almost 4 million dollars! Prices have come down to earth to some extent, but the utter thought of levels like these is absurd.

There are also many floors that will be devoted to offices, in addition to restaurants and other forms of commercial space.

The Burj Khalifa will also have a world class hotel inside it designed by Giorgio Armani. The 76th floor is going to have a swimming pool on it, which gives it the distinction of being the highest swimming pool in the world, and the 158th floor is going to have a mosque on it, giving it the distinction of being the highest mosque in the world.

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.

Our world is certainly a much better place with the Burj Khalifa in it. It is a brand new architectural era that has arrived. Behold the future of skyscrapers.
