Hi Guys,

Puts things in prospective how great this city is....

Enjoy.

Thanks

Marc

It gives me the collywobbles just looking at it, I could never live that high, I get the shakes looking out of my 4th floor apartment window....

Was in Toronto the other week and they're pretty p****d off there that they've lost their crown, and the Burj isn't even finished yet...

I am with you on that one Andy, WOW! Can you imagine the view looking out one of those windows. Everyone must look like ants.

I think it's currently 780m, and have heard that 818m will be the top

That project is a failure

just like the Dubai Mall! Businesses have pulled out from Dubai Mall because no $$$

For me I would like my office to be in the top. And every morning I will drink my coffee and looking through the window I love highest

. I almost bought an office in 48floor. But the problem the bulling will finish in 2013 it long way to wait
