It's amazing what 10 billion buys these days.............................
I'm trying to figure out if he was TOLD to call it that, or if he did it as a 'thank you' for the money and the much more he is hoping for....after 5 years of being known as the Burj Dubai, it is now the Burj Khalifa....whatever, its official now and congratulations , you now live in the country with the largest building on earth, at least until the next guy puts up one taller....

We'll never know for certain, but I reckon a combination of the two.I'm trying to figure out if he was TOLD to call it that, or if he did it as a 'thank you' for the money and the much more he is hoping for.
If I was given that much money to bail out my country, I would respectfully name what seems like a large accomplishment for Dubai.. to what seems to be the savior of the financiality of the country.
I think its an accknowledgment of how indebted they are to abu dhabi, not in a negative way, but in a respectful way.
In case of no down fall in Dubai, What name to be assigned to Burj?
AD owns the Metro ? i had no idea about thatAnd guess who inaugrated? He was ruler of Al ain whom I later recognized.... it's kinda sad, AD owns Burj al Arab, Metro and now burj dubai sry khalifa... well if it for the money
More then empty rooms, seems the "Worlds Highest Mosque" is situated on 158th Floor , check out thisExactly what will be on the top floors of the Burj Abu Dhabi (150-160)? The floors themselves seem to be quite small, so I doubt they can be used as an apt/office etc. Empty room maybe?

So now everytime a toilet is flushed at the top of the Burj....water has to be pumped 1/2 mile up..do you think anyone calculated the cost of a single flush?!
....but then again with so much money to blow by the Abu Dhabians (hey, they bought Man City right?!hehe)...maybe they didnt?!There's a good chance that somebody thought of sticking water tanks somewhere near the top...
Thats what the mechanical floors every 40 floors or so are for..There's a good chance that somebody thought of sticking water tanks somewhere near the top...
Indeed.Thats what the mechanical floors every 40 floors or so are for..![]()
