The final height is secret, but it is estimated to be at around 2,684, leaving enough room for approximately 162 habitable floors.
The building was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, who are known for their other famous designs including the Sears Tower in Chicago and the Freedom Tower in NY.

The tallest building in the world, upon completion in 2008. It looks like a huge ass syringue; it's tight as hell. Burj Dubai will be about as tall as the Empire State Building stacked on top of itself.
Person 1: I'm booking my flight to Dubai this fall!
Person 2: If I were you, I'd wait till the Burj Dubai goes up... imagine the view from the 160th floor!!
