Description- The Height of Burj Dubai is being kept private, and will not be told until it is complete. According to the developers, it will be the tallest building on earth. Work on foundations is set to start in January 2004.
- When anounced in early 2003, the Burj Dubai's design was the same as the 560 meter Melbourne Grollo Tower design. However, in May 2003 a new design by SOM was released.
- As of November 2004, the Burj Dubai's height and floor count (originally believed to be 705 meters and 160 floors, respectively) are not final. There are rumors suggesting that the building may be as high as 900 meters.
- An observation deck will be located on the 124th floor
