The Burj Khalifa, also called the Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building, towers over the skyline in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The occupancy rate at the 160-story, 2,717-foot tall building boasts the most stories and highest occupied floor of any building in the world, and ranks as the world’s tallest structure, beating out a television mast in North Dakota.
The world’s tallest building opened in Dubai on Jan. 4, 2010, in the midst of a deep financial crisis. The Burj Khalifa tower — named in a nod to the leader of neighboring Abu Dhabi — is more than twice the height of New York’s Empire State Building’s roof.
