Standing at a looming 2,684 ft, eclipsing the old record holder, Taipei 101, by over 1,000 feet, the Burj Dubai, the newest tallest building in the world (for now), officially opened for business today to the tune of an extravagant fireworks presentation.
Officially titled the Burj Khalifa, the 160-story record-setter became the center of a real estate explosion, one apartment near the top of the tower selling for $3.5 million, and other 1-bedroom apartments selling for as much as $2,776 per square foot.
