Burj Khalifa
Burj Khalifa is the tallest skyscraper around the globe. It is situated in downtown Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It broke the world record in 2008 with its 829.8 m (2,722 ft) height. The Neo-Futuristic-style skyscraper was being built between 2004 and 2009 and opened in 2010. It is a mixed-use building, which means that it is a part of an urban development that implements commercial, cultural, entertainment, institutional, and residential functions without separating them from each other. It has 163 levels out of which 154 is usable due to 9 maintenance levels. Additionally, two levels below the ground serve as parking levels.
