Burj Dubai, the iconic tower developed by global property developer Emaar Properties, has scaled 158 levels - the most in any building in the world - and is now 598.5 metres high.
A press release from Emaar said that cladding work of the tower is now ongoing at an accelerated pace with 58 storeys already wearing the shimmering sheen of the high-performance cladding system. The primary materials used - reflective glazing, aluminum and textured stainless steel spandrels and vertical stainless tubular fins - accentuate the tower's height and slenderness to the eye.
Burj Dubai is now taller than Taipei 101 (508 metres; 1667 ft) in Taiwan and the CN Tower (553.33 metres; 1815.5 ft) in Toronto, Canada. When completed, the tower will have used 330,000 cubic meters of concrete, 39,000 metric tons of steel rebar and 142,000 sq m of glass - and 22 million man hours. More than 5,000 consultants and skilled professional workers are employed on-site at the tower.
