When it's finished, it will be over 700 meters tall. In western world talk, that is 2296.59 feet. Please note that a mile is 5280 feet, meaning that this building is over 1/3 of a mile tall. Note: The height of that building is the same distance above sea level as the bottom of the Virgin River Gorge. It will have 160 stories. The technical height of a building includes the usual boom or antenna on top, which can sometimes be 200 feet or more. That is being kept a secret, because when it comes to building buildings, pride and arrogance reign supreme as each builder tries to out-build the next guy.
It is being built in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, and is scheduled for completion this year.
Have a swell day.
