Burj Dubai Opens Today 01.04.10

In 2008 I had an opportunity to work on a residential tower in Dubai which was lead by the same development company as Burj Dubai.

Some say that since the transformation of Dubai began, 16% of the world's large construction cranes resided in Dubai.  

Dubai has the largest population out of the seven emirates and is the second-largest emirate by area, after Abu Dhabi.

Today Dubai graced the opening of the world's tallest skyscraper Burj Dubai.

Burj Dubai stands at just over 2,625 feet.
