Bigger Is Better: Burj Khalifa

The world’s tallest building, at a lofty 2,722 feet, Burj Khalifa has become synonymous with Dubai’s growth and grandeur. Since completion in 2010, this cloud-piercing structure has become the centerpiece of Dubai, housing the ultra-luxe Armani Hotel, residential units, restaurants and bars, as well as the At the Top Burj Khalifa SKY experience, taking visitors to the 148th floor for jaw-plummeting views of Dubai.

The 160-story Burj Khalifa was designed by Chicago-based firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the winners of an invited design competition, and features a triple-lobed footprint inspired by the spider lily flower.
