Ten years ago, on January 4, 2010, a grand opening ceremony of the tallest building in the world ever existed - the Burj Khalifa. The height of a skyscraper located in Dubai (UAE) was 828 m - this is 163 floors. Construction began in 2004 and cost $ 1.5 billion. The author of the project was American architect Adrian Smith. Up to 12 thousand workers worked every day on the construction, and the creation of the Burj Khalifa took about 320 thousand cubic meters of concrete and more than 60 thousand tons of steel reinforcement. However, the skyscraper will soon lose the title of the tallest building in the world - the Tower under construction in Dubai Creek Harbor (UAE) and the Jeddah Tower (Saudi Arabia) should break the record.
