Burj Dubai is a skyscraper under construction in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and is the tallest man-made structure on Earth. Construction began on September 21, 2004, and it is expected to be completed and ready for occupation in September 2009. As of 12 May 2008, Burj Dubai has reached a height of 636 m (2,087 ft), with more than 160 completed floors.
Burj Dubai’s final milestone will be to surpass the Warsaw radio mast in Konstantynów near Gąbin, Poland (which stood at 646.4 m (2,121 ft) until it collapsed in 1991) to become the world’s tallest structure of any type ever built.
