And now we have, this behemoth. =)

The Burj Khalifa, formerly known as th' Burj Dubai, stands at 828metres (2,717feet), an' has taken 6 years t' complete.
160 habitable floors, 334,000 m2 o' floor space fer vari'us uses includin' Accomodation/Hotels, Restaurants, Observation, an' 55 floors fer Mechanical, an' also 3 floors fer Communications & Broadcastin' too.

So what I want t' know is, with all those floors fer “mechanical” usage, when does th' thin' transform an' get up t' move?

I’m guessin' in 30 odd years when th' base is underwater xD

sorry t' disipoint ye hashy, it wont transform. th' Mech areas be floors fer mechanical plant i.e. Air condensin' units, boiler rooms, IT areas.

what gets me is with only 160 floors, 55 o' which be dedicated as Mechanical plant… it means that its every 3rd floor!

worlds highest mosque…. (nope im not goin' t' say it)
