Tribute to the Tower of Babel/Blasted tower? But this time not the lot who came to divide and conquer, total wipeout instead?

The building cost about $1.5 billion US to build, or about $9 million US per floor. Apartments in the building sold for $1,900 US per square foot at their peak, but prices have fallen by half in the wake of the financial woes that hit Dubai. The city-state had to turn to Abu Dhabi for about $25 billion US in bailouts last year to cover amassed debts of state-linked firms. |

A 40-year Southern California resident, my 1st thoughts were...
"Yeah, looks nice. a 6.5 thrust type shaker should just about do it. No.... make that a 6.8" Fred

A big waste... Old Paradigm non-sens of half-human glory. At least the blue sky in the background save the day. Build more of them and the blue sky in the background will turn into foggy gray pollution...
Namaste, Steven |

It was probably built with slave labor.

Re: Stairway To Heaven opens in Dubai!!???!!
the burj ... the nearby structures and the surrounding area ... the energy of which as a whole ... to me feels to be lacking a heart pulse ... it feels so false and so void of any real substance ...
pretentious yes but even more vacant than that ... suppose that is when something like this is created on a foundation of the almighty dollar ... i dunno ... just something very strange about the place ... |

My friend spent 2 weeks in Dubai last September. All the work there is done by foreigners. The largest group is from India. They make about $5 a day....it is a real shame....

Re: Stairway To Heaven opens in Dubai!!???!!
It does seem totally insane doesn't? Imagine being on the top floors of the thing and needing to get down real quick. To beat all it was ninety percent occupied when it opened! Amazing.

Re: Stairway To Heaven opens in Dubai!!???!!
And when you consider that much of it was built on near-slave labor, lured into the country, then not allowed to leave...
makes the earthquake idea look even better, I think.
