@Op did you saw the fountain show in the evening?
C360
Nope. Didn’t stick around for it... I was really hung over lol
Yoda1PositivityStar
It’s freaking awesome, when I went there in the evening they did the fountain show on Michael Jackson’s thriller song

Wish I would have stayed now
chonsan1
Meh, I've seen bigger

I recognize that building, it's the Wiz Khalifa.

Well that goes all the way up, don't it?

It’s all about perspective. I would just need to shave a little.
KAG25
1/4 mile up, can you go up it?
C360
I think so. I was too hung over to want to go up there.
KAG25
lol

Should have waited for the light and water show.

That show is amazing!

Dubai? *Reads description* Dubai.

My friends brother in law worked on this building.

Who is at the ultimate top? He must have diamand balls
TheTeeminSteaminScreaminMemeinSemenCreaminDemon
tom cruise. but living there? prolly some saudi oil prince. dem sunsabitches is richer than god
ThatQuietlySmirking
Tom Cruise.
izahraan
No one can live at the top since the air is too thin. Source: brother works there.
yzrocketman
After doing the math..
izahraan
I think there are 160 floors and the top 3 or 4 floors are dedicated to powerful air cons for people who live up to the 157th floor.

I know they're impractical, but I really enjoy these megastructures!!! I'm kind of reminded of the great pyramids, an inspiring symbol...

They're building a taller one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeddah_Tower

I visted the arcitecture firm that designed it in chicago. They had like an open house thing and they where very proud of it. It was fun
vanbarbee
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C5C3PFeWAAUV87X.jpg its already taller than the tallest building in my state x.x
DavyVanKerckhove
Not worth it. The Empire will probably test fire the death star on it.
MorRochben
It's amazing what you can build if you have a lot of slaves.
DwaynElizondoMountainDewHerbertCamacho
They aren't slaves. They are paid to construct. This notion of "slavery" in the UAE is bs. Look how many indians became billionaires in UAE
MorRochben
Yes totally not slaves, they take away the workers passports for fun.
SoItGoesQuarantineEdition
This. No one believes.
MachineInterface
Yeah, look at the US!
fathersisterberzerker
What did the US build?

I heard it's empty
Misslnformation
Like the tower in NK? Or just because they want to be able to accommodate future tenants needs?
hopethisisarelevantname
Unused floors, yes...but there are restaurants, residents, and offices that are fully operating. Source: I lived there.
Solaralyn
Oooh I'd totally read a post about living in the world's tallest building!!
hopethisisarelevantname
It, like Dubai, was more of a prestige than practical thing. My company chose my place, and I wasn't all that high up (relatively).
RunningWaterMonster
That’s pretty cool
trancevotary
What percent is occupied?
hopethisisarelevantname
Tough to say because of the revolving door mentality of the place, but I'd guess more than 60% now.
ArentWetheWaggies
What was it like? Did you enjoy living there? What were the cops like?

reeceeschocoloco
Not OP but I was born and raised there. There’s always something to do, higher pay for corporate and office jobs but no minimum wage 1/
reeceeschocoloco
No taxes on anything, bipolar weather, slavery, racism and sexism still exist, 75% of people there are stuck up, swimming pools abundant 2/
reeceeschocoloco
Everything is much cheaper than the West, people still get arranged marriages, no (proper) public school system, only 1 decent university 3/
retardland
so it will be cheap to buy a unit there?
Treblaine
That may be why it is empty.
1414145691
no I mean it's completely empty, like there's walls and there's space inside and that's it
AmericanSighCo
Its not uncommon for new large buildings. It’s empty space for future tenants to to build to suit their needs. It’s called core and shell.
Somanyquestions
You're confusing it with the giant hotel in north Korea.
Valkyr1987
Isn't that not even a building, just a facade with 2 or 3 walls
BrownViking
I’ve been inside. It isn’t like that. Tons of opulence there.
1414145691
maybe they should open a window then? Not surprised with all the hummus however that gives me the toots too
PolarBears91
Now adding opulence to my vocabulary, much obliged stranger
1414145691
While you're at it, add "bombast"
Rips4w
Lol, we are such an arrogant bunch of apes.
ClubberLaing
As a human I'm offended.
Brunitski
What? Why? Because we build tall structures? Is there a floor limit to arrogance?
Rips4w
It's not because we do it. It's the "why".
ohokaywhatevs
Why shouldn't we
Rips4w
Should or shouldnt were never discussed. Just the arrogance.
Brunitski
Struggling to understand; do you think that building stuff is arrogant? Not being facetious btw. I mean many organisms build things.
