This prestigious building demands the highest standard of design, construction and finishes. The Burj Dubai structure represents the state-of-art in tall building design. Once completed, it will not only be the world's tallest building but the tallest man-made structure ever created. The estimated building costs of the Burj Dubai are USD 1 billion, whilst development of the entire downtown Burj Dubai project is estimated to cost USD 20 billion.

The Burj Dubai will incorporate the first Armani hotel with some 175 rooms, 144 luxury residential suites designed by Giorgio Armani, and 800 private apartments. The higher floors will consist of offices and further private suites.

"The Burj Dubai is the centrepiece of the massive Burj area, also known as the 'Old Town' area. This area will incorporate international hotels, five star restaurants, outdoor cafes, office buildings, residential buildings, villas, retail outlets" says John Genner, managing director of BQT "The total area will be one of the most prestigious urban areas in the world and we are very pleased to have won the contract against tenders from many larger overseas competitors, highlighting the impressive and innovative team assembled at BQT"
