After becoming the world’s tallest building last year, the Burj Dubai has now become the tallest man-made structure in the world, surpassing the KVLY-TV Mast in North Dakota which stands 2,063 feet tall. The developers of the tower have previously stated that it will top out somewhere around 2,275 feet, but the actual height at completion is a closely-guarded secret.

Here’s one of the latest pictures from BurjDubaiSkyscraper.com. Click for the full-size view.

    I think it’s around 160 floors right now, with a projected height of around 180 or more.

    From the top of the building, they can pretty easily add on a lighting power capture spike, that spike alone can easily be 200 feet tall, 2,275 feet + 200 feet, wow a whoomping 2,475 feet. Who can top that? American buildings are all shameful now.
