The Burj Khalifa, standing at an astounding 2,716.5 feet (828 meters), is not just a marvel of engineering but a symbol of human ambition and architectural brilliance. Towering three times higher than the Eiffel Tower, the Dubai landmark is home to luxury residences, high-end retail stores, and world-class dining experiences.
With 163 floors and 58 elevators, the Burj Khalifa offers unmatched amenities. The skyscraper houses 2,957 parking spaces, 304 hotels, 37 office floors, and 900 ultra-luxury apartments, making it one of the most sought-after addresses in the world.
Exclusive residences and high-end living
Luxury at Burj Khalifa reaches new heights with the Armani Hotel Dubai, located on the 8th floor and spanning Levels 38-39. The prestigious Armani Residences, featuring elegantly designed one- and two-bedroom apartments, occupy Levels 9 to 16.
For those seeking ultimate exclusivity, private ultra-luxury apartments with one to four bedrooms are available from Levels 45 to 108. The largest penthouse in the Burj Khalifa, spanning 21,000 square feet, is priced at a staggering AED 102,000,000 (approximately Rs 2 billion), making it one of the most expensive residences in the world.
Sky-high real estate prices
According to Dubai housing website dubaihousing-ae.com, the cost of owning a home in the Burj Khalifa reflects its prestige:
- 1 BHK: AED 1,600,000 (approx. Rs 3.73 crore)
- 2 BHK: AED 2,500,000 (approx. Rs 5.83 crore)
- 3 BHK ultra-luxury apartment: AED 6,000,000 (nearly Rs 14 crore)
Despite these sky-high prices, even costlier luxury apartments are now set to be built in Gurugram, India, challenging Dubai’s real estate dominance.
Who owns Burj Khalifa?
The Burj Khalifa is the crown jewel of Emaar Properties, a leading Dubai-based real estate firm founded by Emirati businessman Mohamed Alabbar. Built in just six years, the skyscraper is one of Emaar’s flagship projects, alongside the Dubai Mall, the Dubai Fountain, and the soon-to-be-completed Dubai Creek Tower.
Alabbar, also the founder of Abu Dhabi-based Eagle Hills, continues to shape the skyline of Dubai and beyond, proving that the pursuit of architectural excellence knows no bounds.
The Burj Khalifa remains a testament to innovation, luxury, and the relentless human drive to reach for the sky.
