Located in Dubai, UAE, the Burj Khalifa holds the title of the tallest building in the world, soaring to an impressive height of 828 meters (2,717 feet). The tower features 163 floors and is home to luxurious residences, corporate offices, fine dining restaurants, the world’s highest observation deck, and even the tallest service elevator. But who owns this tallest building? He is not a king of Dubai, the Sultan of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), or an Emirati royal, but the real owner of Burj Khalifa is…

Developed by Emaar Properties, a leading real estate company based in Dubai, the Burj Khalifa took six years to complete, with construction running from 2004 to 2010. The iconic tower is owned by Mohamed Alabbar, an Emirati businessman and real estate mogul, who also founded Emaar Properties.

The Burj Khalifa is about three times taller than the Eiffel Tower and nearly twice the height of the Empire State Building.

In addition to the Burj Khalifa, Emaar Properties is renowned for several other landmark developments such as the Dubai Mall, the soon-to-rise Dubai Creek Tower, and the spectacular Dubai Fountain. Interestingly, Mohamed Alabbar is also the founder and chairman of Eagle Hills, a private real estate and investment firm headquartered in Abu Dhabi.

What’s even more astonishing is that the Burj Khalifa houses a total of 57 elevators and 8 escalators, working seamlessly to transport thousands of people every day through the tallest building on Earth. According to TimesNow Hindi report, Burj Khalifa can take you all the way up to the 124th floor in just 60 seconds.
