The Worlds Tallest Building
The Burj Khalifa has become the worlds tallest building standing at 2,716 feet tall and 160 stories. It holds many world records like the elevator with the longest travel distance, the Highest observation deck, and the highest occupied floor in the world. It is now the tallest free standing building standing over the KVLY-TV building. The unique design of this building is what sets it apart form all others; with its unique center core and tipple- lobed footprint. The building went through over 40 wind test to make sure it could withstand the force, they also tested the change in pressure over the height.
