Burj Dubai... Yikes That's Tall...

Evidently Burj Dubai will be the Woooooorld's Taaaaallest Builllllllding.... but they are not saying how tall ... It's a secret!

//excerpt//
The Burj Dubai will be the world's tallest tower and the centerpiece of the Gulf regions most prestigious urban development to date...Burj Dubai will radiate out in a series of ellipses from the sky breaking tower encompassing residential, commercial, hotel, entertainment, and the world largest shopping mall. ...
The Chicago-based Skidmore, Owings & Merrill architectural consultants have drawn their inspiration from the historical influences of the Gulf. The tower's base and geometry reflects the six petal desert flower of the Region....Petronas Towers in Malaysia (452 metres) and the Chicago's Sears Tower (442 meters) are currently the world's highest man made tower. Recently China and the New York World Trade Centre have announced plans to exceed these records. Burj Dubai's height is a closely guarded secret but it will beat all records and on a scale that will be a dramatic testament to Dubai's faith in the future. .
