The decision-maker of Burj Khalifa is the government. As the service and sightseeing of Burj Khalifa outside the trade economy, Dubai has a population of 2.26 million, and most of the land is desert (covering more than 90% of the land) or sparsely populated. Building projects such as the tallest building in the world are one of the important ways to enhance the international reputation of Dubai and the country.
According to Jacqui, a VIP visitor from Najir Real Estate Company,
Josephson said: "Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, the new Sheikh of Dubai) wants to put Dubai on the map with sensational elements." .

Architectural design—
Burj Dubai is designed by SOM, which is famous for its super-high-rise projects such as Sears Tower and Freedom Tower in new york.
The Burj Khalifa is designed in Islamic architectural style, with a Y-shaped floor, and three building parts gradually become a core, rising from the desert. The spiral pattern reduces the cross-section of the building, making it more straight into the sky, and the central core is transformed into minarets, reaching the top. The Y-shaped floor also provides a better view for Burj Khalifa.
The interior design was designed by giorgio armani. An Armani hotel will be located on the floor below the 37th floor, and there will be as many as 700 rooms from the 45th floor to the 108 floor. Above 106 are offices and conference rooms. The observation deck (about 442m) is expected to be designed on the124th floor, and the antenna at the top will include communication function.
The Burj Dubai also includes the world's fastest elevator made by ThyssenKrupp, with a speed of17.5m/s. Before that, the world's fastest elevator was Taipei Tower in Taiwan Province Province, China, with a speed of 10 1 6.8m/s.
