Peter C. Baker (14 January 2010). "Towering intellect". The National (Abu Dhabi). the article is pretty decent, and a good deal more informative than most newspaper articles on the same subject.

Forgive me for not knowing the convention, does "office space pricing at Burj Khalifa reached US$4,000 per sq ft (over US$43,000 per m²" refer to condominium sale prices, or yearly rent, or something else? If it is condominium sales, are there also annual assessments? Could someone add a clarification to the article's text? Thanks!
Is it true the building is (or was) not connected to a sewer system?
The building is connected to the sewer system. There was obviously a point during construction when it wasn't though. Nobody is going to design a building that big and not do that. GliderMaven (talk) 15:58, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If it isn't, that is a noteworthy point.
Just to appeal to common sense does not work as a counter argument, given how nonsensical the urban planning of Dubai is.
Massive duplication of information; better organization
The "Conception" section, "Development" section, the "Architecture and Design" section, and the "Construction" section have massive overlaps. There really should be only two sections: "Architecture and Design", and "Construction".
Also, a more logical flow for the article would be:
Conception
Architecture and Design
Construction (including what is now Controversies)
Opening and real estate values
Features
Events (Ramadan observance, New Year's Eve, BASE jumping, Climbing)
level-4 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
