This is how the Burj Dubai would look like if it were placed right smack in Midtown Manhattan!
The Burj Dubai is the tallest man-made structure ever built, at 818 m (2,684 ft) and has been designed to be the centerpiece of a large-scale, mixed-use development that will include 30,000 homes, nine hotels such as the Burj Dubai Lake Hotel & Serviced Apartments, 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of parkland, at least 19 residential towers, the Dubai Mall, and the 12-hectare (30-acre) man-made Burj Dubai Lake.
