No kidding. For the record, it's the 36th tallest building in the world.

ETA: It was the 36th tallest when completed in 2008... now it's the 119th tallest. Damn that escalated fast.

Biggest beneficiary from this will be Donald Trump whose $6 billion dollar golf resort will benefit as tourists look to stay in lower rise properties in Dubai.

Government over there says New Years celebration will continue as planned. Should make for the best fireworks display ever with a high rise burning in the background.
