THE TELEGRAPH: The world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, has closed to the public due to technical problems just a month after it was formally opened.
The observation deck on the Dubai building's 124th floor, which had been open since the building was formally named on Jan 4, has been closed indefinitely because of unspecified technical problems.
At 2,716 feet tall, the tower contains a hotel, apartments and offices. The first occupants of the apartments were due to move in later this month.
But a statement from Emaar, the builders, said: "Technical issues with the power supply are being worked on by the main and sub-contractors and the public will be informed upon completion." >>> Richard Spencer in Dubai | Monday, February 08, 2010
