if i remember correctly the offices occupy the lower floors how could this be possible? But then i really want burj dubai to be almost unbeatable in terms of height... i mean i really want it to be 200+ floors and be the world's tallest for a century!

It will not be 200 floors. Becouse the pilling cant stand more than 950m so forget it. They will probably not go more than 800-850 meters? And how many floors can u fit then, including the spire.
