The 3 underground levels will have a total height/depth of 15 meters, in other words nothing special.

Ive chatted to guys at emporis and shown diagrams of spire and most agree aircraft beacon structure WILL be included in official height. Also they are undecided on where to take height from.
There is apparently 3 entrances all dif levels. 1st @ 15.7m below, mall elevation, 2nd @ 8m below and the one we have been going off. so it could be 819m, or 827m or 835m. SOM will give plans to emporis after completion so they can decide.

We shall change the thread title i think.
Currently Burj Dubai is taller than Warsaw Mast which was the tallest structure ever built. So the title shouldnt be "World's Tallest Structure" anymore. We should make it "World's Tallest Structure EVER".

in this video you can see how they will install the spire (starting at 5:35), between tier 21-22(?) they install spire lifting machine and first lower the spire, build it and then lift it up

just wondering, only 192 concrete piles, that doesnt sound much to me, but i suppose the ground they're building on is of a total different level in comparison to the dutch swampie earth below my feet. But still, for a surface as big as the base of this building,
is the ground of the same quality as if the rocky bottom of the manhatten base they build everything on? |

Before I get too excited, can someone clarify the height of the warsaw radio mast?
Wikipedia states it was 646.38 m. I know the mast has been destroyed and BD is the tallest structure on earth as of now but 10 metres more and it'll be the tallest structure ever. Congratulations to the BD team nonetheless.
