Emmar To Open Burj Dubai By Year’s EndWednesday, October 07, 2009
 An official from the company building the world’s tallest skyscraper in Dubai says the developer is committed to opening the tower by year’s end. Ahmad al-Matrooshi, the managing director of Emaar Properties’ UAE operations, says part of the Burj Dubai skyscraper will open by the end of December. Al-Matrooshi was speaking to The Associated Press at Cityscape property expo on Monday. Emaar Properties is racing to meet the deadline to have the Burj Dubai completed by the end of 2009. Al-Matrooshi did not say how much of the tower will be ready by year’s end, but said “most of the building will be open.” Burj Dubai stands at more than 2,600 feet (800 meters) tall, but its final height remains a closely guarded secret.
