World’s Tallest Building May Cause the World’s Largest Headache

In a recent article on CNN’s website, the world’s tallest building- Burj Khalifa located in Dubai, UAE, has made headlines for threatening to shut down air conditioning and elevators due to unpaid fees. There were reportedly several notifications that were sent out to residents that their access cards would be denied if they failed to pay the fees. The cost of rent in the Burj Khalifa is approximately $55,000/year and the service charges are around $25,000/year.

Fun Fact: The Burj Khalifa stands 2,717 feet tall, is the tallest building in the world and has the highest occupied floor in the world.
