they might as well put a bulls-eye on the side of it.
the whole issue of the freedom tower is just plain sad. everything about it..
especially the fact that it doesn't even exist.. i remember on sept. 12th 2001
america was ready to build that thing immediatly.. and almost 10 years later
it's still just a big hole.
Completion slated for 2013.
is this true or a joke?

You can have your very own penthouse above the clouds:
The Burj Khalifa Penthouse, One of the Tallest Homes in the World, Is for Sale for $51 Million

Given it’s located in the world’s tallest building, it should come as no surprise that the Burj Khalifa penthouse is among the highest residences in the world—and the home is now for sale for $51 million. “The views from the penthouse are nothing short of spectacular, and every direction offers a reminder that you’re in one of the most iconic buildings in the world,” Asad Khan, the listing agent and CEO of Invest Dubai Real Estate, tells AD. “You can watch the sunrise over the desert or see the city come alive as the sun sets, all from the comfort of a home that feels like a private sanctuary in the sky.”

The duplex is on the market as a shell-and-core unit, meaning that it’s currently unfinished and will require an additional investment from a buyer to turn it into a livable space.

The fun thing about billionaires is that they can buy that place, and still have $949MM to play with.
