Burj Khalifa is world’s fifth costliest tower

|By TAP Staff| Construction data miners at Emporis have published a chart of the world’s most expensive buildings.  According to the graphic, New York’s  One World Trade Center is by far the world’s most expensive building, coming in at $3.9 billion, nearly double the second-most expensive buildings, Vegas’ Palazzo casino and London’s The Shard, which both cost $1.9B to build. Perhaps even more surprising, Dubai’s dizzying Burj Khalifa, currently the world’s tallest building, comes in at number five, or the same price ($1.5B) as China’s glowing horseshoe Sheraton Hotel.
