    PROJECT CHARTER

    Project Title: Burj Khalifa


    Project Sponsor: Emaar Properties/Carles Adell Martinez and Miguel Saiz
    Date Prepared: 25/06/20
    Project Manager: Multi Prospect Management (MPM)
    Project Customer: Dubai

    Project Purpose or Justification


    Dubai wants tourism to become a second source of income to the economy as they
    acknowledge that the oil which their economy primarily depends on has a finite supply.
    They believe that by building a tower of this size and to hold as many records as it will when
    complete will help put Dubai on the map and capture the attention of the world.

    The Dubai Government have been making the transition into tourism with this strategy over
    the past two decades with the Burj Khalifa to be the focal point of a 500 acre mega project
    of ‘Downtown Dubai’. There is also the competition with the Western countries who at this
    point had dominated the market for skyscrapers and super structures. This was evident as
    the Sheik in Dubai once said that he was inspired to construct the Burj Khalifa after visiting
    New York City and seeing the Empire State Building.

    Project Description
    The Burj Khalifa will be the centre piece of a 500-acre large-scale mixed-use development
    project of Downtown Dubai which is to include 30,000 homes, 9 hotels, the Dubai Mall, the
    Burj Khalifa Lake, 19 residential skyscrapers and 7.4 acres of parkland. The proposed design
    of the Burj Khalifa is set to break the following World Records if successfully completed:
    - Tallest building in the world
    - Tallest free-standing structure in the world
    - Highest number of stories in the world
    - Highest occupied floor in the world
    - Highest observation deck in the world
    - Elevator with the longest travel distance in the world
    - Tallest service elevator in the world
    The architectural influence of the building comes from the Islamic religion and the
    Hymenocallis flower which is evident by the Y-shaped structure based around a central core.
    The project budget is projected to cost a total of $1.5b US dollars for the entire project
    lifecycle and will be constructed over six years.

    the manager of the project hierarchy.

    works have been agreed to as a part of the Fixed Firm Price. The Project Manager will

    project.
