A little more perspective
There is a botanical idea beneath all that glass: the tower’s official design account describes its three-lobed footprint as an abstraction of the Hymenocallis flower. The shape becomes easier to spot when you look at a plan rather than a skyline photograph.
Place the Eiffel Tower beside it and the arithmetic becomes visible: 828 ÷ 330 ≈ 2.51. Two Eiffel Towers stacked end to end would still leave 168 metres to the Burj’s top. This compares architectural height with antenna-inclusive height, so keep those definitions in your project notes.
