Yes, you can absolutely live in the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, as it contains approximately 900 private residential units. These apartments are located between floors 19 and 108 and range from studios to ultra-luxury four-bedroom residences. Living in the Burj is often described as staying in a permanent five-star hotel; residents have access to exclusive amenities including the "Burj Club" fitness center, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a private library, and a dedicated cigar lounge. There is also a 24-hour concierge service and direct internal access to the Dubai Mall. As of 2026, the cost of living here remains among the highest in Dubai, with even studio apartments commanding premium rents due to the prestige of the address. The "Armani Residences," designed by Giorgio Armani himself, offer an even more exclusive tier of living on levels 9 to 16. While prestigious, residents must navigate unique logistics, such as transferring between multiple elevator banks and living in a high-security environment that attracts millions of tourists to the base of the tower every year.
