ʻO ka nānā ʻana o ka honua holoʻokoʻa i ka wehe ʻana o ka Burj Dubai e hāʻawi i kahi hoʻoikaika nui no ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi ma ka emirate.
Manaʻo ke aupuni Dubai he ʻelua piliona kānaka a puni ka honua e nānā i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hale kiaʻi kiʻekiʻe loa o ka honua i ka lā 4 o Ianuali.
Ke kūkulu ʻia nei ka manaʻolana no ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka papahana mega no nā makahiki he nui e like me ka wehe ʻana - i hoʻomaka mua ʻia no ka hopena o 2008 - ua hoʻihoʻi ʻia i nā manawa he nui. Ua ʻōlelo ka luna hoʻomalu o Emaar, ka mea hoʻomohala o ka hale kiaʻi, ma Iune 2008 e wehe ʻia ʻo Burj Dubai i Kepakemapa 2009, ʻeiwa mau mahina ma hope o ka mea i hoʻolālā mua ʻia, akā ua hoʻihoʻi ʻia kēlā lā i Dekemaba.
A laila i Nowemapa o 2009 ua hoʻolaha ka mea hoʻomohala e wehe ʻia ka hale kiaʻi ma Ianuali 4, 2010 e hōʻailona i ka lā i noho ai ʻo Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ke aliʻi o Dubai, i ke keʻena ʻehā makahiki i hala.
He kī nui ka manawa
ʻO ka wehe ʻana o Burj Dubai hiki mai i ka manawa kūpono no ka emirate, no ka nui o ka manaʻo maikaʻi ʻole i loaʻa iā ia i ka wā i hoʻolaha ai ka mokuʻāina ʻo Dubai World i ka lā 25 Nowemapa e ʻimi ʻo ia i ʻaelike 'kūmau' mai nā mea ʻaiʻē.
Ma hope o ka makahiki paʻakikī no ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi ma ka emirate, ka mea i ʻike i ka hāʻule nui ʻana o nā noho a me nā loaʻa kālā, ʻoiai ʻo ka loaʻa kālā ma kēlā me kēia lumi i loaʻa ma Dubai e mau nei i waena o ka mea kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka honua.
'O ka wehe 'ana o ka hale kia'i e ho'oikaika 'ia ka 'oihana ho'okipa o Dubai,' wahi a Adrian Jonklaas, ka mea a'oa'o nui ma PKF - The Consulting House. 'A'ole au i mana'o he mea e like me ka loa'a 'ana o ka ho'omohala 'āina e hiki ai ke kapa inoa i ka hale kia'i ki'eki'e loa o ka honua.'
ʻO ka skyscraper ka ʻāpana hope loa o Downtown Burj Dubai, e lilo ia i wahi mega i kona pono ponoʻī, wahi āna. 'O ka mea mua, loa'a iā 'oe ka hale kia'i ki'eki'e loa o ka honua, me kahi papa nānā e kaulana loa. Loaʻa i nā waiwai e like me ka Empire State Building ma New York he mau haneli inā ʻaʻole he mau tausani o nā malihini i kēlā me kēia lā i ke kahua nānā, 'i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia.
'A laila, i loko o ka hale kia'i, loa'a iā 'oe ka Hotel Armani ki'eki'e, he hale hō'ailona hō'ailona, ho'olālā e ho'okipa i kāna mau māka'ika'i pono'ī. E hoʻohui i kēlā Dubai Mall, a me ka pūnāwai, Souk Al Bahar, a me kekahi mau hōkele ʻē aʻe, a hui pū ia i kahi micro destination, ʻo ia ke kī o kahi ʻāpana o ka hoʻolālā o Dubai.
'Pono ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i nā mea e hana ai, a ʻo kahi ʻāpana o ka hoʻolālā ʻana ʻo Dubai ke hana nei i kēia mau ʻano wahi micro.'
Ikona ʻē aʻe
Hāʻule pū ka hale kiaʻi me ka hoʻolālā ʻana o ka emirate no ke kūkulu ʻana i nā hale ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ke ola a me nā mokupuni e hopu i ka manaʻo o ka honua. "Ua hoʻomaka me Burj Al Arab a me ka Palm, a ua hahai kēia me ka hihiʻo o Sheikh Mohammed e loaʻa kēia mau papahana kiʻi," wahi āna.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jonklaas, ʻo ka hopena koke o ka hale kiaʻi, ʻo ia nā hōkele, nā hale ʻaina, a me nā hale kūʻai ma Downtown Burj Dubai e hauʻoli i ka ʻoihana ma luna o ka awelika mai ka lehulehu e ʻākoakoa nei e ʻike i ka skyscraper hou. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka nūhou maikaʻi no ka emirate holoʻokoʻa ʻo ia paha ka hale kiʻekiʻe loa o ka honua - a no laila he wahi mākaʻikaʻi nui loa - no ka manawa lōʻihi.
"He mau papahana ʻē aʻe i loko o ka pipeline, e like me ka Kingdom Tower ma Jeddah, hiki ke loaʻa i kēia, akā ʻo ke kūkulu ʻana i kēia mau hale kiaʻi kiʻekiʻe ʻaʻole ia he hana maʻalahi," wahi āna. 'He nui ke kumu kūʻai a hāpai i nā pilikia ʻenekinia, a ʻo ka hapa nui o nā papahana i manaʻo ʻia ua lohi. No laila hiki iā mākou ke hauʻoli i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka hale kiaʻi kiʻekiʻe loa no nā makahiki ʻelima a ʻumi paha e hiki mai ana, ma ka liʻiliʻi loa, he mea nui ia no ka mākaʻikaʻi ma Dubai.'
