DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The Middle Eastern developer building the world’s tallest skyscraper vowed Monday to complete the tower by year’s end, though the exact date remains uncertain. Completing the spindly 2,600-foot structure would give Emaar Properties and Dubai a significant public-relations boost at a time when both are reeling from a severe property slump exacerbated by the global recession.
Emaar previously said the building would open in September. That deadline now appears in doubt, as parts of its facade still appear incomplete. The Associated Press; AP photo
