At this point I think it's at 126 floors, but those upper floors haven't been  poured yet to the point of actually being occupiable by workers.  The core is even higher.

Some documents were uncovered by members of another website that show that the Burj's spire is going to be increased yet again. Rumors are flying around that this building will top 3,000 feet!

Holy Smokes!! Are the developers planing on scraping the surface of the moon with the spire of this building? The tallness is flat out crazy!
