If the height is greater than 1000 meters, the claim will return 100 Moolers and a height less than 800 meters would return 0 Moolers. The claim may be judged earlier if the tower is finished and occupied before the arbitration deadline.

In February 2007, the Burj Dubai surpassed the Sears Tower as the building with the most floors in the world. As of 20 May 2007 the tower’s height was 460.1 meters (1,510 feet), with 129 floors.(source)

The projected final height of the Burj Dubai is officially being kept a secret due to competition; however, figures released by a contractor on the project have suggested a height of around 808 metres (2,651 feet).Based on this height, the total number of habitable floors is expected to be around 162. However, on the project’s official website, an interior graphic of an elevator panel shows floor numbers up to 195. (source)
