The [world's tallest building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-torch) has begun issuing rentals *starting* at $38,000 a year. Recession, what recession? Keep in mind that $38,000 is the starting price of a Burj Khalifa apartment. Two bedrooms start at $81,500. While $38,000 may seem like a lot of money to drop on a [one-bedroom apartment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercury-tower), it may turn out to be a worthwhile investment down the road. The world economy will eventually recover, and $38,000 is a small price to pay to live in a piece of history. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Rentable Real Estate:** Real estate companies can capitalize on the growing demand for luxury rentals by offering high-end apartments in world-renowned buildings like the Burj Khalifa. - **Affordable Luxury Housing:** Developers can focus on making luxury living more accessible to a wider range of people by offering flexible payment options and more reasonable pricing plans. - **Sustainable High-rise Living:** Companies can find ways to make luxury high-rise living more sustainable by integrating green technologies and eco-friendly features into their buildings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Real Estate:** The real estate industry can capitalize on the growing demand for luxury rentals and work on offering more affordable options with flexible payment plans. - **Construction:** The construction industry can focus on providing sustainable and eco-friendly building options for luxury high-rise apartments to attract environmentally conscious tenants. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can tap into the luxury rental market by offering concierge and other high-end services to renters of world-famous buildings like the Burj Khalifa. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [$1 Tiny Apartment Rentals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-apartment-rental.md) - [Sky-Garden Leisure Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-sobha-skyparks.md) - [Tall Beachfront Residential Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley-motors.md) - [Eco-Conscious Slim Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muraba-veil.md) - [Highway-Side Narrow Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muraba-veil-skyscraper.md) - [Rainbow Micro Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skittles-little-living.md) - [Opulent UAE-Based Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sobha-realty.md) - [Mixed-Use Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inaura.md) - [Extravagant New Year's Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empire-steak-house-nyc.md)
