There are floors above 574m in the burj dubai, unless you're not counting any form mechanical floors. In that case you need to bring down the heights of everything else too. I don't know where the roof height is exactly. I'm sure fury would know but I think it's 624m
Anyway, in 3 years you'll have the ICC in there and maybe the Guangzhou west tower.

Yes, they barely beat out the ESB if you count the antennaes.
