Samsung won the $306m(£160m) deal, after an 11-month bid process.
The concrete and steel tower will be part of an $8bn(£4.2bn) 500-acre project in the United Arab Emirates.
Workers have already started to clear the ground for the 800-metre high, 160-floor skyscraper and it should be completed by November 2008.
Construction work on the Burj tower will begin in January, and when completed it will be taller than the world's current highest building, Taiwan's 509-metre TFC 101 building.
The building will have a hotel, a shopping mall, offices and luxury apartments.
