HONG KONG | International Commerce Centre | 1,608 FT / 490 M | 118 FLOORS | T/O

This tower looks good. It should be in New York. It would be the city's tallest building for three years.

This should have been the new world trade centers :worship:

[Pizzuti]

It looks like there is a lot of room for high-rises behind it.

Any evidence that with the Dubai economy crashing more attention will revert back to cities traditionally resulting in steady growth?

How long before development returns to Hong Kong?

[malec]

Can we say this is completed now?

Somebody please resize those huge pictures.

It would make one world trade center look short if standing side by side in New York.

I think this is an alright tower. Nothing special. Kind of a disappointment considering it's height...

I wouldn't count on it with the housing bubble about to burst. residential vacancies in china are averaging 50%. The same disaster that hit dubai will unfortunately hit hong kong and shanghai, but not quite as hard.

[patriotizzy]

Now that's what I call an epic building! Looks amazing.

Wow that looks like Coruscant and a half. Awesome series of buildings and amazing pics.

[Innsertnamehere]

this thing is alot taller than it looks.... i look at it and say 1,200-1,400 feet, but i never dreamed of it being over 1,600 feet!

[QuarterMileSidewalk]

Holy smokes. Those two are about the most beautiful cityscapes I've ever seen...

great looking building! too bad it isnt in the real heart of the city but it still fits in nicely.

On another note and sorry that its off topic, but i would like to say skyscrapercity.com is awful and they should be terminated immediately haha, thats just me.

[Biff]

Yeah, the problem with the perception of its height is the fact that the "fatties" next door are over 800+ ft tall.

[sterlippo1]

i love that building:tup:

[NYC4Life]

Looks taller than 1,608 feet. Also reminds me of the proposed 5 Penn Plaza Tower.

[BStyles]

Ugh, it's so freakishly unbelievably tall!

I love it!:yes:

which means the abbreviation T / O?

topped out, as in, it's reached its full height and no more floors or feet will be added to the structure.

OK! Thanks!

I'm sure from inside it will have some amazing views!

While it is a tall building at over 1600ft - it hides its height very well - this is because of the width of the building - which hides its dimensions vey well. as an example, the World Trade centre was 1362ft tall by 209ft wide and it looked more imposing and the height was more apparent. Never the less this building is very good and will be in my Top 20 Skyscrapers in the world!

This building needs to be featured in a movie and it will definately become popular and iconic. looks like Shangai & Guanzou in China will take the centre stage with their awesome buildings as construction of current and future buildings will show how strong China is as a fture leader in commerce!

[hunser]

this one should be moved to the completed section! it has been finished last year already...

[lukeit]

this one should be moved to the completed section! it has been finished last year already...

agree. i don't like the position about this building, far from the "city".

[SkyscrapersOfNewYork]

Those lights coming off the building kind of remind me of the lights that would come of the original World Trade Center before September 11th.

[Golyadkin]

This thing is gorgeous. How did I not notice any mention of it until just now?:shrug:

I remember visiting Hong Kong as a kid years and years ago. When I was there, the Bank of China Tower absolutely dominated the skyline. :haha:

[Crush_Buds]

Amazing. I got nothing else than that.

This one was off the radar for a while, but is certainly one of the better additions. I really don't know much about it, but if its completed we can move it so someone can create the new thread.

[hunser]

^^ as far as i know the hotel is already open. also, ctbuh confirms that the tower is completed: http://buildingdb.ctbuh.org/?do=building&building_id=137. it should be moved.
