This Will Be The World Tallest Skyscraper In A Few Months
China to build a 2,749 foot, 220-story skyscraper in 90 days.

What-the-what? 90 DAYS? Now, they are building it out of prefabricated modular units and they don't say how long it took them to prefabricate, but just the thought of assembling 220-floors in 90 days blows my mind. I work in development and I don't see how that is possible. Of course I work in Texas, not China.  This would not be possible in Austin, no matter how much money you threw at it. Facinating. Some of the links at the top of the page are interesting as well, btw. |
There is a thread on this development here:
