This building definitely does NOT have 89 floors though. . .

Ah, didn't notice you changed it. Thanks.

I'm not sure about the floor height though. Should be investigated further. z0rg at SSC should be consulted, as he is our only Western "know it all" guy on Chinese projects.

Right on. . . the floor count isn't super important, but in this case I suspect it's somewhere between 66 and 88 floors. . .

Great depth in the building.

Bergenser · #25 Posted **Sep 24, 2008, 9:05 PM**

Great design!
It's unbeliveable how projects as this are growing up in China without me even knowing about them.

It's nice and original.
But will it age well ?

The skin of this building is absolutely sick.

I like this building. Wonder if it will get some tall neighbors.

Holy — that is tall. But then again, it is the 4th tallest topped out skyscraper on the planet after all..

malec · #32 Posted **Nov 8, 2008, 5:36 PM**

Yes it is, and the cladding is great!

Wow. Thanks for the update, malec.
It's totally what the Trump Chicago would have wanted to be.

Aleks · #34 Posted **Nov 8, 2008, 9:06 PM**

Yeah, this building is great. Awesome cladding btw. They need something like this in Europe. Great spire too, looks better than what I've seen of Trump Chicago.

Sick spire!
This building turned out way better than I thought. I'll have to take the two hour trip to check it out one of these days.

The cladding is out of this world !! I love this building.

Indescribable · #38 Posted **Nov 11, 2008, 6:12 PM**

The cladding reminds me of something but its hard to put my finger on it. Its quite unique.

Like muppet said, it reminds me of scales like you would find on a Dragon (if Dragons existed).
