Xinjiekou Tower, Nanjing - Tallest undrawn building

[Dylan Leblanc]

The Xinjiekou Department Store Tower in Nanjing, China is currently the tallest existing building in the SkyscraperPage database which does not have a drawing.

Emporis gives a height of 255 meters for the tower. The thread for the building on SkyscraperCity says 240 meters. The Chinese skyscrapers website gives a height fo 248 meters.

It is unfortunate that we don't know for certain what the height of the tower is, but if you are interested in doing a drawing you can use any of those heights or an estimate within the range of 240 to 255 meters and your drawing will be approved.

Doing more research, I think there was an early design for the tower which had a curved facade and a spire. This could account for the different heights I've found.

Here is a diagram on the Chinese website - http://www.skyscrapers.cn/diagram/as...ore_Phase2.htm
