"...building two buildinds here.... Took easy way out....." sounds oxy. They would have put a 500 ft spire or antenna or needle thing had they taken easy way out. Lol.

This is by far the best tower being built in the world right now. Truly a world icon.

What is the psi of the concrete used?

Coldrsx · #**1670** Posted **Apr 16, 2013, 7:23 PM**

Likely 30-35 MPA or 4000-5000 PSI.

Thanks! 1826' I wonder what they will charge to go up?

PhillyToNYC · #**1675** Posted **May 8, 2013, 9:15 PM**

Will that be the tallest observation deck in the world upon opening?

franktko · #**1676** Posted **May 8, 2013, 9:52 PM**

I think so. Current highest observation deck is in Canton Tower at 1600'. But maybe other supertalls under construction have observation decks in their plans

I think the Mecca Clock Tower has an obs.deck about a few feet taller.

smile1 · #**1678** Posted **May 9, 2013, 2:23 PM**

Yes, the Mecca Clock Tower has the highest observation deck at 558.7 m (1,833 ft), SWFC observatory is on 474 m (1,555.1 ft). Shanghai Tower obs will be at 556.7 meter (1,826 ft).

What an awesome building! This has to be in my top 10 of the best looking buildings in the world. I cant wait to see it topped out and it fully fitted out. I other countries can learn from the Chinease method of contruction and building design. Some countries are so overcrowded and need buildings like this in its cities!

sw5710 · #**1680** Posted **May 12, 2013, 4:33 AM**

How much is the building growing per week in feet.
