IMO, none of the mega towers make money.

The top 135:

China 60
UAE 26
US 19( No mega towers, 600m+)

The engineering and logistics, fascinating.
Useful, cost effective; not so much.

“IMO, none of the mega towers make money.”

Interesting. Never thought about ALL of them.
Figured it for Burj Khalifa.

Dubai has some extraordinary projects in the works.
Interesting how many of them have HUGE amounts of vanity space.
