A new supertall structure in Brazil is set to surpass NYC’s Central Park Tower as the world’s tallest apartment building — and its top floor units comes with sky-high price tags.

A Terrorist’s wet dream.
I’ll pass on a top floor unit. I’m too old to walk down that many stairs if there’s a fire.
That’s OK, the fire department will use their 1800-foot ladder to rescue you.
Then I’ll take the top floor. Just make sure there’s no windows.....
China is currently home to 24 of the 50 tallest buildings in the world.
That looks safe in the high winds huh Moe.
Just jump, it’s near water.
Future generations will learn about the peculiar ‘erectile insecurity’ phase of architecture of the 21’st century.
I give it ten years before it falls down
