A 117-story skyscraper in the Chinese port city of Tianjin has stood unfinished and empty for nearly a decade — but according to China's state media, construction on Goldin Finance 117 may resume as early as next week.

Maybe they published that today because it's the 117th day of the year.

Goldin Finance 117 is designed to resemble a walking stick, and has that as its nickname.[10] Earlier designs resembled the shape of a fin and a diamond. Goldin Finance 117 is planned to be the main tower of Tianjin Goldin Metropolitan, a Central Business District funded by Goldin Properties, and would be built nearby the Tianjin Goldin Metropolitan Polo Club.[11]

No mention of it there or on the Chinese page, but 117 is the number of scales on a Chinese dragon:

The number nine is special in China as it is seen as the number of heaven, and Chinese dragons are frequently connected with it. For example, a Chinese dragon is normally described in terms of nine attributes and usually has 117 (9×13) scales—81 (9×9) Yang and 36 (9×4) Yin.
