Another ugly-a$$ building that looks like it belongs on the Klingon home world.

It impressive to look at, but I’d hate to be around when it falls down.

At least someone is reaching for the skies.

We should have built this in NYC. Instead we have a hole in the ground that serves as a monument to the complete and total capitulation of the West to the barbarians.

Who even cares if it’s the tallest. It’s in MuzzieLand. You couldn’t pay me to take a office there.

...2,683ft from its base to the tip of its spire — that’s more than half a mile, the equivalent of three-and-a-half Canary Wharf towers or two Empire State buildings stacked up. Its final height is being kept secret until tomorrow, but architects who have worked on the building have hinted it could break the 2,700ft mark.
Okay, now, imagine something twenty times this tall, and you're on the way to the space elevator. ;')
