I recall having the same set.

What makes the 11-million-square-foot Sky City so astonishing isn't its height or its appearance but rather the three-month construction plan to create the building that kicks off at the end of the year. Broad Group -- the company responsible for assembling the skyscraper -- plans to achieve these insane building speeds by using 95 percent prefabricated modular pieces that are sort of similar to a giant Lego set to construct the building.

Eleven million sq.ft. is a whopping amount of space to fill. Wonder who the 'developer' has in mind as tenants? Not to mention the vast population unleashed at ground level every evening. It's going to be some special kind of hell climbing down when the power to the elevators goes out.

Maybe a govwernment prison, no traffic problems and no rush hour.

A few floors for guard living quarters so it could be self contained!
