SEOUL: Korean Rail Corp Tower - 615m/150 floors (Approved)

SKorea to build world's second-highest skyscraper SEOUL, March 29, 2007 (AFP) - South Korea's Seoul city government said Thursday it has approved a plan to build the world's second-highest skyscraper in the central business district, officials said. The state-run Korea Railroad Corp's plan to build a 150-story building, measuring 615 metres (2,029.5 feet) high, by 2013 in Yongsan was endorsed on Wednesday, city government officials said. The city's urban construction committee set the ceiling on the planned building's height at 620 metres, they said. The building would be the world's second-highest after the Burj Dubai, a tower now under construction in the United Arab Emirates that will reach 830 metres high, they added. The Korea Railroad Corp said it would need consultations with the city government -- as both still remain at odds over other terms and conditions of the development project -- before the construction. jkw/jc SKorea-skyscraper-construction AFP 290610 GMT MAR 07>

Chicago: Waterview Tower - 1047ft/89 floors (U/C)

This is a thread for Waterview Tower in Chicago. The name is the result from every residence having views of either the Chicago River or Lake Michigan, if not both, hence Waterview. It will be 89 stories and 319m/1,047ft and will be the new home to Shangri-La Hotel and Resorts. I believe the curtain wall for the tower will be blue crystalline glass and stainless steel. Upon completion, it will be the fifth tallest in Chicago. Thomas Hoepf is the architect and Teng and Associates is the developer. This project has been a long time coming and is my current favorite supertall in Chicago under construction/approved. It has been in the preliminary stages of construction as of January 05, 2006. Here is a rendering: Here are a couple of model shots provided by BVictor: The 29th Floor Amenities Level This is an awesome shot Here are a couple of construction photos provided by BVictor: More photos will be available as soon as things really begin to kick off. Hope you like as much as I do.>
