It doesn't really matter, maybe it's just because I'm a skyscraper/engineering nerd that I even care at all. It's just impressive to have a nice floor count in a building, not that I can complain or anything, it's a gorgeous ~1500 foot structure smack in midtown
Manhattan isn't in Asia, in case you are not aware. I'm talking New York office towers because that's where this is located. And you look at the large office towers rising in the city of similar height, they are all closer in actual floor numbers to this one, WTC towers included.
