You really have to like these towers. I love their facades. That stainless steel and aluminum is just gorgeous.

One of my 3 favorite Asian towers, along with Jin Mao and Taipei 101.

Apparently there is now an observation deck on the 86th floor of Petronas Tower 2, here is a youtube video with the proof. I knew the Skybridge has been open to the public for years but it never had a top floor open to the public before. Has anyone else heard about this?

Always liked the design and cladding, but always bothered me that they took the worlds tallest title from Sears Tower with all that spire length.

They merely claimed the title. Everyone on SSP knows they weren't. end of discussion.

Beautiful photo.
I've always found these to be fantastic buildings, only marred by their claim as the world's tallest. Technically they were, but for me spires don't do it. It's actual roof height that matters, in my opinion.

Nice, but a little busy for my taste. I love the sky-bridge though.
