At 2 floors a week this could be nearly topped out by the end of the year.

What's the highest occupied floor? Must be <500m looking at that massive crown.

EDIT: found it on CTBUH:

I haven't been following this thread, so apologies if it's already been discussed, but this looks like it has the highest core-to-usable-floorspace ratio of anything I've ever seen. There's barely anything space left to occupy on each floor...

scalziand · #**148** Posted **Jan 24, 2013, 2:49 AM**

It's no different than other similar towers like Pingan and Guangzhou Chow Tai Fook Center, or even 1WTC. There's actually 40'-50' between the core and the exterior.

After sitting so long below street level this thing is really motoring in the style of the construction of the Empire State Building.

That massive core has gained quite the height since the previous posts. I am in awe of the rate they are going up.

Here it shows floor description.

2 floors a week, is impressive, but to think of it topping out by the end of the year, nah they'll hit some snags.. OH wait this isn't the USA. That's not fair to say but 432 is the only US skyscraper that's moving at such a pace and its probably nearly 1/2 the girth of this.

scalziand · #**154** Posted **Feb 26, 2013, 4:58 AM**

^They have hit some snags with cracking in the supercolumns.

Amazing how far up they have gone. Does anyone know what floor they are at?

scalziand · #**156** Posted **Feb 26, 2013, 8:21 PM**

Floor 36-37.
