With only about 75 of the 900 apartments in the tower occupied, asking rents in the tower have fallen almost 50 percent, Better Homes sales adviser Laura Adams told Gulf News. Studio apartments are now available for about $1,800 a month, down from $3,000, while two-bedroom units once priced at $7,100 a month now rent for about $4,300..."

I don't know the official definition of a supertall. All I can say is that only towers taller than some 30 to 35 floors would protrude from the fog in that picture.
