It's going to be a monumental tower.
The second setback mirrors the height of the West Tower. It's pretty much the only feature that makes them "twins".

This is going to be quite an iconic view in a few years when this is complete.

Love this design... It's beautiful, and really simple. It seems relevant to the turn recent Asian* skyscraper design has taken.

Great design on this tower, but I have to pose a really dumb question: Is this going to have actual tenants, or is it going to be empty like 90% of other towers that have gone up in recent years in China?

Well I wouldn't be surprised. According to DER SPIEGEL some 70 million housing units in China are empty. And just yesterday the IMF warned China of a massive property bubble, which is going to burst eventually. It's only a matter of time...

Sorry for going OT.

Interesting how China appears to be using a similar construction method on all of their new supertalls. Massive steel beams with concrete poured inside, yes?
