Megatalls - Existing, Planned/Proposed, Unbuilt, Vision, etc

and we need this one?

we have this @chris08876 and @Mackensen

We don’t necessarily “need” a lot of our threads, but there’s no reason not to. It helps to keep the conversation focused on megatalls.

My guess is how big the spires are. One WTC is more thin, and Merdeka 118 definitely has a thicker spire

This is never going to get built. But here was the preliminary proposal for a megatall Lakhta Center 2 in St. Petersburg, the one people care about not the one in FL.

Obviously the design is rough.

I found this concept for Kuala Lumpur. I believe it’s just quoted as “600 M +” and 150 fl +

New renders

Probably stale but still cool to look at
