Tokyo Mid-town Project going up

[Vapour]

Last month (Sat 16th) I visited what will become the Tokyo's tallest building by 2007 (248m)

Facing Shinkuju from Tokyo tower's 250m observatory you can see the construction site at the bottom left:

Can you see a 263m under the current height figure? It seems the initial figure was taller. Damn :D
