This was some tremendous amount of work, suppose to be a overview of the current supertalls. Since i never finished (or haven't
finished yet) what i first intended to do i am posting this half-done work here. The completion was suppose to include all buildings
above 300m, i just haven't had the time to do all the buildings. Also, as of now when you click the link to end up to that building's
thread in the supertall section. The plan was that i made a post to every project where i put all the information and renderings
since 90% of those threads in the Supertall section have no informative first posts. I have not taken the time to do that since i
fear few people will use it and therefor i quit the project some time ago. So here is a completion at least, it should contain most of
the buildings above 500m for you to update yourself!

I figured i'd post this to celebrate this thread's 1000th post! :cheers:

Well done with the supertalls, trondheimr. My favorite U/Cs are Shanghai Tower and Greenland Center. Every time seeing an update of ST makes me admire that building more than ever. It's probably going to be world's most fascinating syscraper in what is arguably world's most fascinating city. I remember a couple of years back once it was announced before even completing the SWFC I didn't believe they were actually going to build it. At least not so soon.

The next one I want to see U/C is Citic Plaza in Beijing. That building is just fucking beautiful. Just too sexy.

P.S. since you included Tokyo Sky Tree why not to include Canton Tower... I think it's certainly more beautiful than the Tokyo Sky Tree

CITIC Plaza - Beijing, 500m+


This is the only building I really like.

I was also under the impression that the Old Post Office re-development scheme in Chicago was canceled and the owner tried to get rid of the plot? It don't appears like a serious development if you read the tread at least: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1422930&page=15

^^ yes, the Old Post Office re-development scheme looks more or less like a vision than a real project. So does a few other projects on the lists, and it might be a very long time to we see buildings suchs as Russia Tower, One Dubai, One Park Avenue, Meraas Tower, India Tower, Sky City, Burj Mubarak al Kabir, Dubai Towers and many more built if ever they wake alive again.

P.S. since you included Tokyo Sky Tree why not to include Canton Tower... I think it's certainly more beautiful than the Tokyo Sky Tree

Its because Canton Tower is completed, while Tokyo Sky Tower is u/c. The list only contain buildings u/c, approved, proposed and on hold, not built. :)

Nice work, but I thought Russia Tower had been cancelled?

Russia Tower is on hold, not cancelled. coth describe the status of the tower in detail here (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=48797039&postcount=1520).

In this case it should not include Burj Khalifa which is also complete.

Its officially opened, but its not officially completed as their still not done inside apparently. I decided to include it since it was still in the Supertalls section.

Oh, well.. I'd say there isn't much hope that it'll be built (especially not with that same design), but I sure hope it will be..

It would certainly show London's Shard who is the boss :)

Croatian Dream

Croatian Dream is the greatest sustainable development project in Europe focused on tourism and commerce. The project has come to life after several years of studies of the
potential for Dalmatia and Southeast Europe and reflects the need to advance the region to the next level of development. The realisation of this project opens a number of
opportunities for Croatia as a small country to prove it is ready to set extremely high standards for future projects of this nature.

The Croatian Dream will come to life in a pristine corner of the Earth, in the regions of Dubrovačko Primorje, Ston and Ravno (Bosnia-Herzegovina) located on the Eastern coast
of the Adriatic Sea and in the middle of the transport corridors connecting Central and Eastern Europe. The exquisite location of the region once made it of interest for possible
military use, but fortunately its potential as the tourist centre of New Europe was recognized and will soon be fulfilled.

Cool video. I was out taking pictures of that building last time I was in Budapest. It's used as a medical university (and is around 80 metres tall). Just to spoil the illusion.

Well, pretty much everything from MVRDV looks the same-- but for instance this proposal for Copenhagen:

DEAR Þróndeimr. Appreciated. I'M 100000000000000% behind with you.
MVRDV's design is not statue but just creative building. please don't kill designer's creative mind.
Architec is just architecture. Don't make a symbolic. I'm sick and tired with symbolic negative.

Is it quite a phallic looking building? (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=474259&page=35
)
No.
If someone say "Lotte seoul tower remind me of a phallic, it would he is crazy guy or radical feminist.
No one eerily by "Lotte seoul tower" due to a phallic shape. Also no need changed desigin.

SAME LOGIC APPLY TO MRDV CLOUD.
"THE MRDV CLOUD" HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH SORROWFUL TERROISM ATTACK 9/11. NO THANKS NO MORE ARGUE WITH IIRATIONAL COMPALIN.
WE DEEPLY MEMORIAL WITH 9/11. Seoul citizens same anger and desperated with NEW YORK citizens about 9/11 terror:) THANKS

P.S "Those rumor(9/11) are just vandalism attack. We will not going to changed building design." said Dream Hub the person concerned. (http://media.daum.net/economic/estate/view.html?cateid=100019&newsid=20111211184113336&p=mk)
