Simcity buildings and their counterparts in the World

Playing Sim City 3000 unlimited, I was realizing that a lot of the standart buildings have counterparts in the real word. Or were at least inspired by real life buildings.
And this what the thread is about, to find the counterpart in real life to the standart buildings in every Sim City Game. I don't speak about the Landmarks in the games.

Since I have played the german version, I don't have the english names of the Simcity building. If someone knows them I will try to ad them.

Let me start with some 4x4 and 3x3 commercial buildings form the asian design pack of Sim City 3000 unlimited.

Shinjuku Park Tower - Tokio:
