Great, so the construction will start no later than September.. unless they count the showroom structure as part of the construction. Looking forward to when we can put this beauty in the UC category.

How does the total floor space compare to other large skyscrapers like State Tower and Empire Tower?

I think State Tower is twice the size of the Mahanakhon for the total floor space around 300,000sqm. and Empire Tower is around 200,000sqm. somewhere around this number krub. State Tower is one of the biggest building in South East Asia, isnt it. And Empire Tower is the largest office building in Thailand, I believe so krub.

the empty place in the model (for Sathorn W Hotel & Office) is very noticable

Oh yeah I guess so, this building is quite a bit slimmer than those other two. They are all impressive in their own way. Thanks Daone

Cool pics and model Chad!!
