I wonder if a thread's been done for this before...

But anyways, I thought it's be interesting to create a thread to show off and share pictures of skyscrapers or other buildings that AREN'T the standard blue shades. These can include buildings that are:
-Red
-Green
-Yellow/gold
-White
-Black/grey
-Any other colour that ISN'T the typical blue glass. Red brick does not count and neither does beige concrete.

Not completely limited to skyscrapers, but preferably tall

They can be either constructed, under construction, or proposed.

Can't wait to see what you put!
