I think this building @ 1,300 feet tall in the middle will be the American rookie "Building Crusher of Buildings" upon completion....@ Hudson Yards.......

I've been wondering what those giant holes were for

From a traveler...

I must disagree...
The design of the ESB is superior and it was built in the late 20's. It has no corporate name giving it that added swag. It sits in the middle of Manhattan like a big middle finger to the rest of the would flaunting our supremacy.

Shyt, I'd take the Hancock over the Sears Tower. Not by much but never was that huge of a fan of the ST. I've had an infatuation with skyscrapers since I was little.

But I miss them brehs, I do:to:. The WTC was my buildings. Every trip I took to NYC as a kid to see my east coast fam I always had 1 request...to hit the roof or at least the observation tower of the WTC. Every trip to NYC since 9/11 hasn't been the same. I look at the skyline and shake my head.:smh: They took my buildings from me...:pacspit:

The Two World Trade Center upon completion is probably going to be my favorite building in North America

Lets move on to world buildings though. That Kingdom Tower thats going to be built is about to crush the Burj Dubai's buildings...literally from a height standpoint. That shyt is going to be 1km tall. Mohamed Ali Alabbar gotta be mad that his building wont remain the tallest after 2018 and it aint shyt he can do about it. Al-Waleed bin Talal was schemin the whole time it was being built, dude is the richest guy in the middle east. If anyone knows anything about arabs, they love to flaunt.
