    Default NYC-perfect towers built elsewhere...

    SHENZHEN | Ping An International Finance Centre | 1,929 FT

    Here is the kicker....

    As another fellow forumer mentioned on SSP; this tower screams NYC.

    Feel free to add anyother heartbreakers....

    Sadly enough, most of those Asian supertalls are designed by New Yorkers.

    I'd love me some India Tower.

    India Tower is nice, but not a contextual fit for NYC... more for like Dubai. Dont get me wrong I would take it on my skyline but it doesnt fit the NYC context the way the Shenzen tower would fit NYC.
