Robert, that's the Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang North Korea isn't it. If I remember it is over 1000 feet tall and would have ben the sixth or seventh largest building in the world but the concrete was so crap it can't be used as is.
It was supposed to have seven revolving resturants and something like 3000 rooms. It's a political embarrasment for the North Korean government because it was built as a response to the constructoin of another large hotel by a South Korean company in Singapore in 1986.
Too bad, it would have been an impressive hotel.
It would be an impressive shot though...
I have got a bunch of picture that I am trying to uplink but so far it's not working. Anyway......
no. of floors: 110 (When I first read it I thought it was a typo and they meant 11 until they sent me the pic. Then I almost crapped my pants )
height: 375 meters
sq. Footage: 4 million +/-
This is going to be one helluva takeoff.
