They are off!

    A little while ago, I stumbled on the news item that China was planning to build the worlds tallest building.
    Now, I am surprised that it is already nearly three quarters done:
 
    I remember when Malaysia built her Petronas towers. My wife and visited it and dined in its uber restaurant and walked across its inter-connecting bridge. It was quite an experience.
    However, at that time it was not fully rented out. And Kuala Lumpur has a population, if you include its surrounding area, some 5.7 million people. I am quite sure it is completely rented out today.
    The Petrons Towers have long been superceded by the Burj Khalifa of Dubai. I hope that it is also completely rented out. The financial cost, if it were not, would be quite a drain on the owners.
