Tallest Building in Your Nation

Postby Luxew » Sat Nov 02, 2013 8:01 pm

After talking to another person, I was wondering what is your nation's tallest building was? How many floors does it have, does have a television mast (include height), what year was it build in, and what is it's purpose, and who is the architect?

Building: Southbay Energy Building (One Aurora Center)
Floors: 89 Floors (without TM; 950ft.)
TM: Yes (with TM; 1,267ft.)
Year: 1993
Purpose: Originally to house the Aurora Accounting Firm, but went bankrupt in 1998. Southbay Energy Providers became the buildings main occupant in 2004.
Architect: Karl Amsberg

*And sorry for originally posting this in the General forums

The tallest completed tower is the Millenium Tower in Natopolis. It was constructed in 2000 and is 2,000 feet tall, making it the tallest building of that time until it was surpassed by the Burj Khalifa. It was built to celebrate the new millenium and how far humanity has gotten.

Currently, there is a tower under construction in New Birmingham called VertiCity Tower. It will be around 3,100 feet tall, and will become the world's tallest building. VertiCity will be the world's first near self-sufficient skyscraper, having homes, offices, parks, and services all within the structure. The project, however, has been halted since 2009 due to the recent economic collapse, with the tower only consisting of a 1,000 foot high vacant construction site. Construction on VertiCity is expected to resume sometime in Spring 2014.

If that's a tall building, the other ones also look like 700-800 floors compared to yours.

Just wait, there will no doubt be even taller buildings in here in due time. These threads always turn into dick waving contests.

The rationale behind the ridiculous height of mine is the fact that 19 billion people live on a landmass the size of Madagascar, so we tend to build UP since we can't build OUT as there is no space to do so. The sky's the limit, and all that.

There seems to be a new thread for this topic every month. This topic must never get old. To be a contributer, here is my tallest building.

The tallest building is 23 floors tall. It is The Cooperative People's Healing Centre A1, a very large hospital and medical research facility.

There are few buildings that near this size, save for other hospitals and some of the urban schools.

There is no need for skyscrapers.

The tallest structure in my country is the most glorious sand mound of glory! Standing over 7m, it is the most awe-inspiring landmark in The Sotoan Union. Many years ago, an undesirable tank dared to invade the most honorable Sotoan Union. A brave warrior, inspired by Sotoan pride, destroyed the tank by placing a rock in the exhaust pipe. Over time, sand has piled up on the tank, and it now is the center of the glorious sand mound. A timeless monument to The Sotoan Union!

we're not big on tall buildings, but we do have rambling megastructures and palaces of strangeness. five floors above ground are fairly common in larger urban concentrations. 12 or more, extremely unusual. up to 40 floors below ground is not uncommon, and far deeper delving is not unheard of.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

Reformation Tower broke ground after the reconstruction of Zalîvtop, in the final months of the civil war, and was completed in 1988. It stands 72 stories tall, for a total height of 819 feet. Though there have been many tenants over the years, the Reconstruction Committee worked to rebuild the nation as the tower's first tenant, accomplishing the developer's vision of the structure as a beacon of unity.

We actually tend to build down, into the ground of our moon, rather than up. Our tallest buildings comprise only a few tens of metres above ground, but form vast arcologies under the surface. What looks like a scattered colony of a few buildings above ground (and even these are situated in a large crater) is actually a vast metropolis of some hundred million humans - not even including other sapients.
