They already have the Burj Dubai, and now they're going to be working on this? Awesome as hell. I wish we were building stuff like this here in the US.

Also, here's a fun website: http://www.emporis.com/en

At least New Ziedrich managed to spell Dubai correctly in the title of his thread, SaintB.

I'm sorry, I'm pretty certain that before long our threads will merge, and there is a good chance yours will be the master one since I misspelled Dubai

First thing I thought when I saw SaintB's thread, was "Wait, the US president builds skyscrapers now?".

Thanks! I found it a few years ago on the Simtropolis forums, in a thread matching Sim City 4 buildings to their real-life counterparts. Emporis is one of my favorite websites now.
