I am hosting a build contest to celebrate reaching 500 subscribers. You should take a look if you are interested.

Completed in 2008, it is the tallest building in China, and currently the fourth tallest completed building in the world at 492m. The aperture at the top of the tower is meant to reduce wind load on the tower. The original concept for the tower called for a circular shape, but was cahnged to a trapezoidal shape due the the circle design's likeness to the Japanese rising sun. It is now informally referred to as "The Bottle Opener" due to its shape. The building is designed by the firm Kohn Pederson Fox.

Like i have done with three previous towers, this one has been updated to take advantage of the increased height limit in Murata. Many things have changed from the original tower (which is included in the world save, but not the schematic). The height has been increased from 191m to 227m, making it the fourth tallest building in my city at the moment. I havve also changed the facade from ice to cyan stained glass (and when i finish my texture pack, a project currently in the works, may be redone again). Lastly the lobby, which was not present in the original tower, has been designed, with a cafe on the ground floor, a reflecting pool in the center of the lobby, and a new lighting fixture design i am trying out using nether fence. The lobby itself is a total of three stories, with the second and third floors overlooking the reflecting pool.

This tower is located on the far west side of the island in Murata, in a new development that i am slowly working on.

I plan on continuing this series of remaking the anchor towers (towers of a certain height that help to organize the skyline) from my previous city, so look forward to the occasional update of some of my older projects along with new content

Dimensions of original tower: 25 x 25 x 192

Dimensions of new tower: 33 x 33 x 229 (2m below grade)
