Supertalls in Tianjin

Tianjin will soon have 3 of the tallest buildings in the world. 

1.  The Goldin Finance 117, which will be 597 meters (1959 ft) with 117 stories and is expected to be completed in 2014.
2. The Rose Rock International Finance Center, which will be 588 m (1,929 ft).  It is being built by the Rockefellers and broke ground in December 2011.
3. The CTF Tower will be  530 m (1740 ft).  It will have "retail at the base, topped with offices, 300 residential units, and a 350-room, 5-star hotel."

In comparison, 1 WTC in NY will be 541m when complete.

Tianjin will surely soon become one of the top 25 cities in the world, along with nearby Beijing.  I currently have it ranked #43 and #5 in China.

==========================
Besides these there is the R&F Tower, which will be 468m (1535 ft) with 91 stories when completed in 2015.  It's not a supertall, but still taller than the Empire State Building.
