Goldin 117 Tower tops out

Goldin Finance 117 Tower, in Tianjin, China, tops out at 1,957 feet (596 m).  The article says that it is the 2nd tallest structure in the world, but that isn't correct - I think it is the 5th.

They should have made it just a little taller and it would be over 600m and taller than the Mecca Clock Tower.

The list of the tallest buildings in the world is now:
  1. Burj Khalifa, Dubai, 828m (2010) 
  2. Shanghai Tower, 632m (2014).
  3. Abraj Al Bait, Mekka (Mecca Royal Hotel Clock Tower), 601m (2011) 
  4. Ping An Finance Center, Shenzhen, 599m (2016)
  5. Goldin Finance 117 Tower, Tianjin, 596m (2015)
  6. One World Trade Center, New York, 541m (2013) 
  7. CTF Finance Center, Guangzhou, 530m (2016)
  8. Taipei 101, Taipei, 509m (2004) 
  9. Shanghai World Financial Center, 492m (2008) 
  10. International Commerce Center, Hongkong, 484m (2010) 
  11. Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur, 452m (1998) 
  12. Greenland Financial Center (aka Zifeng Tower), Nanjing, 450m (2010)
