Shanghai Tower was completed in 2014, and is the world's second tallest skyscraper, at 2073 ft, (behind Burj Khalifa in Dubai). However, it is a commercial failure. Only 33% of the space is occupied and there are 55 floors (out of 128) which are completely empty. Part of the problem is that due to the building's design, floorspace cannot be efficiently utilized.
To make matters worse, on July 6, 2020, half the building had a severe water leak where waterfalls running from the ceiling ruined office furniture and equipment. See video at
