Do you remember the days when you built the tallest building in the world it would hold the record for longer than one month?  Well it seems in this new "Global Economy" that every country needs a super tall statement.  Japan has joined the conversation with the newly proposed mile-high skyscraper that is set to reach a height of 5,577ft (read: one mile).  If you are new to the super tall skyscraper game, you may not know that the announced height of 5,577 feet is like a "ASPR" (the Architects Suggested Project Height) kind of like an MSRP for the consumer industry, because there are always multiple projects in the works to be the tallest.  These final heights are a closely guarded secret that is often not reviled until the final months of the project.
