Two International Finance Centre

Description
Two International Finance Centre, completed in 2003, is attached to the second phase of the ifc mall. This 415 m tall building is currently Hong Kong's tallest, is quoted as having 88 storeys to qualify as being extremely auspicious in Chinese culture, and 22 high-ceiling trading floors. In actual fact, however, it is short of the magic number, due to the fact that the "taboo floors" like 14th and 24th etc., are omitted as being inauspicious - 14 sounds like "definitely fatal" and 24 like "Easily fatal" in Cantonese. The highrise is designed to accommodate financial firms. For example, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is located at the 55th floor. It is equipped with advanced telecommunications, raised floors for flexible cabling management, and nearly column-free floor plans. The building expects to accommodate up to 15,000 people. It is one of relatively few buildings in the world equipped with double-deck elevators.

Looks like we have another city that has been added to Cities in Development. Welcome, City and Province of Messina, Sicily Italy

One Biscayne Tower

Description
One Biscayne Tower is an office skyscraper in downtown Miami, Florida. It is located on the eastern edge of the Central Business District, on South Biscayne Boulevard. It is comprised completely of Class A office space. The building contains 39 floors and is 492 ft (150 m) tall, to the roof. The 200-foot (61 m) antenna on top of the building raises its total height, including antenna, to nearly 700 feet (213 m). When built in 1972, it was the tallest building in Miami and Florida, and held this status until the Miami Center was topped off in 1981. The building, although relatively short compared to many of the newer skyscrapers in Miami, remains a symbol of the city. It appears on most postcards of the skyline and remains a signature building of Miami, due to its age.

It remains the tallest office tower in Florida at a height of 764 feet (233 meters).

Kabul International Airport



Description

Kabul Airport was built in the 1970s. Due to international sanctions under the Taliban, the airport was all but closed, with few international flights. Following the United States attack on Afghanistan after the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York, the airport reopened. At first, it was only for the US military and the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), a NATO-led peacekeeping force. After the removal of UN sanctions, in early 2002, it was finally allowed to be used for civilian airlines. The US military and ISAF (with the Romanian Air Force a lead contributor) run the airport and provide security with the Afghan authorities.
