World's 2nd tallest building opens after two-year delay
Hong Kong
AFTER more than two years of red tape that kept tenants from moving in, China's tallest skyscraper, the Shanghai Tower, has been quietly opening and filling office space.
More than 60 companies now occupy office space on its 128 floors - including some big names in China finance, such as Ant Financial, controlled by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd's billionaire founder Jack Ma. The building's basement burger joint, Fatburger & Fatbar, is positioning itself as a go-to spot for after-work drinks.
