Modern-day high-rises do not shy away from scaling newer heights.
As urbanisation continues at a rapid clip, the dominion of high-rises keeps expanding. The scarce availability of premium spaces in metro cities only augments the problem. Little wonder then, that high-rises being built these days are 100 m to 200 m tall. Scaling new heights is a natural progression for high-rises globally.
