The 77-story tower beats the skyscraper that previously held the title, Baiyoke Tower II, by 33 feet.
The MahaNakhon skyscraper ranked 89th in the list of the world's tallest buildings.
Seven years after it was announced, the 77-floor MahaNakhon building will light up its “distressed cyberhelix” curtain wall with light shows at 7:30pm and 8:25pm on Monday.
It's a show for all of Bangkok best seen more than a few hundred meters away, or several kilometers.
The building is designed for a mix of retail, hotel and residential use— it holds 200 condo units managed by Ritz-Carlton Residences.
According to experts, the cost per square meter in the new skyscraper will beat the metropolitan records and will start at prices of about 40 million baht and much, much higher.
