Chapter 536: Canaan Street
"You can't use up this building, a total of 310 floors and 1,612 meters. ”
John originally didn't want to build so high, but when he thought that the local tyrants in the Middle East would build a building in a few years, he raised the height, if he built a 900 meters, the Dubai tyrants could surpass it when he saw his strength, and when the time came, he would not be disgusted by building a 901 meters, so John suddenly increased the height to 1600 meters, so that the Dubai tyrants were completely dead.
Dubai originally wanted to build the Kingdom Tower a mile high, but the soil on their side was too soft to build, so in the end it was changed to build a kilometer high, and John now built 1,600 meters to extinguish Dubai's desire to build the world's tallest building.
Staten wants to be a tourist attraction, no gimmicks, no exposure, so to attract tourists?
People do a good job in Dubai tourism, playing is a gimmick, a high-rise building, a luxury star hotel, a lot of infrastructure, so big that there is no humanity, but such a strategy has proven to be really useful and has attracted many tourists.
Since it is useful, John naturally wants to use it, isn't it just to build high-rise buildings and luxury hotels?
John had nothing else, and was so poor that he had nothing but money.
"So high!"
Weilan Stillman looked at John in surprise, she didn't expect Building 3 to be so tall with candles in the wind, she thought it was only sixty or seventy floors.
The highest candle flame in the wind is the third building in the middle, with 1,612 meters on the 310th floor, followed by the second and fourth buildings on both sides, with 1,389 meters on the 277th floor, and the shortest is the first and fifth buildings on the two sides with 1,033 meters on the 206th floor.
In order to match, John also raised the spiral tower to 289 floors and 1449 meters, which is just a little higher than the candle flame in the wind Building 1245, and a little lower than the third building, such a height will not be covered by the candle flame in the wind, nor will it steal the limelight of the candle flame in the wind.
But in doing so, John inadvertently raised the floor of the financial center, and the difference between five or six hundred meters was too large, so the later floors were basically between seven or eight hundred meters. The gap is small, and the whole will not be too abrupt.
"Then rent it all to me!"
Weylan Stillman was amazed by the height of the building, but then he was arrogant enough to rent the entire building.
Banks involve a lot of business and need a lot of office space, so no matter what the city, the bank building must not be short, if not the tallest.
Citibank's headquarters in Manhattan is a 49-story building.
Now that Willyl Stillman knows how tall the candle flame is in the wind, he wants to move Citigroup's headquarters here.
Citibank is not the same as Citibank, Citibank is only one of the 14 subsidiaries of Citigroup, and Citibank has 13 subsidiaries such as securities, funds, investment trusts, and financial leasing in addition to Citibank.
"You're done!" John looked at Willan Stillman suspiciously.
"That's right!" Weilan Stillman nodded. "I'm going to move Citigroup's headquarters here, a Citibank needs 60 floors of office space, and thirteen financial companies, each of which needs about 15-20 floors of office space, plus I need to change the top 20 floors into a dining and leisure area, at least 310 floors are enough, so this building is just right, from today this building will be called Citibank Building!"
Weilan Stillman's calculations are very fine, and he rents tens of millions of dollars a year, which not only solves the office space of 14 companies, but also saves a lot of advertising costs, "the world's tallest building, Citibank Building", even if he goes to the Super Bowl to advertise, it is not as effective.
"By the way, who are you going to rent these four buildings next to? Weilan Stillman said.
"Don't worry! These buildings are all owned. John knew what Weilan Stillman meant, and was afraid that he would find some small companies that were not up to par and affect the value of the entire area, just like Chanel would not stay with a bunch of miscellaneous brands.
"Next to you, Building 2 1 to 15 for the stock exchange, 16 to 70 for Fidelity Investment Group, 71 to 120 for KKR Group, 121 to 170 for PNC Group, 171 to 210 for The Carlyle Group, 211 to 277 for Blackstone.
Floors 1 through 15 of Building 4 are for the New York Industrial Exchange, 16 to 70 for International Group, 71 to 120 for Bain Capital, 121 to 170 for TPG Group, 171 to 210 for Oaktree Capital, and 211 to 277 for Goldman Sachs.
Floors 1 to 15 of Building One are for the Nasdaq Exchange, 16 to 60 for Vanguard, 61 to 100 for American Express, 101 to 140 for Prudential Financial Group, and 141 to 206 for Black Rock Group.
Floors 1 to 15 of Building 5 are for the New York Metal and Petroleum Exchange, floors 16 to 60 are for Pacific Investments, 61 to 110 are for State Street, 111 to 160 are for Prudential Financial Group, and 161 to 206 are for Morgan Stanley.
As for the spiral tower, 1 to 100 to Morgan Bank, 101 to 150 high-end apartments, 151 to 250 crown hotels, 251 to 289 are open to tourists to visit, shop, and dine. ”
John originally wanted to build the top 10 floors of the spiral tower into his own private apartment and experience the feeling of living in the clouds, but this proposal was rejected by Daini, who thought it was not safe, in case any of the two hundred and five flew a plane and crashed into it, or which stock speculator went bankrupt with a bomb tied to the body and bombed the building, and he couldn't run away when he lived so high, so Daini resolutely rejected John's idea, but Daini said that when the top floor was open, John could be allowed to go up for dinner.
Dani was so generous, John was moved to tears!
However, this reminds John that these buildings are landmarks, and they are definitely the preferred targets for many extremists, and if they hit it by flying a plane, it will be okay, and there are tens of thousands of people living in each building, and one will die if they die, so John called the person in charge of security, and strictly stipulated that the 30-kilometer range around these buildings is set as a no-fly zone, and if anyone dares to fly in, regardless of whether he is a civil aviation or a passenger transporter, he will directly greet it with a patriot.
Dead friends don't die poor!
"Honestly, if I don't rent Building Three, who will you give it to?"
Weilan Stillman knew that John must have made arrangements.
"Ready to the Bank of America. John replied, and didn't hide it.
Wilan Stillman secretly said that if she didn't come to Building 3, it wouldn't be the Citibank Building, and then it would be called the Bank of America Building.
Although Citibank also has shares in the Morgan family, it is only a minority after all, and the Morgan family of the Bank of America is a controlling shareholder, so it is only natural for John to give Building 3 to the Bank of America, but Weilan Stillman opened his mouth and John gave it to Citibank without even thinking about it, which simply made Weilan Stillman very impressed, and raised John's evaluation to a higher level in his heart.
I am willing to suffer a little loss myself, but also let my allies benefit, and I can only feel at ease when I cooperate with such a person.
"Then you gave me this building, what will I do with the Bank of America?"
"Canaan Street is bigger than Wall Street, and there are 918-meter Kingdom Towers, 835-meter Shards, and 766-meter Wings Towers next to each other. "John, an infrastructure maniac, is very interested in building buildings, and is ready to build nine skyscrapers on this side of the financial center at once.
The financial center of Manhattan is called Wall Street, and the financial center of Staunton is called Canaan Street, the name is taken from the Canaan land in the Bible, and legend has it that this land is the promised land flowing with milk and honey, which is very rich, so John named the financial center Canaan Street, hoping that it will always be rich.
