This high rise apartment with the helicopter landing pad on top was structurally finished when we moved here 4 1/2 years ago. We have heard many different reports as to how much each apartment cost. Some say 3 million reais, some 2 million. It took them 4 1/2 years to do the finishing touches. Seeing how the Empire State Building was built in 1 year and 35 days I would say this would drive me crazy to wait 8-9 years for an apartment I had probably paid for. The first two tenents have moved in and there are lights. This was my landmark when I was lost. Once I saw this building I knew I was ok.
