I must say, I cannot wait until I live in my first condo. Sure, it's really just a box in the sky, but there's something so appealing about being able to look out over your own city at night. Though living on the 80th floor certainly doesn't fly with me, I do appreciate those insanely tall structures, which is why I put together these 36 sleek skyscrapers.
Even if you prefer to live with your feet on the ground, you can still appreciate the engineering genius that went into these buildings. While you check out these 36 sleek skyscrapers, I think I am going to go apartment hunting.
