A view of the under-construction Goldin Finance 117 skyscraper is seen in Tianjin on July 14, 2026. The world's tallest unoccupied skyscraper was meant to boast a rooftop swimming pool and a luxury hotel once completed, but instead it has stood deserted in the Chinese port city of Tianjin for years. Work on the soaring Goldin Finance 117 began in 2008, but construction stalled as its developer fell into debt, and the tower remains unfinished 18 years on.
