To all - exciting "who has the tallest building" news. September 29, 1999 Chicago OKs Tallest Building Plan Filed at 10:38 p.m. EDT By The Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) -- The City of Big Shoulders has taken a big step toward being home to the world's tallest building -- again. The city council on Wednesday unanimously approved a developer's plans for a 108-story, 1,550-foot-tall skyscraper. Alderman Burton Natarus said the slender, still-unnamed mega-building would be a ``bonanza' for the city in tax income. The $500-million structure would include offices, condominiums, retail stores and parking spaces. It would be built at the site of a 17-story building located about six blocks from the 1,450-foot Sears Tower, knocked from its spot as world's tallest building in 1996. The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, reign as the tallest buildings in the world at 1,483 feet. Copyright 1999 The New York Times Company
