Concrete sat decaying for 16 years- entire structure is ready to collapse under its own weight- threw some cheap glass and aluminum on the outside from Egypt to appear "finished"even though there is nothing on the inside- cant run electricity ( limited in N.K.) or water lines as weight and installation would cause building to fail..
@SeattleRexx They re-enforced the concrete and are repairing the crooked elevator shafts. They're also working on the interior, which will be a hotel, offices and residential floors. You may be right about the electricity shortages (and an extremely plausible lack of tenancy). But the structure isn't going to fail any time soon.
it will never finish....... its been 20 years.. stil not done why? because its just propaganda 1600 people live in Pyongyang 30 million live in a box...
Its a nuclear missile disguised as a hotel

I ever thought no building in Pjonyang may be higher than the statue of his godhead, the eternal leader?
