The skyline of Chile’s capital city, Santiago, has a new addition with the Gran Torre skyscraper casting a two-kilometre shadow across the historic city.
The 70-storey residential building stands more than 300 metres tall, making it the tallest building in South America. The five-ton steel structure cost an estimated one billion dollars to build and tenants are expected to move into the building next March.

five-ton steel structure... wow, that's big.
five tons is only 10,000 pounds... that seems a little light considering a typical truck is 1 ton... lol.
