The Empire State Building was finished in 1931, very soon after Wall Street crashed. The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur were built in 1998, just after the Asian financial crisis. The Taipei 101 in Taiwan, constructed between 1999 and 2003 was closely linked to the dotcom bubble. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai was opened in early 2010, and shortly afterwards the emirate's investment company collapsed.
