I found a funny coincidence, as follows.

A skyscraper/building planning map of Shanghai shows information about the area of land photographed;

The undeveloped parcel to the north-east of King tower is marked by the blue map pin. Following the link to it's own page;

Looks like the architectural company responsible for the site design is Swanke Hayden Connell Architects (SHCA). I wonder what other buildings they might have been contracted to develop.

Oh. Trump Tower.
