Cash-strapped owners, many of them Chinese homebuilders, are now competing with one another to secure revenue from tenants or buyers at the 73-storey tower after housing sales in the mainland collapsed. Values have been dragged down as a result, with some space now offered at almost 50 percent less than the purchase price. Read more>>
