According to Wikipedia, "the highest tower of the building will be named Kazakhstan."

Considering Astana literally means "capital city", I think that has been well established. I mean, they did rename it again, but I'm not sure it was that much of an improvement.

Kinda awkward, given that according to Wikipedia, of the 74 buildings in the world over 350m, 35 are in China. The next nearest country, the UAE, has 13 and the US has 11. In terms of cities with the most skyscrapers, China accounts for 6 of the top 10 in the world. New York (3), Dubai (4), Tokyo (6) and Chicago (7) are the only non-Chinese cities; Hong Kong (1), Shenzhen (2), Shanghai (5), Chongqing (8), Guangzhou (9) and Wuhan (10) are the Chinese cities. If you count Shenzhen and Guangzhou as one, as Jetpunk often does, then Shenyang and Singapore, which are tied, move up into 10th place. Guangzhou-Shenzhen stays second, but has substantially closed HK's massive lead. Anyway, point is China is basically THE country for skyscrapers.

Abu dhabi plaza doesn't seem appropriate here as it's a plaza consisting of five buildings. The supertall building is called Qasaqstan tower. So it would be appropriate to put _________ tower, abu dhabi plaza as the clue.
