Lining up Jakarta's skyscrapers along the CBD with Wisma 46 as the centerpiece. Wisma 46 is designed by Zeidler Partnership and has been well-known for being Indonesia's tallest building; and Jakarta's most distinguished skyscrapers with its unique shape resembling an elegant fountain pen. Singapore may have a "Durian" (The Esplanade); and Beijing has a "Bird's Nest" (Olympic Stadium) and "Trousers Pants" (CCTV Tower); but Jakarta has an elegant "Fountain Pen". Although it may not be the tallest building in Indonesia now, -with the completion of Menara BCA and The Kempinski Residences at the Grand Indonesia Mall complex; and construction at The Jakarta Tower (558m) is coming soon-, Wisma 46 remains one of the nation's most distinguished and unique building.
