Well Shanghai's 2nd tallest skyscraper plaza 66 is 66 stories which is 288 metres. So 60 Stories based on that is about 261 metres.

It depends on the architecture, there is no standard height for a floor:

The Baiyoke Tower in Bangkok is 304 metres high with 90 floors but the Burj al Arab Hotel in Dubai is 321m high with only 60 floors.

Is that pic really the planned skyscraper or did you use photoshop to make it? I don't really care, I just find it hard to believe that a skyscrapper that looks that futuristic would be in Vietnam in 2008.
