Have you ever visiting a famous haunted building before? Although only seeing it from afar?

There was an old, non-functional watermill next to my village where the miller reportedly turned into a vampire after his death 100+ years ago and there were stories spread amongst the kids that you could still hear the wheel rotating at night sometimes. We used to go there from time to time when we were wee lads, but there was nothing inside save for regurgitated owl pellets and toads hiding from the daylight. They demolished it later.
Not a famous one obviously, but I have nothing better to offer.

At least it's an interesting story to read. Like, you know, story telling but based from our POV.
About me, there's a tower around Cawang, which was built in the end of 90s. It was made by a billionaire who I forgot his name, but the tower was built with luxurious materials imported from Italy, Greece, etc. But one day, during operation in circa 2001/2002 until 2007 (I forgot), there were many mystical troubles like broken lifts, or whatever involving mystical powers in that building. And even after closing in 2008, that building still giving scary mystical auras, such as fictional ojek order, some lamps inside that building are lit even though it's already empty, and many more.
(BTW, the photo on title thread is the tower I meant in this story. It's infamously known as Saidah tower.)

Interesting, I like such stories from urban areas that are not just replicated folklore tropes.
Is it still abandoned and if yes, are there any plans for it from the local authorities or whoever owns it currently?

Yes, Saidah tower is abandoned, but some security staffs still there to guarding the tower. Mayor of south Jakarta had planned to demolish the tower for safety*, but for some reason, the authority haven't yet demolishing the tower.
*I heard that the tower was tilted to several degrees due to potato quality dirt, which was rumored that it was formerly cemetery area.
