Chengdu, Tianfu Financial Center.
(don't ask, how much research this was ... )
Correct (it was guessed twice on the last page so I didn't think it would be so hard).
I don't have any skyline pictures from my trip there but here's one of the locals busy at his day job.

Your turn Flipster.

The combination of various European flags and stars makes me think that it's something to do with the EU as an institution. It's not one of the main buildings in Brussels or Strasbourg (and the numberplates aren't Dutch so not in NL), but could be one of the bits of admin that has been outsourced to member countries?

But the (then-)EC only adopted the star flag of the Council of Europe in the mid-1980s, stars weren't really a thing before then so unless it's something directly connected to the Council of Europe then I guess it post-dates the mid-80s? But architecturally it dates to before plate glass becoming a thing around the millennium-ish? So 1990s expansion time?
 
Not Portugal.
Not Ukraine (although the Ukrainian flag is indeed on the wall behind the columns).

There's a lot of truth and hints in this!
It's not NL and it's EU related. But it's not an administrative bit, more like a memorial.
The building is from the late-00s, referring to the mid-80s, as a twentyfive years anniversary (there are glass plates on the other side).
 
Oh, and while typing @pvpeacock solved it.
It is the European Museum in Schengen, Luxembourg.

It was opened 2010, exactly 25 years after the Schengen Agreement was signed by the first five participants. The Schengen Agreement was incorporated in the EU laws 1999.
I had a visit to this monument last year and was touched by the history of this place. And I'm a big fan of the result!
