I haven't seen this footage before (or a DIVX watermark post 2k3 for that matter), and while it's cool I also think it's a fake (via CGI). If you look at historical pictures of the construction here, you can see the rooftop in the right foreground isn't a perfect match. Also, I don't think they had 'sicky-sicky gnar-gnar' timelapse technology in the 1960s that could make it appear to have been built in under 3 days. And who builds a skyscraper at night anyway?
If anything, this is probably from some Department of Defense propaganda fear-flick to illustrate what it would look like if American cities were built by future Chinese invaders/investment groups. Fear the efficiency!!

Sadly we’ll never see the remake of Red Dawn, even though they finished most of the filming….a victim of all sorts of nonsense and the economy.
