John McClane, an off-duty NYPD officer that came to LA to spend Christmas with his estranged wife and children, managed to slip away from the terrorists and hide in the top five floors of the building, where he slipped around in the shadows, used his surroundings to his advantage and started a one-man war with the terrorists, destroying much of the building in the process, with no help from the LAPD (except Al Powell), who do not want to gamble with the lives of the hostages.

The skyscraper was nearing completion at the time, but after the events of the film, during which many bombs were dropped down elevator shafts and entire floors were lit on fire and destroyed, it is likely that the skyscraper needed to be heavily remodled, and its fate after the events of the film is unknown.
