About 1 floor a week on concrete supports.

It really looks like an improbable giant in that last photo.

Look at the congestion on one side of the road !
That's what happens when a business center is not pedestrian-friendly.

That road leads to the tunnel to the Bund side of the river. That's a serious choke point as there are only so many ways across the Huangpu. The subway is one of the alternatives though.

The facade gives the illusion that its has around 200 floors. So keep this in mind that its not that tall as it looks like. At first glance it appears to be taller than Burj Dubai.

Bergenser · #**2069** Posted **Oct 25, 2007, 8:16 AM**

^ Yeah.
I can't belive the Burj Dubai is ~100 metres taller than this building.

Fabb · #**2070** Posted **Oct 25, 2007, 8:40 AM**

It looks almost the same day after day. Kind of boring.
Most of the progress must happen inside the building now.

It's nice out today... and its been a week since flickr has produced anything decent,

.

giallo · #**2072** Posted **Nov 1, 2007, 9:12 AM**

^ I don't know about nice, but it was clearer than it has been recently.
I've just moved in to a new place in the Jing An district and my roof has a pretty good view of the top third of the tower. I have to figure out a decent bride for the maintenance guy though. He wouldn't let me out on the roof today when I asked. Bastard.

I took these pictures last week.

From Raddison Hotel revolving restaurants:

Royal Meridien Bar on 65th Floor: the best view of SH IMHO...

Hope you'll like them

Bonus: Bund from starbucks:

Two minutes after the lights turned on.. It's not all golden yet!

Have you tried using "K" yet? I'm sure she'd make a great "bride" when bartering for roof-access!

Anyway, I didn't know you moved already, you naughty boy! How long until you get net access this time around?

Wow, that is the best picture I've ever seen of this building. Thank you for posting Fabb!
