No measuring tape needed. Here is yet another piece of evidence of no 62 levels. This is the official sales brochure for the Penthouse. The man with the orange vest looks like an ant from the top.

*l* I can assure you that you don't have this brochure, as they don't give them out to just anyone, feel free to prove me wrong. And on that note, I'm done with this thread as I don't have the patience for it.

You're a fucking idiot dude. Just because the orange vest guy tells you something after the brochure comes out, doesn't mean that the alluded change was effective of that day. Unless you've been walking up to the same guy every day for the past two years asking him the same thing every fucking day.

"Iz teh heitz increezed yet?"

"No."

"Iz it now?"

"No."

"Iz it now?"

"NO!"

"Iz it now?"

"Yes, the changed it just for you Towerguy!"

"Oooooooooohboy! *orgasmz*"

I would advise anyone on here to take Jlousa's account of the height and floor count seriously, he knows what he's talking about.

@towerguy - get a life dude, how old are you anyway, 10? I appreciate the enthusiasm and the fact that you'd like to contribute to the forum with your 'first hand' accounts, but your continual propagation of utter nonsense in this thread attempts to discredit knowledgeable forumers who might otherwise contribute something valuable; which is part of the reason we all visit this page. Knock it off.

If he's ten, then maybe I should edit the last line of my above post.

I would also rely more on Jlousa's info. I think Towerguy is just having fun with us.

BTW, I shit my pants looking at the penthouse floor plan. I was thinking that the pool and amenities seem small for a tower that size, then I saw the private staircase down to the rest of the condo....

Why the vilified, verbal abuse against towerguy3? You should know to take his 'information' with a grain of salt - it's not like we don't know the truth anyways. Referring to Shangri-la, I didn't know the Penthouse was a 2-floor plan. Also, it appears the mechanical floor above the penthouse is very small since the roof sails are not extended very high.

When it comes to the point that the guy that actually knows whats going on leaves because Towerguy and the folks who believe him are being a lot of ignorant fools, it's all deserved. I for one quite enjoyed and appreciated Jlousa's input, and it pisses me right off that he doesn't want to be here any more because he feels he is surrounded by fucking idiots.

Just out of curiosity. why the argument over 62 or 63 floors? It doesn't really make any difference does it?

cause some guy said a guy in an orange vest told him that it was getting an extra floor

which is kind of a lie since the city would have made it public if it had allowed an extra floor and there is no public information about it
