It's 62 without a doubt, I don't know why people are arguing over this. If its 62 then just let it be.

I really don't know why it matters.

My house in Calgary is a 98 storey house, because I don't like the numbers 2 - 97.

Think of Shangri-La as a 60-story Ikea bookshelf. You don't wipe it down until AFTER you've put it together.

Yikes, I don't think I'd want to live in something that was put together with nothing more than a cheap IKEA wrench

You mean the one BMW 750, that's now advertising Shangri-la Toronto which happens to be the same car the developer used during the Fairmont Pacific Rim sales drive? Nope never seen it.

I think your reffering to the 2008 BMW 750Li which are priced around $80,000 - $120,000.
