The lobby is 2 floors, you'll understand once it's open and you can see it.
I believe someone posted the floorplan at one stage, I don't have it anymore.
I'm really not sure what is up with that photo, but I can assure you, having toured some of the units, they are pretty high quality. I'm only talking about the live-work suites, which are the only ones to complete so far - and in my opinion, they are up there with any product in Vancouver, with the possible exception of Aspac's buildings. And yeah, as you mention, you can expect the estate units will be even nicer.
Here are a few more photos that at least do the units some justice as opposed to the crappy screenshots from above.
How did my image end up on image shack!
Anywho, if you want to see some detailed pics I took of 2 units on the 36 and 40th floor check out my flickr sets.
Nice Image. I wonder how much longer this thread has to live, Shangri-La days are almost over. Also with Woodwards and even Fairmont nearing completion we need a new tower going up. I can't wait for Hotel Georgia to start going vertical (of course the RC as well, fingers crossed).
The brown tile is dreadful, the light dangling so low to the vanity sinks is dangerous, and the overall color scheme is 70s esque. I've seen better bathroom treatments in middle class homes.
I must say i was expecting more from the Shangri-La in interior quality and design. It seems very minimal. Maybe because of the wealth of the buyers they are expecting them to rip apart the interiors and hire their own professional designers?

I agree. I was especially disappointed with the flooring. Its not even real wood. However, the one that irks me the most is that the building is nowhere near polished. Residents and owners are still up in arms trying to get things fixed that should have been done when they received their keys.
Now, I know that you can't get anything in perfect condition, but I still expected that the flooring would at least have been finished and all the building junk would have been removed.
The interior looks like in some middle class hotels I´ve stayed at. There´s nothing special, nothing pompous I would condos of these prices expect to have.
But, the people who can afford such an amount of money might also be able to send in their own designers and staff...still the windows are ugly...

Well I would say that the thread should stay up until that Construction Crane (Window Washer) comes down.
^Ya, or until the base is finished/fully occupied. Whichever comes later.
I want to check out that area up the stairway and the VAG component whenever they get finished. And of course we need some people to post pics of those areas in here for those forumers who can't see it in person.
So since those squares don't light up, does that mean we will not be seeing any kind of cool lighting feature from this building? My understanding was that they had to take down the "S" logo from the fins at the top which I was assuming would light up. Which I then thought only left the squares which we were hinted at before had some kind of other purpose that was lighting related. Anyways it would be a shame for our tallest building in the city to go up and not have anything in the night sky saying, " I'm here!" Instead it might just end up looking like another bland condo...
What about just a simple lighting effect that runs along the top of the fins? That way it would not be intrusive to the penthouse owner and will display its height at night.
