US6---265m twins tower!

some_stupid_nut · #**205** Posted **Jul 25, 2004, 3:42 PM**

I thought US6 had a slanted roof? Guess not.

Fabb · #**206** Posted **Jul 25, 2004, 3:52 PM**

I thought that US6 was supposed to exceed 300 m.

Aboveday · #**207** Posted **Jul 25, 2004, 4:11 PM**

Maybe it is the final design ,with flat roof and a bit shorter.
The design of US3 has been changed a lot too.

NO FLAT ROOF!!!!!

Fabb · #**209** Posted **Jul 25, 2004, 5:00 PM**

Too bad US6 is going to be shorter... but it would have been dwarfed by the big neighbour anyhow.

265m only!? What a loser

Aboveday · #**211** Posted **Jul 26, 2004, 11:51 AM**

SHKP is the winner ,they chopped it off to save more money.

I found two version of US6 in shkp.com,
one with flat roof:

one with slanted roof

The slanted roof version is 295m according to http://home.t-online.de/home/wleonhard/hkunion6.htm.

US7 - still a big hole but there's this thing which look like a crane to me.

ENDOPHINS · #**213** Posted **Jul 26, 2004, 6:03 PM**

ENDOPHINS · #**214** Posted **Jul 29, 2004, 6:51 AM**

The cover of PRC magazine issue 17 (MAy 2004)
New poster for my bedroom...ha

The advertisement by the main contractor of US3,6,7

I believe this is the finalized version of US7

"Union Square 7 483m -superhighrise in progress by Sanfield"
483 mPD? good....

vincent · #**216** Posted **Jul 31, 2004, 7:59 AM**

oh, the crane thing was there since early this year.

Rachmaninov, do you see people working around or in the US7 hole? or machine running?

It's more like an artist's rendering.

Good news if the height is 483 m !

Rachmaninov · #**218** Posted **Aug 2, 2004, 5:19 AM**

Nope, nobody was working there in the hole. I think it's because that was a Sunday...
Anyway, I think that's 483mPD at the top roof. I don't think it's the building height.

Fabb · #**219** Posted **Aug 2, 2004, 7:06 AM**

What do you mean ? that the glass-wall extentions will be even higher ? I doubt it.
