Is it just me, or is this tower going up REALLY fast!
BTW when was it that it first started rising from ground level?

mr.x · #64 Posted **Feb 14, 2008, 3:31 AM**

amazing pics, thx for posting. it appears that the main tower is already half done (according to the pictures); that's 20 of the 40 floors.

it'll be interesting to see how they'll incorporate all the greenery:

I think they started early spring, but in the last few weeks it seemed to go really up fast, they are at half point and on the third level of phase two of the second tower, and on the second level for the rest of the complex.
It going to be an awesome complex when finished

I love that view.

There are now on floor 23 (level 21/40), so a little over halfway in height, they are climbing at exactly 1floor/week, The Abbott tower after the current floor will also start climbing at the same rate. Just a note the second tower isn't phase 2 as the whole project is techincally one phase.

It's starting to make it's impact on the skyline.

Wow, looks thicker than I expected from that angle.

^ great shot!!! thx!!!!

and here's the construction update i made for it.....hard to believe it's more than half its final height (if only it was 600 feet like one of the other proposals):

this project will just sink into the skyline instead of making any change to it, though it is sticking up on the eastside. but i dont c how even shangri-la and ritz can change the skyline too much, as the overall shape and surrounding is just too dense and wide.

mmmm.... have you looked at the skyline lately or seen any photos? because it's quite obvious that the skyline has already changed dramatically b/c of shangri-la

^clearly.

jlousa · #77 Posted **Mar 3, 2008, 3:45 AM**

That numbering scheme is off, they poured level 25 yesterday, there is no 4th floor and it looks like you miscounted.

mr.x · #78 Posted **Mar 3, 2008, 4:50 AM**

^ i screwed up the 10th floor. so, there are no 4th, 13th, 24th, and 34th floors?

this whole superstition about numbers thing is ridiculous and embarrassing, not just locally since i know it is a widespread practice but for the human race in general.
as adults in a secular, science-based world we can't build a floor and label it a number that naturally follows the one before? when are people going to get over those silly notions?
seriously, it's 2008, not 400 b.c.

Well... when you're presumably looking to get foreign investors (particularly of the rich Asian variety), you have to play up to their superstitions. They're still quite big over there
