SHANGHAI | Changfeng Commercial City | 781 FT / 238 M | 58 FLOORS

I live within spitting distance of this pregnant betty, so I may as well cover it. I like it...it's elegant, yet slutty.








With my apartment on the left





















Thoughts?

This particular building seems a little bland to me. Shanghai has such a collection of really futuristic skyscrapers that I don't think this one is going to be noticed. Thanks for posting the pics though. That must be a very interesting place to live. I visited Shanghai in 1987 and there weren't any skyscrapers at all. I'd love to go back again.

I like it, although the bottom half looks a little fat.

Thanks for making this thread (as well as informing me about it). I previously had no idea what this building was. Here it is from my kitchen window:

Notice how quickly it has progressed in the last 3 months!

It's topped out, right?
Elegant, yet slutty - there we go. I like it.

It really stands out in some perspectives.

Fairly nice shape.

I really do not like this building very much. It seems too odd. Even for Shanghai.

It looks like a distant cousin of the new AIG building in HK.
