Great shots! It looks like the steel is about halfway up, based on the curvature. Is that a safe assumption?

This one's a bit older than giallo's brilliant updates.

Much more than halfway up.
I counted about 30 floors out of 43.

Nice updates Giallobonono and Staff. Has the rumour of the height increase been settled yet?

AntonAusTirol,
Since the sign still says 220m I wouldn't put my hopes to high...
I wonder where that rumour came from?

I'm afraid I have to agree. Someone should ask an engineer at the site.

I can't remember where the info came from, but I'm pretty sure it's cited somewhere in this thread.

Here's the origin of the rumour :

According to a moderator of Skyscrapers.cn the final height of this wonder has been raised to 288.8 m

I like the precision of the new height figure. It adds credibility.

giallo

Sep 14, 2006, 12:08 PM

I'm going to say it probably won't change, but this being Shanghai anything is possible.

If it does reach 288.8m, it will add incredible depth and shape to the Pudong Skyline.

giallo,
First day we see the sun in 3 weeks and you don't inform me that you're going out for a session?
Damn you.

This looks like it's taken from pretty high up - which building?

Nice find Fabb! BTW, in a related update, there is a lot more glass on the backside of the Development Tower (to the Jasper's right). I was pleasantly surprised to see that the other day when I was lurking around those parts.

giallo

May 16, 2007, 4:31 AM

Yeah, the Development Tower is turning out to be the real winner in this area of Lujiazui.
Jasper looks good here though. I'm just not a big fan of the glass colour.

Although, I'm still not impressed by the colour of the glass. The Development Tower looks more exciting from this perspective imo.

Totally. I'm disappointed with the Jasper Tower. They blew it with the glass colour.
