This is the second phase to the Plaza 66 complex. It's just off Shimen station in Puxi. It will be a 240m office tower. I don't have a rendering of the final design. Anyone?

Wow lots of construction... any renderings?

[avcellvs]

Here are some renderings that were on the plot in november 2004 :

I wonder which rendering will be the final one. I like the the second diagram best. The curve up top is interesting.

What's the building under construction in the background of this pic?

[avcellvs]

It's the DongHai Plaza which is on hold for nearly Two years

[Urban Zombie®]

^Although the skeleton has become "fuller" in the past months--I'm wondering if construction has resumed (?)

[giallo]

Check this out, Anton and avcellvs. I was in the Jing An district tonight when I noticed something weird with Donghai Plaza. Six panes of glass have been installed at around the 25th and 26th floor. Behind these windows were lights and what looked like furnishings. I've never seen anything like it. Further evidence that this tower may be back on track was welding at the very top of the crown. Sparks were flying.

Here is a photo I took. If you look carefully you can see some sparks up top.

Stunning Tower, just like it's big brother.

[RLS_rls]

That is one HAWT tower. I'm really anticipating it!

Work has started on the crown. I'm pretty sure now that the final product will look like the second and third rendering avcellvs posted.

Greats shots of the top ! Thanks, Giallo.

[DamienK]

The crown is beginning already? Is it still 240 m or has its height been reduced?

[skysoldier]

The crown is beginning already? Is it still 240 m or has its height been reduced?

It looks like 226m tall comparing to the nearby Donghai Tower ...

[giallo]

It looks about right. It was listed as 45 stories way back when and it was at the 41st floor back in late December. The crown on this thing is huge too. It will probably add another 65 feet or so. My friend has a perfect view of Plaza 66 phase 1 + 2 side by side. I should take a picture next time I'm there for comparison's sake.
Just a FYI: Plaza 66 is 951ft and phase 2 is pegged at 792ft.

[Fabb]

^Fantastic views of the crown under construction !

[giallo]

Here is a side by side comparison of the two towers. Phase one stands at 951ft/288m.
Phase two still has a bit of constuction left at the top. It look to be around 60m shorter than phase 1 at this point, so I don't think the height was reduced.

[giallo]

Well, it looks like they aren't going with the curved crown. I guess it'll be the slanted one. I liked the curved one better, but I'll save my judgement on this until it's finished.

edit: hmm, doesn't seem to be working. odd...

[DamienK]

Great. I like how they're perpendicular to each other - when one appears fat, the other appears slim, and vice versa.

[Fabb]

Right.
They function perfectly together.

Good call.

I’m back from my huge China trip and of course I also covered all the construction going on there. So I have construction updates for buildings in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xi’an, Hangzhou and Suzhou. It will take a while until I post all of them here, since I took over 13,800 photos during the trip and as you can imagine it takes a while to sort through all of them, but let’s start with Shanghai.

All Shanghai updates were taken between 16th and 21st August

I haven't been paying too much attention to this one lately, but I did walk around it yesterday and was very impressed with the cladding.


I like the three skin layered look

KPF knows how to do it nice and refined !

[staff]

Nice pics, giallo.
Funny, because I was there yesterday as well, and I got a very similar bunch of photos on my harddrive. ;)

[Lecom]

Phase 1 is a beautiful tower.

[malec]

stunners

[Thskyscraper]

:previous: Nice.

[Fabb]

Phase 1 is a beautiful tower.

Phase 2 was doomed to be overlooked.
That's too bad.

Awesome looking tower! I didnt know this was a KPF project, some reason I am not surprised at the quality of design.

[Fabb]

Good photos !
It looks like it's completed now.

[Rise To The Top]

looks done to me... when will it be occupied?
