I love the WFC, but was never much of a fan of the Jin Mao. I have to say though, both look equally as incredible at night! When their big sibling is complete this will surely be the most beautiful city in the world, no? I would give anything to go to one of those rooftop parties for the view! ^__^

God damn Shanghai is SO COOL!

I think Jin Mao and the financial center make the best supertall pair in the world, can't wait to see this one join in!

I was in Lujiazui for dinner last night, and did a quick Shanghai Tower update while there.

Wow, mind blowing shots. What a great setup they have going.

I got a whole pile of Shanghai tower shots. Got to get off my lazy ass and post them before they get too stale.

I'm glad this is really developing, what a beauty.

Really cool building.

Lecom · #10 Posted **Jul 2, 2012, 4:56 AM**

This is propably the most well-designed supertall, let alone megatall, under construction in the world at the moment.

Holy crap. This thing is nowhere near topped out and it's already one of the tallest buildings in Shanghai.

colemonkee · #15 Posted **Jul 11, 2012, 6:57 PM**

You're also not getting an accurate idea of it's final girth from those last two photos, as the outer wall of the atrium is still slowly going in. This thing is going to be massive.

Can't wait to go to Shanghai,, spend 5Grand just for pics...

This building is amazing. Probably my favorite supertall being built anywhere. So jealous its not being constructed in NYC.

It wouldn't be built in NYC. AT least not exactly as is. Aside from the WTC complex, pretty much every building in New York City is built on a finite amount of space and has retail at the street level. That's what makes New York such a pedestrian friendly and inviting city. But I digress... yes, a 2,000 footer in NYC would be amazing.

While Jin Mao doesn't have a lot of retail right at the base, SWFC does. I'd be surprised if Shanghai Tower doesn't.

Can't help it: I really don't find Shanghai's skyline appealing at all. The supertalls don't complement each other (IMO). They appear to be a pack of prima donnas, each screaming "LOOK AT ME!" Each building is beautiful but together I think they make a rather unappealing set.
