I can't believe how tall it's getting. From arguably the slowest tower in the city to one of the fastest in only a year.

The cladding is very reminiscent of SWFC.

Yeah, it kind of is. However, it is much more silver as opposed to SWFC's blue...although its super reflectiveness makes it harder to pinpoint an actual color. Reflective glass and minimalism are "in" this decade--as this theme is being used on practically every scraper project going up every where.

You've been lurking around my hood a lot lately...or should I say former hood. Damn China and it's newly strict visa policies.

Looks like giallo land.

Soon the Wheelock will be the most dominant building in the area.

Yeah, UZ came by my place today for a visit. The door was open to the roof (which has never happened), so we nerded out for a good 20 minutes taking pictures.

The picture turned out great, bro.

... easy to spot : between the two pyramidal roofs.
I like a challenge like that.
We should play that game more often... without the hint next time ?

Damn, I wish I could see those photos, but the connection here at my Bangkok hotel isn't the best.

Visiting my little brother who lives here. I decided to go down to KL too on Thursday, partly because of your brilliant photo thread a while ago!
