Unfortunately, the original thread on this building was trimmed, so we'll have to start fresh.
It's located on Nanjing West Rd. in the heart of the Jing An Business District. It will be a 58 floor office tower and the tallest in Puxi until the Kerry Center expansion and the Xujiahui Tower top it in the coming years.
This building has taken a long time to rise (it officially started back in 2004), but finally (as of October 2007), it's on it's way up, waaay up!
Architect: Kohn Pedersen Fox

I stopped covering it for over a year as they built the underground floors. I went back in September 2007 to find this:

I've just moved in to a new apartment that is three blocks away from this site, so expect a detailed account of this building in the coming months/years.
