Nice pic. It's rising fast. You'll be able to see this from the airporter lrt, right?

If you mean the train line to the airport, then, yes.
It's visible around the Tsing Yi station if I remember correctly.

What is the significance of those numbers?

4 = sei ... wich also means death or dead
8 = bat = luck or something like that
That's y IFC2 got 88 floors

how comes they sometimes say theres 90 floors?

Fabb · #87 Posted **Jun 30, 2004, 6:57 PM**

Because there are floors numbered with letters (33b, 33c...)

I must say the Tower looks so much like IFC2 during construction.

ENDOPHINS · #89 Posted **Jul 6, 2004, 7:51 PM**

The shorter one was topped out !!

Fabb · #90 Posted **Jul 6, 2004, 8:42 PM**

Good.
I hope that more workers will be transfered to the taller one.

JACKinBeantown · #91 Posted **Jul 6, 2004, 9:47 PM**

Thanks SanMiguel.

Seems that it's getting more popular to use this kind of construction method. Not only Nina Tower looks like IFC - AIG tower looks like that too.

wow,6 days per floor,but it is still not fast enough to break 2IFC `s record isn`t it?

vincent · #99 Posted **Jul 31, 2004, 7:24 AM**

2ifc floor steel frame definitely rise faster because they make the floor later.
Nina tower's construction method is different. The floor has to be completely finished before it would rise.
