Just visited Shanghai for the first time this week. The city is amazing and this tower is a giant. It makes Jin Mao look tiny in comparison.
It was especially cool seeing Pudong at night. All the buildings lit up brightly and this one sort of looming over all of them. As if they didnt know about the giant that was about to crush them.
Best supertall of the past 20 years. One of the most awesome buildings ever. Not just because of height, but because of aesthetics and quality. Leaves the Burj behind.

I guess it depends on how you view it, there was an official 'top off' ceremony last year.

I know we all keep going on and on about how amazing this building is, but... this has got to be the most graceful building on the planet, and it's not even finished yet.
