Yeah, I saw it. Unfortunately, I was in a mad rush and only got to the SWFC and SIFC.

This building is taking forever. Not sure what the hold up is. It's got nothing on the Wheelock Square though. That fucking thing isn't even out of the ground yet and its been UC for almost two years.

Yeah, Wheelock has officially beaten out the Waterview Tower as the slowest damned tower in the universe.

I went past this tower today but didn't bother to take any pictures. It's been months since anything has happened here.

Is it much taller than in my latest photos?

What's wrong with Wheelock? Dang..

I hope it got cancelled. Ugliest building in the world set to go up.

I wish they had gone for the gothic building. I'm definitely not someone who hates immitating old styles, it can be good but if the massing, etc isn't right then it just looks shit.

Is that giant circular hole in the middle going to extend the length of the building? If so, its got my respect because a 40 story atrium would be sick...

I cannot believe they are going ahead with this project. Everything about it is wrong IMO.

Shanghai_Fan · #50 Posted **Sep 20, 2007, 3:49 PM**

It's been on hold for nine months at least. Let's hope it's been cancelled or something.

Any news about this one?

giallo · #52 Posted **Apr 27, 2008, 2:19 AM**

This one seems to be on permanent hiatus. I'm not crying over it

Thanks for the update. I'm very interested in how this one turns out.

I think the most interesting thing about this building will be the atrium that goes all the way up the center of the main tower.

Ew, I had almost forgot about this hideous piece of crap.

Fabb · #58 Posted **Jul 2, 2008, 7:34 PM**

Maybe it's meant to be seen from within.

This piece of crap (it's called the Ping'An Tower btw-- if a mod wants to change the title) is about to top out.

The photographer (from ss.cn) doesn't seem to be a fan either.
