From the WFC thread - Bottom middle - What is that tower going up on the bottom left?

Almost topped out.

The tower will top out at the same level of the Bocom Financial Towers (brown tower).

That sucks!
These twins deserve to be at their original planned height of 320m so they poke up above all but the supertalls.

The underground structure is very impressive. It seems that an entire buried complex is being built at the foot of the towers.

^^^ Simply awesome. I know I shouldn't like it, but the neon is sweet. I think that is the major difference between the Asian skyline versus Western skylines. (lighting in general)

This tower has been one of my favorites, and I'm glad it's more than lived up to its' render.

Its not just the lighting, its the vast variety of architecture and facade colours. Most skylines have a dull or darker colouring scheme, ie NY (well, will certianly change soon), while cities like HK and Shanghai incorperate a combination of different colours of glass with masonry and steel plating. Fewer boxes in Asian skylines too.

Interesting cladding. It looks different than I thought it would. I was expecting something more similar to the SWFC cladding.

Very nice cladding.
The underground structure is huge.
If it's to be occupied, it'll be a city-within-a-city.

Yea, the height that was cut off from the two towers is going to be compensated by the complex below. There supposed to be an arena/massive conference centre in the complex.

After looking closely at some of these pics, it is notable how Lujiazui is developing at the street level. Looks alot more urban than a few years before.

It may be better, but it still looks like a sterile place. It makes a hell of a skyline though.
