The parkade of Shangri-La was cast-in-place concrete.
edit: Got myself thinking about this one, so I pulled up the structural plans for it. Shangri-La was an interesting blend of cast-in-place concrete, structural steel, load-bearing masonry and hollowcore. It had a little bit of everything in it. Parkade and main floor were mainly cast-in-place, but then primarily load-bearing masonry above that until you got to the penthouse area that was mainly structural steel.
Lots of heating & hoarding required for the masonry through the winter, as I recall.
