Nice, UZ! I'll be updating this thread regularly.

Cool proj, but what a horrible name

I don't know, the 7th grader in me thinks it's a fantastic name!

BTW, thanks to the mysterious mod who corrected the spacing in the thread's title...it was really getting to me.

Famous last words, it's been a month and a half already!

I wish it would have been taller!

I don't know. A supertall would look a bit misplaced in Zhabei right now.

Anyway nice updates.

I was thinking more around 240-250meters. The "train station skyline" is planned to be more or less merged with the Nanjing Xi Lu/Jing An skyline in the future.

Let's not forget that this is supposed to be 220 meters (I've asked a mod to correct the info in the title)...although in this part of town, it looks like a super tall (compare it to the similarly sized 21st Century Mansion, yet the affect on the respective skylines is a world of difference).

staff · #11 Posted **Nov 13, 2008, 1:07 PM**

Yeah, I just noticed that the thread title says 203m. It should be 220m.

BTW, Fun Fact: scope out the old lady with the red bag in the back ground in the second to last photo from today. Not a few seconds after she walked past me did she pull down her pants, crouch down and begin going to the bathroom on the side walk (I didn't wait around to see if it was number one or number two, sorry). Good times!

''famous last words"

Yeah, I'm fucking lazy.

This building just flew up. The cladding looks awesome. Thanks for the update, bro.

Hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go...

Great cladding on this one. For some reason, it doesn't look like 220 meters in the photos. But when you count the stories 220 makes sense.
