OMGEE ^^^

this thing looks like it's in/around the 150m mark. Exchange and Oxford Tower are around that height.
Shangri-la is so awesome on the skyline!

when topped off, from this view, it should line up with the (Cadillac Fairview?) tower at Queen/Bay

I like how we see the building bulging out from the sides.

Architecture at its best.

The other day, i happened to notice how ridiculously bright that Shangri-la Pink weather wall is from a far distance. In fact, it's too bright, it's distracting, it takes away from the skyline view when you're trying to squint your eyes to see landmarks and all you see is a pink line.... as cool as the building is, the weatherwall, of all things, sucks! (from a skyline POV)

The hot pink weather wall was a stroke of genius. Draws your attention straight to the building no matther where you are. Fantastic advertising/publicity.

It practically glows in the dark. I can see it sitting on my balcony without my glasses on at night!

The penthouse levels at Trump are lit up like a Christmas tree from the KPMG signage. Alex Shnaider not gonna be happy about that when he moves in

it just struck me how massive this tower is going to look from the north ^^^, with still a very huge portion left to go, this Queens Park view is going to be intense.

OMG, It's near a vista!!! Someone stop this awful crime!

In related news, this thing is really looking great. I honestly don't think 4S comes close to the level of beauty of this building.

Am in love with Shangri-La but they should have tried for 70 floors. As mind-boggling impressive it is from the north coming down University, I think ultimately it will disappoint a tiny bit from other perspectives.
