:eek:

great pics !!!! its almost done !

That last pic is sweet. Is that 2IFC waaaaay in the background (sticking up just above the mountains in the center of the picture?

^ Yes!

nice shots!
i believe they are just protection tapes, as someone mentioned earlier.

yeah, nice shot!

One of the best facade i have ever seen. This will be a really really great tower.
Maybe it will be my favorite skyscraper in HK and replacing One Peking Road

the name,Nina tower,Nina is the english first name of CEO of the developer of this scraper :)

LOve IT !!!

Looks Huge and amazing, even whith bad picture quality.

The "Head" looks very hairy.

tall and grand :)

Great update!!

can't wait for this one to LIGHT UP~~!!!


:)

It will be an attractive complex, unlike the looks of its owner Nina Wang who looks like ten miles of bad road.

Found from HKitalk...

Nice glass facade!!, nice hape!!

but the hotel's crown really taking its time....

facade looks stunning.
a pity the weather was bad :D

It's huge! But with the floors visible it was more impressive. Facade is nice though...

can't wait for Nina to light herself UP!! :D

too many new blue buildings in hk!! hehe

just kidding...

According to Forbes,Nina Wong is richer that Queen Elizabrth II....and all ladies in Asia...
LOL

I love this building also I'm not sure if it's just me but does this building seem to be taking forever to get completed?

too many new blue buildings in hk!! hehe

just kidding...


You are telling right! You felt what I,m feeling too.
Many Many of building which located in HK island
are blue, light blue or deep blue.
For exsample: BOC, Cheung Kwong, Lippon center,
The center, AIG, 1&2ifc , Four season HSBC etc.
I think "Blue" is a easy color to accept it.

Byt the way, which building with best facade color matching in HK?

What about the color matching of Central Plaza (Golden & Blue)
, Shun Tak center(Red) and Far East Fin. Center.(All Golden) etc.

the Harbourside gets my vote :)

wow thanks for the update HKskyline! Outside may be finished this year!

Nice, this one is nearly done and lookin sleek.

I love this!

Imagine tall residental towers will be built 5 years from now on top of that white "structure" (top of KCR Tsuen wan station) on the left side of the Nina tower.

One more photo from my last update :

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/20051003/set01/RIMG0136.jpg

looks weird... not so sure about that one, especially with this bastard at its side...

@ Vincent

How tall will that towers be?

no clue, that site is not out for tendering yet. So no design has been made. But according to the number of flats that is planned, it looks like some "standard" building will be built. (50 stories maybe?)

WoW

wow what an amazing building!!

workers is covering the structure to complete the tower

A recent photo by Rachmaninov :

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Rachmaninov/CIMG1700.jpg

looks really tall, like over 400 meters high..........!!!!!!!! great updates !

Great tower, I really like it. Too bad is being built in the ugliest part of HK or that's how it seems.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v81/asiaglobe/IMG_0148.jpg

Sorry guys: this is an ugly building. Sorry again.

^^How can you say that!?! :bash:

looks amazing.. can't wait till they complete the facade and the top!

Sorry guys: this is an ugly building. Sorry again.

Don't worry :-) ur totally entitled to ur opinion...

...and all of us would certainly forgive your bad taste :-D

Sorry guys: this is an ugly building. Sorry again.


As ugly as your location (Amsterdam) right? :cheers:

I wish they would build that here in Los Angeles ;)

That looks pretty damn sleek to me, and its not even done yet!! This will be on my list of buildings to visit if I ever make it to Hong Kong.

Dont most buildings look kinda ugly as they are being built anyways?

Is there a render of the building?

aedificium: don't worry about trolling MarcoPolo--

he seems to have a SERIOUS chip on his shoulder these days with all his vindictive and venomous posts...

:D

;)

Another awesome project in HK.

How high is that mount?

How high is that mount?


That is the tallest montain on HKSAR, Tai Mo Shan (Big Foggy Mountain) at 957 m tall.

nice tower :)

good lord. Is that a residential house on the top? :eek:

how come i've never seen a render for this tower? am i blind? :D

but what i can see in the construction updates is great
the roof looks very promising :okay:

Correct!
They (Teddy and Nina)started their business in that area about 40 years ago,
and Teddy was kidnaped and still missing.

The skybride between both tower symbolise Teddy and Nina hand in hand forever...god ,IT IS SO BLOODY ROMANTIC!

NIna Tower is so beautiful. Amazing!!!

if the shorter crown is any example of how the taller crown will look like.... i will be satisfied... sooo satisfied!

And what a way to symbolize your eternal love... building two conjoined skyscrapers! Brilliant!

Teddy's so short and pulling at Nina's skirt. Begging her to forgive him?!

Teddy's so short and pulling at Nina's skirt. Begging her to forgive him?!


The higher one named Teddy, not the shorter one

looks amazing! this one is real supertall!

Aha, that's better.

what an incredible addition (complete with story of eternal love) to HK~~


:)

In that case the Petronas must be gay...
j/k lol

gosh... so romantic... Teddy and Nina Kung have been known to be very affectionate and romantic with each other.. when Teddy was still around they always go in public in matching outfits and everything... they are truly a model of marriage and love...

Damn those bastards that kidnapped and killed Teddy...

Finally I find a render of this tower... It's going to look great... A wonderful addition for HK


http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/569/81ninarender.jpg

The render looks like an erect penis. The actual building, on the other hand, looks very classy and high quality. There's been no "cheaping out" on this building at all. Another gem. Just one of HK's signature towers in Toronto would do wonders for the skyline.

HK is crazy... so many 300m + buildings and even more buildings going up. There's over 400 forty storey + buildings (over 400ft) in the New Territories alone... not even counting HK island OR Kowloon. That really says something. It just boggles the mind.

I've been following this tower for awhile off and on and I do have to say that although the renderings left me a little skeptical, the (almost) finished product is quite grand! Maybe it's just the nice blue glass but the tower carries a very strong sense of verticality. It'll be sweet to see when it's all done.

Oh yea, I see that Nina has a LARGE podium, is it going to be a mall or is it going to be something like a convention center or what???

if i remember correctly, they got both mall and convention space in the podium.

cool building!!!!!

The Hotel Tower crown is way marvelous.

not sure where to put this ... Western Corridor

lovely building. it would've been nice in the main skyline of hong kong though.

what is the kinda hole in the top?

its a hole.

Great tower Nina Tower!!!!

Nina Tower will be home to Sogo Tsuen Wan
5 October 2005

Lifestyle International is going to open its third Sogo department store at Nina Tower in Tsuen Wan in the first half of 2006. Lifestyle International will rent three stories of Nina Tower with accommodation area about 60,000 sq ft for nine years. Unit rental rate will be about HK$10 per sq ft for the first few years.

Nina Tower is located at No. 8 of Yeung Uk Road in Tsuen Wan. It has total accommodation area of 300,000 sq ft. Lifestyle chooses to open Sogo at Nina Tower as the region will be developed as the new city centre of Tsuen Wan. The large-scale residential and retail properties newly developed nearby will help attract customers.

Kicking ass as usual!!!!!!! :D

:cheers: :gunz: :yes:

whoo hoo! i love SOGO.. and i love Nina Tower

stunning... loving that blue

Looking amazing.

:okay:

i'm so curious about the most interesting part of the tower
the top

that pinkish render is not the best and doesn't really show us how it looks like

really kickass tower.
when will it be topped out?

I think its already topped out, only facade and detail works has to be done.

wow ! Nina looks great, ...........much better than renderings !

when will it be topped out?
I think its already topped out...
Chad is right! it is topped out since April 2005!
unfortunately i wasn't able(for some reasons) to show u my aerials taken in April, but i will show soon.

Meanwhile i have a pic taken today by my GF, sorry for the quality...mobile cam.

Great update SanMiguel, I haven't seen you post in quite some time!

That picture clearly shows the dominance of Nina Tower. It just soars over everything and those shorter towers around it are not even short buildings themselves....30, 40, 50 storeys. Very much considered "highrise" buildings in other cities.

Well, i wasn't in HK since April '05 and my laptop was broken as well :(
so i couldn't post or edit most of my pics from that time.
But now i finally have new laptop and will show u some nice aerials soon
(hope, u'll like them, though they not the most recent anymore...)

cheers

.

SanMiguel, i thought u forgot about this forum. Haven't seen u for a long time. :-)

Looking absolutely stunning. :banana:

I just realised this will be Hong Kong's second tallest building to roof on completion. Central Plaza, Bank of China and The Centre all have spires going higher but Nina Tower pips them all to roof, with only 2IFC being taller.

Help us say thanks to your gf, SanMiguel ;)

always GREAT to have SanMiguel here~~ :)

^^
Thanks to all! :grouphug: and my gf said "u r welcome" to u guys :D


here's the first "bonus" for u guys, quite outdated but hope u like anyways :)

Holy shit.

Fabulous. During construction there are so many cool little details that can be captured on the camera.

SanMiguel dropping SERIOUS WEAPONRY NOW!!!



:rock: :crazy2: :tongue4: :cheers2:

can i ask a silly question? how come nina tower is FULL height and there is NO sign of clading? did they order it? truck get lost?
in Australia the cladding climbs upjust slower then the floor plates. this wil atake ages to complete.
btw, great pix

They did take a long time with the cladding and I have no idea why, but it's almost completely covered in glass now (check a few pages back for the most recent pictures).

@CULWULLA
i know what u mean, i also often see that in Australia or the US the cladding starts much earlier...
on of the Chicago Eastlake projects they still start the cladding though the tower has only 10 (of around 65) floors yet.

and on the other side in Bangkok there is a whole building's concrete finished but no windows at all.
Then came the asia crisis...and now it stands there like this(below) for long...
(and it's not the only one)

But i have no clue why some start cladding earlier and some wait till topout
maybe we should ask a construction worker or architect :dunno:

I think it's just a pecularity for this building. 2 IFC's cladding was rising very quickly along with the tower. The bottom floors were already open and the showroom was available before the top parts were completed.

Oh! SanMiguel, you are so awesome. Such a great update.

Wow those aerials are awesome :eek:

OMG! These updates are amazing! :eek:

I don't know if you guys have seen this rendering before:

http://www.chinachemgroup.com/images/stories/content/photo/upcoming/nina/1.jpg

Great aerials SanMiguel. ;)

SanMiguel, can you give me more details about the heli tour? like pricing, operator etc. Can you fly at nite? or day only?
I know you know some people that work there, you may get some special treatment.
btw, can a tourist w/o connection request to have the door removed just like you did?

holy **** That are awesome updates even if they "are old". Superb!! :okay: :cool: :omg:

o gosh... i really don't wanna say this.. but thinking along the lines of the buildings being supposed to signify Nina and her husband holding hands... looking at that rendering makes me think it more being like Nina kneeing and givin her husband some kind of "oral pleasure"... hahahaha

Fantastic update! :applause:

Now THAT looks stunning!

A render! But it looks small in the render compared to reality!

haha....I think that pic is so real...
guess what...those apartment building around Nina Tower have more 50 floor!!

just fascinating!

I thought the top would have a different cladding than the one showed in the rendering.

Foreverlasting Love.......................... :cry:

Looks great.

unwrapping the top of the lower tower
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/Genuine007/HK051202_045.jpg

nice update!

That building looks massive compared to the surrounding structures... Love the color of the glass....

It is 320m. One would hope that it looks massive.

I guess, but height is not the reason, there are many buildings over 400m that don't appear as massive.... (massive in good way, I didn't mean it in a negative way)

Tsuen Wan district is mostly residential and industrial buildings and until recently, there were no supertalls. Most buildings were 20-40F with residential-standard floor heights. Therefore there weren't really any buildings over 150m in the area. Now that there are 50~70 floor buildings being constructed in Tsuen Wan, it is getting a less boring skyline. Then we have Nina/Teddy tower as the focal point.

I'm enjoying the redevelopment of Tsuen Wan.

The facade is really interesting. I can't wait to see how they build the top to match the whole building.
I wonder who the architect is...

I live in Tusen Wan, I really hoping all the redevelopment in Tusen Wan, but most the taller building was built near the harbor, which block all the faslh air come form the west side the the Tusen Wan City...which is really a mess !!
Anyway....I still like the changes around Nina tower

Absoloute superb.

blue & white

Nice! Though I prefer the original design and height!

TOTAL BEAUTY!!!!

Me, satisfied.

looks very nice... and they look 'lonely' as well :)

I can't wait until this is finished, keep up the good work HK!

Great pics people! Thanks for sharing everyone *does soft shoe dance*

omg that glass is soo mouth-watering!

That is one fine looking tower.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v682/Elennath/DSCN7281.jpg

Marvelously blue!!

wow!

That's gorgeous!

^ it sure is :cool:
not long till cladding is finished!!! :cheers:

nice. two-three months and facing will be finished i think...

I'm not sure, I like the cladding. but nevertheless - the complex looks spectacular.

It looks strong and powerful, HK's style.

definitely a good choice for the cladding

Has anyone got a picture that shows this building with the surroundings of the rest of the Hong Kong skyline?

Has anyone got a picture that shows this building with the surroundings of the rest of the Hong Kong skyline?

This building isn't in the core HK skyline. It's technically in a suburb although it's surrounded by numerous 50 storey residential blocks. Only in Hong Kong...

No aerial pictures?

It's almost 10km away from the 2IFC.

SanMiguel: If you don`t wait again 6 months before you post your pics, i would be happy :D

wooow, biig :crazy2:

Beautiful tower! Love the name aswell.

Wow, a very neat surprise at the top! Fantastic.

well the wings you guys are talking about aren't a surprise,they were part of the original design,atleast from the renders i've seen

Very few buildings in Hong Kong have observation decks. I haven't heard of one for this project, but Union Square's supertall will have one.

i try my best to put them online asap.
Promise!

Think Nina Tower is going to be my new favourite in HK! Can't wait to go back again this year. I remember seeing it when I was on my way to the airport. One fine building! Hope that Tsuen Wan gets a proper skyline soon! I think It will be a real nice skyline, especially with the mountain backdrop.

People travelling on the airport express might mistake Tsuen Wan for the main HK skyline but get an even better surprise when they get towards Union Square and then HK Island....

Very cool project. I like the name, it's ironic because it's such an imposing tower.

Do you mean it's ironic coz it's named Nina? Coz only the shorter building is called Nina.. the taller one is actually called Teddy in honor of her still missing husband.

then they should change the title of this thread to: Teddy Tower (319m.)

WOW, great updates ENDOPHINS :okay: :)

^^ Wawawawawawa!!!!!!!

Tsing Ma bridge looks smaller than usual there....maybe it's because The Nina totally dwarfed it...:D

^^ coz it isn't Tsing Ma Bridge :)
What u see is: Ting Kau Bridge ...engineered by germans btw.

^edit by me

.

I see, so practically Nina Tower is offering both bridges view?

yes, i think when u on top of Nina Tower u can see all 3 bridges ...
I'll try to catch a pic with the tower and all 3 bridges when i'm in HK end of this month.

.

And later the Stonecutters Bridge!

she's a gorgeous beaute~~!!!! :D

This mofo is almost done! Looks great!

It would be really cool to see a nice (and recent) panaorama which includes the Nina tower. How about a time lapse series of the updates too? Anyone game to make this as the first post of the second edition of this thread?

Awesome tower, I like the sky-bridge thing! Are there going to be glass floors on the bridge, because that would be freaky!

Awesome!!

Nina Tower with a better view (mountain background) than 2IFC (HK island). Do you agreed ?
