A grand shopping center (BaiLian Shimao) has opened already.

i saw this building when i was in shanghai. i didn't like the forecourt, waay too impersonal and intimidating as an entrance. And the shops might have fronted the six floors of windows, but you're not inclined to think that they're anything but exhibits because you can't see human traffic inside. which is why it probably fails as a shopping centre. but at 333m, another addition to Shanghai's aesome skyline already, and on the opposite side of the pudong river.

Damn cute!

What kind of stores are in the shopping part? High-end?

Freaking cool mall!
Its damn good, not better than Taipei though.

Tall but very thin

a wonderful tower!!

but the number of towers in shanghai is so high that this builing doesn´t get importation in the world (I´m sorry for my english)

its a wonderful tower !!!!!!!!!!

I liked this tower so much better when it had those cross bracings visible. Now its just a normal tower. Still nice though.

:omg: How tall are the spires? Becouse they look really tall!

Great Picture, raffles ;)

Thank you! :happy:

Looking good. :okay:

Nice tower!

Quite good

When can all glass be pasted on the building ? its current form is like a bird cage !
Don't you think that its top is too flat and antennae tooooo long?

Has anyone the right location of the building, like on a map or so??

The facade looks cool!

Definately one of the nicer looking buildings going up in Shanghai, and the shopping centre looks amazing. :D

Wow! It's very far away from the "city Center" right? (the zone where is the Jim Mao and the IFC)

Well, it's actually in the very centre of the city.
Jinmao and SWFC are in the east, not the centre.

reminds me of a twospired tower in Shenzen :/

is the height with spires still supposed to be 333 meters?

Nice tower

is the height with spires still supposed to be 333 meters?

Yes,the building has 333 meters with the spires and 246 m to to roof.

Class looking tower. So giant spire on this one then

it's decent, but it just can't match up to sunjoy tomorrow square. it can use a shorter spire, and that broad side makes it rather bulky from some persepctive.

Great addition in the skyline, as we can see in the last picture.

^ thats so cool

cool...!! asian malls are the best!

the building did make some progress over the last 2 months.. they added some glass on the top levels, but it doesn't seem to be going fast. the mall underneath the tower however, is finished. and yes, it's not bad :)

I thought it was already finished... :SAccording to SSP it is. Is that pic from xitek.com recent?

In any case it's looking really good. Although I can't help balking at having to call this building 333m and Shaghai's second tallest building, but meh, what are you going to do.

looks very beautiful in that update !!!

Great!!!

As you can see in this pic, the building is already finished. Or, at least the exterior work has come to an end.

It's Guangming Building, an old building, under renovation.
Here is an outdated pic:

For some reason I don't like this building. Am I the only one here? Hmm anyways it looks like the Bank of China tower in HK being cut off. Anyways a lot of the buildings in Shanghai is nice but theres at least 3 buildings I find it ugly. One of them is the pineapple looking top, the flying saucer top and the sharp white pointy building in the above 2 pics behind this new building.

The old building at that site was 100 times more beautiful :sleepy:

interesting

What did it look like before?...Could you post a before picture please?

I have to agree... I dont hate it, but I'm just not a big fan. It's like they just stopped building it before they got all the way to the top, and just stuck up two big spires instead. It does have better angles from the other side though.
