So when does this tower finally top out?

It has topped out!

Strange that no one puts that in the change status thread.

^No interests by anoyone probably.

This shot had to be taken from St. Paul's Cathedral, right?

Strata - polish translation "loss" :)

It looks like a tower from Gotham City. :cheers:

I think the tower looks really good from the back also.

I imagined it as a box with the front looking the same as the back and decided that wouldn't be terrible either.

everything in this picture looks amazingly beautiful, beside strata
anyone got the same thought?

the beginning, the renderes of this tower doesn't convinced me... but now that is built, I can say that is a wonderful tower

I have to say it looks definitely way better than expected

Anyway the shape always reminded me of old Japan cartoon Starblazers :D

Shaver beauty.

I really love the work that's going on in London at the moment, but this is by far my favourite: purely because of the turbines and façade.

Is there a revised completion date? When is it scheduled for?

Very impressive!

I love this building, I really do!

If we see how the workers look so small we can notice how HUGE is that top!

I think it's horrible, but that's just my opinion.

I have to say, the rear face (I'm assuming its the back and not the front) isn't as impressive,they perhaps could have done, I don't know, a little sister or something? I love the front though.

Apparently, the turbines will soon be put in place. :cheers:

Well no doubt London is avant-garde in architecture and style and this is another example, but there's something "worrying" in his aspect that makes you stare at it between his little neighbours as it should be an evil queen or something landed from another planet... Not a great deal for a residential tower

Nice, they're finally installing the turbines! :)

Definitely One of the BEST Highrises in Europe !

Wow! I love that tower! I didn't know about this tower until I saw the picture of Shard being under construction that shows Strata in the background. I think that tower is very futuristic!

What a sharp result! :applause:

There is no other tower in the world similar to STRATA.

I love this building, it looks good, it's unique, and the wind turbines on the top are icing on the cake. :)

I see it every day when commuting to work.. It looks like it's from the space age!

:eek:

Rally stunning, even better than than render in firts page of the 3d!

Taken about an hour ago. All 3 turbines are now in place -

Then check out the Bahrain World Trade Center.;)
That's not the same - the Bahrain WTC has turbines on bridges between the two buildings, this tower however is the first one in the world to actually have the wind turbines incorportated into the structure. :)

Nice. :)

Nice tower, but is there really a market for exclusive apartments in Elephant & Castle? From what I remember the area is pretty rough.
