You couldn't see the roof of alot of the hotel blocks that were only about 20 floors tall, I wasn't even interested in tall buildings then but I thought it looked cool.

I think joking is the word, not trolling.

How ridiculous that the next photo shows the top only. Maybe it should be build to only float above or below the clouds? Forgt the rest. When I get my flat there i dont want to be looking out at the clouds for the £100m i paid!!!

I think £100 is really tooo much!
And other residential towers, what are the prices there?


Can someone give a site with residential towers for BUY?

Hehe, my mistake. But, think how amazing it would be if you were above the clouds and could look out and see nothing but the top of the tallest towers and nothing but fog below. Would be quite a site.

well according the right move the most expensive apartments in london are as follow
city of London = £1,750,000.
Westminster = £24,500,000
Kensington & Chelsea = £30,000,000
Lambeth = £7,000,000
Southwark = £3,999,950

im sure there are some other places for much more money with other estate agents ect

It's hard for us mere mortals to believe that there is a huge market for such expensive property. It's called "how the other half live."

Greedy c**ts with lots of money perhaps

The worlds ever increasing multi-millionaires and Billionaires will think nothing of paying this type of money for the prestige of one of London's tallest apartments in what will be one of London's truly Iconic buildings ( Iconic is tossed around rather loosely these days but in this case its the right world to describe LBT) in what is one of the worlds Alpha cities.


Its a slight world away one bed buy to let and student flats up in Leeds

Now now LL, play nice. There are plenty of the super rich in the Leeds area - they just prefer to reside around Harrogate

Back to LBT, to think this NY will be the last that its visibly underconstruction - perhaps we'll be saying the same of Bishopsgate in a years time too

[scalatrava89]

Good amount of progress over the Christmas break. Looks like the core crane is contributing quite a bit to lower level construction now. I’ll be watching the box tonight in anticipation of seeing the Shard live on TV. Would have loved to have gone down for the occasion though, maybe next year!

Just thought it appropriate to see the year out on a silly note!

[The Shard Baby]

Well 2010 has been a great year, at the beginning we hardly had a core box and only lower level steel.
Now we have a fully topped out core and 40 levels of steel and about 30 levels of glass (not bovered to count).
But i bet 2011 will be a great year full steel, high level glass, lower completed floors. just hope mace can do it.

So a toast to 2010
And one for 2011


Sorry, i drunk to much, shouldn't of carried on! well i will die on the 27th of May 2011!

Lol nice one Whizz and welcome to the official Shard skyscrapercity thread

Oh no it's kitten kong!! hopefully he won't do what he did to the BT tower to the shard! (The Goodies 1971)

to make it funnier I would have a workman in an orange fluorescent jacket hanging on to dear life from his tail!

[AUTOTHRILL]

Wow. Someones had a few too many! (TheShardBaby)

This time next year, the Shard will no longer be center of attention on the London forums (let's hope)
