It's coming along quite nicely...HUGE improvement with still lots further to go.
The are so many sub forums its impossible to find things here... where are you discussing the hospital renovation? Although personally, i think the only thing that would make it looks better is a thousand lbs of dynamite.

Cool, there's a look alike building here in Mexico City called Insignia Tower, but it's way too smaller than this one

Okay, that purple lighting? *scrapes jaw off floor*

Also, I bought The Shard. It arrived in the mail today.



I'm mildly concerned about Catzilla, there.

Autumn sun was making a nice silhouette of The Shard from More London this evening.

Interestingly, the higher floors seem to be getting ceilings before the lower ones.




Little progress on the last of the St Thomas Street canopies

The glass has to be one of my main things I like about this tower, the other being it's size
