Shangri-La (Westbank, 66s, James Cheng/Hariri Pontarini)

It's sad to see that one day the Shangri-La thread will be buried. She's beautiful!

The way that glass has that curvilinear line rising reminds strongly of the iPhone promo shots:


See what I mean?

[steveve]

lol! ^^^ yeah, i know exactly what you mean!... it's awesome lighting they have..

btw: it's an iPod.. not an iPhone lol! but i think they do it for all their products,

Some views future buyer can look forwards to;

Having seen both, I'd say the 4 Season's views are better since you can see more of the skyline. But I still think Shangri-la is the better/more interesting building (the difference isn't very large though in either respect).

The Core(CBD/mint);










Waterfront towers;




north towards Yorkville;

[steveve]

the views are nothing short of epic... even more epic, seeing how many cranes there are throughout the city,

imo. Trump tower takes the view to the next level.

[japrologue]

nice pics vegeta
somehow i like how it looks to the north more. very impressive of how tdot has changed lately

[klb86]

Wow awesome pics! The views looking towards yorkville are definitely the best!

[vatche]

I'm lovin the trump in those pics. It looks beautiful!

Shangri-La has this whole piece of sky to itself right now but Southcore and the new development on Front will take care of that.

[steveve]

imo, shangri-la looks awkward from the south ^^^ it's tall, but it's so far away, the balance is weird.

and yes, IMO, the north, east, AND west views are equally incredible... at least the west view gets a nice view of Mississauga, lol!

from today

[steveve]

what fantastic views ^^^
Shangri-la is so perfectly placed in those last 2 pics! the skyline has finally been made whole with MLS, shangri-la, and the other additions... imagine of shangri-la was another 50m higher, it would look killer from this view! though too tall from university

city place does a fantastic job at giving the skyline an illusion of looking megacity.

Today's humble contribution from me:

[vegeta_skyline]

2 more floors and it'll be just about as tall as I thought it would be from that location;
