Draped in the soft, warm fading glow of sunset, the glass skin of Shangri-La and its vitreous neighbours transform themselves with the changing light. Defining the western edge of the central business district, this newest member of the cohort of luxury hotels to enter the city is among the most well-received on the Forum. Developed by Westbank Corp., the 66-storey mixed-use building was designed by a collaboration of James Cheng and local firm Hariri Pontarini Architects. After four years of construction, the project is set to be completed within the year.
