I visited both the Four Seasons and Shangri-lai centres recently (feeling like a fraud because I bought elsewhere) and there are real differences in their approaches.
Shangra-lai has sold over 80% of floors 20-50, and around 40% of the private estates floors 50-65. Their approach is to have a terrific scale model of the building and exceptionally attractive miniture wooden replicas of certain suites. There are some Miele kitchen appliances around, and a bathroom, but they didn't do a full scale "model suite". The approach worked because most buyers bought without visiting the sales center. I liked it because seeing a bunch of sample furniture has always seemed silly since its not what you're getting, nor what you want.
Four Seasons has all the Gluckstein stuff, a full compliment of decorated rooms and some ridicously high ceilings. The living room ceiling looks like its nearly 18 feet - whose getting that? Also the washrooms hadn't been cleaned. The whole Four Seasons seemed less proffessional, which was surprising. I'm sure, however, that the project will be very fine.
