I don't like this building I think it looks boxy and old, like something from the 70's. This building will probally be a regret in 15 years. errghh FML

This "six-star" tower office developement will have an awesome reception area - a 70,000-litre aquarium holding a shark and 1,300 other fish

@noelnollyd2 Thanks, that was what I thought.

What the hell the pinnacle started in 2008 and hasnt even started rising yet...... but thanks for this update anyway, keep me updated on the shard!

[noelnollyd2]

@Arurnal I think the start date for the pinnacle was the 10 june 2010, (actual beggining of construction)

[matbarrie]

I think that adding a spire to make a building taller is cheating! Anyone could do that! At least the Shard will be honestly taller and not just taller because of a very long stick ;) Oh, nice image with the added sound of the church bells, reminding us that when those old churches went up, everyone said "WOW what Tall Buildings those churches are!" Anyway, thanks for posting these images, it all looks fabulous and I can see it all from my flat, too!

202m to the roof. When they add the spire it'll be 230m.
