Mori Building Co. planning more buildings for Shanghai

WFC sightseeing hall to open this Saturday Japan's Mori Building Co., which currently has the bragging rights for the biggest building on the Lujiazui block, is jumping back into construction in the city. According to Reuters, CEO Minoru Mori said his company had been "asked (by Shanghai city) to come up with redevelopment ideas for the post-Shanghai Expo site and airport expansion plans there." He is also proposing a shopping complex next to the Shanghai World Financial Center, which he hopes to turn into Shanghai's version of Harajuku's Omotesando Hills. Oh geez. Knowing the government, if he builds a Omotesando Hills, they're gonna build an even bigger one next to it and before we know it, Pudong really will have sunk into the river.
