No it is just the same (well as the last time we were there 3 yrs ago), there is a new building there though, that has an all glass restaurant at the very top - Pearl on the Peak, we had dinner there one night, absolutely fabulous view - amazing and a fantastic meal (at a fantastic price!) 
I'm just about to post keith his pics

Cor Newbie, isn't it funny, just as soon as I looked at the photo I can smell the place
and so as not to go completely off subject, the style of the buildings has not really changed Keith, it would have been in a high rise, maybe 5 or so stories high, above the banking floor on the ground floor.
They are just higher rise now!
Keith when are you going

Wendi, you certainly know you are back!
We travelled a lot more this time and further too, using public transport mostly, we went to Sheung Wan, dried fish street, herbal medicine street, Lan Kwai Fong, SoHo, Sai Kung, we also went on the new Pgong Ning - is that right, the cable car to the Big Buddha on Lantau, what a ride!
hope you like the photos
Newbie

 Thanks for that! - The pics!!! they take my breath away and to think the last time I was there the Conault Building ( I think that's how it's spelt) 4th one from the left on your top pic was the tallest - but some things I do recognise, the entrance for the tunnel on Kowloon side for example. Sai Kung, Lantau.......oh my..... and I went for Dim Sum with Chinese friends of mine today - guess your photos really round that off 
Thank you newbie
