Looks awesome! Hefei needs some nice buildings, it's a bit boring at the moment.

Doesn't look bad at all
if they just not copy Frankfurt's Commerzbank Tower again
They already did in some chinese cities b4...

fantastic tower

Very nice design and the way it turns around and crosses that avenue ! Thanks for considering gardened terraces !

great design. seems like it would take a real walk to get from one end to the other.

This is maybe my favourite project in China (beside ST). I think it's a shame that this isn't in a first tier city (Shanghai, Shenzhen, etc.). In Hefei it won't get the recognition it deserves.

This tower might just end up looking GREAT. There is something I have always wondered about Chinese skyscrapers though. How come they (seemingly) never start the cladding until the full size of the structure is completed? This does not seem to be the case anywhere else in the world, as far as I can tell.

^^ Fairly common in Russia and Belarus as well.

Wow first time I see this tower, because it's now a supertall.
Luckily a lot more people will see it now, it deserves the recognition.
And in the render you see a much larger building, is the other, lower, part completed already or whats the status of that?

Btw thanks Zorg for all your pictures, not only here but in all the Chinese construction threads.

Very interesting building.

interesting design

That was built fast.....

cool twist, but def. doesn't look 339 meters tall at all, you sure that's right?

^^ Yup, I only count around 50 floors.

.... however, it does seams to have a very tall mast on top

if 339m is height towards antenna, pinnacle whatever, what is the height to the top part of the building without the mast/antenna/spire. aka the point we can see now

Wow, this tower is a beauty that I haven't heard of. ^^ Maybe it's moved from another section to 'super tall'.

This is turning into one of China's most iconic pieces of modern architecture. We need to see more of it!

No way that is a supertall, unless there is a huge antenna or spire on top.

^^^ Yeah I guess it has a rather long spire.

how can this one be a TV tower? looks like a normal skyscraper to me :weird:

The name can be confusing because to my knowledge there is Fei Cui TV in China and this will be it's HQ! So it's not a "Hefei Fei Cui TV Tower" but rather "Hefei Fei Cui TV" Tower :cheers:

It's gonna be a great tower. I love it.

looks like the spire is big though. so what is the current height at / roof height

The actual name of this project is Anhui Broadcasting and TV Center, designed by Emmanuel Delarue of NDA (New Design Architechture).

This will be the new home of Anhui TV, one of China's biggest broadcast networks.

NDA Builds Asia’s Largest Stage

NDA designs Anhui Broadcasting & TV Centre; the 301-meter high tower is considered to be the largest tower ever designed by a French architect in China. Following an international competition in 2009, NDA was selected as the finalist for the design of the Anhui Broadcasting and TV Centre.

Located at the south end of Swan Lake in the new commercial and administrative heart of Hefei, Anhui’s capital city, the Centre will provide signature space for the region’s largest television producer and become the highest observation point of the region. When completed, the iconic tower will rise above the Anhui skyline, making it the largest tower ever designed by a French architect in China.

NDA’s design concept is inspired from the cultural character of paper scrolls and calligraphy, with the curves of the centre’s façade giving the building an iconic and airy feeling. In the design, the NDA team sought to understand how to optimize the connections among the different functions of the work spaces, working closely with the stakeholders who will occupy the office space, from the broadcasting and production teams to the management.

Careful attention was given to the circulation between the buildings and open areas, with many of the lobbies and public space allowing for multi-functional uses. “Our intention was to build a cultural landmark for Anhui in a contemporary style that would restore the province’s cultural heritage, while meeting highly technical and specific requirements of the TV and the Broadcasting industry”, says Emmanuel Delarue, CEO and Chief Architect of NDA Architecture.

The lower part of the tower shelters all the broadcasting studios, the multimedia companies, the technical and services area and a 400 sqm theatre whose stage is the widest ever in China. The offices are located in the upper part of the media tower. The first construction phase was completed in October 2011. When completed in 2013, the Tower will provide an observation area open to the public.

Is this topped out now?

doesnt look so tall but nice design

doesnt look so tall but nice design

the spire on top is about 80m i think, so the actual roof height is under 300m.

Very cool tower, just found out about this today. The render looks kinda ugly to me but the real project looks wonderful.

Not yet...

The spire is yet to be installed on top... :)

Not in my Supertall list yet. Have to make an update tomorrow :)

The architect(s) of this building must not be happy at all when someone decided to put that ugly antenna on top of it.

The clue is in the name....TV tower:)

Anyone knows how many floors this tower has?

no, it is a tower by the company "feicui TV". not a tv tower by fecui. :cheers:

According to CTBUH, official name is Anhui Province Radio & TV Center, it has 48 floors, architectural height is 226.5 m and height to tip is 276.5 m:

That would mean it's not a supertall. I guess this thread is about the Radio & Tv Center.

I searched a bit through the net, i'm almost 100% sure that this tower is not a supertall as pteranodon posted already.
It should be moved to the Skyscraper-Section.
I Also removed it from the Supertall List again.

^^Looks really nice!:cheers:

Wow amazing project!

a superb skyscraper. but still the question: is it really a supertall? are there any informations about the hight?

wow, this one is top out already. Why is it not a supertall when it's taller than 300m? More buildings should be built like this instead of square and rectangular boxes.

it is 276m to the tip of the spire

^^ So not a supertall, but definitively a huge building due to its large ground floor area

Interesting design, never seen anything like it. You wonder how the got such a large site.

This one is obviously not a supertall.. It doesn't have the height and bulk of a supertall.
But still, it does look good and the height is great for the area. It sticks out pretty well.

i told the mods to change the title and move it to the skyscrapers section

this tower looks pretty awesome!

This thread keeps changing its height once and again, but nobody posts sources for any of them, lol

See post #118 about this Anhui Province Radio & TV Center. Yes, I know that CTBUH is unreliable, and it is not an original source. Maybe we should stop referring to CTBUH altogether ...

^^ @zorg: When will Anhui TV transfer its entire equipment to the new broadcast centre?

Amazing building. Can anyone provide some more up close pictures?

Plus: is it completed yet?
