data update



R1: 193.8m, 55 floors, residential
R2: 202.8m, 58 floors, residential
R3: 235.8m, 69 floors, residential
R4: Cancelled
R5: around 330m, 61 floors, hotel and offices （upwards revision under study）
R6: 460.0m, 88 floors, hotel and offices
















The first plan was composed by 3 towers only.

Old plan 1:

R1: 40 floors, 200m~
R2: 40 floors, 200m~
R3: 80 floors, 300m+



Then it changed to another different concept, based on a large shopping center with 5 residential towers and 1 supertall for office use.

Old plan 2:

R1: 55 floors, 200m+
R2: 58 floors, 200m+
R3: 61 floors, 200m+
R4: 68 floors, 200m+
R5: 75 floors, 200m+
R6: 79 floors, 300m+



The plan was changed again, and it was announced that there would be 2 main towers, 86 floors each one, and above 300m.

Old plan 3:

R1: 55 floors, 200m+
R2: 58 floors, 200m+
R3: 61 floors, 200m+
R4: 68 floors, 200m+
R5: 86 floors, 330m+
R6: 86 floors, 330m+



Some news at last about the final project.

- The tallest tower will be 428m, it is confirmed.

- Since they have announced several times that the tallest towers would be twins, the second tallest might be 428m too.

- Unofficial rumour claims that the second tower will be, at least 350m+. This was said at the official meeting of the new version of Jialing Fanying project. Same source claimed that the tallest would be 428m, and we could confirm this later.

- No news about the other towers, so I keep posting the old figures for them.

Final plan, hypothesis 1:

R1: 55 f, 200m+
R2: 58 f, 200m+
R3: 62 f, 250m+
R4: 68 f, 250m+
R5: 350-400m
R6: 428m



However, rumour claims that the second supertall tower doesn't mean a revision on R6 tower, but an addition of a seventh tower. This is not confirmed.

Final plan, hypothesis 2:

R1: 55 floors, 200m+
R2: 58 floors, 200m+
R3: 61 floors, 200m+
R4: 68 floors, 200m+
R5: 75 floors, 300m~ < R5 and R6 might be the same tower
R6: 350-400m
R7: 428m



Additional rumour claims the 8 floor podium was never included in the floor count of the towers (typical in China when making early designs).

Final plan, hypothesis 3:

R1: 63 floors, 200m+
R2: 66 floors, 200m+
R3: 69 floors, 200m+
R4: 76 floors, 300m~
R5: 83 floors, 300m+ < R5 and R6 might be the same tower
R6: 350-400m
R7: 428m

Wow this looks like manhattan, all they need to do is just knock down some old towers and build some nice glassy supertalls.

these old towers are the nails in my skin

Wow, this pic is Amazing. the 5 supertalls in the Background are Awesome.

in fact ,MIFC is 377m, WTCC is 283m

but in this pic MIFC seems only 20m higher than wtcc

MIFC should be taller

城市之冠如何不冠？！！！
作者： 爱重庆的人 时间： 2006-10-6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

近期看到异常关心的城市之冠地块,却只建290高的房子,290米,如何为城市之冠啊局长大人?!!城市规划展览馆规划展示的高于万豪2,为何现实中却低之?!!!况且现在仍在向外界展示,而根据2003年11月29日,市二届人大常委会第六次会议表决通过了《关于渝中半岛城市形象设计方案的决定》。 《决定》指出，渝中半岛的规划和建设，必须严格遵循城市形象设计提出的六条基本原则，任何单位和个人不得擅自对设计方案进行更改，如确需调整，应对调整意见作出科学评估，并严格按程序报市人大常委会批准。请问城市之冠的290米是否征求广大人民意见？！！是否报请市人大批准？！！请局长在百忙之中，给予全体关心的市民一个解答！！！谢谢。

回复：
爱重庆的人：
您关于“反映城市之冠如何不冠”的来信收悉，经我局核实有关情况，现回复如下：
信中提及的城市之冠地块为位于较场口的民生城市之冠，民生城市之冠的范围包含了百子巷地块、万豪酒店地块、建设公寓地块等。在《渝中半岛城市形象设计》中对民生城市之冠建筑高度的要求是“最高建筑应不低于260米，宜为300米”。目前正在建设的百子巷地块改造项目中，最高建筑布置在临较场口转盘处，建筑顶层高度为292米，建筑总高度（含屋顶造型部分）为330米，高于万豪酒店二期320米的高度。.由此可见，该城市之冠的建筑高度符合《渝中半岛城市形象设计》。
感谢你对城市规划工作的关心和支持，希望你再次提出宝贵的意见。

Wow, with the other structures next to it, this looks to be a very futuristic complex. Can you imagine if you were from 100 years ago and you saw one of these supertalls?

Which only means one thing... the future will be very vertical.

Will this be the first supertall to be completed in chonqqing?

i believe yes. until now no supertall is completed and this one should be the one with the best progress

That's a very impresive complex without a doubt.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c203/macpolo/--paths.jpg

one of my favorates in Chongqing

Chongqing has and will have more great supertalls
but I hope its infrustrature will also be in first-class

^^
Chongqing is building tons of new highways and newtowns, and they just built a monorail. I have a Chinese road atlas with Chongqing map that I can scan if you want to see the Chongqing highways.

nice building!

Awesome!

i love tall twin towers, please build them!!

^^ there are 2 other supertall twins planned for Shenzhen over 500 meters tall and the Ningbo Twin Towers at a rumoured height of 480m each. However, these may be nothing more than flat proposals or merely visions.

Wow, another mega project for CQ! I hope those new twins are supertalls too!! Big podium and over-roof structure should make this quite possible.

Congrats, CQ!

i know, but i've my doubts that these will be build

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c203/macpolo/200781520313476385.jpg

Uiuiui, I can´t believe it!
That looks very special!
In my opinion when this beauty will be finished it´s one of the most gazed supertalls without a new record. But it should be the design of macpolo´s last post.
thx for the great pictures

@macpolo : great card and many thanks. Gives a lot of insight in the Chongqing developments.

the designs changed for the better with every new render, great development! i'm very excited about the final design! go chongqing!

428m now! cheers

CHONGQING | Century Star Plaza (Under construction): 2x330m+, 86 floors. Chongqing's largest project by far, developed by ASE and located also in Jiefangbei. This crazy development composed by two main towers (office and hotel) and four residentials has changed many times and the last design hasn't been chosen by the moment. The first version was composed by one tower around 80 floors and two around 40, called City Crown of Chongqing. Then, the project was relaunched as 6 towers, 79, 75, 68, 62, 58 and 55 floors respectively, being the tallest 300m high. In early 2007, the two main towers were announced to become 86 floor twins. Finally, in mid 2007, some renders were launched about the final proposals, which showed crazy designs, some of them as tall as 90 floors. The outcome is still an enigma. The huge podium hosting a shopping center is under construction. Thread (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=381429)

The first plan was composed by 3 towers only.

Old plan 1:

R1: 40 floors, 200m~
R2: 40 floors, 200m~
R3: 80 floors, 300m+



Then it was changed to another different concept, based on a large shopping center with 5 residential towers and 1 supertall for office use.

Old plan 2:

R1: 55 floors, 200m+
R2: 58 floors, 200m+
R3: 61 floors, 200m+
R4: 68 floors, 200m+
R5: 75 floors, 200m+
R6: 79 floors, 300m+



The plan was changed again later, and it was announced that there would be 2 main towers, 86 floors each one and above 300m.

Old plan 3:

R1: 55 floors, 200m+
R2: 58 floors, 200m+
R3: 61 floors, 200m+
R4: 68 floors, 200m+
R5: 86 floors, 330m+
R6: 86 floors, 330m+



Some news at last about the final project.

- The tallest tower will be 428m, it is confirmed.

- Since they have announced for several times that the two tallest towers would be twins, the second tallest might be 428m too.

- Unofficial rumour claims that the second tower will be above 350m. This was said at the official meeting where they released the new version of Jialing Fanying project. Same source claimed that the tallest one would be 428m, and we could confirm this later.

- No news about the other towers, so I'm keeping posting the old figures for them.

R1: 55 floors, 200m+
R2: 58 floors, 200m+
R3: 61 floors, 220m+
R4: 68 floors, 250m+
R5: 350-400m
R6: 428m



However, rumour claims that the second supertall tower doesn't mean a revision on R6 tower, but an addition of a seventh tower. This is not confirmed, but latest renders locate the second tallest towers on an area where none of the 5 residentials were planned.

Final plan, hypothesis 2:

R1: 55 floors, 200m+
R2: 58 floors, 200m+
R3: 61 floors, 220m+
R4: 68 floors, 250m+
R5: 75 floors, 300m~
R6: 350-400m
R7: 428m



Additional rumour claims the 8 floor podium was never included in the floor count of the towers (typical in China when making early designs). This source claims that the shortest tower would be 55+8 floors and the tallest one 88+8 floors.

Final plan, hypothesis 3:

R1: 63 floors, 220m+
R2: 66 floors, 220m+
R3: 69 floors, 250m+
R4: 76 floors, 300m~
R5: 83 floors, 300m+

I hope we can get all the info soon, this project is going beyond madness.

its madness, baby! cant wait to see the new render


CHONGQING | Century Star Plaza (Under construction): 2x330m+, 86 floors. Chongqing's largest project by far, developed by ASE and located also in Jiefangbei. This crazy development composed by two main towers (office and hotel) and four residentials has changed many times and the last design hasn't been chosen by the moment. The first version was composed by one tower around 80 floors and two around 40, called City Crown of Chongqing. Then, the project was relaunched as 6 towers, 79, 75, 68, 62, 58 and 55 floors respectively, being the tallest 300m high. In early 2007, the two main towers were announced to become 86 floor twins. Finally, in mid 2007, some renders were launched about the final proposals, which showed crazy designs, some of them as tall as 90 floors. The outcome is still an enigma. The huge podium hosting a shopping center is under construction. Thread (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=381429)

The first plan was composed by 3 towers only.

Old plan 1:

R1: 40 floors, 200m~
R2: 40 floors, 200m~
R3: 80 floors, 300m+



Then it was changed to another different concept, based on a large shopping center with 5 residential towers and 1 supertall for office use.

Old plan 2:

R1: 55 floors, 200m+
R2: 58 floors, 200m+
R3: 61 floors, 200m+
R4: 68 floors, 200m+
R5: 75 floors, 200m+
R6: 79 floors, 300m+



The plan was changed again later, and it was announced that there would be 2 main towers, 86 floors each one and above 300m.

Old plan 3:

R1: 55 floors, 200m+
R2: 58 floors, 200m+
R3: 61 floors, 200m+
R4: 68 floors, 200m+
R5: 86 floors, 330m+
R6: 86 floors, 330m+



Some news at last about the final project.

- The tallest tower will be 428m, it is confirmed.

- Since they have announced for several times that the two tallest towers would be twins, the second tallest might be 428m too.

- Unofficial rumour claims that the second tower will be above 350m. This was said at the official meeting where they released the new version of Jialing Fanying project. Same source claimed that the tallest one would be 428m, and we could confirm this later.

- No news about the other towers, so I'm keeping posting the old figures for them.

Final plan, hypothesis 1:

R1: 55 floors, 200m+
R2: 58 floors, 200m+
R3: 61 floors, 220m+
R4: 68 floors, 250m+
R5: 350-400m
R6: 428m



However, rumour claims that the second supertall tower doesn't mean a revision on R6 tower, but an addition of a seventh tower. This is not confirmed, but latest renders locate the second tallest towers on an area where none of the 5 residentials were planned.

Final plan, hypothesis 2:

R1: 55 floors, 200m+
R2: 58 floors, 200m+
R3: 61 floors, 220m+
R4: 68 floors, 250m+
R5: 75 floors, 300m~
R6: 350-400m
R7: 428m



Additional rumour claims the 8 floor podium was never included in the floor count of the towers (typical in China when making early designs). This source claims that the shortest tower would be 55+8 floors and the tallest one 88+8 floors.

Final plan, hypothesis 3:

R1: 63 floors, 220m+
R2: 66 floors, 220m+
R3: 69 floors, 250m+
R4: 76 floors, 300m~
R5: 83 floors, 300m+
R6: 350-400m
R7: 96 floors, 428m

^^ All of this is gone now I think, even the last ones.

Found at Dennis Lau & Ng Chun Man web (http://www.dln.com.hk/). It doesn't look to be 428m though, I don't think it is the final design even if they chose this architect.

如果是香港人的负责的项目 ，我就放心了！

"如果是香港人的负责的项目 ，我就放心了！" means "if it is a hong kongese responsible for this, then I trust it[that it will be built]." (my translation, not google translation)

At last we have a little of info about Century Star Plaza. The residential tower currently u/c will be 286m tall, 68 floors. Are they including shopping center in the huge podium? No idea.

I don't know which R# is this one, depending oh the number we could guess the heights of the other 5 residential towers, but I'm sure it is either R1 or R2. That would mean that R3, R4 and R5 will be all taller than 286m, all of them residentials. R6 (hotel) and R7 (offices) are supposed to be even taller. R7 is confirmed to be 428m, and R6 is supposed to be between 350 and 400m. I wonder when are they unveiling the final plan :|

重庆第一高楼已建20层 渝中拟建总部经济基地
2008年03月26日 09:05:16 　来源： 重庆商报

“民生城市之冠”效果图 记者 张路桥 翻拍

在渝中区“总部经济基地”，在建的重庆第一高楼“民生城市之冠”正在一天天长高。 位于较场口的“民生城市之冠”设计高度为286米，共68层，目前已完工20层，建成后将为我市第一高楼，超过目前最高的重庆世界贸易中心（总高283.1米，62层）。

资料显示，设计方案中，“民生城市之冠”一共由5幢高层建筑组成，除“第一高楼”外，有2幢是会馆（商务楼），另2幢是高级住所。建成后将作为写字楼和宾馆。

据悉，“民生城市之冠”只是渝中区打造“总部经济基地”中规划的高层商务楼宇之一。

　　民族路将建国际金融中心

记者昨日从渝中区政府据悉，该区今年准备拆迁100万平方米以上的危旧房，强化其功能规划，引导符合区域产业发展导向的业种、业态向楼宇集聚。未来5年，解放碑CBD区域的危旧房将全部拆除，同时将再开发一批能满足企业总部入驻的商务大楼，吸引国际企业巨头来渝“开店”。

解放碑CBD建设指挥部宋主任表示，未来5年，在CBD“硬核”（以解放碑商业步行街为核心的0.92平方公里中央商务区）内的旧房将全部拆迁，同时规划兴建200万平方米以上的高档商务写字楼，其中不少硬件将直接为世界500强企业量身打造。“比如花旗银行今年上半年内要来开分行，他们要什么样的标准，我们就提供什么样的。”宋主任表示，目前规划的核心商务建筑将是选址于民族路会仙楼一带的重庆国际金融中心，但具体的建设细节还在讨论中，不方便透露。记者了解到，目前由日本知名建筑设计公司——黑川纪章建筑都市设计事务所设计的方案已经获通过。

目前规划的高层商务楼宇，除了“民生城市之冠”、国际金融中心外，还有选址民权路的新闻智能出版大厦。

already quite tall :)...didn't expect so much progress already!

R1 tower rising freaking fast, around 29th floor now. Will be 286m tall, 68 floors when completed according to the press. Supposed to be the shortest tower of the project!

Thanks for the photos. Just in 17 days the tower grew 3 floors.

It means 1 floor per ~5 days. Pretty fast IMO.:okay:

^^ I can't wait to see how far does it grow. The final heights for the other 6 towers remain unknown, but this one (scheduled to be the shortest one in the general plan) will mark the minimum height for the other 6. The press said that it will be 286m, 68 floors, being the first time they release concrete figures for any of the towers within the project. But nobody believed this source. Well, we'll see, 38 floors by the moment :D

hope we'll see at least 3 supertalls

Century Star Plaza

Final plan

R1: 63 floors, 200m+
R2: 66 floors, 200m+
R3: 69 floors, 200m+
R4: 76 floors, 300m~
R5: 83 floors, 300m+
R6: 350-400m

Tower R1 which is the shortest 63f
now its all ready 46f

only one newspaper said this shortest tower of this monster project will be 268m, but we r afraid of they r just guessing

Is there a thread for another supertall 500+m? http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=21506136#post21506136

That city is the world biggest i think!

That city is the world biggest i think!

yes chongqing is the world s biggest since 1997
by some level
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chongqing

Area (ranked 26th)
- Municipality 82,300 km² (31,776.2 sq mi)
Elevation 43.5 m (143 ft)
Population (2006)
- Municipality 31,442,300
- Density 382/km² (989.5/sq mi)
- Urban 4,196,000




and that 500m is still a concept
will take a few more years to become reality

Around 1 floor a week now. Not an amazing speed but still decent. Hope we can see more towers within this complex rising soon.

^^I choose the one on the right side. Its better, especially the skybridges. :D


the left one is not ase ，its jialingfanying 456m another project which has almost the same progress as ase

Oh okay, i thought that the design on the left was an older version of ASE center.

Oh okay, i thought that the design on the left was an older version of ASE center.

sorry about the misleading
i was just trying to compare the size
size always matters:)

Wow the Chinese name isn't that good, 日月光中心。 Is 日月光 a big company, or what? Anyway, the design looks superb, the skybridges give it a good look and the cladding has a nice post industrial look to it.

^^ 日月光 = ASE = Advanced Semiconductor Engineering. World's largest semiconductor company, from Taiwan.

^^Thank you :).

Its still growing nonstop. :okay:

^^ Yes, but very slow now...

June 17
http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others/200861716213787141.jpg

Its going very fast now. Currently they are on 44th floor. On June 13rd 40th floor was UC. 4 floors in 4 days. :okay:

4 floors in 4 days are impossible ;)

Previous pic must be older than we thought.

Ok, final figures.

R1: 192.9m, 55 floors, residential
R2: 201.9m, 58 floors, residential
R3: 234.9m, 69 floors, residential
R4: Cancelled
R5: 293.5m, 61 floors, hotel and offices （upwards revision under study）
R6: 428.0m, 88 floors, hotel and offices （upwards revision under study）

7 floor shopping center podium included.

R6 is very likely to be 460-469m, they said. They want to make it taller than Jialing Fanying.

Huge disappointment to me. Only 5 towers now and only 1 of them is confirmed to be a supertall. However R5 is very likely to be back to 300m+ after final revision.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c203/macpolo/Untitled.jpg

The one currently rising is R1, 11 floors left to be topped out.

I hope R6 will start soon. 428 meters! :D
If its decided to make R6 460m, it will be even better. :cheers2:

June 29 by 达历山德罗. It has grown another 2 levels.

Nice project map - very informative. Out of all of those I think ASE Center is one of the best.

The pic I used to make the plot map is a little old. There are several new bridges in the area and new ones approved.

its amazing how up to date you are with these things, z0rg. If only i could read chinese... :(

Anyways, this ASE center is great and as someone asked on the previous page... has the height been increased?

Anyways, this ASE center is great and as someone asked on the previous page... has the height been increased?

Like 100 times :D

Currently 428m, 293m.
There are two aspects which might add height. 1: Slight upwards revision of the two main towers (the other 3 are final already). 2: The current official heights of the 5 towers may not include the crowns.

r1 top out of the main structure
they will add the crown soon

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/DESMOC/20089621314485857.jpg

when do they expect to complete this?

^^ Over 6 months I guess, they still have to build the crown. For some reason in Chongqing they normally finish the structure before starting the cladding and then they set it so freaking quickly.

okay, thats soon :)

For some reason Chinese skyscrapers rise so much quicker, why is this? Do they rly work 24 hours a day or what?

Not sure, some Chinese forumer should answer. Probably because works don't stop on weekends, only during the golden weeks. And they often have turns till midnight or even later. In Shanghai I could see reflections of soldering irons at 1:00 AM coming from the subway construction sites.

Then in China you don't have to deal with the typical problems that delay projects for ages in many countries: NIMBY lobbying, political games, tons of bureaucracy, etc. As long as you have the money (and manage to clear the plot, lol), everything will go very fast :D

R6 confirm to be 460m
近日，中冶赛迪成功签订重庆鼎固房地产开发有限公司的鼎好•世纪星城第四期工程设计合同。
重庆鼎好世纪星城工程项目开发共分四期，前三期工程（R1~R3号楼及裙房）设计规模约为30万m2，第四期工程（R5、R6号楼）是业主在考核中冶赛迪设计的项目管理、技术水平、产品售后服务等方面满意后，并与华东建筑院、重庆市设计院等竞争对手综合比较，最终选取了中冶赛迪作为该项目第四期工程设计的合作伙伴。该期工程总建筑面积约为42万m2，其中R6号楼总高度约为460m，目前暂为重庆第一高楼，比上海金茂大厦高出近40m，集超五星级酒店、大型商场、高级办公为一体的综合性连体超高层建筑。

R1 comfirm to be 193。8m including the crowm

193? z0rg's 293 sounds more realistic, as the differrence between tower 1 and 2 isnt THAT big, idk though.

^^ R1 is the shortest, the one u/c :D

data update



R1: 193.8m, 55 floors, residential
R2: 202.8m, 58 floors, residential
R3: 235.8m, 69 floors, residential
R4: Cancelled
R5: around 330m, 61 floors, hotel and offices （upwards revision under study）
R6: 460.0m, 88 floors, hotel and offices



finally R1 is topping out and R2 is rising now

i can't imagine all these 5 tall building stand in such a small area...too dense, is it ?You almost read my mind, sorry for my naive question, but: are there actually any roads in Chongqing? Because I only see buildings...

where the progress???

This area is really high dense, I guess the traffic will be trouble.

the main tower is 463m, but how high is the tower connected to it ?

how tall is it ? i cant seem to find the height. i'm not talking about the taller tower, i'm talking about the one thats in the pic

This is R1 Tower, the shortest one within the complex.

R1: 193.8m, 55 floors, residential.
R2: 202.8m, 58 floors, residential.
R3: 235.8m, 69 floors, residential.
R5: Around 330m, 61 floors, hotel and offices.
R6: 463m, 88 floors, hotel and offices.

We don't know if the heights for the two big towers include the crowns though. Very little transparency for all Chongqing's 400m+ projects because of the height race in this city.

Very elegant design, it is a great addition to the city´s skyline !

The podium is very tall. Haw tall is it?

^^ that one is residential right?

It means that those ugly, disgusting residential 'buildings' are being replaced :)

^^ I don't think they will replace them, just renovate. The whole plot for the ASE Center towers is already cleared and has been for many years. They will demolish many mid and lowrises close to ASE Center to build the huge Financial Street masterplan though :D

^^ Im pretty confidant that these will be removed:

http://http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/4677/uglybuildings.jpg

EDIT: the pic isnt showing but I see that u didnt get me :) i meant that those ugly lowrises shown in the previous page, which are residentials are being replaced by this tower as its residential.

So if they're building better residential towers right now, its a good sign that the ugly ones that are 10 years old will be demolished. I didnt mean that parts of the ASE center will be demolished :)

not just any super tall a 463 metre supertall but i guess it is just a backalley and it must have a big road on the other side . Actually chongqing has lot of shabby zones in it . They are trying hard to bring investment into this place in order gain momnetum in the whole development in western china region agenda.

but by 2020 i am pretty sure it will become one of the most famous cities in the world

z0rg says--->
Only one of the projects (2 towers) is unlikely to be built, all others should be completed within 2015, maybe a couple of them will be delayed a few more years though. I've cut the CBD core here, the area is just around 0.8km2, shorter than Lujiazui and similar size as Manhattan's FiDi. The white line spans 1000m only.



This is a brief list of the towers there:

1) 463m: ASE Center 1. Started digging last month.
2) 431m: CQ IFC. Foundation/On hold for years as it has been revised upwards for 10+ times. May be revised even higher.
3) 430m (380m without the spire): Financial Street 1. Recently approved, demolition works on going.
4) 331m: Global Financial District. Final height unclear. Digging the hole now.
5) 330m: Lanko International Tower. Rising, around the 20th floor now.
6) 320m: Hongyadong Phase 2. Under design.
7) 318m: Yingli Tower. Foundation works.
8) 308m: Yuzhou Hotel. On hold for years, purchased by a new developer two months ago and likely to be redesigned (probably taller they say).
9) 300m+: Newport Tower 1. Only a proposal, unlikely to be built.
10) 300m: Poly Tower. Rising, around the 15th floor now.
11) 293m (likely to be revised to 320m~): ASE Center 2. Started digging last month.
12) 290m~ (240m without the spire): Financial Street 2. Recently approved, demolition works on going.
13) 283m: WTCC. Completed.
14) 250m: Financial Street 3. Recently approved, demolition works on going.
15) 244m: Xinhua International Building. Rising, around the 15th floor now.
16) 235m: ASE Center 3. Approved.
17) 228m: NYNY Tower. Completed
18) 220m: Financial Street 4. Foundation works.
19) 220m~ (200m without the spire): Financial Street 5. Recently approved, demolition works on going.
20) 210m: Financial Street 5. Recently approved, demolition works on going.
21) 202m: ASE Center 4: Rising, currently around the 5th floor.
22) 200m+: Newport Tower 2. Only a proposal, unlikely to be built.
23) 200m~: Financial Street 6. Recently approved, demolition works on going.
24) 193m: ASE Center 5: Topped out.

You can check the location here, but the map is very outdated as many heights have been revised, and I forgot including the Lanko Intl Tower (which is next to Financial Street). IMO this district is becoming world's densest skyline by far.


This is insane z0rg whoa .What about traffic and stuff have they figured that out .I know chongqing has very good wide roads surronding this entire financial peninsula .No doubt about that but what about the roads criss crossing the peninsula . You have any info on how they plan to solve this .I know they have a monorail but that is just one line and unlike guangzhou beijing and shanghai .They don't seem to have many projects going on as of now to increase substantially the length of monorails or metros

^^ They are planning tons of tunnels and subways.

ASE was revised upwards to 468m, catching up with Jialing Fanying.

those races are sooooo good. By how much has the height on both ASE center and Jialing Fanying been raised?? Do you know, Zorg?

and man, it seems a little childish but as skyscraper freaks we can't complain :P
