View Full Version : SUZHOU | Gate of the Orient | 302m | 990ft | 68 fl | U/C
KillerZavatar April 24th, 2011, 02:06 PM Coming soon :D 500m+ and 400m+. One by Hang Lung and the other by Greenland, both very strong.
yeah i saw a lot of huge ass buildings by greenland already. on the front page both looked like twins though, i kinda liked the style, but i guess for now going to real projects we can just wait for new renders ;)
301.8m, check the diagram.

disagreed.suzhou has two decent skyline ,east is around jinji lake,west is hightech industrial park.central is old city.
rebbel13 September 27th, 2011, 05:45 AM ^^
Maybe that's the problem of Suzhou's skyline. 2 parts and the buildings are spread out, from a distance you just see a couple of towers. But the skyline is still developing and will look totally different (and more full) in a couple of years.

KillerZavatar December 31st, 2011, 12:39 AM Yes, this building is not supertall, but is my favorite skyscraper.:)
i always compare sizes to buildings i already know and i just cant stop thinking that this one is the size of the tallest in singapore but its a lot more massive, i mean this is basically 2 buildings in one :D
hmmwv December 31st, 2011, 02:50 AM Since they are joined at the top it's counted as one building, while other twin towers are counted as two, so even though it's just as difficult to build, in terms of bragging rights this will cause one less supertall for China. :)
Ewan117 December 31st, 2011, 10:37 AM The last few pictures makes it look like a taller version of mandarin oriental in shanghai
KillerZavatar January 1st, 2012, 08:45 PM can't wait to see it's connecting the towers soon. also i don't think it will take much more time to be topped out. few months or so if it stays with a good construction speed :banana:

Can't believe how nearly symmetrical the layout of the CBD will be. It doesn't usually work with most cities, as it leads to an inorganic and over-planned feel in the city center. But I think it may work well in Suzhou, such a historical and scenery rich place, which could be served well by some geometric purity.
tim1807 January 19th, 2012, 11:20 PM If that towers behind it wil be build, this nice tower will look so small.:(
But they all have nice claddings.
Atmosphere January 19th, 2012, 11:55 PM True, it sounds weird, but that right tower is maybe a bit too tall? It makes everything else look small.
Kiboko January 20th, 2012, 12:09 AM I hope those planned buildings in post 387 are just for studying the potential of this area, and not for real. These designs are way too anonymous (= boring).
TheZoolooMaster January 21st, 2012, 06:16 PM snip
Some of this urban planning does seem quite impractical. Look how far one would have to walk, just to cross that main road in front of the tower. They should at least build a walkway in the middle, right beneath the gate.

there will not be a skybridge between the two buildings. they are far too far away from each other. Even if it was structural possible it would be far to expensive, although it would be amazing for sure.
