卓越•世紀中心項目由東西兩塊地合並而成，總佔地面積30168.18平米，兩塊地之間有規劃的南北方向的市政路，地塊方正。

本項目位於深圳CBD南區東南部；西接會展中心，北隔福華三路與財富大廈相望，南為皇崗中學，東有辛城花園和港麗豪園，是CBD最大的單一業權的商務旗艦項目。

本項目規劃總建築面積43萬平米是集寫字樓、商業、酒店多種業態為一體的大型綜合項目。卓越集團致力於打造 “深圳CBD超級商務航母群”，深圳這個國際化都市最具活力的商務會所，引領深圳全新的“集約式”商務模式。

項目2006年9月奠基，預計2009年開發完畢



The Washington, D.C. office of international architecture, planning, engineering and interior design firm LEO A DALY is serving as design architect for four soaring towers and an expansive retail podium that comprise the Excellence Huanggang Century Center in Shenzhen, China. When complete, the large-scale mixed-use project will total approximately 4.5 million square feet. Groundbreaking is expected to occur in late 2007.

LEO A DALY designers created striking, faceted exteriors for the project's four high-rise buildings. Reaching to 60 and 57 stories respectively, the tallest two towers will feature glass curtain walls, chamfered corners and large-scale diamond-shaped facades that extend and recede from the typical floorplate. With their jewel-like skins, the towers will create a singular, harmonious identity for the project within Shenzhen.
The tallest tower, at approximately 920 feet tall (280 meters) with 60 stories, will be dedicated exclusively to office space. The second tower will be 850 feet (260 meters) tall with 57 stories and will consist of a mix of office, hotel and service apartment space and will feature a top-floor restaurant. The project's podium, which anchors the four towers, will be enveloped in glass and feature a mix of retail, restaurant and entertainment areas. Unlike typical indoor malls of Shenzhen, the Excellence Huanggang Century Center will feature an open-air central courtyard that connects visitors, workers and residents to the outdoor environment. LEO A DALY also designed the facades for the two high-rise towers to be complementary to the tallest two super high-rise towers.

LEO A DALY won the invited design competition for the project, which included three other firms, at the end of 2006.

The project is prominently located on the southeast corner of Shenzhen Central Business District's "two flying dragons" master plan and is adjacent to the Shenzhen Convention Center.

The Excellence Huanggang Century Center project is a collaboration between the Excellence Property Group Company, Ltd., which has the development expertise to realize the project, and the Huanggang Industrial Company, Ltd., which owns the land. It is the vision of collaboration between the organizations that forms the harmonious metaphor for the overall design concept.

pretty boxes ;)

but very beautiful :), i love them

I like these towers, they're unique.

It's the pattern that make the boxes look good.

This project has been just approved and is expected to be started this year.


Tower 1: 368m, 80f
Tower 2: 336m, 73f
Tower 3: 203m, 52f
Tower 4: 120m, 28f

where do you get this or it is only your imagination?
please check its truth before you post it or we will be laughed by the foriegners!

Bor-ring! And why are they hollow at the top?

These twins are pretty cool, like the design

Is it near the city's present sole supertall?

They don't look anything near thier intended heights in those renderings, a lot shorter in fact. They look more like 150-180 meters, certainly no supertall.

please check its truth before you post it or we will be laughed by the foriegners!

A Shenzhenese told me by MSN :) I'll ask him for sources next time I see him online.

WoW, great project!!

The first renders are nice.

any updates on this project?

Nice, but, where is SHENZHEN??? hmm sounds familiar.. China???

This project is currently under construction. The height of the main tower is most likely to be around 300m.

can a mod change the title to UC?

Nice, when will they be completed, and any confirmation of thier heights?

huge area. Nice project but design could be better. I am seeing so many beutiful designs nowadays this didt satisfy me:P

yet again another massive construction site going on in China and i don't mind this boxy buildings one bit its always great to have a variety of architectural design towers and this one fits the mould perfectly for a modern age city called Shenzen

Very ... interesting... design. I'm not quite sure what to think of it yet. Time will tell. But it doesn't look bad to say the least.

I really hope they can revert the buildings' height back to their original.

Shenzhen is getting too many plaza center kinda things with like 4 low towers belonging to one company.

Shenzhen should increase ground price so that people will build taller.

Have they started the cladding? It's an interesting way to grow a building with green covers instead of claddings :)

FINALLY!!!! a bit of cladding!!!
looks pretty good.

looks pretty good, should be around 210 meters now

By the way highest tower is supposed to be 280 meters, not 288 meters. Perhaps the title should be modified? Or are you referring to Excellence Century Plaza phase 1?
I took pictures from the top floor of phase 1, it is only concrete even though the all building is finished. View was fantastic. See the pictures here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/yleberre/3262621428/in/set-72157613465147909/
This one and the following.

This gives you a great view of the on going great Shenzhen FuTian CBD!

^^ unfortunetely according to the first post yes, it shud be 8 meters shorter, but also the second tower should be 260 meters, not 250

Sorry for this lousy picture taken with my iphone yesterday. But I just wanted to show the progress. Do you think they have already reached the maximum height?
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3595/3387215620_bf94bbf89d_b.jpg

^^of coz not
just take a comparison between it and another building beside..

it is about 220-230meters now...

At the feet of the 280 meters tower you really have a feeling of a massive structure, even if it's "only" 280 meters it feels very high!

Here are some of them:

four buildings stand side by side, you can really feel the size of the project. BTW, the two tallest ones should be around 250meters now, so the second one is near completion, and the tallest one still has about half a dozen floors left.

Is it 288 or 280? What are the final roof and parapet heights?

Is it 288 or 280? What are the final roof and parapet heights?

Not sure but it is written 280m on the building itself.

Yes, its a couple blocks away from the Huizhanzhongxin metro station

awesome anyway by 2014 i am sure every place in every big city of china will be connected by metros :P irrespective of where they are

great update!

take it off! take it off! :D

:lol::lol:Lol, I agree. I would think that there will be cladding on parts of the building already, maybe they want a wow effect and have it all unveiled one day when its completely finished.:banana:

These pics seem to have been taken by a random guy like you or me and surely not some picture published by tourism bureau and i am quite happy to see the clear blue skies in Shenzhen :) and its time that hong kong stops blaming Shenzhen and guangdong for its pollution problems ;P

Still blue sky in the back!

"relatively" small indeed. Which gives an even more particular shape to this 4 towers projects.

it looks 3 of them has topped out. one to go!

the tallest one is near topping out

The tower on the left hasn't finished yet, but right tower.

I love the cladding

they look already tall now. I have a feeling this will become Shenzhen's landmark twin tower after completed, there's not much difference between 250m and 280m.

Is the site connected to metro?which station should I stop?

its near Hui Zhan Zhong Xin metro stop

its near Hui Zhan Zhong Xin metro stop

You can stop at HuiZhan ZhongXin metro station. Then it will be quite easy to spot... ;)

amazing building honestly.. http://www.tracker-data.com/data/img/4136/s09v0317fvxp/00.gif

Impressive complex, I really like the facades!

I like the facades as well. But is it just me or does the taller one seem to lean a bit to the right?

yes it leans to the right, as well as all the other towers, the trees, the road, the people.

So i guess the camera was slightly tilted :D

Cool contrast in the last photo there. The small building is being overwhelmed by those skyscrapers. I guess it won't be long before it get demolished?

I have gone through this whole thread to see whether the diagonal folds have large cross braces behind them for lateral resistance to wind and earthquake forces. Does anyone know? This is hard to figure out with the tower rising clad in green netting. Thanks.

nice update. The diamond cladding will make it sepcial and a landmark of Shenzhen.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4043/4283872293_6ec2316165_b.jpg

^^Yes, true that, it willl be one of the many landmarks that Shenzhen will have in future

great pictures. ^^so those are the topped-out 280m/250m-towers?

^^
There doesn't appear to be a 30 metre (almost 100 ft) difference between the heights of the two tallest towers.
Are the final heights still 280m and 250m or has there been a change?

dig it. Really handsome.

I see very few activity on these buildings! After Chinese New Year not much progress has been seen. Anybody know why?

Aren't they mainly working inside the building now?

These are excellent! I just hope that we can see the International Energy Mansion u/c next to it soon....

Great weather to take pictures:

These towers are really great. In spite of being basically boxy, they are gifted with those subtle striped carvings that give them a totally new and fresh look.

Now one of the tower, the North-East one is lighten up at night. Not the best light effects in my opinion, the crosses on the building light up with different colors and lot of specail effects. They should have kept something as sober and elegant as the towers themselves.
I'll try to shoot a video next time.

Oh my god, they are huge !!

I like the four towers

Only the North East tower has its lights on. I'm not a big fan of them.
They should have kept a sober white.
Now FuTian CBD really starts looking like a huge Christmas Tree!

I don't think that the lights are too bad. :)

those lights are frickin cool.

The white lights look better than the rainbow ones
