^^ That would be an excellent building!!!

looks similar to Almas tower in Dubai

I love the old Lifan Edifice, very similar to Shanghai's Bank of China tower in Pudong. However, there is no 200m tower I could miss if it has been replaced for a supertall :D:D:D

indeed, i totally agree :D

the 2nd render is very nice... the last one is pretty good too

Unless the supertall design was horrendously ugly. But this supertall design is ok, so can't wait to see it rise :)

i prefer the second design :)

I love it.. but i preffer the 2nd design too..

Anyway, the final design hasn't been chosen.

Demolition works keep going:

GLOBAL FINANCE CENTER






VLA is in the process of further development of our proposal for an international, invited competition for the 'Global Finance Center' in the CBD of Chongqing, China. The proposal was delivered July 31st, 2007. The project is for a skyscraper located in downtown Chongqing, and with its 70 floors and 300m height it will dominate the skyline of this part of the city. The tower will house retail, a hotel, commercial and residential space for a total of 180,000 m 2.

The primary architectural objective for this proposal is to create a landmark building in Chongqing’s CBD which ensures a strong visual presence for the Global Finance Center both at the street level and in the skyline of the city overall. The proposal also seeks to create a modern building which retains a relationship to the region. Other objectives include reinforcing urban relationships surrounding the site, creating a lively and enticing urban environment at the base of the tower which will be the optimal background for exclusive retail, and providing semi-outdoor green spaces as an amenity for the offices and apartments.

i love this design!

It is not??? What the hell... are they playing with us, poor fans? So many AMAZING proposals for this plot and none of them is definitive. This one was my favourite by far...

Good luck in your research, hope you can bring us the final :D

Update
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r5/z0rgg/Global.jpg

I can't understand this... They haven't cleared the plot but they are constructing "something". What the hell is that structure?

They posted a new version. 330m, 79 floors. Is this the final project?
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r5/z0rgg/other/zzzz.jpg

all these proposals are wonderfull !

This project is officially u/c now.

The architect is C.Y. Lee (Taipei 101, etc)

http://www.huaxun-group.com/english/index.asp

The first version was better, at least more original. :ohno:

The last one looks to much on IFC Shanhai.

New design? It is the wierd one in the background. By CY Lee studio (Taipei 101 architect). It's 环球金融中心, btw.
http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others/41s3s5nw.jpg

Another known one also by CY Lee.
http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others/303.jpg

This is by another different studio. The best by far imo.
http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others/46df8ad8.jpg

Chrysler Building? http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others/303.jpg

I prefer the second one. The motifs on the facade reminds me old Chinese houses.

Google earth poster showing all main projects in the city center including Global Financial Building. The image doesn't include some supertalls too far away from the center like Jialing Fanying (443m), Dadukou Twin Towers (2x385m), etc.


http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others/ChongqingCBD.jpg

More images of one of the proposals. 330m, 72 floors. Probably final, much better than earlier version in my opinion. What a pity it is not too tall...

^^The garden at the top of this building looks good. The tower looks prety good also.

thats the final

Looks sharp the way it's lit up at night.

Newest version. Officially released, will be started in 2009 H2.
Supposed to have 80 floors, we can only count 72~ though. They probably included underground floors. Still 300m+.

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others/2172123593575.jpg

Not bad, but i prefer the previous one which looks more elegant and beautiful...

why change a perfect design?

Construction schedule released.
Start: September 2009
Completion: December 2011
http://p.tgnet.cn/CQHQJR/

2 years? A bit ambitious isn't it?

don't worry, chinese workers are very fast :D

Let me guess this image. The occupant of that house doesn't want to leave unless the contractor will pay him/her with a good amount of money and some incentives (probably a new house or similar). I am not sorry for him though. I hope he got freedom to stay there until they negotiate a good deal. However, it's delaying the construction. I am hoping this will be resolve soon.

NOTE:
It's just a guess.

:banana: finaly! cant wait to see chongqing in another ten years

The total height is 338.9 metres. From the official website of WFC. In Chinese http://www.worthyland.com/NewsShow.asp?ID=93

Hopefully, it will be as good as you think it will be, but I for one have some doubts.:ohno: None of Chongqing's 400+m towers have ever started construction. Ase Center has been under prep forever, Jialing Fanying is been under prep forever, Sun Valley is apparently the same way and so is the KPF Finnancial Project. And the Chongqing World Finnancial Center has been changed countless times and has been on-hold forever. As it is Chongqing has lost the Poly Center as a supertall, which leaves only this, Yingli, and United International. Like I said, until I see some of them under construction, I will have to withdraw my opinion on that matter. But keep dreaming, it might come true......................someday. ;)

“重庆环球金融中心”总用地面积约5800平方米，总建筑面积约20.2万平方米，建筑总层数约78层，建筑高度约338.9米。 Of course, you can say him/her is 339 metres.

To #89
Jia Ling Fan Ying Supertall Phase 2, ICC 468 metres and 184 metres will be under construction at the beginning of 2011.

I agree.

A few of these shots really remind me of the stretch of Michigan avenue between 2 prudential and Hancock in chi-town.

yes, CQ definitely has the big shoulders feel of Chicago. In fact, many Chinese equate Chongqing to China's Chicago.
