Goettsch Partners designs Park Hyatt Guangzhou mixed-use tower

Goettsch Partners has been commissioned by Guangzhou R&F Properties Co. to design a new 1,000-foot-tall mixed-use building in Guangzhou, China. The project totals 1,878,000 square feet and features a 180-key Park Hyatt hotel, 430,000 square feet of offices, 65,000 square feet of retail, 24 condominiums, 174 serviced apartments, and underground parking for 700 cars. The 66-storey building is located in the Zhujiang development, planned as Guangzhou’s new city center, near the Pearl River. The tight, two-acre site sits over a transit station at the intersection of two subway lines, with neighboring buildings that include the Grand Hyatt Guangzhou, also designed by Goettsch Partners; the city’s new opera house; the new Guangdong Museum; and what will be China’s tallest twin towers at more than 1,300 feet. The Park Hyatt tower is designed as a single volume that pinches in at the corners in relation to the changing programmatic functions stacked within. The field of staggered vertical strips on the façade stretches and compresses like tendons in response to the varying floor-to-floor heights required for each distinct function. The approximately $150 million project is currently in the schematic design phase and is expected to be completed in 2010.

Hmm... I'd like it more if it wasn't so square. Taking bites out of a box doesn't make it any more interesting.

That's a really strange looking tower. Not a huge fan of the look..

hmm, park hyatt seems to be making alot of supertalls, the one in india and now this, cool.:cheers:

:eek2: Very good looking!!!

66 floors for a 305m tower is amazing, shows that height is better then amount of floors.

Looks promising...

new Hyatt in GZ!! :applause:

Nice design!

Im not fond of 'indents' in skyscrapers, but nice glass anyways

Looks freaking great.... love it..

Good news, now Guangzhou will have 10 300+ buildings finished before 2010!

Only Park Hyatt?!? That means the Grand Hyatt must be bigger and better? :nuts:

and again a new supertall for this world :). slowly but surely i can't count them all anymore ^^

Good news, now Guangzhou will have 10 300+ buildings finished before 2010!

1 GZ TV Tower
2,3 GZ Twins
4 CITIC Plaza
5 Pearl River Tower
6 Leatop Plaza
7 Park Hyatt
8 B2-10 plot
9 B1-6 plot
10??

I'm missing something I think. Please update :D

Btw, I noticed they added a concrete height for B1-6 plot already in some plans. Did they release the design for that plot already? Please post info if you have :)

looks like the Hearst tower in new york:ohno:

its not over 300m yet
where did u get this info?

ssccn they said that the gov dont want it over 300m,the the final height will be 285m,probably

but 66 floors is final

I dont think worldarchiteturenews.com invented the height, they surely obtained the figure directly from the architects.

It's an awful looking render but I think it will look great in real life.

I think its impossible to keep up with china's skyscrapers.
its just amazing the amount of buildings theyre puttin up

I think it has an odd design imo.:)

i like the design, but imo it would suit better for a shorter tower.

Not to bad, I like it :)

BTW, they all say this tower will be just 285m. However, official sources claim that it'll be 1000 ft tall (305m) :S

What is the contruction site of this tower?
The first plot with cranes? or the plot in the backside? :nuts:
I can't understand, because in the next pic you show a plot in the backside.

High resolution render


http://www.rfchina.com/UpLoadFile/xiangmuxunli/2009923112446464.jpg

This one will be shorter than expected.
According to CTBUH, this one will have just 289-meters high (947 ft.) and keeping the same number of stories, 66-floors.

http://buildingdb.ctbuh.org/index.php?do=building&building_id=584

^^ Many sources (including the architect website) claim it'll have 1000ft/305m instead. We should find a plan to confirm the correct height :(

The exact height will be 288.5 m. I viewed the elevation drawings at GP office.

Thanks. Somebody should tell them they shouldn't use fake heights in their press releases.

By the way, did you manage to see anything about the Marriott Tianjin?

Thank you for these photos z0rg. That's nice, I am a bit amazed when I see how fast this city develops, and also the othere chineese ones.

Zhujiang New Town is most certainly a very incredible development - not only in scale but also in speediness. Last summer, much of the area was a big pile of mud. Now, the central axis park has opened and skyscrapers adorne both sides.

OT, that gold tower in the backround is awesome! Anyone know what its name is?

^^

P.S NVM...it's not.. i thought it was this one http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=62685....but nope.

It's almost painful to fallow the progress on that one.

Compare the picutre taken in Octobre and the one yesterday. Progress close to zero. Those Asian games and now Spring Festival really did some serious harm to the progress of the towers, and therefore financial loss.

Still no activity on that tower and on most other towers in Zhujiang New Town since 2 weeks. Spring Festival Holidays is way longer for those workers than for average people in office.

nice building

No you're not! normally I hate golden cladding but on this tower it looks really good! It looks really like gold, instead of the more brown/orange versions you see so often.

double post

Am I the only one who, really, really likes that gold clad building on the right of these pictures?

well podium's cladding does looks like something out of halo, but having some yellow cladding in a sea of green/blue cladding makes a more visually appealing skyline, like the Far East Financial Center in Hong Kong IMO. I guess its because I am a man of variety.

Super fast! They're really making the area nice and dense. I can't wait to see the area in a few more years.

amazing speed, really! GZ could rival the big 4 in a few years.

Guangzhou's CBD and skyline is already way better than Beijing's.

I work just next to this building and, therefore, see it everyday. And I have to say that I'm impressed by the speed of the construction. At this pace, it will top out within 6 months. Just incredible.

^skyscrapers are great, but that part of Guangzhou looks so soulless and boring compared to the amazing old backstreets with those traditional shophouses.

I felt it was MUCH MUCH better than Shanghai - Lujiazui when it comes to soulfulness. Everyone was in the park strolling around having a good time.

WOW....Nice pics...:okay:

Cladding is looking better than in the render. I didn't like this from the render, shape looked too irregular. But maybe I'll be surprised, after all it's difficult to see what the shape of it is actually going to be from the render.
