Rejected design 1 510m?

http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/615/01d9bcd0cr9.jpg

no, thats under 510m. more like 350m to 430m

no, thats under 510m. more like 350m to 430m

It does look like under 500m. But it is just a conceptual proposal and they may use similar design but different height. Anyways that one is not gonna be built

The design is pretty advance and the design looks similar to Guangzhou Pearl River Tower. I wonder if its also a green (eco-friendly) building?

This is a great design!

I think it is gonna have some high-tech element. Cos one of the renders above says: "Technology arms buildings"...

BTW the building is very close to the SZ-HK border

i look that design!!

These are huge, huge news. Shenzhen has 3 towers above 400m on the way!!!

no, thats under 510m. more like 350m to 430m

The project in that render was early proposed for Chongqing, and the height was around 280m. Then the developer moved the project to Shenzhen and increased the height to 500m+, but the concept design was still the same: Same twins, much taller. The rest of the story was posted by williamhou2005 already.

well there doesnt seem to be any info about it being over 500m, do u have any links

the twin towers look great, but for the new one, well, I would say it is, hmm, very interesting.

Any chance of it to be taller than the Pingan building?

Nice design..

The old rumour comes true. How exciting.

Really exciting news. Shenzhen's skyscrapers are really booming. We expect more good news from Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

good..news

Really exciting news. Shenzhen's skyscrapers are really booming. We expect more good news from Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

maybe Shenzhen will have the 2nd most supertalls in the world.

With the height of 400 m, once completed, these ITC twin buildings would be one of the highest buulding in Shenzhen. Go Shenzhen!

Kailyas, the twin towers proposal is a rejected design. It pays to read the posts (nos 1, 5, 8 and 9) and not just look at the pictures.

New renders, posted by saturnspace. Rumour claims this tower might reach 600m.

^^ I look like it...!! :banana:

Definitely one of my favorite proposals this year so far. It looks like straight out of a SciFi-movie.

OMG! What a design! :okay:

absolutely stunning design!!! please build that one :drool:

Saturnspace just posted the heights.

Spire: 500m.
Floor: 429m.

Another image, we can see the heights here. By saturnspace.

Skyline effect
http://www.skyscrapers.cn/forum/attachments/20080529_d714bbb862ed21e0d558i1770YMIJTGD.jpg

the impact in the skyline will be really big, can't wait to see it finished :cheers:

Now that a skyscraper. I never seen anything like it. lets hope it get built

amazing stuff, wow :eek:

lol why would they include this comment? "Direction to Hong Kong"? Some sort of transit link?

http://www.skyscrapers.cn/forum/attachments/20080529_4c52c6ef000d934f6446KtuYShh05OgZ.jpg

^^
Hong Kong developer? Targeting Hong Kongnese tenants perhaps? :)
When they proposed a residential tower for southern Malmö targeting Danish tenants they used similar methods in the marketing process (ie. "You will be able to see Denmark from your window etc.). :)


Anyway, I'm not a big fan of this design, yet. I'll wait till I see more renderings or even the finished building. :)

Looks pretty nice. I like it more on it's own than what effect it has on the skyline, which doesn't seem tall enough.

they built shenzens skyline in a place where it can be seen from hong kong. i think it has something to do with showing power, especially back in the day when hong kong still was british.

It looks so.....unstable!! lol But cool as hell! :righton:

Very original.

:eek2::eek2::eek2:So futuristic!!!:nuts: Welcome into the year 2100:lol:.

China is mindblowing, sublieme stuff they are delivering!

This one HAS to be built in the form of the renderings, period. This one looks similar to one the Shanghai Center Rejects, think it was foster's 750m design am I correct?

Does anyone know who the architects are? and developer? construction start? din't find any info on the net...

The site is empty, the rendering's gone, I guess the project is dead

That's sad :(

I think there is some kind of disagreement on the building's height. The local government wants a 300m tall building, but the company wants to build a 500m.

The design sure is different. But it looks great.

wtf's wrong with the government? this makes me so angry. Finally Shenzhen builds such a tall building and the government messes it up... WHY?

yea, the shenzhen urban planning is plain stupid. all the other chinese cities are racing to build supertalls while shenzhen is still in a standstill.

^^ Kingkey (439m) is under construction, there are some other proposals however Shenzhen real estate prices has dropped sharply recenty - not a good environment to build supertalls at all.

Also the other supertall proposal - Pingan Internationa Finance Centre (508m) may not rise anytime soon as Pingan Insurance Group, investor of the tower, lost huge amount of money on its investment in Fortis, news:
http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90001/90776/90884/6517348.html

^^ Office and commercial markets are dropping too or only residential?

I know about residential as this is hot subject for my colleagues, I don't know about office real estate market situation.

Nice design!!!:nuts:

I really like this design :D

this tower was designed by Adrian Smith

^^ good to hear. But it's located a bit too south IMO, probably better if it's located closer to Shennan road.

I doubt about that because i have been hearing a lot of different news about this project as every time had got the negative new finally since few years ago. So, just really can't believe this was Truth.

this company is currently having trouble with cash flow, so I don't think it will get built any time soon.

Umm. The rendering on the first page has ESB and Petronas Towers with the skybridge removed, isn't that tacky??

Oh yeah the foreground contains World Financial Center!!

this company is currently having trouble with cash flow, so I don't think it will get built any time soon.

whats the company called?
is the crisis killing it?

The new design looks nice. It is going to be a monster ! Very very tall !

Have any new design?? please....
If 650~700m !! I must happy!!

I hope they have a better design, the first tower is quite ugly

wow!!sexy!!1

Pics by York. Actual height still unreleased.

oh nice, at least it puts some life back into this project. Still I see only few chances that this thing will go up.

Great design!
Hope it gets the ok. Shenzhen now has two 600m+ proposed.

^^ Yeah,


Shenzhen 2 supertall 600m+
Tianjin 1 supertall 600m+
Shanghai 1 supertall 600m+

Total 4supertalls! cheers :banana::banana:

these are Megatalls ^^

Even if this tower is approved, I don't think it will be taller than 500m.

IMO it definitely looks like 500m+

Even if this tower is approved, I don't think it will be taller than 500m.

I think current plan is 500m, based on City Planning Bureau's data a year ago.

^^ That design should be 500m, we can see the height on one of the renders, but since they published that the project has 600m maybe they are planning a new design?

hopefully no redesign, the design of the 500m version is just perfect i think

^^ Completely agree!

^^ Yeah,


Shenzhen 2 supertall 600m+
Tianjin 1 supertall 600m+
Shanghai 1 supertall 600m+

Total 4supertalls! cheers :banana::banana:

Actually I think Shenyang and Chongqing will have more supertallss(+300m) when compared to hongkong and shanghai both of these cities will be left behind in terms of Supertalls by 2015 .So i am guessing you will see 600m + project prop up sometime in the next two years in both Shenyang and Chongqing

^^ well!! I want beijing supertalls!! I think Hope Guangzhou and Shenzhen and Shanghai and Hong Kong and Chongqing and shenyang and Tianjin very stronger in future...!! Hope Beijing, Nanjing, Wuxi, Suzhou and other around 500m++

I think this is enough building for China, what it needs to do now is spread its people around the world so they learn more about other cultures. Then they can start to teach chinese so that others can go and visit it's beautiful land and experience China as well. This will make it's country better loved and even more influential globally, as well as making the chinese language more used internationally.

:)

very pretty! i liked the design, very good!

We havent had news of this tower for a month... when the construction begins?

I hope the two +600m in Shenzhen begins soon...

I agree, China will become desirable not only for tourists very soon :)

So is any progress happening, or what!?

oh this has to happen... its too beautiful not to happen!

Absolutely daring proportions for a supertall. This would also fit well in Japan. I hope it gets built this way.

This building is not necessary is it. I'd rather more buildings in Guangzhou, it has more history.

if this is in fact 600+ and it will be build together with ping an. Shenzhen will most likely jump ahead of a lot of other giant cities in terms of a high skyline

WOW!!!! So this is still on.... Did you happen to catch if its rendering or height has changed? Thanks Scion!!!

Wow, activity! I don't believe this one will be taller than 500m+ and we'll be lucky if it's still 300m+.

I just hope they keep the design the same, even if its shorter. I noticed the update is from November. Has there been any progress scince then?

Wow, activity! I don't believe this one will be taller than 500m+ and we'll be lucky if it's still 300m+.

how do you know that?

As you can see, that site is wedged in the middle of a very dense residential area. Combined with the fact that it's extremely close to the Shenzhen river means there will be very strict height limit on that plot. z0rg is right, it'll most likely be scaled to ±300m if we are lucky.

thats kinda sad to hear, i would have loved another 600m tower, ok i think we all would have loved it, but yeah still great whatever height it will have

Yes, judging on the location, those pink houses aren't going to be there long. Chances are, they will be asked to move. An iconic tower at 600m shouldn't be squished in between tall and crowded residential areas. It should belong in areas like Pudong or Zhu Jiang etc

^^
No offense, but I don't think that there is any city in the world where a 600m tower can be squished. :yes:

Well I see some guys walking around the site. Hopefully they will launch this after the holiday.

They should make this taller than the Ping An building.

蓝绿 took these photos recently

The project is named GCIG CEPA Square

I'm not sure how I feel about that design :/

quite strange design :bash:

i like :D

the design is strange, yet i havn't said i dislike it, i think i have to see more detailed renders to decide.

I definitely prefer the India tower-esque design of the previous proposal that was around 600m. Although this has a Pagoda type look to it.

quite strange design :bash:

not my taste either.

but i think i may like it more than the india tower like design, this may look good if the cladding is good. the renders only look bad because of the cladding in my opinion the shape isn't too bad.

It looks like a very functional design, just not an eye appealing design. I think that tower would look better in real life than in the render.
