Many of them look incredibly tacky and overdesigned by those typical architects with an unlimited ego who love to destroy some city skyline with a project that sticks out a mile. Many others on the other hand are simply perfect. Stunning, freaking beautiful. Same problem as always though: Not tall enough. None of them looks taller than 400m. A couple of them may be 400m~, that's all. But anyway, just look at those models around the end of the gallery, they are so beautiful. What about the heights? Some proposals are just a few towers around 180-200m. There is a couple of proposals that don't have any highrise :crazy: Others on the other hand seem to have 3 or even 4x300m~. Many have 4x200-350m. We'll see. These are my 4 favourites. 1. Absolutely perfect. http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/IMG_2338.jpg 2. Very iconic and futuristic. http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/IMG_2322.jpg 3. Beautiful, very beautiful http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/IMG_2328.jpg 4. Not too special, but 4x280-330m~ seems very OK to me :D http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/IMG_2334.jpg z0rg August 5th, 2009, 05:44 PM One of the proposals for CQ's PYI Intl Center.

From Renmin Ribao: 上海国际贸易中心建设破题 建设呼之欲出2009年8月4日 06:46 来源:人民日报 作者:谢卫群 选稿:方翔 东方网8月4日消息:8月3日,上海市商务委与上海长宁区签署推进商务工作全面发展合作框架协议,确定虹桥地区为国际贸易中心主体功能承载区,并拟采取市、区联手推进机制。这是上海市推进国际贸易中心建设的重要举措,上海国际贸易中心建设正式破题。 国际贸易中心建设呼之欲出 把上海建设成为国际经济、贸易、金融、航运四大中心,是党中央、国务院赋予上海的使命。今年3月,国务院出台了有关上海国际金融中心和国际航运中心建设的有关意见,如何建设经济中心和贸易中心摆上了议事日程。 中共中央政治局委员、上海市委书记***在推进金融中心建设大会上曾这样表达:有人问我,上海不是要建成四个中心吗?为什么国务院只批两个中心呢?我的理解是,上海的“四个中心”中,经济中心的范畴比较大,可以涵盖后面的三个中心,只要后三个中心建设好了,经济中心也就自然成了。而在后三个中心中,金融中心、航运中心建设不仅事关上海,还涉及国家层面,所以,需要国家出台政策。而贸易中心建设完全可以立即操作。 正是基于这一思路,上海加快了国际贸易中心的建设步伐。上海市政府副秘书长、商委主任沙海林,长宁区委书记卞百平一致认为,虹桥国际贸易中心主要承载区的确立,拉开了国际贸易中心建设的帷幕。 选择虹桥得天独厚 从上海的情况看,选择大虹桥地区成为国际贸易中心的主功能区得天独厚。 长宁区是上海的西大门,而其中的虹桥地区是上海最早的涉外贸易中心。虹桥经济技术开发区是国务院批准设立的第一个以第三产业为主导的国家级开发区,20多年来,虹桥开发区已集聚了全市1/3的驻沪领事馆和1/2的驻沪领事;在这个区域里,已拥有各类外资企业和外国企业代表处3600多家;这里也是上海的跨国采购集聚区,仅世贸商城内的跨国采购平台,就集聚了39家世界各国的跨国企业采购中心,初步形成了现代采购中心。 同时,这一地区相应的配套设施也很完善。以会展设施为例,拥有国际展览中心、世贸商城等,展览展示面积达4.5万平方米,是改革开放后上海最早的也是目前上海三大会展集聚区之一。 长宁区区长李耀新介绍,今后将用7年左右的时间,使虹桥主体功能区在功能布局、空间载体、企业集聚和配套服务等方面,能真正承担起上海国际贸易中心建设的重任。初步考虑,将虹桥涉外贸易中心作为虹桥主体功能区的核心区域,将虹桥临空港地区作为虹桥主体功能区的重要支撑,重点发展总部经济、专业会展、航空物流和服务外包等,将虹桥贸易总部地区建成国际知名贸易企业总部集聚的总部型生态园区。 为提升这个区域的功能,长宁还将重点打造一批功能性项目,其中最亮点是建设高达120层的上海世界贸易中心,届时,它将成为上海西部地区的标志性建筑,成为国际贸易组织、国际性商会组织、国内贸易机构的集聚平台。 Google Translator: The construction of Shanghai International Trade Center building ready-breaking title at 6:46 on August 4, 2009 Source: People's Daily Author: Wei-Qun Xie selection:方翔 Daily News August 4: August 3, the Shanghai Business Shanghai Changning District Committee and the signing of the comprehensive development of the work to promote business co-operation framework agreement to determine the Hongqiao International Trade Center area is the main function of carrying the district and intends to take the city, district jointly push forward the mechanism.

International Trade Center building ready The construction of Shanghai into an international economic, trade, finance, shipping four centers, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council entrusted the mission of Shanghai. In March this year, the State Council promulgated the Shanghai international financial center and the construction of an international shipping center, the views, how to build an economic center and trade center has been put on the agenda. Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal *** building a financial center in promoting the General Assembly had this expression: Some people asked me not to build four Shanghai center? Why is the State Council has only approved two centers? My understanding is that Shanghai's "four centers", the economic center of the relatively large area to cover the back of the three centers, as long as the building after the three centers, and it naturally became the economic center. In three centers, financial and shipping center in Shanghai not only bears, but also at the national level, therefore, introduced the need for national policy. Trade Center building and can be operated immediately. Based on this thinking, Shanghai International Trade Center to speed up the pace of the building. Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Municipal Government, appointed director of business沙海林, secretary of Changning District Baiping Bian agreed that the Hongqiao International Trade Center to establish the main bearing area, began construction of the International Trade Center today. Hongqiao unique choice From the situation in Shanghai, the choice of Hongqiao area as an international trade center area of the main unique feature. Shanghai Changning District is the west gate, which is the Hongqiao area of Shanghai Foreign Trade Center first. Hongqiao Economic and Technological Development Zone was approved by the State Council set up the first of a tertiary industry-driven national development zones, 20 years, the Hongqiao Development Zone, the city has gathered 1 / 3 of the Consulate General in Shanghai and 1 / 2 in Consul General in Shanghai; in this region has a wide range of foreign-funded enterprises and more than 3,600 representative offices of foreign enterprises; here is the Shanghai International Merchandising concentration areas, only the cross-Shanghaimart procurement platform, to gather the 39 countries in the world multinational purchasing center, the initial formation of a modern procurement centers. At the same time, the region corresponding facilities are perfect. To exhibition facilities, for example, have an international exhibition center, such as the World Trade Center, the exhibition display area of 45,000 square meters, is the reform and opening-up the first Shanghai Shanghai is currently one of the three major exhibition gathering. Li new Changning District, the future will be 7 years or so, so that the main function of Hongqiao District in the functional layout, space vector, corporate concentration and ancillary services, can really take on the construction of Shanghai International Trade Center of the task. Preliminary consideration to Hongqiao Hongqiao Foreign Trade Center, the main function as the core of the region will be temporary Hongqiao Hongqiao Airport as the main functional areas of an important support area, focusing on the development of headquarters economy, professional exhibition, aviation logistics and service outsourcing and so on, will be headquartered Hongqiao area of trade into an international well-known corporate headquarters gather the Trade eco-park headquarters.

ZZ-II August 6th, 2009, 09:27 PM 120 story tower in Shanghai, great news :cheers: z0rg August 7th, 2009, 07:25 PM CHONGQING | ASE Center | 463m, 88 floors; 320m~, 61 floors. Under construction - Foundation works. Architect: Dennis Lau & Ng Chun Man Architects (www.dln.com). Developer: ASE Group (www.asetwn.com.tw/). After confirming a total height of 463m, this project is confirmed to be the winner of the several-year height race between Chongqing supertall proposals. The developer, from Taiwan, is the world’s largest semiconductor company, and has managed to defeat all the real estate titans that competed for the title in the last years. Revision after revision, the project has been raised from just 300m to 463m, and the number of towers has varied along the time. Finally, the height for the secondary highrises has been reduced in favor of the two main skyscrapers. The final project has five towers to be constructed in two phases. The first phase is composed by the towers R1, R2 and R3, all residential. They have 193m, 55 floors; 202m, 58 floors and 235m, 69 floors respectively. The two main towers have 463m, 88 floors and around 330m, 61 floors respectively. The figures for the two big ones may be incorrect as it is unclear whether the crystal structure on the roof is included.

From Renmin Ribao: 上海国际贸易中心建设破题 建设呼之欲出2009年8月4日 06:46 来源:人民日报 作者:谢卫群 选稿:方翔 东方网8月4日消息:8月3日,上海市商务委与上海长宁区签署推进商务工作全面发展合作框架协议,确定虹桥地区为国际贸易中心主体功能承载区,并拟采取市、区联手推进机制。这是上海市推进国际贸易中心建设的重要举措,上海国际贸易中心建设正式破题。 国际贸易中心建设呼之欲出 把上海建设成为国际经济、贸易、金融、航运四大中心,是党中央、国务院赋予上海的使命。今年3月,国务院出台了有关上海国际金融中心和国际航运中心建设的有关意见,如何建设经济中心和贸易中心摆上了议事日程。 中共中央政治局委员、上海市委书记***在推进金融中心建设大会上曾这样表达:有人问我,上海不是要建成四个中心吗?为什么国务院只批两个中心呢?我的理解是,上海的“四个中心”中,经济中心的范畴比较大,可以涵盖后面的三个中心,只要后三个中心建设好了,经济中心也就自然成了。而在后三个中心中,金融中心、航运中心建设不仅事关上海,还涉及国家层面,所以,需要国家出台政策。而贸易中心建设完全可以立即操作。 正是基于这一思路,上海加快了国际贸易中心的建设步伐。上海市政府副秘书长、商委主任沙海林,长宁区委书记卞百平一致认为,虹桥国际贸易中心主要承载区的确立,拉开了国际贸易中心建设的帷幕。 选择虹桥得天独厚 从上海的情况看,选择大虹桥地区成为国际贸易中心的主功能区得天独厚。 长宁区是上海的西大门,而其中的虹桥地区是上海最早的涉外贸易中心。虹桥经济技术开发区是国务院批准设立的第一个以第三产业为主导的国家级开发区,20多年来,虹桥开发区已集聚了全市1/3的驻沪领事馆和1/2的驻沪领事;在这个区域里,已拥有各类外资企业和外国企业代表处3600多家;这里也是上海的跨国采购集聚区,仅世贸商城内的跨国采购平台,就集聚了39家世界各国的跨国企业采购中心,初步形成了现代采购中心。 同时,这一地区相应的配套设施也很完善。以会展设施为例,拥有国际展览中心、世贸商城等,展览展示面积达4.5万平方米,是改革开放后上海最早的也是目前上海三大会展集聚区之一。 长宁区区长李耀新介绍,今后将用7年左右的时间,使虹桥主体功能区在功能布局、空间载体、企业集聚和配套服务等方面,能真正承担起上海国际贸易中心建设的重任。初步考虑,将虹桥涉外贸易中心作为虹桥主体功能区的核心区域,将虹桥临空港地区作为虹桥主体功能区的重要支撑,重点发展总部经济、专业会展、航空物流和服务外包等,将虹桥贸易总部地区建成国际知名贸易企业总部集聚的总部型生态园区。 为提升这个区域的功能,长宁还将重点打造一批功能性项目,其中最亮点是建设高达120层的上海世界贸易中心,届时,它将成为上海西部地区的标志性建筑,成为国际贸易组织、国际性商会组织、国内贸易机构的集聚平台。 Google Translator: The construction of Shanghai International Trade Center building ready-breaking title at 6:46 on August 4, 2009 Source: People's Daily Author: Wei-Qun Xie selection:方翔 Daily News August 4: August 3, the Shanghai Business Shanghai Changning District Committee and the signing of the comprehensive development of the work to promote business co-operation framework agreement to determine the Hongqiao International Trade Center area is the main function of carrying the district and intends to take the city, district jointly push forward the mechanism. This is the Shanghai International Trade Center to promote the building of an important measure, the construction of Shanghai International Trade Center officially started. International Trade Center building ready The construction of Shanghai into an international economic, trade, finance, shipping four centers, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council entrusted the mission of Shanghai. In March this year, the State Council promulgated the Shanghai international financial center and the construction of an international shipping center, the views, how to build an economic center and trade center has been put on the agenda. Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal *** building a financial center in promoting the General Assembly had this expression: Some people asked me not to build four Shanghai center? Why is the State Council has only approved two centers? My understanding is that Shanghai's "four centers", the economic center of the relatively large area to cover the back of the three centers, as long as the building after the three centers, and it naturally became the economic center. In three centers, financial and shipping center in Shanghai not only bears, but also at the national level, therefore, introduced the need for national policy. Trade Center building and can be operated immediately. Based on this thinking, Shanghai International Trade Center to speed up the pace of the building. Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Municipal Government, appointed director of business沙海林, secretary of Changning District Baiping Bian agreed that the Hongqiao International Trade Center to establish the main bearing area, began construction of the International Trade Center today. Hongqiao unique choice From the situation in Shanghai, the choice of Hongqiao area as an international trade center area of the main unique feature. Shanghai Changning District is the west gate, which is the Hongqiao area of Shanghai Foreign Trade Center first. Hongqiao Economic and Technological Development Zone was approved by the State Council set up the first of a tertiary industry-driven national development zones, 20 years, the Hongqiao Development Zone, the city has gathered 1 / 3 of the Consulate General in Shanghai and 1 / 2 in Consul General in Shanghai; in this region has a wide range of foreign-funded enterprises and more than 3,600 representative offices of foreign enterprises; here is the Shanghai International Merchandising concentration areas, only the cross-Shanghaimart procurement platform, to gather the 39 countries in the world multinational purchasing center, the initial formation of a modern procurement centers. At the same time, the region corresponding facilities are perfect. To exhibition facilities, for example, have an international exhibition center, such as the World Trade Center, the exhibition display area of 45,000 square meters, is the reform and opening-up the first Shanghai Shanghai is currently one of the three major exhibition gathering. Li new Changning District, the future will be 7 years or so, so that the main function of Hongqiao District in the functional layout, space vector, corporate concentration and ancillary services, can really take on the construction of Shanghai International Trade Center of the task. Preliminary consideration to Hongqiao Hongqiao Foreign Trade Center, the main function as the core of the region will be temporary Hongqiao Hongqiao Airport as the main functional areas of an important support area, focusing on the development of headquarters economy, professional exhibition, aviation logistics and service outsourcing and so on, will be headquartered Hongqiao area of trade into an international well-known corporate headquarters gather the Trade eco-park headquarters. In order to enhance the function of this region, Changning will feature a number of key projects to build, the most bright spot is the 120-story building up to the World Trade Center in Shanghai, when Shanghai will become a symbol of the western region of construction, international trade organizations, International Chamber of Commerce organizations, national trade bodies gather platform.

The tallest tower will have 400m according to press releases. In the last weeks KPF has added a lot of projects to its website, hope they keep updating so that we can see high resolution renders of their supertall projects in Tianjin and Shenzhen. http://www.kpf.com/ MEIXI LAKE CHANGSHA, PRC CLIENT : GALE INTERNATIONAL Meixi Lake is a New City in the West Changsha Pioneer Zone in the Hunan Province of the People’s Republic of China. Meixi Lake will be home to 180,000 inhabitants and will provide sustainable neighborhoods for living, working, recreation, culture, entertainment and convention. The CBD wraps around a 3.85 kilometer long lake lined with a public promenade from which canals and gardens connect to the eight residential neighborhoods. This city maintains the highest international standards for sustainable living. The KPF design for the Meixi Lake master plan seeks to establish a paradigm of man living in balance with nature. A densely concentrated urban plan, packed with a full variety of functions and building types, is integrated with mountains, lakes, parks and canals, resulting in an environment which promotes both health and prosperity. As a new center within the larger metropolitan area of Changsha, Meixi proposes to offer a new model for the future of the Chinese city. Advanced environmental engineering, pedestrian planning, cluster zoning, and garden integration, are all made part of a holistic strategy of design in this healthy city. The first element of the Meixi plan is water. Water is retained to form a 40 hectare lake, which constitutes the "central park" of the city. This lake provides for boat transport linkages, creates conditions for edge gardens, and makes places for cultural venues. Around the circular heart of this water body is wrapped the mixed use CBD. Here, high rise building districts are connected by a pedestrian tram street, reducing the need for car use in the city center. Radiating from the water's edge is a series of canals, allowing for boat transport from the city center to any one of eight neighborhood clusters. Each cluster houses about 10,000 people, and includes a village center featuring a school, shopping area, and other public functions. These neighborhoods are separated from one another by green buffers which accommodate exercise fields and natural landscape zones. The architecture of each "village" will be different, but material and formal coherence will be encouraged within each zone so as to create a sense of place.

The Master Plan is a transformative and sustainable vision for the redevelopment of the Huangpu district of Puxi in Shanghai. The plan provides a rational framework for the transformation of the district that supports the overall vision of a modern Shanghai as a major global financial center. The project design drew from studies of world global financial centers, including New York and London, to determine the physical elements that make prime financial centers attractive to businesses and talents. The key components of the Master Plan include the creation of mixed-use districts, with office, service apartment, retail and cultural facilities; the reliance on and full integration of public transportation into the master plan; and a carefully integrated preservation to tie the new infill development with the history of the district. Because of its unique location and rich history, the Master Plan is more akin to a selective urban intervention strategy than to a major reconstruction of the entire area. The design team worked with local design institutes evaluating significance of all build environment on site. The district history played a key determinant role in shaping the plan, including the location of high rise towers to mark key gateways to the old City and to define the whole district on the Shanghai skyline. Selective preservation will transform unique historic neighbourhoods into mixed-use retail and cultural sub-districts. A major cultural institution on the Bund will transform the image of the district and Shanghai worldwide and become a catalyst for investment in the area. http://www.worldarchitecturenews.com/index.php?fuseaction=wanappln.projectview&upload_id=12255 deepblue01 September 3rd, 2009, 02:24 AM so they are going to clear the whole land and then rebuild some of the traditional Chinese and European style buildings?

Among the four land lots adjacent to Jintian Road, the largest, covering more than 8,000 square meters, was bought for 985 million yuan by Sino Life Insurance Co., which moved its headquarters to Shenzhen from Shanghai a year ago. China Life, which bought an additional piece of land for 515 million yuan, plans to build a 100-meter-tall office building for its Shenzhen branch, according to Liang Yong, general manager of the company’s Shenzhen branch. CDB Leasing Co. Ltd. purchased another lot for 481 million yuan and Minsheng Financial Leasing Co. Ltd. bought the remaining land for 338 million yuan. At least 60 percent of the office area in the four buildings should be for the companies’ own use and won’t be eligible for sale for 10 years, according to the contracts. The four office buildings to be completed before October 2012 will have a total construction area of 289,000 square meters, giving the land an average value of around 8,000 yuan per square meter, relatively very low for the area, analysts say. “For that area, residential apartments are being sold for around 25,000 yuan per square meter and offices sell at 40,000 yuan per square meter, so the land price is very low,” said Wu Jian, a director with DTZ’s South China branch. This illustrates the support the city government is lending to financial service companies setting up offices in the Futian CBD, said Song Ding, a senior real estate analyst with China Development Institute. Shenzhen, whose competitiveness as a financial center ranks fifth worldwide in the latest Global Financial Centers Index published late last month, has been actively seeking to enhance its status as a financial center. Ping An Insurance recently broke ground for the construction of its headquarters building on a land lot in Futian CBD it acquired for 1.66 billion yuan in November 2007, which is planned for completion at the end of 2014. In addition, 13 other well-known companies, including CITIC Bank, Guosen Securities and China Merchants Securities, have acquired land to build their office buildings in the area. The Shenzhen Stock Exchange will be relocated to the CBD from its existing location in Luohu District. oliver999 October 20th, 2009, 05:20 AM scientific movie,come to real. slitomwri October 20th, 2009, 10:53 AM Very good idea, and great job on the map z0rg :okay: You always hear about Shanghai or Hongkong but it's suprising to see there are cities with even more skyscraper projects in China.

The competition was sponsored by the Chaoyang District Government and the Beijing CBD Administration Committee. Seven teams of the world’s leading urban planners, urban designers and architects were invited to participate. Philip Enquist, FAIA, Partner-in-Charge of Urban Design and Planning for SOM, led this effort. The SOM plan calls for the establishment of three new districts anchored by signature parks and green boulevards. New modes of public transportation are proposed, including express commuter rail service between the Beijing Capital International Airport, the CBD, and high speed rail service at Beijing South Station. A new streetcar system is proposed to conveniently link all areas of the CBD. A network of small, walkable blocks is proposed to establish a pedestrian-friendly scale for development and every street would be bicycle friendly. The SOM plan defines new strategies for building municipal infrastructure and high performance buildings. Implementation of the plan could reduce energy consumption within the district by 50%, reduce water consumption by 48%, reduce landfill waste by 80%, and result in a 50% reduction in carbon emissions. Reduction in emissions from office buildings alone would equate to a reduction of 215,000 tons of CO2 per year, which is the equivalent of planting 14 million adult trees. SOM’s vision for the Beijing CBD provides the framework that will enable China’s capital city to grow as a global center for commerce, yet be a green and ecological setting for healthy life. About SOM Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) is one of the leading architecture, urban planning, interior design, and engineering firms in the world, with a 75-year reputation for design excellence and a portfolio that includes some of the most important architectural accomplishments of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Approved. Architect: John Portman (www.portmanusa.com ). Developer: Eton Properties (www.etonhold.com ). Located in Shenhe district, next to Hang Lung Plaza twin towers, this project will be started in mid-2009 according to recent releases. The final layout was decided in late 2008 after dismissing NBBJ’s proposal. The current height probably doesn’t include the spires in the main tower.

Lotte Group project may be far more interesting than expected from the preliminary renders. This project is a huge mystery to me, I don't really know what to think. At first they announced that the project would have 275m, 65 floors. No clear detalis at all, only a few ultra tacky renders like this: http://news.syd.com.cn/contentimg/attachement/jpg/site2/20081028/001485a7b8c10a70eff702.jpg But this the design posted at Junglim Architecture website :O http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/Lotte1.jpg http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/Lotte2.jpg http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/Lotte3.jpg http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/Lotte4.jpg Developer: Lotte Group Architect: RTKL + Junglim Architecture No heights, it only says "65 floors", but the main tower clearly has 76, it should be around 290-350m imo. Also the twin towers look quite tall, in the second render where we can distinguish the floors it seems that they both have more than 70 either. They should be around 280-320m imo. We'll see. On the other hand, Shenyang projects have been very disappointing in the past, announcing huge skyscraper projects whose final design became far shorter in the end. Examples: Northeast WTC. From 400m~ to 260m (320m~ if they add a spire, still unclear). Dragon Dream Pacific Center. From 4x400m (yes) to 2x400m, then 2x300m and finally just 2x270m~. Shimao Wulihe City. From 2x300m to 2x285m. Sunrise City. From 377m to 2x150m. Shenyang IFC. Currently 428m, may be revised downwards they say. So we better don't expect much from this till they start construction. There are also a few examples of huge upwards revision anyway, the trend works in both ways. Lotte project will be built opposite the north railway station. They are planning tons of stuff around the railway station area, including: SYIFC: 428m Richgate Project: 426m, 350m, 350m Northeast WTC: 260m (300m+ if they add the crown) And a couple of blocks southwards: Hang Lung complex: 380m, 350m, 2x200m. Eton project: 400m, 380m~.

Designed by César Pelli studio http://www.pcparch.com/#/projects/office-buildings/on-the-boards---tower-1/description/ The design of this 1,600 foot tall tower was shaped by the city’s recent history. As an important port in Northern China, the city was strongly affected by western influences in the last 150 years. This contributed to the great diversity in the culture and high level of sophistication only a few port cities in China shared. The tower subtly illustrates the confluence and interrelationships between these various influences. Starting at the hexagonal base, this beautiful form has a strong directional twist. To counteract the arbitrary direction two towers twisted in opposite directions. The result shows exceptional beauty and grace. The 12 sweeping arcs intersect at 3 points along the height of the tower http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/others3/3523523.jpg http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/others3/643634634.jpg z0rg November 21st, 2009, 12:05 PM Binjiang New City.

The forms were derived from a variety of local sources. The tower profile with a gentle bulge at the lower portion is an abstraction of the organic forms pervasive in the country’s famous gardens. The plans have eight articulated facets that allude to the petal arrangement of many flowers, but are distorted in response to the dimensional limitations of the site. This deformation, similar to the accommodations of organisms in response to the environment, is also a lesson learned from nature. The design references both the delicate texture of plants in the gardens as well as the elaborate screens decorating private pavilions. An intricate screen, designed for the high performance curtain wall, will further reduce solar heat gain. http://www.pcparch.com/#/projects/new-work/new-work-on-the-boards---tower-3/ z0rg December 1st, 2009, 01:01 PM More about Bashang Jie masterplan in Hefei.

The project is located at the junction of LRT No.1 and No.2, bordered by the Nanfei River landscape to the south, very close to Gujing Holiday Inn and Commercial Pedestrian Street on Huaihe Road, with Hefei Wanda Plaza across the river, and has good commercial amenities and cultural atmosphere, as well as superior natural environment. z0rg December 1st, 2009, 01:26 PM Remember that rumor about the 505m twin tower megaproject in Beijing a few years ago? Fanhai International Twin Towers. We never managed to confirm it. But it seems there is indeed some real Fanhai proposal. I don't know what to think. No dates, maybe it is a stale proposal and it's been in this website for years and nobody noticed. The tallest tower has around 70 floors and a big crown, probably 300m+. The other two are around 53 floors. http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/others2/others3/CityLandmark.jpg Fan Hai International Centre, China Northeast of Beijing’s Central Business District, and framed by Chao Yang Park, the new Fan Hai International Centre will form the crown of the Chao Yang District. As the tallest building located within the District, the new Centre will be very influential on the future development of the area. The project will serve as a landmark not only for the Chao Yang District, but the entire city. Inspired by icons of Beijing’s traditional architecture, the design endeavours to unify the city’s significant cultural aspects with modernity and innovative technology. The project will reinforce Beijing’s existing texture, and encourage connectivity within the city, while also becoming its own distinct destination. The project consists of two office towers, a serviced apartment/hotel tower and a retail exhibition area organised around a central arrival plaza - the proximity of the elements ensures a highly interactive environment.

Deriving inspiration from mountainous Chinese landscapes, MAD architects have planned to build a commercial high-rise structure in Chongqing, China. Dubbed the ‘Urban Forest’, the tall building brings nature and open space together in a crowded and compact manner. The 70 story building is made up of curved, abstracted shaped floors which have been layered slightly off-center from one another. A core cylindrical structure connecting the floors supports and hosts the mechanical systems and elevators. Each level of the structure from bottom to top is protected by full-length glass windows providing the perfect city view. It also incorporates varying size balconies, crystal-clear pools, beautiful trees and amazing courtyards. The floors are a mix of open spaces and offices or residential space. The urban forest is the beautiful amalgamation of nature and the urban metropolis. http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/DESMOC/Urban-Forest-6.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/DESMOC/Urban-Forest-7.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/DESMOC/urban-forest1_KJlvx_24429.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/DESMOC/urban-forest2_Hroki_24429.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/DESMOC/urban-forest3_5uFXR_24429.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/DESMOC/urban-forest5_k9zYj_24429.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/DESMOC/urban-forest6_H5kyg_24429.jpg location nowadays http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/DESMOC/5jpgthumb.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/DESMOC/3jpgthumb.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/DESMOC/2jpgthumb.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/DESMOC/1jpgthumb.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/DESMOC/4jpgthumb.jpg staff December 3rd, 2009, 04:27 AM I soo want to see that built.

Rather than consider the project vertically, the architects envisage a stack of floors, each slice shifted horizontally to create spaces for gardens and patios. The 385 metre-high building will be called Urban Forest. Here’s some text from MAD: – Urban Forest By the end of 2009, MAD has completed the concept design of a 385 meter high metropolitan cultural complex in the city center of Chongqing – The Urban Forest. This is the third skyscraper designed by MAD following the Absolute Towers in Toronto and the Sinosteel International Plaza in Tianjin, China. MAD proposes a new architectural concept for the course of Chinese urban development – to actualize a sustainable multidimensional high-rise within China’s youngest municipality, where nature reincorporates into the high-density urban environment in the near future, to evoke the affection for nature once lost in the oriental ancient world and bring to the modern city dwellers. http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/12/dzn_Urban-Forest-by-MAD11.jpg In the year of 1997, Chongqing became the fourth direct municipality in China. http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/12/dzn_Urban-Forest-by-MAD12.jpg As an important pole of the growing economy in western China, the city area of Chongqing is more than twice of those of Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin combined. http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/12/dzn_Urban-Forest-by-MAD081000.jpg Such macro-scale urbanization should not only pushes economic growth and material prosperity, but also foster the evolution of the city’s cultural essence. Chinese cities have gone through the process of once starting from nothing, to following contemporary Western civilization urban pattern. Now, the overall economic infrastructure has oriented the direction of future development towards inland China. http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/12/dzn_Urban-Forest-by-MAD05.jpg What lies in the future of cities? How should one grasp the concept of emerging high-density cities of China in the context of a scenic town such as Chongqing? How does one discuss the future of architecture in Chinese cities on the base of Eastern Naturalist perspective and in the new context of China’s unique economic, social environment and globalization background? How to engage the city dwellers with an experience of nature when its presence of steadily diminishes in the face of the ever intensifying concrete jungle. http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/12/dzn_Urban-Forest-by-MAD03.jpg Throughout the process of contemporary Western urbanization, skyscrapers were the symbol of technological competitions, prime capitals and the formal enslavement of the powerful and the rich. Sustainable ecology became more of a demand for comfort; while the yearning of a return to nature was left ignored. The Urban Forest draws inspiration from the perspective of nature and the man-made in Eastern Philosophy, and ties the urban city life with the natural outdoor experiences. http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/12/dzn_Urban-Forest-by-MAD07.gif The shape of the architecture mimics mountain range, shifting in a dynamic and yet holistic rhythm, and becomes a continuation of nature. Unlike its preceding counterparts, The Urban Forest no longer emphasizes on vertical force, instead it concentrates on the multidimensional relationships within complex anthropomorphic spaces: multilayer sky gardens, floating patios and minimal and yet well lit nesting spaces, the architectural form dissolves into the fluid spatial movements between air, wind, and light. In this environment, people encounter nature filled with unexpected surprises. http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/12/dzn_Urban-Forest-by-MAD011000.gif The fusion between Eastern humanism spirit and urban public spaces pioneers in the making of a sustainable multidimensional city – The Urban Forest will not be a piece of mediocre urban machinery, but an artificial organ that lives and breathes new life in the steel-and-concrete-filled city center. http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/12/dzn_Urban-Forest-by-MAD13.jpg Chongqing, the youngest municipality in China, holds great potential in its urban planning and construction and has the capability to be built into a most livable city, a city of pleasant environments, a traffic-jam-free city, even into a city that runs into a complete urban forest. A city with aspiration and vitality shall be courageous in envisioning and designing its great future. – Bo Xilai (Mayor of Chongqing) http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/12/dzn_Urban-Forest-by-MAD10.jpg In October 2009, The Urban Forest from MAD debuted in the Heart-Made, Europalia exhibition at the 2009 Europalia China. It represents the most challenging dream of the contemporary Chinese architecture — a type of urban landmark that rises from the affection for nature. It is no longer a static icon but an organic form that changes all the time with people’s perception. http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2009/12/dzn_Urban-Forest-by-MAD14.jpg Director in Charge: Ma Yansong, Dang Qun Design Team: Yu Kui, Diego Perez, Zhao Wei, Chie Fuyuki, Fu Changrui, Jtravis B Russett, Dai Pu, Irmgard Reiter, Rasmus Palmqvist, Qin Lichao, Xie Xinyu Location: Chongqing, China Typology: Commercial, Office, Hotel Site Area: 7,700 sqm Building Area: 216,000 sqm Building Height: 385 m Architectural Design: MAD Ltd Structural Design: ARUP Group Ltd – Posted by Rose Etherington http://www.dezeen.com/2009/12/10/urban-forest-by-mad/ SilentStrike December 14th, 2009, 12:43 AM lol MAD have gone mad.. their description wiht this tower is pretty good.

Construction – Foundation works. Architect: Gensler (http://www.gensler.com). Developer: Shanghai Tower Construction and Development. Located at Lujiazui’s Z-32 plot, the Shanghai Tower will become Lujiazui’s third supertall and the tallest structure in China when completed by 2014. The design was chosen from a wide range of proposals including several first tier international architecture firms like KPF, SOM, Foster and RTKL, as well as several national studios such as SIADR. Foster and Gensler became the two finalists in mid-2008 and the final design was released in the fourth quarter of that year. The underground floors should be filled in the first half of 2010. The long-awaited megaproject will culminate the construction of Lujiazui as China Mainland’s largest CBD, whose development started in 1990.

117 floors. Construction – Foundation works. Architect: P&T (www.p-t-group.com ). Developer: Goldin Properties (http://www.goldinppt.com/). Currently Tianjin’s tallest approved supertall, this project will become the main landmark of the newly re-developed Huayuan Industry Park area. The master plan includes tens of residential highrises and two twin towers around 70 floors. The vague appearance of the available renders and the lack of information concerning the architectural layout may indicate that the actual tower is still under design, and therefore will be probably very different from the known images. Ground breaking ceremony took place in December 2007 and the piling works been progressing since early 2009.

Approved. Architect: Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects (www.pcparch.com). Developer: The Wharf Holdings (www.wharfholdings.com). This landmark project will be located at the core of Suzhou East Lake new CBD. Still without an official height, the project is very likely to surpass the 500m mark as it has a big structure over the top floor that should boost the total height far above 500m. However the design is still provisional, meaning that it could be changed again. The originally completion date of 2013 is unlikely to be fulfilled.

Under construction - Foundation works. Architect: Dennis Lau & Ng Chun Man Architects (www.dln.com). Developer: ASE Group (www.asetwn.com.tw/). In 2009 Chongqing’s tallest projects kept revising its heights upwards. Once again, ASE has started the new year as the tallest proposal after ASE’s general manager unveiled during an interview in December 2009 that the top height will be 486m instead of the 468m previously announced. ASE, from Taiwan, is the world’s largest semiconductor company, and has managed to defeat all the real estate titans that competed for the title in the last years. Revision after revision, the project has been raised from just 300m to 486m, and the number of towers has varied along the time. Finally, the height for the secondary highrises has been reduced in favor of the two main skyscrapers. The final project has five towers to be constructed in two phases. The first phase is composed by the towers R1, R2 and R3, all residential. They have 193m, 55 floors; 202m, 58 floors and 235m, 69 floors respectively. The two main towers have 486m, 88 floors and around 330m, 61 floors respectively. The figures for the two big ones may be incorrect as it is unclear whether the crystal structure on the roof is included. ASE may be hiding the total height either as a strategy to guarantee the first position in the height race. After years of ultraslow progress, construction speeded up from mid 2009, completing the podium (a shopping mall) in late 2009, and setting the façade of the R1 tower, topped out for more than 1 year.

Under construction – Ground works. Architect: KPF (www.kpf.com). Developer: Shui On Land (www.shuion.com). This is the main skyscraper of the Chongqing Tiandi masterplan, located at Hualongqiao district. The main project is composed by three towers erecting on a huge podium. The other two have 260m and 198m. The final version was unveiled in January 2008 after dismissing the former layout by SOM, whose height stood at 398m. Since then, both the ASE Center and the Jialing Fanying have revised its heights upwards for many times in order to keep the title of Chongqing’s tallest skyscraper. Both projects were tied at 468m for most of 2009 till ASE announced a new revision to 486m.Since not even the foundation works have been started, further upwards revisions are still possible.

On hold. Architect: ECADI (www.ecadi.com). Developer: Bloomage Group (http://www.bloomagebio-tech.com/). In spite of the countless height revisions, the project formerly known as Marriott Center is the big loser of the height race that has taken place between the main projects in Chongqing for the last years, as it is the only one that will remain below 450m. In the last years, the height was revised from 168m to 276m, 298m, 335m, 339m, 330m, 320m, 357m, 375m, 377m, 398m and finally 431m. Construction work, currently around the 8th floors, has been on hold for several times due to the design changes and needed reconfigurations. Officially under construction once again, it remains unclear whether they will tear the current structure down and restart the whole tower or resuming it from the existing podium. Though the project has remained on hold for many years, resumption related news have been released once and again, and a new schedule is expected to be released anytime within 2010.Project thread (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=186627). http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r5/z0rgg/other/rejected.gif http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc9.jpg (http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc9G.jpg) http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc1.jpg (http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc1G.jpg) http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc2.jpg (http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc2G.jpg) http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc3.jpg (http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc3G.jpg) http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc4.jpg (http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc4G.jpg) http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc5.jpg (http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc5G.jpg) http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc6.jpg (http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc6G.jpg) http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc7.jpg (http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/z0rggg/mc7G.jpg) http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r5/z0rgg/other/final.gif http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/update%20supertalls%202/cqifc4p.jpg (http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/update%20supertalls%202/cqifc4.jpg) http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/update%20supertalls%202/cqfc3p.jpg (http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/update%20supertalls%202/cqfc3.jpg) http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/update%20supertalls%202/cqfc12p.jpg (http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg64/z0rgggg/update%20supertalls%202/cqfc12.jpg) CHONGQING | Financial Street Project | 430m, 81 floors.

Remember this is for buildings only, not including TV towers and other structures. The date is for Jan 1st each year. OVERVIEW. Projects by status. Built 2008: 12 2009: 16 2010: 19 Under construction. Not including ground works here, only structural/actual construction. 2008: 10 2009: 21 2010: 24 Preparing works. Digging, etc. 2008: 23 2009: 23 2010: 16 Approved. The project has been approved and normally we already know the final design and often the ground breaking ceremony has been celebrated already, but the plot still has no activity for any reason. Construction approval pending, project still under design despite of being approved, newly approved projects, projects under redesign, the developer is busy with other projects elsewhere, they are constructin other towers within the same project, etc. 2008: 22 2009: 41 2010: 54 Proposed 2008: 27 2009: 34 2010: 35 Concept/ long term proposals. Basically reserved plots for supertalls that haven't been purchased by any developer. Sometimes because even the district itself has just been released.

We better forget about them. 1: Nanjing Lu Supertall (Tianjin), 550m+. The plot merged with the 300m Union Plaza. Now the new Union Plaza project has a tower of 488m (former NJL plot) and another around 250m (the former Union Plaza itself). 2: Yangtze Star (Nanjing), 510m. Too vague to be included as a feasible project. Maybe they'll launch it more seriously in the future. 3: Dynasty 123 (Xiamen), 500m+. Stale proposal by a tiny developer. Too unfeasible. 4: Jinling Fuguang (Nanjing), 430m. Stale proposal. Actually I think that Suning Group's Xinjiekou Plaza could be at the same plot as this old proposal. 5: Feng Long Center (Shenzhen), 400m~. Stale proposal. Maybe it will be re launched. 6: Ranjiaba tower (Chongqing), 400m~. Stale proposal and too vague. 7: Ritz-Carlton Project (Tianjin), 385m. Stale proposal, might be relaunched. 8, 9: Shenyang Oriental International Plaza (Shenyang), 2x380m. Rejected proposal. They are building a 150m~ project instead. 10: Yan Zhao Tower (Tianjin), 378m. Stale proposal, dead project. 11: IBT Tower (Shenyang), 377m. Stale proposal, the developer will build midrises instead. 12: Dahutong IBC (Tianjin), 368m. Stale proposal. Likely to be relaunched. 13: The Torch (Yibin), 365m. Stale proposal. 14: Xi Shui Dong Project (Wuxi), 350m+. The final version has only 280m. 15: Chen Tower (Taipei), 335m. Stale proposal. 16: Foshan R&F Project (Foshan), 300m+. Stale proposal. 17: World Wine City (Yantai), 300m+. Cancelled by the developer. 18: Kaiyuen Group Project (Hangzhou), 300m+. Stale proposal, might be relaunched. 19: Moi City (Chongqing), 300m+. Stale proposal. Likely to be relaunched. 20, 21: Botefeinouo Towers (Hangzhou), 2x300m+. Stale proposal. They may be approved in the future, but anyway they are unlikely to top 300m. 22: Newport Towers (Chongqing), 300m+. Stale proposal, dead. 23: Yiwu WTC (Yiwu), 300m+. Stale proposal and too vague either. 24: Dalian Eton Center 2 (Dalian), 300m+. Didn't reach 300m once the actual height was released. 25: Honqgiao Twin Towers (Tianjin), 300m+. They are planning only 1 tower it seems. 26: Xi'an CBD Masterplan (Xi'an), 300m+. Stale proposal. Too vague and too concept. 27: Fuzhou Simao Tower (Fuzhou), 300m. Revised downwards. 28, 29, 30: South Station Cluster (Tianjin), 3x300m~. The final project will have one supertall instead of four. 31: Harbin North WTC (Harbin), 300m~. Stale proposal. 32: Yantian Center (Shenzhen), 300m~. Stale proposal. 33: CBD Masterplan (Qinhuangdao), 300m~. Stale proposal, too unlikely. 34: OTC Securities Plaza, aka Jin Wan Center (Tianjin), 300m~. Didn't reach 300m when the height was released. However they may add more towers in the future, but it is too unclear. 35, 36: Xinghe Group Project (Shenzhen), 2x300m~. Stale proposal.

Cristobal_illo January 21st, 2010, 12:30 AM In the coming days I'll add Google Earth links to every project whose location I can find (80%+ of them) and some additional lists with a summary of the projects released in 2009, upcoming projects we expect for 2010, etc. I have added more than 50 projects to the main list in 2009, that's 1 supertall a week. On the other hand I had to delete around 30 for different reasons. More details tomorrow night. ^^I'm doing the same thing with Google Earth. All the towers, masterplans, project, CBDs, etc. that you post in this thread, I make a placemark for each one. BTW, I have many projects that doesn't have an exactly location. Not just the Chinese supertalls, I mean all the supertalls around the world, with a few Skyscrapers and Highrises... But for now, I be waiting for that Google Earth KML file that you'll post...

The Hexi CBD is often regarded as the “Pudong” of Nanjing, in part due to the strong desire on the part of the government to have it become a financial district. This World Trade Center project has been authorized and licensed by the Word Trade Center Association to become the Nanjing World Trade Center. The chosen location is already home to many high-rise office buildings, a park and one of the largest convention centers in China. The project is scheduled to break ground in 2010 and be completed by 2015. The proposed premium mixed-use development encompasses an area of approximately 327,000 square meters (~3.5 million square feet), consisting of a 125,000 square meter Class A office tower, a 61,000 square meter high-end serviced apartment, a 70,000 square meter retail center, an 18,000 square meter five-star hotel, and a 53,000 square meter mid-end hotel.

Still too few details to opening a thread imo. http://news.dichan.sina.com.cn/2010/02/01/118423.html ^^ OMG damn it, i saw this yesterday, was going to post it but didn't because there was just one rendering :lol: This project have encountered some problems. The oppositions (mainly the residents who lived there) complains that the area that 103Tower supposedly to be built on are quite new while those people don't live there support building it (http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=666911142). Many of the residential buildings are somewhat newly built in the sense that it haven't reach 10 years old and not to mention a expensively built school stationed there. Although most residents haven't paid of all of their mortgage debts, they are pretty much determine to stay. I would find it hard for officials to demolished the whole area. Fuzhou is getting like 2 new CBD including this one. Hopefully they can hire a good city planner because this city is messy (in a way) due to lack of careful planning i guess. Heres the area where they will build 103 tower. http://zt.ffw.com.cn/fz/xf/2009/11/17tj/images/ditud.jpg Joel que February 4th, 2010, 05:50 AM beijing wanted skyscraper,anew? where's the logic?Beijing right now has alot empty office building, supply outstrip the demand.according to a NYT, that Beijing has higher unoccupy office building than NY city. Myster E February 4th, 2010, 09:45 AM ^^ What? More trashy articles from an American paper which imo has no credibility at all. z0rg February 4th, 2010, 02:00 PM Actually the vacancy rate of A grade offices in Beijing has remained stable around 15-18% for the last 7 years despite of the countless projects that they have completed. Even in 2009 the market had a huge net absorption of office space. Is this rate too high anyway? Not for a booming economy, they need a large stock otherwise they could have bottlenecks like Shanghai had in 2008, when the vacancy rate reached less than 1%. In Beijing there's a lag of about 6-7 quarters only till the current available office space is absorbed by the market, i.e., the occupied office area area in the fourth quarter of 2009 exceeded the total available office space of fourth quarter of 2007. You can check all these facts reading the reports published by Colliers. I can't understand what the media pretends with those fake articles. That HK private owned developers are wasting billions in projects that will remain empty for decades? Ah, journalists, always publishing lies! Ewan117 February 6th, 2010, 02:04 AM I think the investors in China know what they are doing. If the vacancy rate is high, then it would have been on hold. z0rg February 7th, 2010, 12:16 AM CHONGQING | Sun Valley Tianhe Tower | 450m~, 95~ floors. Construction – Ground works. Developer: Yingli Properties. Tough it was released in 2008, very few details have been unveiled about this large multi-tower development as not even the architect , the height or the final proposal have been announced. The masterplan has another 4 big towers, being 3 of them clearly above 200m. The second tallest tower is known to have 288m. Ground clearing works are taking place at a very decent speed at the location of the main tower. Newly released renders indicate that the height could be just slightly above 300m.

Developer: The Wharf Holdings (www.wharfholdings.com). This landmark project will be located at the core of Suzhou East Lake new CBD. Still without an official height, the project is very likely to surpass the 500m mark as it has a big structure over the top floor that should boost the total height far above 500m. However the design is still provisional, meaning that it could be changed again. The originally completion date of 2013 is unlikely to be fulfilled.

I totally understand how the Chinese are completely fed up with it. In any case, it is only the developers' problem that they over-estimated the de facto huge under-supply of office space in Beijing prior to the Olympics. The city had something like the equivalent of three Manhattans of office space u/c simultaneously prior to the Olympics. I'm surprised not more buildings are having problems finding tenants. But again, it is the (Chinese and foreign) developers' problems. On another note, the recently finished 1IFC in Shanghai was over 90% leased even prior to its completion back in November 2009-- so things are looking healthy elsewhere in China. Most mid-tier cities are still suffering from a serious under-supply of office space. z0rg March 7th, 2010, 09:19 PM its freaking crazy how vournerable chinese people seem to be to any kinds of criticism. seriously, get a grip. youre behaving like a fool.

How many times has the real-state bubble burst in Shanghai since 1997? two times? three times? In the meantime the Chinese economy has grown by 400% I remember reading real-state prices had fallen by 30% in some Chinese cities in 2008-early 2009, so what? No one is denying real-state prices get a bit excessive from time to time. its freaking crazy how vournerable chinese people seem to be to any kinds of criticism. seriously, get a grip. youre behaving like a fool.

No the closest to what you have suggested is a 680 mt proposal in a place quite near to guangzhou called Zhuhai .Which is 680 mts. The tallest discussion till now in guangzhou is 545 mts which is the east tower.
