I don't understand why people do that?

we'll see... anyways it will be taller than Kingkey100.

I don't understand why people do that?

Because those forums are trollcracies. Normally they don't even post sources for any info, you always have to check in Google. No height for a new project? It doesn't matter, they'll normally invent one.

2 years ago they posted that the Shanghai Tower would top 800m. They claimed they talked to the architects, blablabla, and a lot of people believed it.

They faked a whole article from the People's Dailiy claiming that Shanghai was planning a new 500m+ tower in Puxi, the article was created by a forumer and a lot of people believed it too.

Like 3 years ago West Tower was supposed to be revised upwards to 500m+.

Etc, etc, etc.

Can't you register there and tell them that? It's voor their own's sake. I can understand that it's very annoying.

2011 was amazing supertall year (lol) - 3 supertall buildings in China were finished. Would anyone tell me please if there is some 300m + project in China for 2012?? :-)

^^ Tons, dozens, to much to count almost. China is going crazy.

These are sick photos. Just wow!

design looks stunning

SOM Chicago wins competition to design the Wujiang Greenland Tower

The Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) has announced their victory in an international competition to design the Greenland Group Suzhou Center in Wujiang, China. The 358-meter tower’s efficient split-core configuration demands a double-take, as the “curved, tapered form unifies the office, hotel and residential uses within a single volume.” More on ArchDaily (http://www.archdaily.com/201179/som-chicago-wins-competition-to-design-the-wujiang-greenland-tower/).

That is one sexy design.

Where is Wujiang

^^Just south of Suzhou.

Where is Wujiang

Wujiang is one of the small tigers in Suzhou allow me to quote this saying from Oliver999. :lol: It's a subdivision of Suzhou like Oliver999's hometown Zhangjiagang. :cheers:

Oh, thank you, I forgot, in fact I've ever been there, tongli village is in wujiang, right?
I just took it as a part of Suzhou, never meant to take it as a city

Do we have an official thread for that tower? :nuts:

I don't think so, there is a height restriction in Changsha due a major Air Force base near by. (Su-30MKKs for you plane spotters) Since they do buzz the city once in a while (bombing practice?), the height restriction is there for safety reason. So unless the Air Force decides to move or changes their training routine, no supertalls in Changsha.

Interesting information. If ever there would be related supertall projects and other high-rises, are there allotted areas of the city and Metro Changsha for such developments?

THE second phase of The Springs, a US$2.5 billion mixed-use development by Tishman Speyer, started construction today in Shanghai's northeast Yangpu District.

Consisting of nine office buildings and a convention center with a total buildable space of more than 194,000 square meters, the second phase is scheduled to complete by the first quarter of 2015, according to Tishman, a New York-based real estate owner, developer, operator and manager.

Launched in June 2011, The Springs, a three-phase development with a combined buildable space of more than 900,000 square meters, is Tishman's largest project in China. It mainly includes residential, office and retail spaces as well as entertainment facilities.

The first phase, comprising about 160,000 square meters of residential units and some retail space, is set to complete in 2014.

Tishman's Chinese mainland portfolio also includes the Fifth Avenue commercial development in Tianjin and The Atrium, a mixed-use project in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. http://www.shanghaidaily.com/nsp/Business/2012/05/16/Construction%2Bstarts%2Bon%2Bphase%2B2%2Bof%2BThe%2BSprings/

Supertall? I suppose it's something to do :baaa:
