武汉葛洲坝国际广场效果图。

　　汉网消息 1958年3月30日，毛泽东主席视察长江三峡，勾画出“高峡出平湖”，葛洲坝集团的前身——三三O工程局也由此得名；50年后的昨日，武汉
葛洲坝国际广场动工开建，“广场不仅将刷新武汉楼宇最高纪录，还将掀开葛洲坝集团新的历史篇章”。

　　武汉葛洲坝国际广场选址于江汉区航侧村。设计者透露，该广场主楼高69层、约350米，各项设计均超过民生大厦，有望成为“华中第一高楼”。

　　此前，位于汉口新华路的民生银行大厦共68层，主体加上塔盖、避雷针天线，楼高336米，被誉为“武汉第一高楼”。

　　开工典礼上，中国葛洲坝集团董事长杨继学透露，葛洲坝国际广场建成后，葛洲坝集团总部将入驻广场主楼。这也意味着届时该集团正式迁移武汉。

looks taller than 350m on the renders :), but great design!

i think the first design is the best, congratulations for Wuhan!!

Looks pretty good, although I kinda liked the second rejected design a bit better.

Amazing rederes :banana::banana:

Impressive design :)

Wuhan gets a second supertall building constructed and it's this one. However, little is known about this project at the moment.

looks taller than 350m on the renders :), but great design!

yeah more like 400m~

Interesting design. Both rejected designs look also good... And definitely looks taller than 350m on the renders, very slim. :)

most tall building in China,included a shopping mall,sadly,according to Chinese newspaper ,half of shopping mall are either thinly occupied or worse empty.unless shopping mall is strategic located .like Nanjing road in Shanghai.

Very immpressive ! I also think render shows a 400-meter or higher proposal !

the proyect is asome!

looks good, any picture of the construction site at the moment?

Why changed 350m?? Not 400m??

^^ looks awesome!! finally Wuhan is building a skyline.

Why changed 350m?? Not 400m??

Haha, the 400m one is another project in Wuhan. Wuhan has 3 approved supertalls now, plus a 90-floor tower coming.

This one is likely to be the final design, they said. 355m, 69 floors.

Similar to the WFC in Shanghai!

Looks like Shanghai WFC just merged with Hongkong ICC...hehe

I think it looks like the North Asia Trade Centre in Korea

^ I like the shape of it.

All of the new designs are bland and just plain old, fuckin' digusting. They should build the twisty one.

uhh i disagree.
I wish they built the 80 floor one with the box sticking out on top. but i guess that has 0% chance.

twisty one looks good but also the tall triangular one.
As long as there are other supertalls surrounding it that one will look outstanding

^^
Okay, the one with the box sticking out is pretty interesting, but the triangular one is just soo unoriginal. Just nasty.

it's rising!!

Just a decade back people use to be at awe coz someone built a 200 mt vertical cubiod and use to look at with with unfettered amazement .Now somebody builds a 350 mt building which curves in a rather odd manner yet we have tons of guys complaining for its unoriginality what about all the cubiods my friends.

I think this is an indication of how much has China influenced the standards of world architecture

Jul. 27th by qrx12340 nothing happened```:(

http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac21/wlager/new/f199b76b.jpg

I don't think the main tower is U/C ····

but some pics will be great~！:)

you may be right, I'm not sure that the main tower has started. There is however a lot of activity going on, I will try to get a few pics this week.

it would be really apprechiated :) cant wait to see how its doing since we hadnt much information on this building yet

As promised, here are some small poor quality cellphone pics:ohno: The buildings in the picture are the residential part of this project. I didn't have a chance to get to the site of the main tower since I was with my class, but I have heard through the local grapevine that it's on hold but WILL eventually get built. I guess we all need to keep our fingers crossed!

only time will tell and still thanks to the photos, it's the best you could do and we apprechiate it :)

LOL, any chance to get an update in here? :)

UC and no updates in 8 months?

I've found they haven't started the main tower, they're busy with the residential towers.

Check the render
http://pic.qnpic.com:83/r.jsp?fn=//fanjoin/share/2011/4/20/0021.jpg

i cannot see any water on the render. where is it supposed to be? behind the three skyscrapers in the gap, large open area behind it? are this the lighed up buildings on the right side of the render? or the ones behind it?

I am not sure of the exact location either. The location Cristobal gave a link for earlier does not seem right.

^^Here you have...
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=30.61208,114.253805&spn=0.002479,0.005493&z=18

Figured it out, it's just a bit south of the location given in that link.

Here - http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/maps/?cityID=1007&lat=30.6069930000&lng=114.2607190000&z=17&t=k

And the residential towers U/C photographed above aren't the one's shown in the renderings.

looking at the map all supertalls will be spread around the city. although wuhan will have 4 supertalls at least in the future it wont be a cluster of those and maybe not be possible to see more than 2 buildings in one skyline picture

Yes. Wuhan is getting the most decentralised skyline ever. Wangjiadun is likely to get several supertalls though.

The link of the previous satellite imagery of Google Earth that I post it's now outdated. I didn't realised that was updated. I used the photos that zOrg post some time ago of the construction site, and was the only reference that I had in that time. Apparently I pointed out the site of the residential towers.

Hey no worries! I've been trying to track down the exact location of this tower for probably a year now.
