A lot of these proposals are around 300m, are developers consciously trying to be just over the supertall mark or is it just something they feel they need built?

At least Shenzhen is already dense and builds IN the city instead of new areas somewhere outside. So new buildings have to go up, I guess they don't want to pay unnecessary for ground area.

not really outside of the city, but quite far away from the former highrise center still. Shenzhen has the adventage of having prime locations with lots of space still. so after another decade Nanshan to the current center of skyline with Kingkey will be one big ocean of waves with highrises and supertalls. A lot of chinese cities try to build new CBDs abit outside and then connect the whole city, Shenzhen seems to be a lot more spread out, not in terms of distance, but in terms of really few, really tall buildings create one little center, and a lot of these centers create the image of a megacity.

It is definateley not easy to define the borders of these cities. On some pics I am not sure if the towers I see are in the concerning cities or in a neighbouring city.

Well, its location is pretty near to (future) Qianhai CBD, so I don't think it's gonna be too lonely.

What is the baishizhou stuff in your screenshot?

Scion · January 30th, 2013, 05:17 PM

It's LVGEM's redevelopment of the Baishizhou cluster. The main tower will be 500m+ plus several 300m+ and 200m+

Jesus Christ, this 白石 triple tower looks so damn amazing. i think the second white line indicates 300m, but Ping'An seems to be a bit wrong scaled on there. well the triple tower seems to be far over 500m anyways.
