I'm surprised there's no thread on this tower yet I couldn't find any update.

So I post those renderings (from skyscraper.cn) under the assumption that it is under construction now.

ZZ-II · May 10th, 2007, 08:25 PM

wow, wonderful design. i love it!

Building · May 10th, 2007, 09:04 PM

oh my god! Wonderful!!!!!

Not much to complain about on that design. A landmarkdevelopement should stand out and this design does so in a good way.

Insane alex · May 10th, 2007, 09:16 PM

Very nice tower!

***z0rg*** · May 10th, 2007, 09:28 PM

Construction hasn't start yet I think...

This is a concept model of the coming Suzhou CBD

foadi · May 10th, 2007, 09:30 PM

looks nice, z0rg

I like the design alot, it's very unique, and somewhat futuristic.

It will be a great tower(s) when finished I'm sure of it.

^ Once the area is built up it will truly live up to its moniker. Very unique indeed

AM Putra · May 11th, 2007, 09:02 AM

It's something like a pant?

Middle-Island · May 12th, 2007, 02:13 AM

Pants...

Ubora Tower will be a "pant"

giovani kun · May 12th, 2007, 02:30 PM

Mosaic · May 14th, 2007, 09:33 AM

Nongkhai_tong · May 14th, 2007, 11:07 AM

Nice render & great design.

Scottnufc · May 14th, 2007, 12:02 PM

haha u could put a shirt and head shaped building on top of that and it would look good on top of these trousers, at least they were creative.

Middle-Island · May 15th, 2007, 07:39 AM

SSP diagram has had this up for two years (completed 2007). Little did I know it's still a hole in the ground. What a gorgeous building...eventually.

I hope James Bond will be running on the top of this building in his next 007 movie!
