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.

Supertall? I suppose it's something to do

Question for longer term posters:

Has this master list, at the beginning of the thread, shrunk or gown with time?

It is now 248 items. More last year? Fewer?

[BarbaricManchurian]

It has definitely grown. I remember when it was at only 100 supertalls, the increase has been explosive every year since (but has slowed down recently)

[z0rg]

Actually it hasn't. Remember I removed the long term/concept proposals, that's why it "slowed". Now it must be around 300-350 towers, up to 400 if we include long term stuff. Maybe I'll update everything this Summer.

A lot of architectural designs in Mainland Chinese supertalls are designed by Western or non-Chinese Asian design firm, but we are now seeing local architectural talents these past few years in various projects.
