>> Xiao Bai Lou Union Plaza

Tianjin Haihe Investment - Tianjin, China

Within Tianjin’s major business center, the Xiao Bai Lou Union Plaza project represents progressive development in the city and symbolizes Xiao Bai Lou Union Plaza as a respected, world-class project. Rivaling New York City in sophistication, this project will represent Tianjin’s 21st century global outlook, its commitment to quality, and its principles of return on investment. But most importantly, it reflects Xiao Bai Lou Union Plaza’s deep sense of commitment to further enhancing the quality of life for the citizens of Tianjin.

Program Overview

The Xiao Bai Lou Union Plaza Project will be the premier development in Tianjin. The facility is comprised of three main components:

- 73-story Office tower with retail center and below-grade parking for 1300 cars.

- 700-room 5 Star hotel with below-grade parking.

- Urban Park with 1500 car parking facility below.

I like it although its not a very complicated design. Will it be close to China 117 Tower? They may form a nice cluster together.

***z0rg*** · May 6th, 2008, 03:47 PM

No, China 117 Tower is on the outskirts, but it is next to Tianjin ITC and the monster concept proposal at Nanjing Lu.

Nice design!!!

buildmilehightower · August 22nd, 2008, 11:45 PM

Tianjin is becoming very developed with the skyscrapers, so many getting proposed in tianjin, but this design looks like PS3 console LOL, like it.

potipoti · August 23rd, 2008, 11:13 PM

it's incredible what they are doing there... good work!!!

XiaoBai · August 24th, 2008, 04:02 AM

It's about time they start naming buildings after me!

Northern Lotus · August 24th, 2008, 04:17 AM

Very elegant. It sure does not 'live up' to its Chinese name, "little white building". Definitely not 'little'.

NEWUSER · August 25th, 2008, 08:38 AM

Simple and elegant. I'm sure the lighting system will play a factor.

gwool1sc · January 10th, 2009, 12:51 PM

The scale models which light up are my favourite on the whole site, I absolutely love them. Wish I bilt models like that to such precise scale and perfection. Check out my models please guys, go to creative corner, scale models, Greg's model, and please let me know what you think, especially the night shots...........In the meantime, I'll continue DROOLING over these pictures...................

skyperu34 · May 20th, 2009, 07:45 PM

A great design without escaping from simplicity ! Nice job !

***z0rg*** · November 20th, 2009, 09:58 PM

Possible new design. 108~ floors. The tower with the sloping roof on the left has 200m, so the new design should be taller than 500m. Hope we can confirm this.

SirAdrian · November 21st, 2009, 12:47 AM

That's a great design. The building looks very "open" in that evening render, a nice workplace i imagine.

Myster E · November 21st, 2009, 02:46 AM

wow, better than the original. I almost sighed when I saw the original replaced but this is better!

deepblue01 · November 21st, 2009, 03:19 AM

looks really good, do you know where abouts in tianjin will they build this? I hope they could have used a design like this one for the east tower in gz

Clashman · November 21st, 2009, 06:09 AM

It is in downtown Tianjin, next to the Renaissance Hotel.

***kanye*** · November 21st, 2009, 10:39 AM

wow this is really nice! I hope it's the final one.

***z0rg*** · November 21st, 2009, 03:33 PM

The new design has 488m/1600 feet. Designed by César Pelli studio
http://www.pcparch.com/#/projects/of...1/description/

The design of this 1,600 foot tall tower was shaped by the city’s recent history. As an important port in Northern China, the city was strongly affected by western influences in the last 150 years. This contributed to the great diversity in the culture and high level of sophistication only a few port cities in China shared.

The tower subtly illustrates the confluence and interrelationships between these various influences. Starting at the hexagonal base, this beautiful form has a strong directional twist. To counteract the arbitrary direction two towers twisted in opposite directions. The result shows exceptional beauty and grace. The 12 sweeping arcs intersect at 3 points along the height of the tower
