Though this one is still a very preliminary proposal, I think it deserves a thread since it's called to become a new China's tallest.

^^ I agrre, but it is also way too tall for this area. Totally disproportional.
haha....there's no such thing as too tall on this forum! :D

I want to see this project go forward. I've haven't been to Wuhan yet, from what I've heard it's a very nice city.
If they do something with the top of this, it could become a real stunner.

That would be a cool design for a 700m tower :). Just imagine floors at arround 700m and an open space OB-Deck above :drool:

Something like the top of the old version of Goldin 117 maybe?

The tall slim pyramid design shown in the first few pages does not look good.
So weird, did a school study abroad project on this site a few years ago. Wonder if it will be totally redeveloped from what i saw.
The Wuhan government are trying to sell the site to the highest bidders now,this project might move forward faster than we think.

greenland please.....!
Since the concept tower was already above 700m, this one has real potential and the developers will know about the other megatall rising, so if they want the tallest in the city, it must be megatall :cheers:
^^New renders and description from SOM^^
Now titelt as "The Wuhan Jiang’an Riverfront Business District"
Looks Incredible awseome:)

Project Facts
Location: Wuhan, China
Design Completion: 2011
Site Area: 83.60 hectares
Project Area: 2,600,000 m2
Market: Master Plan, Mixed Use
Service: Architecture, Structural + Civil Engineering, Urban Design + Planning

The Wuhan Jiang’an Riverfront Business District master plan establishes an expanded vision for sustainable development along the Yangtze River. Situated on a former railyard and factory site in Wuhan, China, the brownfield redevelopment incorporates industrial heritage and historic monuments into a reimagined urban fabric, most notably a nod to the historic railway worker’s uprising in 1923 that led to the formation of China’s dominant political party today.

The completion of the development’s landmark building — dubbed the Erqi or 2-7 Tower — could be timed to coincide with the 100-year anniversary of that watershed moment. In addition to recalling local history, the project will also offer a mixed-use, transit-oriented approach to urban redevelopment in China.

Wait until completion hopefully it gets started pre 2020
To me it looks like the Kingdom tower but with more class and sophistication. Now that's how you build a megatall ... I mean I wish this one was 1000m+ :cheers:
