Shanghai - Shanghai Center

nobody@flickr.com (cnmark) — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 06:32:35 -0700

cnmark posted a photo:

The Shanghai Center (上海中心) will be the tallest building in Shanghai (projected 632.0 m) once construction is completed in 2014. It will then also be the World's first group of three supertalls together. The Shanghai Center is designed by the American architectural firm Gensler.

That's a night shot of the current top, the works go on 24/7 without any break. Taken from Lujiazui Ring Road. See where this picture was taken.. [?]

That's a night shot of the current top, the tips of the crane jibs appear to already reach the height of the neighbouring Jin Mao Tower (421m).

Hong Kong - International Commerce Centre

nobody@flickr.com (cnmark) — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 20:06:52 -0800

cnmark posted a photo:

The International Commerce Centre is Hong Kong's tallest building with 482m height though construction has not completely been finished at the time the shot was taken. This tower does form a "gateway" for Victoria Harbour with Two International Finance Centre (2IFC) at the opposite side of the harbour. It's not yet as impressive illuminated as 2IFC.

Architects: Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates PC; Wong & Ouyang (HK) Ltd.

Info: The final design of this tower was made in 2001 after more than four design proposal changes. The original World's Tallest design (574m with a pyramidal top) was changed, and the new design is by KPF.

A 7-star hotel with 300 rooms will be located near the top portion of the tower on 13 floors. It will also include convention and conference facilities. The 7-star hotel will be the highest elevated hotel in the world, surpassing the Hyatt in Shanghai's Jin Mao Tower.
