Shanghai Tower, Tallest Building in China Breaks Ground

Shanghai Center project will be started since Nov. 29, 2008. It is proposed to be the tallest building of China after it finished.

Shanghai Tower will be a 632-meter, super-tall tower sited in the heart of Shanghai’s Luijiazui

As the newest icon on the Shanghai skyline, Shanghai Tower’s distinctive transparent spiral form
will showcase cutting-edge sustainable strategies and public spaces that wrap its perimeter from
crown to base.
