Thanks to Zorg from SSC for compiling the pictures and info.



This looks like a great addition to the Jing An district. Another plus is that's it's going up 4 blocks from my place. I'll keep y'all informed.

I'm clearly confused here. A really tall parapet or literally a 'snake' shape? I don't see a roof in any of the renderings?

Cool.

The base looks like the old twin towers (isn't there another bldg in China that does that?)

Doesn't look like Pudong in the background.

Hoodrat: The China World Trade Center in Beijing is the one you are thinking of, that eerily looks like the NYC WTC especially at the bottom.

That does not look like Pudong in the background of the rendering.

Great !
If it really has 59 office floors, its height should be well over 220m.

2 years over here and you still didn't realize that so many renders don't show the actual surroundings?

The render seems a little conceptual anyway, no roofs. I bet it wont look like that, it should have some roof after all!

It's located in Puxi, not Pudong. It's going to fill one of the last remaining open sites in the Central Jing An Business District. I'm really excited to see what the CJABD will look like once all the dust settles.

It will definitely be the second largest skyline cluster in the city, after LuJiaZui.
