New tallest in Zhengzhou!

November 26th, 2006 by mago

  Formerly known as New Zhengzhou Hotel, the Greenland Square skyscraper
  is now under construction. Unfortunately were the height lowered from
  astaggering 368 m (1207 ft) to a disappointing 280 m or 918 ft but considering
  city with hardely any skyscraper traditions at all (three towers over
  100 m, 325 ft)it’s more then good and to me the design is classy!

But China likes to surprise!

November 11th, 2006 by mago

 New York? No Chongqing! China’s third largest city with over twelve
  million inhabitants(thirty two million if you count the whole municipality!)looks
  like NYC:s younger brother, younger in terms of skyscrapers at least.
  And stumbling across a building like this…

…almost make the NYC illusion complete (Empire State Building anyone?)
  Anyhow, Chongqing is a real boom town, the city is scattered with skyscrapers
  and it’s density is only beaten by Brasilian cities. For anyone interested
  here is where it’s located at(don’t worry I will soon get to the skyscraper-kind-a-point):

  So, what’s going down in Chongqing? Alot! Over thirty skyscrapers is
  currently under construction(as of Feb 15 2007) and two of them qualifies
  as 300 + buildings(985 ft). The Chuanjiang Fanying is almost climbing
  the 400 level with it’s 398 m (1306 ft) and upon completion will it
  take over the tallest title in Chongqing by surpassing current tallest
  Chongqing World Trade Center by 115 m(377 ft). Unfortunately I can’t
  find any images of this tower as the Chinese tend to be quite mysterious
  about their projects but according to many good resources such as Emporis
  has it already climbed 20 floors!

  Fast Facts:

  Chuanjiang Fanying

  Height: 398 m (1,306 ft)
