“UNDER CONSTRUCTION SINCE 2017, THE GREENLAND INT’L FINANCE CENTER WILL BECOME THE TALLEST TOWER AT ALMOST 500 METERS, ONCE COMPLETED, SURPASSING NANJING’S ZIFENG TOWER, ALSO DESIGNED BY SOM.”

Inspired by the city’s rich history, famous for its key architectural features, such as walls, gates, bridges, and fortresses, the arch-shaped structure “combines several inter-supportive systems. These systems can effectively resist gravity and side force”.

In addition, the tower takes on a square shape, representing “the city of stone”, whose culture is deeply rooted in its architecture. On the other hand, situated in a seismic zone, the building’s resistance system includes a reinforced concrete core.
