The eventual depth of the raft slab is starting to become apparent.

you dont know anything about china. The big four of china, which are shanghai, beijing, shenzhen, and guangzhou are like the worlds biggest city today. there are great need for office space and none of their buildings have an empty rate of over 10%. most large and medium companies can afford the office in these buildings. dont think china today like ten years ago. you can never imagine how fast it grows

These I got from liftok.com site. Once again they surprised me with the inside information they have. So here we go:




Towers Location Map:






Towers sections. It seems this tower will be purely office (except observation deck) which is nice imo.






The podium and Mall. This is obviously with the new cladding scheme and I think everybody against this project will change their mind after seeing this. Looks really nice imo.






Office interiors:








Observation Deck. And what a OD it is! Truly I think one of the most epic I ever seen. Surely it will be great experience to eat there with the great views outside, and great design inside:






Floor plans:






Structure. As said many times the tower will have the structure very similar to this of Shanghai Tower with large core, supercolumns and trusses included:
















Lateral Performance Analysis of the structure:






Supercolumns. Pretty much the same solution of burying columns with concrete as seen on Shanghai Tower:






Truss Details:








That would be all for now

Look very closely at the top right image on staff's post. The closeup of the tower's site on that drawing clearly shows 538 meters, not 588! I sure hope they didn't shorten this one!

Don't worry!

538m is the height of the top floor observation deck.

This is the only tower from China I'd like to see being build here in New York. It would fit in perfectly.

The Eurozone is on the brink of collapse, and so is the US. Do you really think China is immune?

All good things must come to an end, my friend. And this is not any anti-China BS coming from me.

I would be amazed if even half of the current proposed/site prep supertalls in NYC are built anytime soon. Which is unfortunate, because I like Ping-An and I like the Hudson Yards towers in NYC.

That is my one and only comment on that topic.

Chicago will probably end up building some 2000 footer during the next boom - whenever that is. NYC and Chicago just love to go back and forth with the height title, so it's the next logical step for Chicago.

I wish more buildings in the US were built with a crown and spire like this. Once upon a time, we cranked out gems like the Empire State and the Chrysler. Not that I don't love the buildings that get built today, but those were like altars to commerce, capitalism and prosperity. I don't feel the same reach to the skyscraper heavens in the buildings of the 21st Century.

Kudos Shenzhen.
