^ From where you live, can you see it under-construction?

Am I the only one who was surprised to see that this is no longer a twin tower?

I do like the new design though. It'll just take a while to get used to not seeing the first tower's twin as in the earlier renderings.

A twin would look much better. The West Tower is a nice tower, but that one? Don't know....

I really dislike this building, not much character for a supertall, I lose a little respect for Guangzhou everytime I see this thing

JACKinBeantown · #26 Posted: **Aug 27, 2010, 4:13 AM**

I apologize for this, but every time I see the name of this building I get the song "Werewolves of London" stuck in my head.

On a related note, this building will be pretty cool. Not my favorite design, but definitely acceptable. It's hard to tell from the photos... have they reached bedrock? It seems as though they're getting ready to pour foundation on the core.

I think it would be better if the tower would be the same!

Agreed;

This design is much less inspired and more bland; it would have been much more harmonious to use the twin design.

ugh, this tower in this current design just ruins that region of the skyline, being the tallest.

Preety Awesome

SkyscrapersOfNewYork · #32 Posted: **Oct 15, 2010, 5:39 AM**

im taking a trip to Guangzhou in 2012,how tall will it be by July of that year?

hellrazor650 · #33 Posted: **Nov 19, 2010, 7:05 AM**

typical, i can see the workers live on site. they probably also get enough sleep and good health care right?

Infernal_Elf · #34 Posted: **Dec 15, 2010, 9:25 AM**

Hopefully China must be getting some Labor organizations and such for construction workers with some power by now.

OneWorldTradeCenter · #35 Posted: **Jan 6, 2011, 2:46 PM**

On-hold??

This project appears to sustain much troubled progress for a city which appears so very hot with investment. Hopefully construction continues presently.

The design of the tower is certainly handsome and strong. Yet, even when (and even if) completed, there will always exist questions of doubt and possibly even regret: "What if this had been a twin tower? Or perhaps a taller twin?"

Travis007 · #37 Posted: **Jul 5, 2011, 3:30 AM**

Guangzhou sure has changed a lot since my last visit in 2006!

scalziand · #38 Posted: **Aug 6, 2011, 5:05 PM**

It's back!

Guangzhou's East Tower, destined to be one of Zhujiang New Town's modern landmarks, recently began above ground construction, and officials estimate that it will be completed in March of 2015.

The complex has undergone 22 months of subterranean construction. With an ultimate height of 530 meters it will be the tallest building in Southern China. Its twin, or at least fraternal twin, the 432-meter high Guangzhou International Financial Center nicknamed "West Tower," became operable this year.

The total investment of East Tower will reach 10 billion RMB, while the West Tower cost 6 billion. This means that estimations of leasing prices expect the East Tower to steal the crown for exorbitance from the West Tower.

Plans for the space anticipate apartments, offices, shopping and a hotel.
