Sinar Mas Center, Skyscraper in North Bund, Shanghai, China.
Sinar Mas Center is a 320-meter-tall skyscraper containing 67 floors of offices and commercial spaces positioned along the Huangpu River. The structure features curved surfaces and perforated metal elements that improve energy performance.
Construction began in 2008 under the original name White Magnolia Plaza and was completed in 2017 after modifications to the initial height design. The project reflects Shanghai's evolution as a major global financial hub.
The name White Magnolia refers to Shanghai's city flower, and the complex's shopping centre was the first in North Bund. Its three buildings include a 66-storey office tower, a 39-storey W Hotel and a 47-metre shopping and entertainment centre. The tower's top floor has a helipad, and a 320-metre observation deck opened on 15 April 2025.
The complex stands in Hongkou District's North Bund, north of the Bund and beside the international cruise terminal. It holds three buildings: the 66-storey, 320-metre office tower, a 39-storey W Hotel at 172 metres, and a 47-metre shopping and entertainment centre. The White Magnolia observation deck on the tower's top floor opened on 15 April 2025.
The tower's height was revised twice: first proposed at 388 metres, cut to 260, then built to 319.5 metres. Its 66-storey office block was Puxi's tallest by roof height when completed on 4 January 2017, and a helipad sits on the roof. The White Magnolia observation deck opened there on 15 April 2025.
