Tianjin Chow Tai Fook Binhai Center, Supertall skyscraper in Binhai New Area, Tianjin, China
Description
The Tianjin Chow Tai Fook Binhai Center is a 530-meter-tall skyscraper with 98 floors above ground, wrapped in a curved glass exterior. Eight massive sloping columns support the entire structure and give it its distinctive tapered form.
History
Construction began in 2013 under New World Development's oversight and finished in 2019. The completion marked a turning point in how Tianjin presented itself as a major business hub.
Culture
The tower represents Tianjin's shift into a modern business center and shows how the city reinvents itself through architecture. Locals and visitors experience office spaces, residences, and hotels stacked vertically, reflecting how contemporary Chinese cities build upward rather than outward.
Practical
The building houses 267 elevators to move people through its many floors efficiently. Its tapered aerodynamic shape helps reduce wind pressure on the structure as you go higher.
Did you know?
This is the tallest building in the world with fewer than 100 floors, a remarkable engineering achievement. Below ground, a complex network of underground levels supports the entire structure and its operations.
