Nanning China Resources Tower, Supertall skyscraper in Nanning, China
Guangxi China Resources Tower, also called China Resources Centre Block A, is a 403-metre supertall skyscraper of 87 floors in Nanning's Qingxiu District. Its facade is clad in reflective blue glass panels set in a dense grid of horizontal and vertical lines, with lighter vertical strips running up the corners and between sections. The tower rises straight to a flat roofline without setbacks, and a narrow solid vertical band runs along its right edge.
Construction of the tower started in 2014 and it opened on 2 November 2020. The original plan called for a height of 445 metres, but this was cut back mid-construction because of airspace restrictions, leaving the finished building at 403 metres.
The tower's name links it to China Resources, the state-owned conglomerate behind the development, and locals also call it China Resources Centre Block A. Its 87 floors mix office zones served by separate lift banks with a hotel occupying the upper levels, reached by shuttle lifts to sky lobbies on floors 44 and 45.
The tower stands in Jintou Subdistrict, Qingxiu District, Nanning. Its lifts are split into zones: six KONE cars each serve office zones 1 to 5, while eight shuttle cars link the ground floor with the sky lobby on floors 44 and 45. Hotel guests use separate Hitachi lifts serving floors 68 to 88.
The tower's height was cut from a planned 445 metres to 403 metres mid-construction because of airspace restrictions, and it still became Nanning's tallest building at completion in 2020. Its 87 floors are served by lifts from Kone and Hitachi, with shuttle lifts running to a sky lobby on the 44th and 45th floors.
