Pufa Tower, High-rise office building in Pudong, Shanghai, China

Pufa Tower is a 36-story office building in Shanghai's financial district, featuring a glass and steel structure that rises above the surrounding area. The building houses corporate offices and retail spaces distributed across its floors.

Pufa Tower was completed in 2000, marking a period of rapid urban development in Pudong's business district during China's economic growth. The building emerged when Shanghai was establishing itself as a major financial center.

The name 上海浦东发展银行大厦 combines the city, the bank's shortened form Pufa and the word for building, so locals often call it Pufa Tower. The Shanghai Pudong Development Bank moved its offices into the building in January 2003, and its name has been tied to the tower ever since.

The building is situated in the heart of Pudong's financial district and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors should note that the area is busy with activity, and morning or evening light offers the best conditions for viewing or photographing the structure.

The building was designed jointly by the East China Architectural Design & Research Institute and Canada's WZMH Architects. Its roof reaches 146.6 metres, but with the beacon on top the total height is 185 metres. The eight-storey podium rises 30 metres. The bank moved in in January 2003.
