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 building represents modern Chinese architectural progress through its name in Mandarin, 上海浦东发展银行大厦, reflecting its role in Shanghai's banking sector.
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 tower was designed by the architecture firm WZMH Architects and features an integrated approach to mixing office and retail functions vertically. This combination of uses within a single structure makes it representative of modern Shanghai's mixed-use development strategy.
