Plaza 66, Commercial skyscraper in Nanjing Xi Lu, China
Plaza 66 is a commercial building with 66 floors above ground plus three basement levels located on Nanjing Xi Lu in Shanghai. The structure combines office spaces and retail areas at a central location within the city's business district.
Architects Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates designed this tower, which was completed in 2006. The completion marked an important moment in developing Shanghai's financial district during the early 2000s.
The building houses numerous international luxury brand stores that draw visitors wanting to experience Shanghai's role as a global commercial hub. This collection of shops reflects how the city has established itself as an important destination for international trade and consumer culture.
The building connects directly to Shanghai's public transportation system through underground passages and offers extensive parking facilities. Visitors find easy access to restaurants and services inside and around the structure.
The tower's geometric form creates different visual patterns throughout the day as sunlight reflects off its glass and metal exterior. These changing reflections give the building a different appearance as hours pass.
